Gittish Empire

The Gittish Empire is made of a mishmash of individuals that all share their common alignment. Home of demons and all other beings of malice, ranging from crime lords to the embodiment of pure evil.

## Overview

A congregation of evil creatures formed out of convenience for camaraderie, bloodsport, or trade, the Gittish Empire is a place where you can get anything and everything for the right price.

However, this world of wonders is filled with hidden dangers, where you can be casually making deals and then get kidnapped right off the street, to be browsing wares then you become wares.

A place where you have to look thrice crossing streets, you never know who might be watching, and not everything that looks like a car is a car around here.

Locals literally stash weapons inside themselves, and when they get grievously wounded, not an uncommon occurrence, surprise! A bazooka in their stomach lining. Get rekt. BY A BAZOOKA, COVERED IN ACID.

There is no centralised currency, the value of any particular item or service is determined by the individuals, and how much they would personally desire it. Perhaps a soul in a bottle would go for a dozen pints of dragon blood.

The Galactic Federation considers the Gittish Empire to be a blight upon civilisation and takes every opportunity to oppose them. The Phoenix Empire however, tentatively trades with the Gittish Empire, and often subtly undermine Federation authority.

Life in the Gittish Empire is a constant risk of being body-bagged or enslaved or eaten or perhaps encased in a random wall for all of eternity.

Literally, just some dude be like, "hmm I'm bored. I don't like that guys face, so I'm gonna knock him out and then trap him in enamelled glass--without killing him first, of course, I want to know he's suffering--but dip him in preservatives first so he'll still look nice after he dies. Freeze him in that one position, and use him and maybe a bunch of other unfortunate people, as the new wall I'm installing. Such artistic decor.

Random dude walking down the road thinking "hm, sorta hungry." Just decks that guy next to him, and starts just devouring this dude who is screaming bloody murder with a hole in his arm. Then dude behind them is like "oh gotta get in on this party", and starts chewing a leg.

## Values of the Gittish Empire

Be strong, be cruel. Don't limit yourself with fairness or the traps of virtue. There are no rules besides strength.

1. He who strikes first, lives to strike second
2. If you are wronged, seek revenge
3. Uphold evil, destroy good
4. Chaos is amusement
5. Steel is your currency. With it, purchase what you please
6. Do as you will; the swords of others decide your limits

## Cults & Micronations

As the nature of the Gittish Empire means it's incredibly disorganised, the Empire is essentially run by constantly breaking and conquesting territories of warlords that make alliances and enemies constantly. There is no consistent structure, and often, a warlord falls and their lands are pillaged by their enemies.

There is always a fine balance between loyalty to your current lord so they don't kill you, and forging new alliances so that perhaps, when your lord falls, you do not fall victim to the massacre that is sure to follow. It's not surprising that most within this empire do not have long lifespans, and it takes someone particularly lucky or particularly skilled to navigate the turbulent waters of Gittish politics.

Anyone within the Gittish Empire could rule if they could amass a following, whether that is with violence, charm, wealth, or deception.
