Greenmoon Dynasty: The Return of the Heir
Flavour Text"He returns at last.
It has been a while since the Empress Dowager Morwen Greenmoon was placed on the Imperial Throne by Chancellor Parallo Dorage. During her regency the Empire went through its recovery, by the direct leadership efforts of Chancellors Goldsmith and Jekkar. The previous oversaw the Empire's structural healing, the latter implemented Dakkru as the new religion, adding Her divine motivation to the Imperial Cause.
But the time for Chancellors is over. The rightful heir, Khado Threesouls Greenmoon, is once more among the Imperials. With him he brought renewed vigor and improved ideals. As soon as he arrived he changed the Empire's inner workings by reestablishing the Over Council, tuning Morwen's Decrees and finally granting his father's wish.
The Dark Empire now rises from the shadows, to stand tall and fulfill the Imperial Cause."Brief DescriptionAt the Dark Empire we roleplay a group of Yliakum denizens who wish to found their own nation, so they can fully pursue the blight that plagues their Goddess Dakkru. The Imperials are usually stern, quaint and very dedicated to their rituals, lore and family. Ambition is what gathers the heterogeneous, strong personalities and professions within. The ambition to satisfy personal goals, while advancing the Imperial Cause.
StructureThe Empire's structure is amongst the oldest and most well established. Despite the epoch, the Imperials organize themselves by profession and hierarchy, taking advantage of everyone's full potential.
Forces: The Imperials are organized into Forces, in accordance to the functions they perform:
- The Dawn Force: This Force is responsible for the Empire's social and civil duties. The Imperial Merchants, Scholars and Ambassadors are contained within and diligently work to keep the Empire's blood flowing.
"With dawn comes the day that allows us to work."
- The Dusk Force: The guardians of the Empire are all organized under the Dusk Force. Imperial Guards and Mages respond to their Overlord's command, in order to defend the Empire's integrity.
"With dusk comes the night that puts all to rest."
Hierarchy: The Dark Empire relies on hierarchic leadership which does not communicate between Forces. It has 4 main, self explanatory ranks that follow:
Imperial ->
Officer ->
Overseer ->
Overlord (1 Overlord per Force).
Aspirants are not considered Imperials and do not respond to a single Force, but to both. The Emperor is above both Forces.
Imperial Houses: The Imperial Houses are renowned families within the Empire to whom the command of the Forces, and soon the Guilds, belongs to. Current Houses: Greenmoon (Imperial Bloodline), Goldsmith (Dusk Force Warden).
The Council: Constituted by the Emperor, the two Overlords, the Shadowlord, the Archpriest and an elected Imperial, the Council works to solve the Empire's most pertinent issues: law and conduct breaking, Empire-wide modifications, diplomacy and Imperial Guild crediting are some of the issues most commonly debated.
Law: The Imperial Law is guided by common sense and precedent cases. The Council currently manages it.
Imperial Log & Decrees: These are documents which describe the Empire's current structure and diplomacy status, signed by the Emperor, or by an appointed Chancellor in case he is absent.
Join us!Now that you know the basics about the Empire, you should be able to tell if you want to be a part of the effort. We're looking for more members to allow this project to grow and turn into something even greater, so we can keep being an entertained and entertaining part of PlaneShift.
Keep in mind that the Empire follows Dakkru, so your character can't show that he's an atheist. Other religions (Talad, Xiosia, Laanx) are tolerated.Every joining member is expected to pass an "Aspiring" period. This means this character won't belong to the Empire until it proved its competence.
We assure you that it is worth it, even if you don't think a lemon is reward enough for you.
All contact should be done either through this thread, PM's or in-game.
