The once petty warring kings had now been killed and the Celestial Empire now ruled most of the world, with only the Kingdom of Kalak Doman still ruling as it's own nation, the former kingdoms have now been given to the major houses that helped the Celestial Emperor rise to his current, each house has been given one of the former kingdoms to rule as their own under dominance from the emperor himself.
But the power that they awarded these houses is too great with each other seeking mostly to benefit their own family rather than the empire in itself, with Kalak Doman increasing the army on their borders and odd sightings in The Shadow Lands and The Nightmare Lands, anything can happen.
This is a freeform fantasy strategy game like Enemy of Nations, what it differs from is that players won't play as kingdoms, they'll play as houses part of the empire and you'll have to play with a more political approach rather than going in guns blazing. There will be war of course, if a number of houses declare a civil war, if the Shadow or Nightmare Lands unexpected happens or if somehow, Kalak Doman declares war to to the Celestial Empire.
It's back!

Territories and Population:
Island of Noatun:
With only one major city, Noatun is probably the second least populated territory of the Celestial Empire at a population of only 382.246. The capital is Noatun .The island is fairly poor resource-wise with the few hills, forests and plains not offering much in the mineral sense, with wood, grain and fish being the main exports of the people. However, the people of Noatun boast the largest navy, larger even than the Emperor's own, of over 2000 warships. Their land forces however are lacking as their only permanent force is a militia of about 50.000 soldiers. The people of Noatun have once had their own culture, they now have however been almost completely assimilated as a territory by the Empire and talks have been had to incorporate it in Gnyr Shalorn, the capital territory of the emperor.
Royal Island of Gnyr Shalorn
The island of Gnyr Shalorn is the island in which the capital of the empire resides with the capital of the same name. All of the cities present on the islands have populations of over 150.000 people with the territory's population reaching at about 1.8 million. The island is rich with minerals from the mountains, with the farms present not being enough to provide for the whole population thus fish resulting as their main food resource. Most farming produces are currently being imported from the agriculturally rich territories of Sylvanyr and Noatun. The personal army of the Emperor is of 500.000 soldiers, some of them coming from other territories to join the army. They are among the best trained soldiers in the Empire, they have a fleet of 1800 ships being only seconded by Noatun's massive fleet. The people here revere the emperor as if he were a god and most of the culture here revolves around him and him alone.
Nastrond
The territory of Nastrond is a small territory, with rather reclusive people in it, people who hide their culture and such even to the Emperor himself. The largest city and capital of the territory is Kuturka. The population counts up to 932.000 people and an army of about 95.000 soldiers makes up the permanent army, their troops are however, probably the best trained some saying that they're even better than the Emperors own soldiers, their fleet is small with about 250 warships. Their main export are minerals and weapons. Their culture remains largely unknown with some hinting to a warrior culture over the territory, that has not been proven however.
Valgaard
Probably the territory most loving of the emperor besides the emperors own, this territory houses about 1.1 million people. Their capital is Reyksalar, their only major port city. They are friendly to everyone and are very welcoming of strangers even from their neighbouring kingdom of Kalak Doman and while their army of 150.000 is fairly large, they rarely use it with about three thirds of it being posted on the borders with Nastrond, their fleet consists of about 800 warships. Their exports and imports vary and are too many to count, they trade with every territory and are by far the richest territory of the Empire. Their culture has mixed with the imperial propaganda, however, the people however value peace and trade the most.
Sylvanyr
Probably the most populous territory of the empire, this territory prouds itself as the main exporter of agriculture to the empire, with them producing about 40% of the empire's agricultural products. They are very competitive with their rival Valgaard, but not in a militaristic sense, they strive to become the richest territory in the land. Their population is a staggering 2.6 million people that love their peaceful way of life and will always strive for peace no matter what. Their army is of 400.000 soldiers, however, they are very lax, resulting in a large but fairly untrained army, their fleet is formed of 850 warships. Their culture as their economic rival's consists of peace and trade, with them however, valuing the rains as blessings from their god.
Ashkanian
Home to the Shadow Guard, the warriors protecting the realm from the now almost mythical Shadowbringers, this territory prides itself in one of the best trained armies, competing with the emperor's own soldiers as the best that there are. Their capital is Delaram. Their population of 782.000 has to pass through mandatory one year training at the age of 14 in case of war with either the Shadowbringers or another house, resulting in the fact that more than two thirds of the population of the territory can be called to arms. Their main exports, as Nastrond is weaponry and minerals extracted from the mountains, however to a much greater degree than Nastrond. Their permanent army is of 120.000 soldiers. The Shadow Guards have also 10.000 soldiers, however they have vowed not to intervene in the politics of the Empire. Their culture is one of combat, honor and fighting for it's people and dying for them.
Argiallne
Beacuse it is sharing a border with Kalak Doman, this territory is heavily militarized and has more often than not been ruled by authoritarian rulers that cared for nothing else than having soldiers strong enough to repell a invasion. Their capital is .Their population is of about 482.421 and with mandatory conscription, their army is very strict as is most often the ruler of these people, however as Nastrond, these people are quite reclusive and would rather not welcome other people in their territories unless they have to. Their exports consist not only of minerals and weapons, but also of many valuable gems, their army consists of 110.000 soldiers.. Their culture is that of a warrior and warrior alone, they value fighting more than anything.
Tar Sequinus
Probably the largest territory of the Empire, this place has often been the place of revolts and riots by native people, making it quite poor thanks to the constant revolts. The population is of about 1.6 million people and in perpetual fighting with rebels and in minor skirmishes with their neighbour house, Wolastra. Their capital is Tarsequin. Their main exports are silk and a lot of agricultural produces, however their trade is hindered by the raids of rebels, bandits and Wolastra soldiers and ships. Their army consists of 380.000 soldiers embroiled in constant fighting. Their fleet is formed of 900 warships. Their culture was one of peace and trade as well, however, their culture has been lost in their constant fighting and people are wondering why their lords are even trying.
Wolastra
Rival of Tar Sequinus in every way possible, they have been at their "war" since they were incorporated first in the Empire. Wolastra is a very advanced region of the empire if not the most, however, they are the most distant to the emperor and dissent is often voiced even by the former lords of the territory and it is rumored that they are planning to join Kalak Doman in a war against the Empire. Their country rarely exports anything to the empire due to their dissent against them and have begun to cut off from the Empire itself triggering worried looks from the rest of the houses. Their capital is Arheimar and their population is of 1.3 million people. Their army consists of 350.000 soldiers and 950 warships. Now that their sudden hate towards hate for the empire of the has appeared, it is unknown what their culture consists of.
Mtol Darask
This massive territory is the largest of the empire, with them however having the third least population. They are very religious people and often trade with every territory of the Empire that they can. Their capital is Avat and unlike the rest of territories that are led by a lord, they are led by a Caliph and are by far the most autonomous region. Their population of 392.231 is spread thinly on their massive territory. Their main export are gold, silver and many other metals and gems. Their army consists of 80.000 troops devoted to the Caliph until the end as is the populace. Their culture often revolves around their religion. They want to take over the small fringe territory of Anqallyt north-west of their territory.
Anqallyt
The only things known about this region is their capital and their population of 291.415 people, they have been shut off from the rest of the Empire since their conquest making everything about them unknown.
Sha'an Tzien
This territory is a political and cultural copy of Gnyr Shalorn with them being led by a Small Emperor as well, however, influence from the west has shaken their view of the Small Emperor as both the political and religious leader of the nation. However, their faith in him has stayed and the population of 841.512 people always supports him. Their army consists of 120.000 soldiers loyal to him and him alone.
The Northen Cities
These cities are the most recent conquest of the emperor and have yet to be named. They have been spread into two territories yet they are still lead by their city leaders. their total population consists of about 641.151 people and a total army of 98.000 soldiers. Their cities are cultural hives as each city there has at least several cultures housing them.
But the power that they awarded these houses is too great with each other seeking mostly to benefit their own family rather than the empire in itself, with Kalak Doman increasing the army on their borders and odd sightings in The Shadow Lands and The Nightmare Lands, anything can happen.
This is a freeform fantasy strategy game like Enemy of Nations, what it differs from is that players won't play as kingdoms, they'll play as houses part of the empire and you'll have to play with a more political approach rather than going in guns blazing.
