Their original land was on the continent of Sørligste, with the ancient city of Eaksor, they departed from this land by order of the Emperor MW_Neoz.

Now the Empire is expanding its borders quickly, with the aim of unifying the Eoks plains, while securing its territory and hegemony.

Government
The Empire is led by the Emperor who holds absolute power over the state and run it from the Black Citadel, while the empire is fragmented in a multitude of Duchies. These dukes are made up of old Aristocratic families, high-ranking military or wealthy landowners and form an unofficial court which acts as a check and balance on the power of the Emperor. And an essential right they own is that their appointees act as governors, with full Imperial support, over the lands they own. They can therefore automatically create small empires. As the Empire grows, as the Empire dominance expands, these nobles are in a position to create viable, competing mini-empires.

Religion
The Akratians were always open to a multitude of religion and beliefs, but of the majority of the Akratians were confident in their beliefs of their protective god, this god is to Akratians is the god above all, the first and the only, the being of time. Some myth says that his incarnation still lived among them, watching over them and offering some chosen ones the ability to manipulate time.

But today te pursuit of wealth and the belief in science and industrial development have replaced most traditional forms of religion. Forms of meditation–stemming either from mysticism or martial arts–still exist, though they are not widely practiced. Frankly, the government of the United Empire prefers that it be worshipped, not some imperceptible deity. However the Empire still stand any form of religions or beliefs.

Culture
The Empire's society is oriented towards dominate other nations and expand its territory, while spreading its culture of martial might and patriotism. The reasoning is that, within a given continent of Rathnir, viable lands and available resources are limited. If the Empire doesn't seize them another nation will, thereby gaining the upper hand and putting the future of the Empire at risk.

But also the Akratians are a people with unparalleled determination to secure their future, while possesing a strong sense of duty, honor and loyalty towards, their friends and most importantly the Emperor.

Origins :
The Akratians are originating of a race which is foreign to Rathnir, the Magis. They had first settled on Sørligste, with the city of Eaksor. But the extreme conditions and the multiples casaulties caused by inter-dimensional travel, resulted in the separation of the different Magis groups. Legend says that the Akratians were the ones following the incarnation of their god too a better place, a promised land. Arriving thousand of years ago on the Eoks plains, they settled in a valley, where later will be standing the mighty Akratia.

From the first Akratians several groups scattered across the Eoks plains, forming several kingdoms, guilds, factions and even sects, all remaining faithfull in their traditions. So when Emperor Neoz imposed himself, he did not have much effort to unite parts of the Akratians.

The Emperor and Nobility :
The current emperor is MW_Neoz, and the unification of diverse Akratians kingdoms into the Empire as it is today can be attributed to his visionary, if brutal, leadership. Easily rallying the Akratian Kingdoms, Families and Factions but with more violence and blood the most reculant.

During this consolidation process, a number of powerful family groups have formed to support the Emperor project. Deeply rooted in the society of the Empire, they have for centuries, built economic and political power bases to the point where they could declare themselves as Arkos ( Dukes, Barons, and Counts ).
