Celest of old was ruled by an Emperor, likely a hereditary position, along with a body called the Imperial Star Council. | Celest of old was ruled by an Emperor, likely a hereditary position, along with a body called the Imperial Star Council. | ||
===Imperial Protectorates=== | |||
[[Gaudiguch]], [[Hallifax]], and [[Magnagora]] were Imperial Protectorates but each maintained their own separate self-governmental bodies, religious establishments, and sometimes military forces. At the time of [[Project Cosmic Hope]], several other things seem apparent about this arrangement: | |||
*Protectorates could request imperial mediators to aid them when dealing with other nations. | |||
**When Hallifaxian companies ran afoul of the Dwarven Kingdom over mining rights in [[Angkrag]], Hallifax's Board of Governors sought imperial mediation due to the dispute's international nature. | |||
*The Empire may have lacked legal authority to force protectorates to comply with imperial projects. | |||
**[[Princess Marilynth]] traveled to each protectorate behalf of the Star Council to build support and obtain permission to use a protectorate's Nexus of Power for Project Cosmic Hope. | |||
**It isn't clear if this was the case throughout the Empire's history or resistance that developed after [[Project Soulforge]]. | |||
