In practice, the Empire is more of a psuedo-hivemind with all of the Terracotta being linked via magic with a the Imperial Regent acting as a focusing Nexus. Below the Regent is a network of Civil Servants who act as control nodes and subunit nexuses that help divide work load of the Regent. The entire government is set up to mimic a vast Imperial bureaucracy with individual departments, ministers and commanderies. All of the Terracotta are linked via a magical, gestalt network. The Regent goes through all of the information put into the network and decides upon a final course of action, dispersing the order through the network of Civil Servants and Commanders, down to the rest of the population.

An azure sky with a golden sun and a silver moon sat in the sky over a picturesque landscape of beautiful rolling hills and grassy fields. However it also seems inimical to organic life as there are no native animals and the original human inhabitants have all died off. [/hider][/quote] [quote][hider=History] The Terracotta Attendants can trace their history back before the Rits, when they were used in before the Calamity mostly as warriors and sentinels (not that any of the currently alive ones can actually remember what it was like pre-Rift). It was only after they and their creators had come through the Rifts that they began to expand into other roles. While originally created for war, their creators had no issue redesigning them to fit more civilian roles to augment a limited organic population. The Attendants are loyal to a fault and served their creators in their new plane of plenty for generations until a mysterious sickness spread across the land. Their creators began to drop dead of some plague, weakening them and causing their bodies to rot away into sludge. As inorganic beings, the Attendants were immune to the mysterious sickness but where still helpless as they watched their masters painfully die. They took over more and more of society in the hopes of letting their creators get enough rest to heal, but they never got better. But, they were told of the Calamity and how beyond the Rift there were other people, other people who might be able to heal them. The Rifts reopened too late. By the time it reopened, only one Creator remained: a young child kept in magical stasis to stop the spread of the disease that claimed all others. Now they search for a new master to serve, in the hopes of finding a cure for the last of their Creators.

Norse aesthetic, look almost post apoc due to their scrappy, scavenged gear. Have really cute slime blobs they take care of. Also muffalo and muffalumps? Slimes give plorts/resources and can also et the staff bodies since they're mostly made of flesh.[/hider][/quote][/indent] [indent][h3][u]Military Information[/u][/h3] [quote][hider=Magic and Tech] Magic and Tech [/hider][/quote] [quote][hider=Military] Garrison forces that specialize in defensive formations to protect against staff raids.
