The Threefold Sun emblem of the Sun Empire. Representing its three aspects: Creative (W), Sustaining (G) and Consuming (R)

The Sun Empire is a prosperous empire on the continent of Ixalan, which is located on the plane of the same name.[1]

The empire has a capital (Pachatupa) and a central power structure. The emperor resides in the Tocatli palace. The human warriors of the empire command and ride dinosaurs, and they are protected by the magic of their sun priests. Pachatupa and the other cities are built to accommodate the dinosaur riders, with high arches to allow their knights to pass through unobstructed.

The Sun Empire took the continent of Ixalan from the River Heralds, who lived there long before the humans. The empire still confronts the Heralds on its borders.

The Sun Empire has recently been besieged by pirate raids by the Brazen Coalition and the advance of the Legion of Dusk. Caught between the invaders from the sea and the wall of jungle behind them, the Sun Empire rises with the ferocity of a dinosaur and the righteous light of the radiant sun to fight off its enemies.

Culture

The people of the Sun Empire take great pride in their traditions and heritage. The title of warrior-poet is bestowed to only one person in a generation. They kept the stories and weaved events into words. To earn that title, one must demonstrate excellency in service to the kingdom.[2]

Trivia

The Sun Empire is loosely based on the Aztec culture.[1]
