Ends of Empire is the final book written and published for Wraith: The Oblivion. It serves the same purpose as VTM: Gehenna (book) Image:Bullet-nip.png, WTA: Apocalypse (book) Image:Bullet-nip.png, and the other end-times books did for the other old World of Darkness lines, just five years earlier. Despite the end of Wraith, this was not White Wolf's last foray into the world of the restless dead: several of the events in Ends of Empire became backstory for the ghost-based Orpheus a few years later.

  • Ends of Empire is the final book written and published for Wraith: The Oblivion. It serves the same purpose as VTM: Gehenna (book) Image:Bullet-nip.png, WTA: Apocalypse (book) Image:Bullet-nip.png, and the other end-times books did for the other old World of Darkness lines, just five years earlier. As a result of Wraith's poor sales, White Wolf decided to end the line early, and go out with a bang - literally, as the book chronicles the Sixth Great Maelstrom's destruction of the Underworld. In addition to the final scenario, player characters were given opportunities to find out the real fate of Charon and who attempted to betray Stygia to Oblivion, the Dark Kingdom of Jade, and other adversaries. There were also answers to some of the great mysteries from Wraith's history, including the identity of the Lady of Fate and the truth about the Mourners. The events leading up to and following the Sixth Great Maelstrom are of particular interest as the Maelstrom had a great effect on all the other World of Darkness games (most notably Hunter: The Reckoning, Mummy: The Resurrection and Demon: The Fallen) and played a role in the endings of many of the lines during the Time of Judgment. Despite the end of Wraith, this was not White Wolf's last foray into the world of the restless dead: several of the events in Ends of Empire became backstory for the ghost-based Orpheus a few years later.
