Irvagaleni Empire

The Irvagaleni Empire, or simply 'the Empire', is the largest single-species government in all of Spectra. Founded over 4,000 years ago on the Beta Plane, it is the longest-standing government to undergo no serious change to its identity or structure.

The Empire's society (and the Irvagaleni's as a whole) is a matriarchal one. Females are respected and revered as the heads of midians, family houses built on bloodlines and reputation. One does not need to be born into a midian to join it, but initiation requires a pledge of loyalty to serve the midian's interests.

The Empire is ruled by Midian Bo, and the Bo dynasty has lasted for over 900 years. The current ruler is Empress Cassana, but her daughter, Glyphonel, is expected to be coronated soon.

History
The Empire was first established 1,154 years before the Ascensions. The first to call themselves Empress was Protadux Yuna, an Irva who united the strongest midions into a single governing body to protect the rest. The Yuna dynasty lasted for over 400 years, eventually being supplanted by Midion Koto.

The Koto dynasty had the most popular line of Imperial rulers by far. Overthrowing Midion Yuna after many disastrous blunders by the Empress at the time, Altania Koto took power and began implementing changes to repair the damage that had been done.
