The Sun Empire is a prosperous empire on the continent of Ixalan, which is located on the plane of the same name.[1]
Description
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.
History
Whereas the River Heralds - who lived there long before the humans - had once controlled the continent, under the leadership of its new emperor Apatzec Intli III, the Sun Empire had cemented its grip on the land.[2] The empire still confronts the Heralds on its borders. Apatzec was responsible not only for the new assertion of control, but also for the current mood of expansionism that had gripped the empire following his mother's death several years before.
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]
The Sun Empire worships the sun, which they believe to display three aspects. Temples to various aspects of the sun exist, but even places where so much as sunlight touches the ground are considered sacred.
Trivia
The Sun Empire is loosely based on the Aztec culture, with slight influences from the Inca.[1]
