Aegion emerged as one of the earliest civilizations along the Sea of X with a series of kingdoms rising up around 1400 BC. These Kingdoms were slowly conquered by AD 12 and converted to XX Christianity in 1076 after the X Crusade. The Cult of Saint Agaithon emerged prominently in 1324 waging a war against the twin Northern Kingdoms of Savaldbar and Eberos, conquering both. The first God-Emperor, Vescalion I, ascended the throne in 1350 enforcing a theocratic cult around himself and decreeing himself as God’s anointed.

Government

Monarchy

Aegion is ruled by an absolute monarch known as the God Emperor. The position originated from the High Marshall of the Order of Saint Agaithon, who took his followers and lead a coup of the Kingdom of Valerion in 1350. The position exercises absolute power in all Aegenic controlled lands.

The Emperor is traditionally surrounded by a number of concubines with whom he may choose to father children who can be heirs through Agnatic succession. There is no traditional position of "Empress", though the Empress-Mother, the concubine that is mother to the current heir, traditionally fills the role. The Empress-Mother traditionally runs the harem and oversees the care of the children of the God-Emperor and their mothers. This has traditionally allowed the position to exercise enormous power

The Palace of Light is traditionally managed by Eunuchs, who serve as court officials
