Recently, Aquilegia's two allies, the twin empires of the north (the Ravian and Libero Empires) have declared war to ostensibly support their ally.

The successor of the original realm of Morek and originally called Xinhai, Morek Empire is a theocracy of Sanguis Astroism centered on Donghaiwei.

History

After the death of Grandmaster Deverka Cryfdwr, the founder of Morek, in the sixth year of Dwilight, the cultural gaps between the original Morek and the Dalian additions grew greater. Furthermore, growth was impeded by the large bureaucracy needed to keep together the largest realm on Dwilight.

Near the end of the seventh year, Duchess Anabellium West, in accord with the nobles of her duchy, seceded from Morek to found the realm of Xinhai.

The most important success of Xinhai was the victory against Aquilegia, Libero Empire and the Raivan Empire. The latter was completely conquered by Xinhai and this eventually lead to the expansion into the Aegir and Muspelheim Duchy. After the war, Xinhai was reformed as Morek Empire, to stress the multi-ducal structure of the realm and the heritage such realm bears to the original Morek

Government

Morek Empire is a theocracy of Sanguis Astroism, dedicated to the Bloodstars. The townsland of Caiyun, in the middle of Morekian lands is a region that is bequeathed to the Church to serve as a residence to the Light of the Austere Star.

The Grandmaster is the paramount permanent ruler of Xinhai and he has control over the secular affairs of the realm. The High Inquisitor is nominated by the Most Holy Prophet, who resides in Corsanctum, to safeguard the faith in Morek Empire. It is the most elevate position belonging both to church and realm. The Ordermarshall and the Coffermaster are elected positions. The Coffermaster must be an unlanded noble.

Armies

The fighting men of Morek Empire are organized into knightly orders and led by Order Marshals.

  • The Warders of the Temple - Sponsored by Duchess Anabellium West, it is a religious army composed of oath-bond nobles who serve at the will of the Holy Prophet when needed. It is currently in-active and will be reactivated should Sanguis Astroism ever come under attack
  • The Auspicious Order - Sponsored by Duchess Anabellium West, Duchess of Donghaiwei. It is the ducal army of Donghaiwei functions under the directive of its Marshal at the leisure of the Duke.

Foreign Relations

Morek Empire is currently at war against Thulsoma, in the attempt of extinguishing the heathen faith known as Hrēdmōnath and to avenge the execution of Sir Gilles Barak, one of Morek's nobles, by hand of the Mistress of Torture of Thulsoma.

Meanwhile, to the west, we enjoy peaceful relations with the ever neutral Corsanctum, which is the Holy State of Sanguis Astroism. We are allied to Astrum, currently the greatest of Sanguis Astroism's theocracies, dominating central-upper Dwilight, who provided us with valuable aid in the "Astromancy War", as named by Dean Ironsides. We have excellent commercial relations and thousands of bushels of food are sold to Astrum annually.

To our south, we are confederated with the realm of Aquilegia, which, after a long war and several rebellion, is now a part of our empire. We look forward to developing them and make such realm a power in its area. More south we have recently signed a peace treaty with Pian en Luries, which is currently involved in a civil war.
