Empire of the Unified Central Continent

This is how everything began, with a single crown to rule over the whole continent. It seems so strange now, that there are so many royal heads looking after it in the wake of the demise of something so splendorous. Professor from the Central Continent referring to the legacy of the empire and the effects of its collapse

Structure

The Emperor

There are few titles in history that resound with such prestige and power as the one of the Continental Emperor. Professor von Herz about the title

The position of the emperors in the empire was unquestionable. They held absolute power over every internal and foreign affair, having the rest of the government serve only a supportive role in their reign. Revered as chosen by the heavenly forces and considered to have the divine right to the imperial throne, they were the beating heart of the empire.

Circle of closest imperial advisors

These were the people who answered directly to the emperor, having the rest below them. They advised the emperor on a regular daily basis in the affairs of the state. The circle leader was called "the Great Advisor" and held the power to exercise imperial authority when the emperor was away.

History

Creation

Created somewhere around 450CE, the beginning of the empire is somewhat shrouded in mystery. There are many concepts on how a continental unification might have happened, but the most popular theory is the religious zeal the old peoples of the Central Continent showed culminated in their unity under one, considered to be chosen by their divine lords, leader.

Creation of the Throne of the Central Emperors

The most spectacular achievement of the whole existence of the Empire was the commission and creation of the legendary Throne of the Emperors, the colossal structure from which the vast nation would be governed. It is the one thing that has persisted after the imperial dissolution and still stands as a reminder of the long gone magnificence of that old Empire.

Collapse of the empire

Due to the cultural differences between the regions, growing civil unrest began shaking the foundations of the empire. The religion that held the empire together began weakening, with people losing faith in what was once so fervently believed. The progress of technology somewhat speeded up the process of turning away from the spiritualist aspects of life. After the inefficient rule of the last three emperors, the various peoples of the empire have had enough and began separating from the state, eventually leading to its absolute collapse.

Territories

The Empire encompassed the entire landmass of the Central Continent alongside a few islands that are of its coast.
