First Empire
Deochs 20 - 23
Once the many early problems of Imperium were
settled the guild began to move forward in new directions.
Gradually
as Imperium members became more and more active in Mileth
politics they meet resistance, though many aislings during
this
time period regarded Imperium and its leaders as little
more then a joke.
At the heart of Mileth’s opposition to Imperium was
the long time judge Bridseye, who many regarded as incompetent
and corrupt. Eventually Bridseye was put on trial for his
actions against Mileth guard captain Angelgal. In a very
rare moment in Mileth history Omner, a demagogue, was chosen
to preside over the trial. Even though Bridseye was found
guilty Omner showed his true colors by saying the sentence
(political barment) by the jury was to harsh and effectively
Bridseye got off with a slap on the wrist.
As a result of these problems Imperium began to favor
a bold vision of the future in which it would preside over
new system
based
on
progressive
and
reformist
ideas. Ramanayan promised to trade honesty for corruption,
frality for strength, and chaos for order. The First Empire
had begun as the guild was reformed along imperialistic lines.
While Imperium concentrated on reforming Mileth a long
running internal conflict between Prime Minister Heiler Arwan
and Topkyle finally ended with Heiler leaving the guild and
Topkyle
assuming his place as Prime Minister.
