Political event

1/1

This marks the start of the Old Empire. Before the Imperatoria people had lived as a loosely formed confederacy, whit the smaller tribes being ruled by a dominant family*. Said tribes had at times in the past fought one another as much as other civilizations. But this marked the end of that tribalism and put down the bases of the Empires laws and governance.


This first meeting of the Senate decide much that would later become the foundation of the Empire. Tho it did handle some minor disputes between the Great Houses, that are of little interest to us living today. They did set down how their empire was to be governed.   The senate was to be exclusively consisting of men from the Great Houses, that had shown their loyalty to the empire. Either by service to the legions, the imperial courts or a imperial university. All members of the senate would have to be elected to a post by the senate. So that if you had not impressed, or had bad contacts, you could not become a senator.   Besides the senate, that ruled the Empire and the city of Imperiatum, was the Imperator. He was a sort of first senator and high general. His role was in essence that of the chairman of the senate and highest military leader of the empire. A role that was given for life and was first given to Remus Remus.   *The Great Houses
