[Kingdoms help] Empire of the Bright Star The Empire, often known as the strong arm of the east, is well-known for its penchant for conquest and enslavement. The Emperor, once a vigorous leader, is now better recognized for his lack of concern for the welfare of his people. Though he is not particularly cruel, much wickedness is done in the Emperor's name as he allows the empire be governed, for the most part, by the bloated, lazy, and inefficient bureaucratic class. As a result, Menegroth, one of the main cities, is rife with corruption. It is known that strong swordsmen and talented wizards are always welcome within the Empire, especially if their motives are not altogether righteous. See also: Menegroth
