Imperium - Province Profiles

Promontorium is the capital city of the Imperium. It's name is the Latin word for "peak" as it is situated on the top of a mountain in the practical center of the Imperium.
Promontorium has 139 citizens spread over four districts: Upper, Lower, Mines, and Subterranean.
The council building is located within Promontorium and houses the five reigning members of the Council.

Seaside Province is the center of commerce within the Imperium. It has the highest rate of immigration. It rests on the edge of the sea and has many imports from both the Archipelago Islands and nearby civilizations outside of the Imperium.

Paradise Valley is situated in a valley, hence the name, and has the highest variety of uncommon plant-life found anywhere within the Imperium. This makes it any ideal location for the School of Research, which is headed by the Archmage and is responsible for the bulk of scientific study within the Imperium.

Farthington contains the farming village which provides the majority of food to the empire. The Imperial dungeon is also located here. This serves two purposes. One, it is distant from the rest of the Imperium and would make escaping difficult for the prisoners. Two, it allows the prisoners to be put to work in the most labor-intensive province of the empire.

The Archipelago Islands are a tropical collection of islands without any great cohesive purpose. Each Island may have it's own cultural differences and general mood. These islands are not yet built so I don't really know much about them yet.

Note: Each province is a day's foot-journey from its nearest provincial neighbor.

Imperium - Intro

So, me and my roommate have this lego empire in our living room. It's pretty fun when we can find time to play with it. That's the difficult thing - finding time.

Anyway, you're probably wondering what I mean by "lego empire." A lego empire (which we've had many of in the past) is exactly what it sounds like. It is an empire made entirely out of legos except for the basic terrain. Tables and boxes serve as mountains and plateaus, bringing stability to a carpeted floor.

This particular empire is named the "Imperium." Not a particularly clever name, but it suits our purposes. It is composed of five provinces: Promontorium, Seaside Province, Archipelago Islands, Farthington, and Paradise Valley. Each of these provinces is unique in its own right, with the first two being the largest.

We don't have the entire Imperium constructed yet, but time will bring success. Currently, Promontorium is completely finished, Farthington is very close to being done, and Paradise Valley has terrain and human inhabitants but is still in the need of plant and animal life.
