The Empire

The Empire was an entity that arose at the end of The Interregnum from the Grand Summit of Ibevar where the most powerful mages of the land delivered an ultimatum to the gathered rulers: peace under their rule or die. In its early life The Empire was a fully fledged magocracy though after the Concordat of Rule in 1321 the magocracy was essentially replaced by a magic-nobility elective monarchy.
At its greatest extent The Empire ruled the lands surrounding the Dameshead including Gawed as well as half of Escann (which was lost during the Imperial Secession Wars).
