Production
Ends of Empire was developed by Richard Dansky, who wrote it together with Bruce Baugh, Geoffrey C. Grabowski, and Ed Huang. Richard Thomas served as art director for the book; the art team also included interior artists Richard Clark, John Cobb, Mike Danza, Larry MacDougall, and Drew Tucker, and cover artist William O'Connor.

Part of the "Year of the Reckoning"

The supplement was released by White Wolf Publishing in August–October 1999, as a 164-page softcover book. It has since also been released as an e-book.

Reception and legacy
Ends of Empire was well received by critics, who considered it a bold and fitting ending to the Wraith: The Oblivion game line; in his book Designers & Dragons, writer Shannon Appelcline called it a dramatic finale, and almost unprecedented as a resolution to a tabletop role-playing game plot, only preceded by TSR, Inc.'s campaign setting revamps in 1989 and by West End Games' ending to Torg in 1995.
