Empyrean Empire

The Empyrean Empire lays claim to all lands in and above, and all waters around, the supercontinent of Lotria - with the notable exception of Scoria, Lichfield, and the islands around Lotria. The empire's capitol is Candor, which functionally serves as the capitol of Lotria, Dysphoria, and Euphoria.

At the heart of Lotria lies Euphoria, the political and geographical center of the Empyrean Empire.

The reigning Empyrean Emperor is Kalon Charming VII.

The empire's history is almost entirely a matter of myth. Official historians have traditionally crafted records that are exaggerated or demonstrably fictitious, to suit the preference of the current emperor. Some accounts claim historians are enchanted as a precondition to office. The benevolent rule of the "good guys" (with the High Elves at the forefront) is a theme throughout the empire's mythology, with contrary evidence suppressed, and opposing factions portrayed as evil or otherwise inferior.

Among the royalty, nobles, and gentry, the phrase "In All Candor" is frequently used, often without the intended irony.

The Empyrean Empire tightly controls travel into and across its controlled lands. The Empyrean Empire classifies portals as contraband, due to their potential intelligence and military applications. The Empyrean Empire employs checkpoints and dragnets to confiscate portals and other contraband, and identify dissidents.

Tariffs on the trade of Anaphoria's cash crops, especially chuckaboo honey and glurge, has made the Empyrean Empire extraordinarily wealthy. Nowhere is this wealth more apparent than in Candor, with Castle Candor a shining symbol of that wealth.
