Idea of Empire

After the clan wars, the High Kings’ Clan became a highly militarized autocracy that integrated the foreign cultures it conquered. Its principal philosophy dedicates the citizens to something higher than themselves, the idea of Empire.
The idea of Empire, coined by the Underking of the time, High King Nuradaerin “Empire Builder” Nidavellirson, translated the concept into a nationalistic imperialistic totalitarian homogeneous culture that obliterates the identity of every new Dalmer group it conquered, and spares (when possible) the dissenters.
The Idea of Empire was made to ensure long term stability at all costs, where the individual has no value beyond its utility to the state, either as an instrument of research, production or war. Despite this, the Dalmer were not yet an Empire, the idea of Empire was simply the policy put into place by the High King on the proposal of the Underking. In reality at this point it was simply inter clan warfare, with the High King entering the competition with the power of the Mountain in Space behind him.
