Emperor Hanrith I
Emperor Hanrith , I
Emperor Hanrith I was the first Emperor of the Old Pale Empire. He declared himself Emperor on 14th Authon, 4542 BPC, following the surrender of the city of Tylisfort, to the combined forces of an alliance which by this time already consisted of all of the major cities in the east of Myruthea . In an astute and carefully prepared poltical move, Hanrith, a former general from Klaractazum, was able to announce the formation of the Empire with the overt and covert support of leaders of opinion and key military figures throughout the former alliance.
His capital was the central plains city of Zalgurim, a pragmatic choice in a location with good communications to all parts of the new Empire.
Hanrith offered powerful positions for his supporters within a new governing structure, headed by a body called the Ecclesia and his coup against the existing leaders within the member city states, was achieved with only some token resistance. Most were happy to be given roles inside the Ecclesia and those that did object were ruthlessly suppressed.
