The Empire of Reimia (3)

1) The rise of Vagael Reim and why he lost to Orion
2) When was the largest influx of Enclessians and the Cult of Flame into the territory of Reim? In the case of the Nerissans, the conflict with Eos seemed to be the reason, during the Schism, but is this the case for the others?
3) The period between Verilian and Olivius Lapis -- who ruled, and what happened, besides the development of the economy and technology?

1. After the victory over Thiar, the remnants of the empire were left in ruins. The coalition forces did not want to rebuild them and left them as they were, deciding to preserve the borders in the form in which they were divided into regions during the existence of the unified empire. On the ruins of Akkerwald and Western Brightwind, various attempts to restore the government began, but all those who were weaker and more decent had no chance against the organized and unscrupulous scoundrels. These people put Vagael on the throne and made him emperor. He and his supporters were not interested in the interests of the country or its people and cared only about their own well-being. Of course, under such conditions, the state was weak and could not compete with the organization "Orion," which had grown over the years and was distinguished by a high level of discipline.

2. The Cult of Flame has existed in the territory of Reim for a very long time, as it originated in the empire. The largest number of followers of this cult appeared during the "Schism." The flourishing of the Enclessian faith in Reim is happening now after Eugen Reim repealed the laws adopted by his father.

3. The period between Verilian and Olivius was a time when the imperial family had limited powers, and the country was governed by the Imperial Council. As a result, none of the emperors of that time left their mark on history.

- I agree about the impressiveness, in this case it would be a plus, but not everyone can make the right impression, and certainly not on everyone, although over time this may change. And what about the dismissive attitude? Who are you referring to?

— The press. Those who mock the imperial family, even if not directly, should be executed so that others do not even think about repeating this. It is one thing to talk about it among friends and quite another to declare it to the whole country. If there is no respect for the emperor, then there will be no respect for his subjects. By insulting him, they insult us.
