Description
One of the two largest nations on Attovia. Boasting rich fertile land thanks to the deltas formed by many rivers running through Zyclester. The Zyclester Empire takes pride in its magic and technology being one of the most generally advanced nations in both.
Previously ruled by the recently deceased half-elf emperor Leduin Aearonian, the empire is kept safe from both internal and external threats via their judicial organization the Chain Keepers, and the threat of their powerful military.
Government
Society in the empire generally favors merit, ability, and societal value. The Emperor is no different, being selected by a table of judges during a rigorous series of tests. Every 5 years the current emperor is re-tested for legitimacy, if he fails, a test of selection is had the following year, while the table oversees the emperor’s duties and gathers entrants. If the average citizen seeks to speak to The Table they may put in a request for Parlance at the Zyclest University.
Military
Zyclest’s military hierarchy is part of the reason they were so dominant during the Magic War. They were and still are highly organized and prioritize discipline to the extreme. Turncoats, and those who go AWOL are punished severely even after centuries of peace. It is almost always a choice between execution or exile.
Generals
There are 5 generals who oversee the Zyclest Military, 6 if you count the head of military research and development who has provisional power to the level of a general in their area.
General First Class: Rihaan Zarei

Brigadier
Initially during their first year of the Magic War the brigadier position was simply the leading position of a regiment who’s size was highly variable. But when the Zyclester Empire began to grow during their conquest the position was upgraded in power to that of a sub-general that was most often put in charge of a geographical area of military activity that could encompass a number of regiments anywhere from 5 to 20.
Captain
Captains directly report to their Brigadier, and are in charge of a single regiment of a group of soldiers. A regiment’s size varies based on its makeup generally consisting of roughly 100 men, less if the regiment is built of cavalry, and more if common foot soldiers.
Founding Story
A collection of territories captured during The Magic War said to have been captured by the Crystal Guard and granted to the first Emperor and Table.
