The Emperium Galazius

The Emperium is a travelling force of skilled warriors and cunning strategists whom venture into the various realms of calradia and quickly settle as a force to be reckoned with. Our goal is always simple; to secure as much gold and power as possible during our stay in the realm at any cost. However, this does not mean we are blood thirsty and war-like. Our intentions are often at odds with factions who control fertile lands and profitable mines, but we do not tax the peasantry; only bandits. We are able to maintain our power through good relations with the commoners, and so we are able to maintain a flow of volunteer soldiers to protect our borders.

Our ranks are as follows;
King
Vizier
Overseer
Knight
Soldier
Guard
Peasant

Keep in mind that while the ranks follow a certain hierarchy most ranks represent specific duties rather than simple status within the faction.

A brief explanation of the ranks;

-The King's duty is to govern the faction to it's utmost efficiency. In order to ensure this crucial task is unhindered, disobedience is unforgivable and immediately punishable by death or exile.
-Immediately beneath the king are the Viziers. These men are the managers of the kingdom's affairs, be they economic, military or diplomatic. They represent the authority of the king and spend much time monitoring the flow of resources and soldiers throughout the empire.
-Overseers are the servants of the viziers; an uncommon position to hold but a rewarding one. Sometimes the Vizier's duties extend far from the capital walls and an overseer is needed to keep the operations flowing far from home.
-Knights are the soldiers of the empire who have proven their combat abilities to be nothing short of exceptional. These men receive prioritized funding from the castle's coffers in order to more quickly and effectively defend our operations, however the privilage is difficult to prove worthy to recieve.
-Soldiers are the shield-bearers and mass produced military drones of the empire. Soldiers will follow any orders to defend their land and aspire to knighthood in their spare time. Soldiers are often proving their worth in peacetime with miscellaneous tasks from Viziers.
-Guards are peasants making their way from peasantry to combat roles. They pay for their own equipment and are often assigned to dull tasks to prove their loyalty, but the reward for the demonstrations are often ten times worth the trouble.
-Peasants are any individuals who are in the faction but not familiar with the king and his subordinates. Serfs are automatically considered peasants as well as any "pubbers" who join the faction outside of the steam group.

All men of the empire are expected to demonstrate unbreakable loyalty to the King and to the Empire, and to respect the wishes of the King to bring peace to our lands by not taxing the poor or provoking the neighboring factions. Bandits are fair game for taxing, but one must never attempt to do so alone.
