Full nation name: The Empire Belonging to the Matriarch of the Batory Clan (usually referred to just as The Batory Empire, or The Empire of the Batorys)
Name of family: Batory
How do you pronounce the name? Ba-t(h)so-ree. Emphasis on first syllable.
Current monarch: Vereba Batory
Families coat of arms:
How did they come to power? The Empire's history can be divided into three periods. The First Empire, which ended around 2900 years ago, the Batory Queendom (after a short period of extreme contraction and multi-sided warfare), and the Second Empire, which is the current regime, beginning around 1500 years ago. While this may suggest that at some point the Batorys fell from power, this is not the case. At all points, the Batory clan maintained control over their original territory, but at the fall of the First Empire lost most of their additional holdings. A different branch of the clan rules now than during the First Empire. How they rose to power in the first place is unknown, as no records are (publicly) known to exist from the period in which the First Empire had its origins. However, scholars theorize that at one time, the Batorys were simply a local moroii clan, who realized that it would be much easier if they made a truce with the local non-moroii human population, blood for protection. After this point, it is further theorized that the lack of combat with their former prey enabled the Batorys to look outward, from which point expansion was constant, if slow, until the First Empire ended. The current ruling branch of the Batory Clan simply won out in the warfare that followed, ruling their territory as a Queendom until it grew large enough and powerful enough that in 575, it declared itself the Second Empire.
How long have they been in power? There are no records from the very early years of the First Empire. The oldest records publicly known to exist date from over five thousand years ago, and refer to the Empire as already having been in existence for quite some time. Estimates range from six thousand to nine or even ten thousand years.
Other important info: Since the Empire began simply as the Batory Clan's tribal holding, legally it has always been considered to be, to some degree, the property of the Empress (the Batory clan is matriarchal, and the Empress is simply their ruling female). Considering this, it's unsurprising that the Empress reserves absolute power over the domain, though quite a bit of local autonomy is allowed. The Batory clan are to a member devoutly pagan, taking Ithtyr (goddess of lust, vengeance, the earth, moroii, and death) as their patron deity.
