章 174: A steady Home
The empire's military structure was the next priority. Each region was assigned its own garrison, led by a General who reported directly to the dragon-Guardians. The dragon-Guardians, as the most powerful and revered figures in the military, oversaw the empire's overall defense strategy.
Under Lyrus' guidance, the military hierarchy was formalized. The newly promoted Generals led their forces with precision, while Captains ensured discipline at the ground level. The dragon-Guardians were stationed strategically across the empire, their presence alone serving as a deterrent to potential threats.
Lucidus organized the empire's logistical network, ensuring that weapons, supplies, and reinforcements were readily available. The servants under his command worked tirelessly to support the military's operations, their efficiency unmatched.
Justice was the cornerstone of Lyrus' vision for Amber Heavens. To uphold the law, he established a Court System led by Amber Adjudicators—judges trained in the principles of fairness and integrity. These adjudicators presided over disputes, ensuring that justice was swift and impartial.
The court system was divided into levels, with local courts handling minor disputes and higher courts addressing more significant cases. Citizens were granted the right to appeal, ensuring transparency and accountability.
"The strength of our empire lies in the trust of its people," Lyrus said during the unveiling of the court system. "Justice must never waver, for it is the foundation of unity."
To reward loyalty and encourage excellence, Lyrus formalized a system of nobles and families within the empire. Families that had shown exceptional dedication to the Amber Kingdom were granted noble titles. These titles came with privileges but also responsibilities—noble families were expected to protect their regions, support the empire's goals, and lead by example.
The noble hierarchy was carefully structured. At the top were the House of Dragons, representing the dragon-Guardians. Beneath them were the Houses of Guardians, followed by the Houses of Generals. Each noble house was granted land and resources, binding them to the empire's prosperity.
With the systems of governance, education, military, and justice in place, the Amber Kingdom officially adopted the title of Amber Heavens Empire. The name reflected its divine aspirations and the unity of its territories. Lyrus' vision had become a reality, and the empire stood as a beacon of strength, justice, and prosperity.
Lucidus, overseeing the implementation of these systems, reported to Lyrus regularly. "Master, the foundation is strong. The empire will not only endure but thrive."
Lyrus, standing at the balcony of the Sanctuary of Light, gazed at the horizon. "This is only the beginning, Lucidus. The Amber Heavens Empire will be a force for good in this world. Let those who watch us see what true unity looks like."
