Capítulo 80: From Kingdom To Empire

Rische stood as a relatively youthful Empire, its age belied by the fact that less than a century ago, it had been formally recognized as a kingdom.

It was a mere eighty-five years past when the Middle Continent, an expanse of land that intricately linked two Empires and four Kingdoms, reached a pivotal consensus. This consensus birthed a novel religious cohesion—a devotion to a sole deity. This innovative faith aimed to quell the flames of religious discord, quench the fires of rebellion, and douse the embers of warfare. Its grand ambition was to weave all people together beneath a solitary conviction. This endeavor held the promise of fortifying the economy as the government's patronage of this single faith ensured a steady flow of taxes. These funds were artfully presented to the populace as sacred offerings to the divine, effectively establishing an unwavering financial bedrock.
