The Olivian Empire
Chapter1
The Olivian Empire,
a vast Imperial civilization dwelling right in the core of an ethereal
celestial body known as “Oliviath”. It houses the most Imperialistic
civilization in the Western Super Cluster, and renowned for their Top tier
fighting group, known as “The Celestial Knights”. There are no more than
sixteen Celestial Knights, and new ones are elected by the Empire each time one
of them perishes, leaves, or gets banished. Each Celestial Knight were to serve
for no more than 4 decades, no more, or less. After 4 decades, the Celestial
Knights would be reelected depending on how long each of the Knights had
served.
The Empire itself
was named after the planet, however the Olivian Empire doesn’t have any control
over all the planet, but most of it. The cities & countries that aren’t in
their control tend to be either taken over in due time, or obliterated if they
choose not to sign the treaty sent by the Emperor. Over the course of tens of
centuries, there has been continuous conflict between the Empire, and its
neighboring countries, and cities. The ones that would surrender to the Empire
after the realization that they can’t defend anymore, would be treated quite
not like dogs, but way worse than treating one’s waste. People from the
surrendered cities would mostly be sold as slaves to various Mayors, or
Underworld Lords around the planet. Keep in note, that the Empire only sold,
and traded goods, and other things between themselves, not anyone outside of
the regime.
The Olivian
Empire’s inter-planetary arch-nemesis had to be Arvidia. Arvidia wasn’t really
a powerful country, but it was home to one of the most advanced civilizations
on the planet, besides Fluoren. They were quite the prodigy,as they were very precocious
with learning things, and demonstrating surreptitious maneuvers of Celestial
Powers. They were very much knowledgeable about their own planet, and the
galaxy. However, they banned the education towards learning of those Celestial
Powers not long after they were infiltrated by The Olivian Empire; they had to
abscond from this procedure because if the Empire knew about any of this going
on in another city, then they’d not bother to completely obliterate the country
at full force. It seems ironical of Arvidia, but that’s what they’d best
thought of keeping their people safe, and the Olivian Empire never really
planned to cause that much catastrophe to Arvidia, because as tyrannical they
are, they liked keeping the best ones for last, rather than taking them out at
first sight. So, it means that Arvidia still needed to be precautious of the
Empire.
Fluoren, or
rather The Red Land wasn’t as fortunate as Arvidia was at this point, as Olivia
had already engendered a huge uproar in that country, by spreading fake
propaganda, and secret spies to infiltrate, therefore engendering a Civil War
there. In the eyes of the civilians, the enemy was the Fluoren regime, but in
reality, the Olivian Empire brainwashed the masses in that country, just so
that they can create more catastrophe there, and eventually have it under The
Olivian Empire’s control, or probably just have it as a remote area. The Civil War in Fluoren had only broken out
for 2 years now, and 25% of the country was already taken over by Imperial
Troops from The Olivian Empire.
The Emperors were blatantly never elected, as it was solely the family members that could sit on the throne; democracy didn’t exist at all in the Empire. In the royal family, the next heir to the throne would be selected by the reigning Emperor/Empress right after they came to throne, and could change the heir anytime they wished to; they didn’t have any dispute towards women inferiority, as they believed that it’s ridiculous to ridicule someone based on their sex. If an Emperor were to suddenly perish, then the Emperor’s Spouse, Parents, or Eldest Sibling alive would be able to select the next Emperor including themselves. However, there were certain regulations, and guidelines to sit on the throne, and if the heir opposed, or broke any of those, then he/she would be disqualified from sitting on the throne permanently. Some of the regulations, and guidelines are as follows:
1.
You
must abide by The Empire’s Honor Code, and must never compromise your family to
any oppressors.
2.
You
mustn’t ever open The Millennium Celestial Arc Library under any circumstances
to any adversary of the Empire; only the Celestial Knights, Ministers, and you
are to open its doors opening it to anyone else will cause a disrupt in the
bloodline, and in your ancestors’ wills.
3.
Do
not worship any deity, or swear oath, and loyalty to any other entity than your
own family.
4.
You
shall not venture to marry, or have a sexual relationship with any locale
person in the Empire; only people of the fortune class or above shall be
allowed.
5.
You
shall not take the blame for yourself for any mistakes of the Empire, its
citizens, or the military, as you’re the highest in power.
6.
Do
not listen to any other’s suggestions, or recommendations except your own
family, ministers, and Celestial Knights; only you yourself know what’s best to
do.
7.
You
shall not ever speak of the Time Tablets Of The Universe with anyone else
except your own Family, Ministers, and Celestial Knights, it should only remain
surreptitious, and a myth to everyone else.
It was rather
quite delicate, and abrasive for the family to abide by the laws their
ancestors had created in the past, but they had to go by them.
To
describe the Royal Family's appearance, they were not that tall, but at the same time, not
that short either. At average they’d be around one hundred and seventy nine
cenitmetres, or five foot, ten and a half inches tall, compared to the average
height of the Empire being about one hundred and ninety centimetres tall, or
six foot, three inches. The royal family all had partially golden & brown
hair, purple eyes, and insanely pale skin, as if the seven glorious stars
decided to merge with each other to create one whole new star. They all had a
mark implemented on their waists right after their births to signify that they
were of the Royal Olivian Family. They were required to lose their virginity
after they turned two to two and a half decades old, because they had the
belief that they would be blessed by The Seven Glorious Stars if they did as it
signified “Piercing Through The Stars To The Celestial Heavens” having a
meaning that if you pierce through the stars, you’ll surely be attained in your
duties as member of the Royal Family.
The Civilians of
The Capital Imperial City of the Olivian Empire were mostly the fortune class;
no one other than fortune class or above had the permission to dwell there, as
allowing others would seem very unholy to the Honor Code, and therefore make
the city very unholy. The fortune class blatantly despised anyone under their
class, they overall had rules similar to the Royal Family, but a bit tad
lenient. The class below the Fortune
class, “Middle Settlers” were only
allowed to trade from the gate of the Imperial City, no entrance was ever
allowed. They lived mostly in Shlook City, and Gugary Ihalgen; their cities
were quite peaceful, and didn’t have much of dispute as did the cities in the
poorer areas. Those two classes were as fortunate as they should be to have
such beautiful homes, access to features, and facilities; however, the people
of the Poorer Classes mostly either lived in half tainted villages, or towns
with barely ever having enough food supply for the people dwelling around
there. The poor would have often try to start riots near cities like West, and
Emerald City, but were prosecuted for it. The Royal Family could care less
about anyone in the class below Middle as they, and The Empire believed that it’s
only survival of the fittest that matters the most.
