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 mourning 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 because the killer is eliminating Emily's critics.

Mere moments into the event Delilah Coppersoon, 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 manages to escape the tower. Emily escapes with Meghan Foster, who had rushed to Dunwall to inform Corvo about the coup on her ship The Dreadful Wale.

Emily is visited by The Outsider on her way to Karnaca, who gives her the choice as to whether she wants to accept his mark. Emily chooses to accept his mark 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.

 Meagen Foster explains that Anton Sokolov, 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.





 Ultimately Emily discovers that Delilah is immortal due to a séance held by Duke Luca Abele and his supporters which 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.





 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.

Emily subsequently takes back her rightful place as Empress of the Isles.
