Old Empire

== Overview ==
The Old Empire is seen as the height of Imperial culture, state-craft and excellence. It is based on the existence of this vast empire that modern notions of imperial superiority are founded. 
Before the Stormfall, the Old Empire was the undisputed master of Anu. Though there existed many independent states and kingdoms, none of these could come close to rival the Old Empire in any aspect. The homeland of the Old Empire lies on the western tip of the continent of Excaria. From here they spread their influence across the nearby continents of Barrova and Fulgium. 
Shortly before the Stormfall they also discovered the continent of Ferra, where they established the Imperial Colonies.
Since the Stormfall, the mainland of the Old Empire was lost beyond the Stormrift. Some say the Stormrift is somehow the doing of the Old Empire, maybe a punishment, whereas others say the Stormrift was sent by the gods because they feared the power and potential of this grand entity. Whatever anyone thinks, most Imperials think that one day the Old Empire will breach the Stormrift and return to Ferra to restore it to the light of its order.
== The Empire and the Imperials ==
While the true origin of the Old Empire has been lost to time, it is generally though that the petty human and elfish kingdoms of western Excaria united to fend of some great danger or evil. Overtime the different cultures and people began to intermingle until the humans and elves ceased to be different people, instead becoming one and the same. A mixed race nowadays known as the Imperials.
