Palamecian Empire

Palamecian Empire
Leader:	Emperor Mateus, Borghen	Role:	Total Domination
Average Alignment:	Forces of Ruin	Appable:	Yes
Group Members: Leon
The Empire of Palamecia is lead by 'The Emperor', and seeks to to take over the world. Things seem fairly simple on the forefront - however the methods are unbeknownst to many. When the Emperor sought to raise the Demons from hell, he was given a second visiting race he managed to control even then; these Heartless came from the depths of the world, and have since the shift of worlds become an obvious force in this kingdom's army. The Empire also owns Fynn at this very time, as it is in the controlling hands of Borghen - protected by these very same dark minions. The Kashuan airship remains in Palamecia now however - partially damaged thanks to the Wild Rose Rebellion.

History

Palamecia was once a kingdom before it became an empire. A previous king of Palamecia had once challenged the world to see who could reach his daughter on a high floor of his castle. Many men tried this challenge, but they all failed, until one man used a hot air balloon to reach her. The king was furious and attempted to seize him, but the man escaped into the skies with the king's daughter. The story is basically an adaptation of the traditional Rapunzel fairy tale.

Palamecia Military

There are many different groups within the military of Palamecia. Any manner of job can find their place here: foot soldiers, cavalry, mages, beast tamers, and spies to name but a few. The most important requirement to joining is an absolute loyalty to Palamecia and Emperor Mateus, as cowardice and treachery is not tolerated.

Military Rank Listing
	Operatives:	Knights:	Officers:	Elites:
	None	None	None	Leon

Operative: These are intelligence personnel, those who may or may not hold allegiance to Palamecia yet answer directly to Emperor Mateus. Characters interested in working alongside Palamecia because personal goals coincide, or perhaps wish to prove themselves into joining Palamecia instead of simply enlisting, would be classified here.

Knights: These are your rank-and-file, soldiers and enlisted personnel. They are normal people, but are utterly loyal to Palamecia and are the bulk of the military. All are trained with various weapons, armor, horsemanship, and sometimes even magic. Characters interested in joining Palamecia's military would usually start here.

Officers: Marked with red eyes and full dark armor, these are the upper echelon of the military. Though they still retain their memories and light remains in their hearts, their connection to the Darkness is very strong. All have proven their loyalty as Knights and were granted a dark gift along with their promotion. Characters will have to IC'ly work to reach this rank.

Elites: These are the lieutenants who answer solely to Emperor Mateus and command specific aspects of the military force. There is only one of these at this time, the Dark Knight Leon. It will be very rare for anyone to reach this level and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
