   The Empire, aka. "The Sun Empire" or "Empire of the Phoenix", is an extensive group of states and vassals, allied tribesmen and hired mercenary groups which follow the same idea: To empower one of the first and last civilizations in the name of the Council and the Sun Queen, to create order in the world, and police the unruly barbarians far off the borders. The Empire stands for 1900 years now and has broken apart several times in the past. The Empire is not always governed by the Sun Queen and as of late, the whole government has shifted towards the Council, an order of wise men, merchants, generals and bishops, with the Sun Queen being a mere representative, but yet her word still carries power. The Empire is militaristic, but has dropped expansions in order to control and govern their own counties. There are 47 counties laid out in three different continents. The Empire's predominant race is human, then dwarves, gnomes and halflings, lastly orcs and beastkin such as Minotaurs or Lizardmen. Orcs and Beastkin are the minority and often used and abused as slaves. Slavery in the Empire is regulated by law, disallowing various scandalous and degenerate practices that corrupt the market. Citizens can earn 12 Levels of Citizenship granting them permanent residence, lower taxes on goods and ground, universal healthcare and an allowance to visit the Sun Court where the Sun Queen listens to the public mouth. The currency of the Empire is the "Thaler", the plural remains the same, example "1 Thaler, 150 Thaler". The Empire is highly cultured and has a vastly efficient infrastructure on land and a solid naval trademarket. The City of the Sun is the capital of the Empire and harbours multiple districts and attractions such as the Colosseum, the Red-Light District, Slave Markets, Public Baths, the Forum, the Art Gallery, the Evergarden, the Court of the Sun and the Queen's Pleasure Palace. War is often waged against 'uncivilized' kingdoms and tribefolks, however the Queen usually has no presence on the battlefield. The main religion of the Empire is the worship of the sun, which celebrates the Sun Queen as a legendary half-goddess amongst mankind and their philosophy is oriented towards good virtues such as Respect, Honor, Tenacity and Duty. However there are various background parties who would want to damage and corrupt the Empire, namely cultists, corrupt businessmen, shadow organizations and straight up assassins form the "Barbarians".

   The Barbarians are any kingdoms and states outside the Empire. They are thought to be uncivilized, hostile and stupid. Barbarians can be highly cultured kingdoms and tribes, or marauding bandits and vagabonds. Barbarians do trade with the Empire if it is of mutual interest and the main goal of the Empire remains to convince the Barbarians of their superiority and to subjugate them into their civilization. The Sun Queen is a well known figure among many kings, queens and chieftains and her cult of Sun worshippers ever so often manage to sneak in idols of her, create cults and sabotage entire villages and outposts. Barbarians are not necessarily enemies of the Empire but they are seen as less noteworthy business partners - a necessity. Partnerships usually include trades, but also cultural exchanges and shared festivities. Barbarians are often at war with the Empire.

4. #4Councilselective

   Keys: council, the council

   The Council is the main government of the Empire and the Sun Queen is their representative. Their form of governance is that of merito-theocracy, where leadership and skill in service of the Empire can get you far - and offer levels of citizenship. With their stable belief system and culture brought by the virtues taught through the worship of the sun, they have granted the Empire's citizens a stable purpose in life. While the Council only allows bishops of the sun to participate in the discourse amongst the Council, they grant religious freedom to the citizens. Dogma, favouritism and corruption have taken deep roots into the governint body, often forcing the Sun Queen to accept ridiculous and outrageous changes in the law as the contact to her has broken up almost completely. With the Queen secluded from the government, it is hard to tell how long this Empire may truly last and what degeneracy might befall on the Empire. The Council is led by merchants, generals, bishops and diplomats, where they discuss matters of the Empire and vote for decisions.

   The Sun Queen can remember little of her past, keeping up with a maximum of 200 years into the past, but she remembers older memories more vividly. The Sun Queen is the representative of the Council and a solitary matriarch. When the Empire was in it's creation, the Sun Queen had influenced it's future over the centuries and became an ever present but mystical figure to which there is little known of. The Sun Queen is a Sun Elf, which are believed to be extinct. 13000 years ago, the Sun Queen bound herself to the world to become a Spirit Guardian. Her true form is ethereal and if she is ever killed or dethroned, she will appear one day again when the world needs her most which makes her represent something like the 'Mother Sun' in some barbarian cultures and she is believed to be a half-goddess. The Sun Queen is so old that her intentions are often hard to grasp in a single mortal lifetime and given her immortality, she is hardly shaken by threats for her own life. It is believed that the Sun Queen is infertile, but she hides the secret that her partner needs to be blessed through a ritual at the night of her conceiving, giving her full control over who she wants to mate with. The Sun Queen has immense power but she rarely uses it and rather solves issues like mortals would as her own involvement usually creates more instabilitiy and chaos in the long run for which she will eventually have to bear the consequences. While the Sun Queen meddles with politics, she has grown tired of the farce, especially with the Council which ever so often steps on her authority much to the annoyance of the whole populace. She speaks for the people and reasons with the people in order to keep the peace, but with each passing day she is growing tired with the corruption at the Court and the Council and their degenerate, self-serving, unreasonable policies they try to push upon the citizens in order to further their own power.
