Silician Empire

History

Formed from the city-state of Silici , the empire grew quickly, driven by the first emperor's religious conviction. Claiming to have been given prophetic visions by Verity, he proclaimed to have been given a divine task to help everyone to get to their proper place in the world. He announced that the human race, closest to the Divine, was to rule and guide, while the other races were to serve and obey. Driven by religious fervour, the empire quickly expanded. The empire has expanded to the point where it is struggling to keep itself together and has granted areas more and more autonomy.
Long before the Empire, magic was outlawed in the home country of the imperial family due to the corrupting effects. This has evolved to the use of controllers in the Empire. Many see it as a civic duty to report magic users to the authorities.

Religion

Worship of Verity us required by all citizens of the Empire. Anyone not worshipping her is branded a heretic.
