Midgard Factions - Imperials

Old description

The Imperial position has a rigidity that the Families lack. They have as their major priority the preservation of Imperial holdings. Thus, an attack on the smallest outpost is as serious as an attack on the main Imperial Preserve. The Imperials feel that they must respond in this way because they are spread so thin that they could fall victim to numerous attacks if the "locals" did not know that massive force would be used to respond to the least provocation. After a few lessons, Imperial Forces have been left alone. While a portion of the Imperial Army has been withdrawn, the locals are not willing to capitalize on the rumor that the Emperor has told the Governor of Midgard that he can expect no additional forces from the Imperial Homeland. The Governor must rely on the remaining crack troops and must augment them with native auxiliaries (players) to maintain order.

The Imperial Forces are led by the Emperor, who after returning to power after an unsuccessful plot by the Imperial Senate, disbanded the Grand High Council. The Emperor has a detailed court which aids him in the execution of his duties. In addition, there is a rather detailed organization under the control of the Governor of Midgard who is directly responsible for maintaining order through much of Midgard. Every province has at least one garrison city in a key location. Every region has at least one Imperial Magistrate who observes the behavior of the natives and settles disputes.
