Description
The Solari Empire is a theocracy and a ritualistic, authoritarian imperial state where the ruling figure, the Solari Emperor, holds near-absolute power. Below him are the five Heirs, the heads of the five royal families from which a new Emperor is traditionally chosen, along with a sixth one only recently brought back to the fold. The Emperor's authority is unquestioned and absolute, but the archaic and bureaucratic system of government makes it difficult for him to exert his rule unless directly in person. Otherwise, the Heirs rule in his name, dividing the huge empire between them.
