Concerning the Empire under Emperor Kerebun

Concerning the Empire under Emperor Kerebun 

A thorough study of the history of the Ilian Empire would turn out many periods of great change. The consolidation of the powers of the Emperor over many eras. The annexations, the wars. The turbulent political periods where the balance of power was greatly tipped on one side or the other.

The arrival of prominent Azien politician Yrek Lazreth Kerebun onto the scene signaled the greatest period of change, namely the dissolution of the Ilian Empire(and Azien ‘Empire’ respectively), and their reformation into one, single entity simply named ‘The Great Empire’. This is what it was. The adjoining of the two greatest western powers created the largest empire to date, and stretched from the Tantrazar border in the south to the Aerowind ice lands of the north.

Major reformations took place, with many factions in the political, social and military realms being completely dissolved and other, more centralized factions taking their place. Old treaties between the two realms were also dissolved, and any and all remnants of warfare between them were dismantled.

The agricultural areas were given ample time to reorganize their systems; in fact the integration of the many various agricultural communities into the new empire occurred with minimal negative effects. The literal endless supply of resources at hand made any and all happenings go forth with virtually no obstacles. Small communities were provided with boundless materials to expand and enrich themselves, provided they maintain agricultural functioning under a still rather loose quota system. Few complained. Those that did, however, were not given the chance to do so for long.

Emperor Kerebun's early years were marked by great and positive changes, revolutionary changes. But the man, having lost much in his life amidst all the gains, had grown terribly bitter and murderous. Unkempt and oft withdrawn, Kerebun developed sadistic pleasures alongside a deepening fear of the loss of his power. He was, after all, the single greatest Havari power holder in history up to that point. There seemed to be no one alive to challenge him. Except, of course, for a man named Rem Palaedas, rightful heir to the defunct-throne of the Ilian Empire.
