### The Constellation Empire

"*The Constellation Empire is everything."*

The Constellation Empire, also called the Empire, is a grand and prospering empire ruled by the Scorpios. The Empire stands upon the Land of the Stars, and it protected by thick golden walls that keep everyone from exiting the Empire and wandering the wilds in the Land of the Stars. The palace stands in the center of the Empire, and the House of the Nobility circle the palace.

### Rankings

*"At birth, people are determined by their constellations, their date of birth."*

Everyone are divided into different ranks according to their constellations upon their birth, and the symbols of their constellations are branded onto their wrists at a young age. The ranks are as follows (from the most upper-class to the lowest class):

* Scorpio: The ruling class, the royalty of the Constellation Empire. They have ultimate decision over everything in the Empire.
* Virgo: Usually are the advisors to the Scorpios and are considered nobility in the Constellation Empire, along with the Libras. Usually betrothed to the Scorpios to keep the bloodline pure from commoners.
* Libra: Considered nobility in the Constellation Empire, advisors to the Scorpios along with the Virgos. Usually betrothed to the Scorpios.
* Aquarius: The merchant class in the Constellation Empire. They usually overlook trade in the Empire.
* Leo: The labor overseers, they manage of laboring in the Empire.
* Gemini: The food production overseers, manage the food in the Empire.
* Pisces: The priests of the Constellation Empire
* Sagittarius: The most powerful magic-practicing people and main teachers of magic, along with the Cancers
* Cancer: The more powerful magic-practicing people and main teachers of magic, along with the Sagittarius
* Capricorn: The working class, also in control of other small trinkets and household items.
* Taurus: The working class.
* Aries: The working class.

### Ranking determination/birth

    *"The gods gave the Empire a gift--a gift that replaces reproduction, a gift that ensures that the highly stay pure and the lowly stay poor."*

Displaced all around the Empire are vender-like machines, called "The Blessing of Birth", or the Blessing for short. When a couple acquires a child, they have to go to the Blessing, cut one of their fingers each and let the blood drop on a small glass tray ejected from the machine. The machine would take in the blood and create a child using the blood, determining their constellation with their parents' blood, and thus ensuring that the lower class won't birth upper class people, and vice versa. Then, the machine would produce a piece of paper, written with the exact date of the child's "birth date", or "creation date". The parents could then come to the machine on that date and pick up their child.

### Mythology

*"The gods descended from the stars. They created people, then ascended back to the galaxy above once more, watching over their creations."*

The twelve gods (note that both female and male deities are called gods) of the Empire are named after the twelve different constellations, with each god looking over a different aspect. The gods grant the people magic and power, and it is rumored that they created "the Blessing of Birth". The gods are as follows:
