The Great Elden Empire stands as one of the most powerful factions in the Star Wilds, centered on the Elden homeworld of Etheos. Founded upon the divine principles of the Eldqueen, the empire serves as both a political and spiritual foundation for Elden society. At its highest levels, the empire is governed by High Prophets, chosen servants who commune directly with the Eldqueen and execute her divine will throughout the realm. While the empire promises peace, protection, and unity to its Elden citizens, it operates on a fundamental belief in Elden superiority. This doctrine, inherited from the Eldqueen herself, shapes every aspect of imperial policy and culture. The empire expands its influence through both diplomatic means and military conquest, spreading Elden ideals and authority across the Star Wilds. To its citizens, the Great Elden Empire represents the pinnacle of civilization, a beacon of order and cultural achievement. However, to outside observers, the empire's rigid hierarchy, superiority complex, and expansionist tendencies make it a formidable and often feared power in the Star Wilds. This duality - between internal beauty and external intimidation - defines the empire's place in the greater galactic community.
