### 2.2.1: The Imperial Empire

The Imperial Empire is the oldest nation on Olympia, and is rich in tradition and history. The nobles of the Imperial Empire bear impressive titles ("The Baron of Casington Lake") and are identified by a confusingly complex system of heraldry. The noble houses of the Imperial Empire are closely tied to the Eight Churches, and younger sons of the noble houses often serve the Churches. Since the Eight Churches view magic as the evil legacy of Tor, the Imperial Empire has made it a holy mission to eliminate all use of magic from Olympia.

Nobles in the Imperial Empire may not learn any magic skills (e.g., [2800] Magic, [2900] Scrying, [3000] Gatecraft, [3100] Artifact Construction, [3200] Necromancy, or [3300] Advanced Sorcery).
