The Imperium of Greater Xavax is a realm centered around the city of Xavax. The Xavax are a proud amalgam of myriad origins - diligent brood awash in the memories of sunken empires whose grandeur we dare echo.
History
Politics
The Ruling council is:
The Ruler, called the Xerarch, The Judge, called the Arbiter, The General, called the Strategos, and The Banker, called the Xenophon.
The realm is split into two duchies, the Duchy of Isadril, and the Duchy of Xavax.
The Duchy of Isadril consists of:
The Duchy of Xavax consists of:
Culture
Military
Diplomacy
Councils
Council of Lords:
Imperial High Command:
Xavax Diplomatic Council:
Laws
The laws of the Imperium of Greater Xavax are contained in the Codex of Laws.
The Arbiter
The Arbiter will administer justice according to proper noble decorum and laws of fealty. (C.1.5.1) Matters of importance to the Imperium will be tried directly by the Arbiter in a binding arbitration without privilege of appeal. In those cases only the Xerarch may break the arbitration.
Arbitration
Internal conflict within a fief, including insubordination and failure in military duties, will be judged by the liege-lord. When there is no common liege besides the Xerarch, these cases will be defaulted to arbitration. Similarly, cases may be appealed or escalated according to rules found within the codex. Any case may be dealt with via duel in lieu of arbitration. Arbitrations may demand a duel take place. Refusal of a duel shall be punishable according to a breach of decorum. A duellist may petition the Arbiter for a champion to take their place. Death of the champion will see them fined a wergild to a designated person as well as loss of their case. (C.1.5.5-8)
Duelling
Duelling is a respected art and a valid judgement of legal cases. It shall not be restricted in any sense. (C.2.3)
Notable Executions
Execution of Arrow and Krelian by Arbiter Torxanib Godric Tórrarin ka Habb
Execution of Stegman Hemmings by Arbiter Aramon Abjur
Edicts
Edicts are minor laws created by the Arbiter at the request of the Xerarch. Failure to abide by the Edicts may result in a fine at the decision of the Arbiter upon review of the evidence. Unlike the laws listed in the Codex, edicts may change at any time at the request of the Xerarch.
- The nobles in the lands of western Greater Xavax shall be referred to as rebels of Itorunt. Further west is the criminal horde around Semall. They are not realms.
- All sworn to Vix Tramora are forbidden passage in the Imperium and are to be reported and arrested.
- All squirrels caught holding any variety of nut, acorn, or drupe are to be killed, seared, and left as food for the owner of the property.
Rewards and Entitlements
Recognition of Deeds
Exceptional service by the Arbiter, Strategos, and Xenophon is rewarded by grant of a special title by the Xerarch that replaces their council position name. (OOC: These titles are generally phoenix related).
Roll Of Honor
For capture of the enemy city Ibladesh, Stratego Lionel Kinsey shall henceforth be known as Talon Lionel Kinsey.
Triumphus
Capture of notable enemy nobles are rewarded by a crown of laurel and a Triumphus in the capturer's honor by the Arbiter. Additional rewards and recognition may be granted by the Xerarch at their leisure, and such rewards will also be listed in the Fasti Triumphales below.

Xavax Songs and Poems
Here you will find the creations of Imperium nobles related to Xavax.
War Chant
Our swords are sharp
Our spears are long
Our arrows are swift
Our arms are strong
Brave is the heart that looks upon home
We will kill the bandits wherever they roam!
Oc Lu Pesh's Oath by Aramon Abjur
Perleone,
Perleone,
With Greater Xavax you wished to fight,
Where has your honor gone?
The Peasants of Pesh put your army to flight!
Perleone,
Perleone,
Cowards in both word and deed!
In the great forest before our scythes,
King Deklan's manhood wilted like a weed!
Perleone,
Perleone,
So says all of Oc Lu Pesh,
Come back again and instead of wheat,
it will be your soldiers we thresh!
War Song by an Anonymous Bard in Xavax Square
Our men are all marching out over the walls,
Away we ride now!
We're pointing our blades to the northern star.
For we're bound to Xavax-land!
[refrain]
Then away, boys, away,
Away we ride now,
So fare thee well, my jolie young girl,
We're bound to Xavax-land.
Say was you never down in Xavax-land?
Away we ride now!
It's there that the phoenix flys o'er gold sand!
For we're bound to Xavax-land!
[refrain]
It's pack up your donkeys an' get underway,
Away we ride now!
Them Vixers we're fighting will ruin our day.
But we're bound to Xavax-land!
[refrain]
We've bully good horses & bully good shoes,
Away we ride now!
A bully good Talon and a good Xerarch too.
And we're bound to Xavax-land!
[refrain]
Cheer up, Mary Ellen, and don't look so glum,
Away we ride now!
When I come back home you'll be drinking hot rum
And we're bound to Xavax-land!
So lift up your glasses and sing fare thee well
Away we ride now!
There's a bonny young lass there to love you so well
For we're bound to Xavax-land!
[refrain]
