World > Imperial Elite
< Imperial Elite >
An exclusive military group within
the Empire that is in charge of
the protection of the Imperial Family,
and the safety of the Capital.
The Elite is primarily made up of those
of Southern descent.
Originally, the hierarchy of the Empire
was completely based upon the assumed
divinity of the Emperor, who was said
to be a direct descendant of the Ancients.
During the early days, the Academy was
primarily made up of the Emperor's
relatives, who were divine by association,
and were often referred to as
the "Chosen Ones."
Although the Academy members of
the previous Empire had good relations
with the military forces of the people to
the South, some of the leading members
of the Academy, instilled with the pride
of being Chosen Ones, felt much
animosity towards the Southerners who
were slowly taking over all positions
within the Imperial government.
It was in Imperial Year 148 when this rift
within the government finally split open.
Military authorities within the Empire
passed a decree forbidding the practice of
Southern religious rites on Imperial soil.
The reasoning behind this drastic
measure was, as the supporters explained,
in order to "ensure that all faith and
loyalty be concentrated on His Majesty,
the Emperor."
In response to this, armed monks,
led by former eunuch officers from
the Southern Royal Family whisked
the Eighth Emperor away, and brought
him to a Southern church.
After a long night of negotiations,
a compromise was reached by the next
morning, and the problem was addressed.
However, this entire event caused two
factions to rise within the Empire:
the "Academy Faction" whose support
was completely with the Eighth Emperor,
and the "Prince Faction," primarily
made up of Southerners who supported
the Ninth-Emperor-to-be, who was
half-Southerner. Ever since this split
internal strife has slowly begun to
corrupt the Imperial government from
the inside out.
It was due to this that the Prince Faction
organized the Imperial Elite and stated
that Elite would be in charge of guarding
the Capital and the Emperor.
However, this overstepped the authority
of the Academy, who was unofficially
in charge of those duties previously.
Thus, the chasm between the two
factions continues to grow.
