Kingdom of Imperium

:Not to be confused with the realm.
The Kingdom of Imperium is a technologically advanced city situated within the realm of Imperium. It heavily relied on dragon power. Levo ruled over the civilization until Ras orchestrated his assassination and subsequently overthrew Zeatrix, thus allowing Beatrix to assume the title of Empress of Imperium for years. During her reign, Beatrix governed with oppressive measures and propagated her ideologies relentlessly.
After the Merge, Beatrix aimed to conquer the merged realms by relentlessly pursuing the Source Dragons. However, she became lost in a MergeQuake that she had created, resulting in her disappearance. With Beatrix gone, the Imperians recognized an opportunity to establish a fresh start in the kingdom. They reformed themselves into a democratic society known as New Imperium.
==History==
===Background===
The Kingdom of Imperium was a city where both Imperians and dragons coexisted harmoniously. The dragons willingly shared their energy, which played a crucial role in powering the kingdom and ensuring its prosperity. Emperor Levo ruled over Imperium, keeping the Imperians isolated from the outside world and limiting their knowledge about other realms and their inhabitants. One day, Ras saw an opportunity to exploit Imperium's advanced technology for his master's plan to conquer other realms. Ras convinced Beatrix, who was tempted by his offer, to betray her father and become the Empress of Imperium in exchange for helping him. This act of betrayal led to Ras successfully plotting the murder of Emperor Levo and the banishment of Zeatrix from the kingdom. As a result, Beatrix took the throne and her influence caused the Imperians to develop a strong animosity towards dragons, viewing them as dangerous creatures. Ana, however, was ostracized for defending Zanth against Imperium's exploitation of dragon energy. With the Merge, Imperium found itself neighboring Ninjago City, prompting Ana to seek sanctuary at the Crossroads with Arin. Meanwhile, Zane was trapped in a stasis pod at the Monastery of Imperium during the chaotic events. To sustain the kingdom during the Merge, Ras assisted in capturing a Source Dragon, which was then placed beneath Imperium to provide power for the entire city.
===Dragons Rising, Season 1===
====The Merge: Part 1====
After successfully apprehending Riyu as part of Ras' agenda, the Claws of Imperium had planned to transfer Riyu to the kingdom on the next day. However, Riyu eluded their custody and managed to escape to the Crossroads.
====The Merge: Part 2====
Upon the Claws' return to Imperium, Ras promptly apprised Beatrix of Lloyd's successful connection with a Matriarch Dragon, which signified the advancement in Imperium's ongoing pursuit of the Source Dragons.
====Beyond Madness====
====Writers of Destiny====
Rapton and two Claw Hunters came back to the Kingdom of Imperium with the Ice Dragons they had captured from Cloud Kingdom, following Beatrix and Ras' instructions.
====Return to Imperium====
Lloyd, Arin, Sora, and Riyu infiltrated the Kingdom of Imperium by using the Imperium Sewers, subsequently gaining access to the Security Station to acquire Imperian ID cards and uniforms. Regrettably, their efforts was thwarted by an Imperium Guard, who promptly apprehended the ninja due to their failure to adhere to the mandatory shoulder pad policy on weekdays. They were escorted to the Public-Shaming Platform for punishment. Fortunately, Riyu's intervention facilitated their escape, albeit resulting in their separation. Lloyd unintentionally encountered Wyldfyre, whom he mistook as Kai, within Imperium Prison. Meanwhile, Arin and Riyu remained pursued by the Imperium Guards, and Sora, while attempting to deactivate the Photac in the Advanced Systems Lab, was caught by Dr. LaRow.

====I Will Be the Danger====
====The Calm Inside====
The battle between the dragons and the Photacs persisted outside the Imperium Palace, while Arin and Sora infiltrated the Security Station once more to gain access to the security logs and ascertain Riyu's status. Their investigation revealed that Riyu was being held captive within the palace, under the custody of Beatrix. Meanwhile, Kai and Nya found themselves in a state of confusion as they were at the Monastery of Imperium. Their bewilderment was soon dispelled when they heard the voice of Wu's ghost, who guided them to Zane's stasis pod.
Arin and Sora infiltrated the palace, evading the Imperium Guards. To their surprise, they discovered the Imperians' scheme to siphon Riyu's dragon energy. Informed of the situation and the distressing attacks inflicted upon the dragons by the Photacs, Lloyd rallied the dragons and Wyldfyre, initiating a assault on the Imperium Palace. In response, Beatrix and Ras promptly left the palace to join the fray with the Claws of Imperium. In the palace, Arin and Sora attempted to free Riyu from his cage. However, their plan was stopped by Dr. LaRow and Jordana, who caught them and destroyed their communicators. Meanwhile, the battle outside momentarily ceased when the Monastery of Imperium emerged from the ground, heralding the arrival of Kai, Nya, and Zane.
====The Battle of the Second Monastery====
====The Temple of the Dragon Cores====
====Gangs of the Sea====
====Land of Lost Things====
====Absolute Power====
====We Are All Dragons====
====The Power Within====
Beatrix uses the MergeQuake weapon to create MergeQuakes, sending innocent Imperians into the rifts, including Kai, Wyldfyre, Riyu, Percival, and Rapton. When her parents egotistically continue their support for Beatrix, Sora achieves her True Potential and dismantles the weapon before Arin sent Beatrix into a MergeQuake rift she recently created.
After Lloyd used the Dragon Cores to stop the MergeQuake Storm and freed the Source Dragon, the Kingdom of Imperium started a democracy, renaming itself New Imperium and was in talks of forming a council. While she attempted to leave the kingdom, Ras recruits Jordana on behalf of his master for her efforts in draining the Source Dragon, and currently had a small sample remaining.
===Dragons Rising, Season 2===
====Shattered Dreams====
Percival deliberated on ways to improve the Kingdom of Imperium in Beatrix's absence, proposing the establishment of public gardens and sustainable energy sources, as well as opening the kingdom to outlanders. Unexpectedly, Euphrasia arrived, having crash-landed outside the kingdom and seeking aid from Percival due to a fractured leg.

==Trivia==
*According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the Kingdom of Imperium had long been a secluded society, but Beatrix ascending the throne intensified the oppressive nature of the kingdom significantly. This was evident in "Absolute Power" when Levo, displaying contempt, mistreated Ras for being an outlander.https://x.com/otherland71/status/1742824503342936540
