The Basics of the Western Continent – Empire

There can only be one overlord in the Western Continent! That is the Holy Erathian Empire, no matter how small it is, it is like a mantis arm as a chariot will be crushed by the conquest of the Empire, may the destiny of heaven finally return to the Condor—— the Marshal of the Empire, the Lord Protector of the Country, and the 'Locust Plague' Oliver Wallenstein

As the undisputed and only super-empire of Westlandi, the Condor Empire has stood in the western part of the world for four hundred years, and has long been regarded by most people as the co-masters of the West, whether it is the nine kingdoms under its rule or the city-states of the south coast, even the islanders of the Endless Ocean must be loyal to the White Tower, because they know that even the slightest disobedience to the will of the Emperor will invite endless anger from the Empire.

This time, as is customary, we have invited the legendary mage Ilminster and his friend Mr. Varro to give us a brief message about the Western overlord.

Ilminster: Friend, are you here or am I coming?

Varo: You know me, I've never had a good idea of this kind of monarchy

Ilminster: Then I'll do it, and the narration of the Empire is pretty much the same, with a little bit of information to add

Varro: I'm holding my watch, don't go forward a few more times and say a lot of things that delay our return to Faeron

Ilminster: Got it, got it. First of all, the coat of arms of the empire is a two-headed eagle that looks east and west, which is the family crest that the royal family has passed down for thousands of years before the southern army, and Erathia refers to a two-headed eagle in the Fidebauer language

Varrow: I strongly suspect that it was a genetic mutation or a modification of the dark arts

Ilminster: At the same time, the administrative system of the empire is a combination of absolute monarchy and feudal feudalism, the emperor can directly control the twenty-one provinces and can appoint officials, and at the same time for the surrounding nine kingdoms adopt a feudal system, each kingdom has a king or grand duke as a feudal guardian, although to be loyal to the empire, but it has independent sovereignty, the imperial family can only send envoys and garrisons to negotiate with the feudal monarch, can not directly interfere. Under the kingdom, there were also many sovereign states and independent knightly domains.

Varo: If you want to abolish the feudals, the empire can only create this kind of monster

ILMINSTER: Yes, after 400 years, the decaying machine of the Empire has begun to struggle, the nine kingdoms below have secretly disobeyed the Empire, the citizens of the southern city-states have rebelled against taxes, and the Nords in the northwest have also set off a frenzy of invasions. But the fatal blow to the empire was the rise of the northern Rhodok Republic, which not only reunited the north and south of Rhodok, which had been divided for two centuries, but also began to challenge the hegemony of Erathia with a new momentum, for which the empire had sent hundreds of thousands of troops into the war, but the bad situation was not alleviated in any way

Varo: No matter how you look at it, it looks like a dead country

Ilminster: We're just explainers, and it's not convenient to comment on this kind of thing, well, that's it for an overview and current situation of the empire, we'll ...... next time This time, it seems to have exceeded the time again......

Varrow: Oh, you're delaying our return again! I really don't want to drink the world's steamy bubble wine anymore!
