Imperial Mandate: A Sovereign Justice AU Game

Imperial Mandate: A Sovereign Justice AU Game (IM:ASJAUG) is a role-playing game and grand strategy game set in the Age of Turmoil, a time period where gods of the Light and gods of the Abyss became involved in everyday life and conflict in various universes and multiverses as a result of the "Great Mistake," co-developed by Emmerson Development Studio and Paradox Development Studio and published by Emmerson Publications. Combining elements of Stellaris, Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings, Imperial Mandate was designed as a Crusader Kings-based game with modern and futuristic elements incorporated.
The game was described by the lead developer and NSC Army staff sergeant Scarlet Rangers as "the badly morally gray alternate universe where the gods have decided to up their competition, leading to the chaos of the Age of Turmoil and the subsequent Void Crisis" and "what could have been a bad future, if events played very differently in the past."
==List of factions==
===Primary factions===
Black Empire: The Black Empire is an empire located between Kazdel, the Black Crown Protectorate, Lungmen, the Kingdom of the Light, and Yen. Created by the gods of the abyss, the Black Empire is composed of various volunteers, including Terran volunteers, as well as forces from the Armies of the Abyss. The Black Empire, despite being seen as the evil counterpart of the Kingdom of the Light, is actually seen as more reasonable due to the precarious situation in Terra, and was made to keep watch over the Black Crown Protectorate and the Kingdom of the Light, intervene only if the conflict threatened to tear Terra apart.
The leader of the Black Empire is Red Disciple Mauwhntowhk. The Black Empire's forces were composed of various soldiers and eldritch monsters. The difficulty for the Black Empire is Easy.
Black Crown Protectorate: Created from the aftermath of the invasion and occupation of the Empire of Ursus and its subsequent colonization by a Novayan expeditionary force, the Black Crown Protectorate, officially Reichskommissariat Ursus, is an NSC-ruled military colony based on the defeated Empire of Ursus. Essentially an outright military dictatorship, the Black Crown Protectorate is continuously demonized as a tyrannical dictatorship hellbent on committing genocides, ritual sacrifices and slavery. Despite this, the Black Crown Protectorate is actually seen as more benign thanks to its government's anti-corruption policies.
The leader of the Black Crown Protectorate is Borealis Norsoutha III, a 23-uear-old Novayan human who holds the position of Expeditionary Forces Admiral and held the title of "The Black Crown". The Black Crown Protectorate's forces were composed of several small but elite NSC core army units, various NSC client state units of differing size and quality, and colonial militias. The difficulty for the Black Crown Protectorate is Hard.
Kingdom of the Light: Formed from the establishment of various colonial settlements in and around Bolivar, Columbia, Victoria, Siracusa and Leithanien, the Kingdom of the Light is a theocratic government located in Terra. Founded by the Armies of the Light, the mission of the Kingdom of the Light is to keep watch over the NSC-controlled Black Crown Protectorate, seeing it as a tyrannical dictatorship, maintain its position as a theocracy willing to help the Terrans and and spread the various religions of the light to the civilizations of Terra. In spite of its mission, the Kingdom of the Light is run by a corrupt clergy, supported by the various holy orders which were either blind, corrupt or overzealous.
The leader of the Kingdom of the Light is the Lightbringer, a human heroine who holds the position of Holy Light's King. The Kingdom of the Light's forces were composed of medium-sized Light units, large-sized army levies and small but elite holy orders. The difficulty for the Kingdom of the Light is Hard.
