Okay cool! I've redone it and cut it WAY down. How's this? Should I add a Fate bit at the end? (The start is the same because looking at Corvo's page the scene is set in some detail, but I really have tried to race through everything else.) :)

Fifteen years after the Lord Regent's insurrection is brought to an end, Emily serves as Empress of the Isles. However, a new threat to her reign emerges in the wake of the Crown Killer murders. Either Corvo or Emily herself must travel to the southern city of  Karnaca to confront the issue.

On the date of the 15th anniversary of the death of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin's death, Empress Emily Kaldwin hosts the annual event remembering her death. Tensions against herself and Corvo Attano are high due to the recent murders of the Crown Killer, which many believe she is responsible for, as the killer is eliminating Emily's critics.

Mere moments into the event  Delilah Copperspoon, now styled Empress Delilah Kaldwin I, crashes the event with the Duke of  Serkonos,  Luca Abele by her side. They depose Emily despite Corvo's attempt to kill Delilah and during the ensuing fight, either Emily or Corvo is trapped in stone. Canonically, Corvo is trapped in stone and Emily later escapes the tower[8 ] after eliminating  Captain Mortimer Ramsey lethally or non-lethally. Emily escapes with <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:blue;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;"> Meagan Foster<span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">, who had rushed to Dunwall to inform Corvo about the coup, on <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:blue;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;"> The Dreadful Wale <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">Emily is visited by <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:blue;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;"> The Outsider<span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;"> on her way to Karnaca, who gives her the choice as to whether they want to accept his mark. Emily chooses to accept his mark[22 ] and armed with her new powers resolves to find out why the coup managed to be successful, as well as look for a way to regain her throne.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">Meagen Foster explains that <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:blue;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;"> Anton Sokolov<span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">, Emily's old tutor, was the one who discovered evidence of Delilah's coup, but he was captured before they could reach Dunwall with the news. From there Emily eliminates the various members of the coup against her, rescuing Sokolov in the process.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">Ultimately Emily discovers that Delilah is immortal due to a séance held by Duke Luca Abele and his supporters that brought Delilah back from the Void. They also transferred her spirit into a statue, rendering her immortal. Emily subsequently manages to eliminate the Duke and retrieve Delilah’s spirit. Emily locks it into the Heart, putting her own mother’s spirit at rest in the process.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">Emily then returns to Dunwall, either killing her aunt, or trapping her in her own painted world she aspired to make reality. Canonically she chooses to trap Delilah and then releases her father Corvo from his frozen state.

<p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";font-size:12pt;">Emily subsequently takes back her place as Empress.
