The Celestial Empire (Xian)

The Magnanimous Emperor Xian Zhin-Quo VII is unlike any other ruler on the face of Arridan, for He alone holds the Divine Mandate of the Jade-Emperor, through which flows the true authority to rule the realms of man. The Celestial Empire is a realm built on law and order, an overwhelming and all-encompassing structure known as 'the Celestial Bureaucracy' touches on all aspects of statehood, culture, religion, and legality. The Celestial Empire names itself after the Dynasty which is currently in power, making the current incarnation of the Celestial Empire a realm known as Xian, under the rule of the Magnanimous Emperors of the Xian Dynasty.
