The series takes place in the fictional Empire of the Isles, with the
majority of Dishonored 2 set in the coastal city of Karnaca. After
Empress Emily Kaldwin is deposed by an "otherworldly usurper", the
player may choose between playing as either Emily or her bodyguard and
father Corvo Attano as they attempt to reclaim the throne. Both Emily
and Corvo employ their own array of supernatural abilities. They can
alternatively decide to forfeit them altogether. There are a multitude
of ways to succeed in each given mission, from stealth to purposeful
violent conflict.
