The Empire (Imperial Standard: Birodalom) is the nation that is inhabited by the Dogs, and is controlled by the Seven Races. The Empire was established in the Unification Resolution that banded all of the twenty-six tribes that existed within the Empire together under one banner. The Empire originally existed as the Wolf Dominion until the Extinction of the Wolves. The Unification Resolution was proposed to as an end of the Veszpremic Wars, which covered the Invasion of the North and the Hoditok Civil War.
The Empire is divided into two notable distinctions, the Eight Kings and the subsequent Imperial Dominion. Under the Eight Kings, the Empire resembled a full monastic order with monastic traditions. The Eight Kings attempted to launch the Imperial Culture Reform which was an attempt at unifying all twenty-six different tribal orders into a singular culture. The failure of this reform began the Noble Revolution which created the political system that depowered the status of an emperor from a absolute to a constitutional monarchy that was primarily controlled by the nobility.
Religion
The Empire's official religion is primarily focused on the history of the Great Wolf and the Seven Apostles. Alongside the apostles are the Nineteen Disciples. The Great Wolf was a thousand year ruler of the Ancient Wolves, a kingdom of wolves that predated the Wolf Dominion and chronologically existed after the formation of The Zodiac. These Seven Apostles are considered to have taken three pilgrimages throughout the Empire: the Pilgrimage of the Snout, the Pilgrimage of the Tail, and the Pilgrimage of the Sword. Each of these Pilgrimages created over one hundred relics, some of which are stored in the Reliquary of Kossuth. The Seven Apostles then dispersed to create their own cities away from each other. From these Seven Apostles came followers from the minor tribes that created the Nineteen Disciples.
The Empire considers the Great Wolf to be the only true god, and that while the Seven Apostles themselves are demi-gods, Imperial religious foundation proscribes that the tradition surrounding the Seven Apostles are that they are messengers of the Great Wolf and paragons of the Facets of Life.
The Imperial religious authority is bound to the state almost as a branch equivalent to the judiciary Court of Imperials and the legislative Court of Polgarsag. The religious authority is Jelek Bírósága (Court of Omens).
