Structure

Emperor/Empress

The Lon Empire's ruler was formally designated as "Emperor" or "Empress." This individual ruled with absolute power afforded by the divine right known as the "will of Maca", derived from the primordial goddess purportedly responsible for the continent's existence. While they were recorded to have possessed advisors and subordinates, the Emperor or Empress ultimately held complete control over the government and military's functions. A word or declaration allowed them to enact their desires through the various assets of the Lon Empire.

Public Agenda

The Promise of Eternal Sun

Approximately 3000 BR, the first Emperor of the Lon Empire, Rax Lon, made a declaration of conquest over the entire then unnamed continent. This declaration became known as the "Promise of Eternal Sun" as many people believed that the continent spanned the entirety of the world. During his reign, Emperor Rax Lon dedicated his empire's resources to war, rapidly annexing the surrounding territories around Lon's strongholds on the southern continent. By the end of his reign in 2918 BR, the Lon Empire spanned almost the entirety of the continent, blocked only in the north by tribal resistance. However, Emperor Rax Lon's successors carried on his ambition. When the Lon held the entire continent under its control, which occurred by 2781 BR, the imperial government turned its focus to maintaining control over the maintaining the massive empire. As a united entity, the Lon declared its territories the lands of Macai—named after the primordial goddess. The Lon's dominance over the entire continent lasted for one thousand years.
