Holy Empire of Denarr

The Holy Empire of Denarr, uniformly known simply as "The Empire" is a mostly-human nation favored by The Primal Divine and is a bastion of faith in Mengiron. The largest nation, The Empire is made up of bustling roads and trade networks that spread all through the land, from the capital city of New Denaria to The Holy Citadel.

The governing structure of The Empire is made up of an Emperor/Empress that is both the head of the church and state and has unlimited authority. Currently, there is no residing Emperor as some time in the early winter of 7825, Emperor Xinavius died in the Primal Tower under freak circumstances after occupying the throne for 62 years. Typically, under the Emperor, the High Justicars sit, often acting as governors for the large regions that make up the Holy Empire of Denarr. Most of the major towns and cities are made up of Justicars which act in a mayoral capacity.

The ruling class in The Empire is not by merit, but rather through a selection of The Chosen who are often given up early in their childhood to be trained in The Holy Citadel. The Emperor is similarly selected but identifiable by birth as the Heir Apparent though few know the identity of the Heir until power is ceded to them.

The army of the Empire is also managed by the High Justicars who act as generals in times of war. However, none hold more power in the Empire than that of The Legion of Eight who are trained as both masters in combat as well as politics. They serve in several capacities but are often seen as the hands of the Emperor.
