Britannic Empire (Concordant)

The Britannic Empire consists of seven core kingdoms, plus seven overseas territories. Unique among the Wixen world Empires, the Britannic Empire is ruled by an Imperial Council, consisting of seven co-reigning monarchs from the seven Foremost Ancient Imperial and Royal Houses of the Britannic Empire. Though all seven of these houses have been dormant since Mundane year 1697 CE and Wixen year 11197 WF or earlier and the Empire is, as of story start, technically ruled by the Royal House of Warwick, the mundane royal house of the United Kingdom. Though in practice, beyond a weekly meeting with the Imperial Viceroy and Governor-General of the Britannic Empire, in which the King is given a status report on the broad points of the goings on of the empire and signs a few important documents that are above even the Viceroy's pay grade, the mundane monarch has very little to do with the day-to-day running of the Empire, as the Viceroy handles that on his behalf. The Dragon Concordant is the written constitution of the Britannic Empire and details some laws which are immutable and can't be changed or overridden by the Wizengamot in it's legislative authority, as changing them would require amending the Concordant itself, which the Wizengamot does not hold the authority to do.

## Summary

### Migration

The migration of the wixen populace of the British Isles began in the year 541 CE/10041 WF when the Gods opened the portals to allow those who wished to escape the Great Purge begun by King Uther Pendragon of Camelot to migrate to the Wixen lands. The migration was completed in 581 CE/10081 WF with the arrival of the monarchs. To set their new dominion apart from the mundane lands they'd left, they compiled a list of new royalty and nobility titles.

### First Rulers

Starting in 581 CE/10081 WF, the first rulers of the Wixen British Isles were Arthur Pendragon as Varynex of the Kingdom of Anglia, Merlin Emrys as Varynex of the Kingdom of Hibernia, and Gawain MacCallum as the Varynex of Alba. From 581 CE/10081 WF to 693 CE/10193 WF, they ruled the three kingdoms and ushered in a golden age of peace and prosperity. During this time they were aided and advised by their four other consorts: William De Maris, Lancelot Du Lac, Guinevere Chastain, and Morgana Le Fey, who didn't have kingdoms of their own.

Then in 693 CE/10193 WF, representatives of the oppressed Wixen populaces of the Kingdoms of Francia, Aquitaine, Castile, and Galicia arrived at the British court and pleaded for aid in overthrowing their cruel and corrupt monarchs who were not as kind or enlightened as the British monarchs. As this event was foretold to them by the Gods upon their migration, Arthur, Merlin and Gawain granted the request. Each picking one of the kingdoms, William, Lancelot, Guinevere, and Morgana traveled to them and successfully challenged the rulers using the Rite of Conquest and became rulers in their own rights with William as Varynex of the Kingdom of Galicia, Lancelot as Varynex of the Kingdom of Castile, Guinevere as Varynexa of the Kingdom of Aquitaine, and Morgana as Varynexa of the Kingdom of Francia.

### Founding of the Empire

The Empire was officially founded on Mundane date 8 August 695 CE or Wixen date 17 Secondseed 10195 WF, as the monarchs of the seven core kingdoms were crowned as the co-reigning rulers of the new Empire by the High Priest of Zeus in the Grand Temple of the Pantheon in Londinium. The anniversary of this day has been celebrated every year since as Empire Day. It's also designated as the official state birthday celebration for the monarchs, regardless of when their birthdays actually fall during the year.

### Current Ruler

Between 1260 CE/10760 WF and 1697 CE/11197 WF, all seven of the Foremost Ancient Imperial and Royal Houses went dormant with no known heirs to inherit the throne. His Imperial & Royal Majesty Varynex-Vasileyus Arthur VII Pendragon, the last remaining monarch between 1676 CE/11176 WF and 1697 CE/11197 WF added what is currently the last amendment to the Dragon Concordant, the written constitution of the Britannic Empire. This amendment names the Head of the Mundane Royal House of Stuart and its legal successors as the Monarch of the Britannic Empire until such time that one or more of the Foremost Ancient Imperial and Royal Houses was restored from a dormant state. Of course, since people without magic are unable to enter the Wixen world proper, the Mundane King is really more of a figurehead, with all of the day-to-day operations of running the Empire resting with the Imperial Viceroy and Governor-General of the Britannic Empire and the various Ministries of Magic of the core kingdoms and territories.

The current monarch as of story start is His Majesty King Thomas IV of the Royal House of Warwick, while the current Imperial Viceroy and Governor-General is Lord Leonardo Damian.

## History of the Empire

The Empire has its origins with the Kingdom of Camelot, which was a large kingdom located in central Wales and western England in the Sixth Century CE. It was surrounded on all sides by multiple other kingdoms and was with the exception of a single port city at the mouth of the River Severn in Camelot’s Barony of Gedref a landlocked country. Three neighboring kingdoms existed along with Welsh coastline: Gwynedd, Dyfed, and Gawant. To the north was the Kingdom of Elmet, also known as the Perilous Lands, while to the northeast was the Kingdom of Mercia. To the east was the entirely landlocked Kingdom of Escetir, with the Kingdoms of Nemeth and Deorham to the south. There were other kingdoms in existence at the time, such as the Kingdoms of Cornwall, Kent, and Tir Mor, but due to its nearly landlocked position, Camelot tended to have the most dealings with those kingdoms that it shared land borders with.

King Uther Pendragon came to power in the year 530 CE when he conquered the Kingdom of Camelot. The Pendragons were already the ruling house of Camelot at that time, as Uther descended from a junior branch of the house. He didn’t agree with the decisions of his distant cousin, however, and enough people agreed with him that he was able to raise up an army and conquer the kingdom. Shortly after his coronation in 531 CE, he married Ygraine Du Bois, the daughter of the then King of Brittany, who Uther had fallen madly in love with a few years before his conquest while on a visit to the continent.

Despite numerous attempts by the very much in love and amorous Uther and Ygraine, it soon became apparent that Ygraine was barren and unable to carry children. Needing an heir for Camelot, Uther contacted a powerful witch and Priestess of the Old Religion, Nimueh, and asked for her help to overcome Ygraine’s fertility issues and allow her to bear him a male heir. Nimueh was very clear in explaining to Uther that the magic necessary to overcome Ygraine’s infertility would not come without cost as in order to create a life, a life had to be taken. Uther brushed these warnings aside however, never considering the idea that the life that would be taken to give him his son would be Ygraine’s, who would die in childbirth following the birth of Arthur Pendragon in the year 541 CE.

Consumed with grief over his beloved wife’s death and with rage against magic, which he blamed for the death of his wife (it didn’t help that while House Pendragon had magic, Uther himself was only just barely above a squib but still below a hedgewizard and thus couldn’t actually do any magic himself) that he set about the Great Purge, in which magic was driven out of the Kingdom of Camelot and anyone found practicing it within its borders was executed.

The Great Purge is what triggered the wixen populace of the British Isles to begin the migration out of the muggle world and into the newly created magical lands, upon the advice of the gods, who spoke through multiple Seers associated with the Temples of Apollo, Hecate, and even the so-called “Big Three”: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They were told that the newly-born Arthur Pendragon would be a powerful wizard and warrior, who would along with his six chosen consorts, bring forth a Golden Age of peace and prosperity for the wixen people of the Isles, the likes of which had never been seen before.

Armed with this knowledge, large portions of the wixen populace of the Isles began the move to the magical world, saving as many of their fellow witches and wizards as they could, along with numerous magical creature species that Uther seemed determined to drive into extinction. Uther seemed to bear a particular hostility towards dragons though no surviving records indicate the reasons behind this hostility. Some have speculated that since a golden dragon on a field of red was the sigil of House Pendragon, that Uther wanted to eliminate the dragons so that the Pendragons would be the only dragons in the world. Though his true motives are lost to time.

The mission of those immigrating was, while not simple, a task that they threw themselves into wholeheartedly: prepare the magical lands of Albion and Hibernia for the coming of Arthur and his Consorts. There were some stragglers of the Old Religion (the old Celtic religion that predated the Romans and the conversion to the Roman Pantheon, which was then replaced by the Greek Pantheon when the Roman Empire pulled out of Britannia) who remained in the muggle world. They were consumed with anger and bitterness against Uther and wanted him to pay for what he’d done, as it was mostly the remaining adherents of the Old Religion who’s gods hadn’t told them to migrate, that suffered the most during the Purge. Many of these adherents wanted to kill Arthur, as they saw that as the best way to hurt Uther.

In the end, Uther died in the year 563 CE, and after a tumultuous few years in which Arthur and his Consorts attempted to heal the wounds the Purge had caused in the muggle British Isles, they eventually realized the futility of it, as the scars ran too deep. Thus, in 581 CE/10081 WF, Arthur and his Consorts (Merlin Emrys, Gawain MacCallum, William De Maris, Lancelot du Lac, Guinevere Chastain, and Morgana Le Fey) successfully made their way to the magical lands, after faking their deaths and the end of House Pendragon in the muggle world at what became known as the Battle of Camlann. Arthur and his Consorts from then on focused exclusively on the magical lands as they helped their magical subjects who’d migrated at the beginning of Uther’s Great Purge in building up the British Isles into one the strongest powers in the European magical world. The muggles back in the mundane world were abandoned and allowed to do whatever they wanted without any interference from the throne of Camelot.

By 693 CE/10193 WF, after uniting all of the British Isles with Arthur as Lord and King of Anglia (England and Wales), Merlin as Lord and King of Hibernia (Ireland), and Gawain as Lord and King of Alba (Scotland), and ushering in the prophesied Golden Age, some of the other European magicals—namely Francia, Aquitaine, Castile, and Galicia—who’s leaders were not as enlightened or kind to their people as the Pendragon Seven were came to Camelot and begged the monarchs to aid them against their cruel and corrupt leaders. This led to Queens Morgana and Guinevere, and Kings William and Lancelot, the four remaining of Arthur’s Consorts who didn’t directly govern lands of their own, to step up and challenge these corrupt leaders to a magical duel to the death under the ancient, magical Rite of Conquest.

They won and assumed the mantles of the ancient magical ruling lines of Francia, Aquitaine, Castile, and Galicia, adding the final four parts of the Core Seven Territories that the Gods had told the Seven they would one day rule, but they had to wait until asked by the people of the four continental regions before they acted. It was then that the Britannic Empire was truly born. This happened officially two years after the successful Rites of Conquest of 693/10193 WF, when the seven monarchs, Kings Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, William, and Gawain and Queens Morgana and Guinevere are crowned, in the year 695/10195 WF, as Emperors and Empresses by the High Priest of Zeus in Londinium’s Grand Temple of the Pantheon.

## Britannic Empire Information

### Official Languages

* English
* French
* Spanish
* Portuguese
* Latin
* Gaelic
* Scots Gaelic
* Cornish
* Welsh

English and Latin are taught to everyone of all levels of society, while standard education protocols for the nobility adds French. The rest of the languages are entirely optional, though most citizens of the Empire will also learn the language that corresponds to the region they live in. So people living in Castile will usually learn Spanish, for example, while people living in Galicia will generally learn Portuguese. Before they went dormant, standard education protocols for the seven imperial houses was for the monarchs and their heirs to learn all of the empire's official languages in order to allow them to speak to their subjects in their native tongues.

### Major Religion and Gods

The primary religion in the Britannic Empire is the Greek Olympian Gods. Some might be surprised by this, as they might expect them to worship the Celtic deities, but none of the original migrants to the Wixen lands ever worshiped the Celtic deities. Even before they ever landed on the shores of the British Isles in the mundane world, the culture and religion of the Roman Empire was becoming the dominant culture and religion in the isles. After the Roman Empire pulled out of Britannia in 409 AD, the majority of the populace, feeling abandoned, decided to switch to the Greek Pantheon and it became the dominant religion of the isles. By the time Uther Pendragon became King of Camelot, the Celtic religion was very much in the minority which is why it was often referred to as the Old Religion.

#### The Flying Imperial Capital of Camelot

In the year 800 CE/10300 WF, the Imperial Council, tired of packing up and moving the court between the seven regional imperial capitals seven times a year, decided that they needed one main imperial capital for the entire Empire. Turning to the former capital of the old Kingdom of Camelot, which had in the years since the foundation of the Empire become a favorite summer retreat of the monarchs, they combined their powers and used an impressive bit of magic that had never been seen before in the Wixen world to lift the very land that the castle was built upon into the skies as the Flying City of Camelot.

This new grand imperial capital consisted of the ancient Citadel of Camelot erected centuries earlier in the mundane world by Cornelius Sigan, the surrounding Darkling Woods, and the Lake of Avalon on the main island. Additional flying islands dedicated to different purposes were also raised at the same time. A total of 35 islands were also raised, with 7 each dedicated to farming, forestry, mining, industry, and parks and recreation. Additionally, each of the Foremost Ancient Imperial and Royal Houses had their own private island, as did all of the Uttermost Ancient and Most Noble Houses to thank them for their years of loyal service to the Empire. Finally, there were also islands raised as nature preserves for various flying creatures, including but not limited to the Empire's nine native breeds of dragons: the High English Gold, Common Welsh Green, Hebridean Black, Scottish Thunderwing, Irish Thorntail, Portuguese Long-Snout, Catalonian Fireball, Aquitanian Spikeclaw, and Francien Flamewing.

All the Capital’s islands are anchored to one another so that they follow the main island as it’s the massive ward array on the bottom side of the main island, which always floats higher than the others, powered by the magic and blood of the Pendragon Seven, that holds the other islands up. The ward array features seven large, uncut gemstones surrounding a central stone, the Imperial Star of Camelot, which is the single largest rough uncut diamond that has ever or will ever be found in the entire history of the world, created and granted to the Britannic Empire by Hades himself. The Imperial Star serves as the center for the entire matrix and provides a power boost which not only allows the city to fly but also powers the Empire’s defense wards which are strong enough to stop several successive nuclear explosions and provides the power for the various portal sites which connect the magical world to the mundane world.

## Rulers

### Succession Law

The Britannic Empire has practiced male-preference primogeniture for all imperial, royal, and nobility titles since the founding of the Empire in 695 CE/10195 WF.

### Imperial Dragon Form

As a gift from the Gods, all of the Wixen world's imperial families are granted an imperial dragon form, which allows the members of the imperial families to transform into a dragon, wyvern, or draconian. The reigning monarch can transform into a full-grown dragon at will. The first three people in the line of succession can turn into wyverns. All other blood members of the imperial family who are within 2 degrees of descent from the reigning monarch (child or grandchild) can turn into a draconian (a human-dragon hybrid). The Britannic Empire is unique among the other Wixen Empires in having seven different imperial dragon forms, along with a disputed eighth form.

1. House Chastain = Aquitanian Spikeclaw
2. House De Maris = Portuguese Long-Snout
3. House Du Lac = Catalonian Fireball
4. House Emrys = Irish Thorntail
5. House Le Fey = Francien Flamewing
6. House MacCallum = Hebridean Black
7. House Pendragon = High English Gold

The disputed eighth imperial dragon form of the Britannic Empire is the Britannic Imperial Stormcrown. This dragon is believed by most to be nothing more than a mythological creature that has never existed. While there are records of sightings, they're all more than a thousand years old and modern wixen archivists dismiss these records as nothing but fanciful tall tails. The Stormcrown is supposed to be a black and gold dragon that combines the physical characteristics of all seven of the Empire's other imperial dragon forms into one gigantic seven-headed dragon so large and fearsome that one look at it would make a Ukrainian Ironbelly or Hungarian Horntail shit itself in fear. A small minority insist that it must have existed because of the records of sightings and because the Empire's official sigil depicts a seven-headed black and gold dragon on a field of red.
