Jazel Empire
The Jazel Empire is a sprawling coalition of semi-autonomous city-states bound together under the aegis of a central authority. Unlike traditional empires, it is defined more by its intricate web of alliances and shared infrastructure than by rigid territorial boundaries. The Empire’s strength lies in its diversity, with each city-state contributing its unique resources, culture, and magical expertise to the collective whole. This decentralized structure allows the Jazel Empire to thrive as a hub of trade, innovation, and cooperation, while maintaining a remarkable degree of local autonomy.
At the heart of the Empire stands the Imperial Capital, a meticulously designed circular city. Its central tower serves as both the seat of power and a symbol of unity, with radial districts extending outward to represent each city-state. This physical representation of the Empire’s interconnectedness is mirrored in its governance: a council of representatives from the city-states advises the ruling emperor, ensuring that decisions reflect the diverse interests of the realm.
The city-states of the Jazel Empire each align with a magical house, specializing in domains such as Wind, Verdancy, Light, and others. This alignment dictates not only their industries but also their societal structures and governance.
