Having emerged from the military conquest of three kingdoms, under the banner of the Arcturus dynasty four hundred and thirty years ago, the Empire has gradually expanded, quickly conquering most of the other human kingdoms on the eastern continent and establishing several colonies on the northern shores of the Southerlands.
Envisioned as a nation to unify all of humanity under its banner, the Empire's stated goal is to conquer the world. As a reflection of that, official documents refer to it as the "Empire of Thalesmere", but colloquially, it is simply known as the Empire, especially outside its borders, where other nations refuse to accept its claim to sovereignty over the entire world.
Within its borders, sprawling cities house laboratories which develop new technologies for its massive factories to mass produce and are connected by a truly massive infrastructure of roads and railways, which insure a constant supply of raw materials to fuel the Emperor's military ambitions. The imperial army is well equipped and well trained and focus is primarily placed on the Air Navy branch, which has hundreds of skyships at its disposal.
With its large population, thriving economy and advanced technology, the Empire is arguably the most powerful nation in Thalesmere, only rivaled by the Ahn Seidhe.
