Fiction:Arcano'Tel'Quessir Empire



The Arcano'Tel'Quessir Empire is a (5th level ranking) galactic empire in the Spore universe. It encompasses a wide collection of solar systems under the guidance of the Arcano'Tel'Quessir. These citizens of the empire are a fairylike species, who are considered to have the Shaman archetype. It is located on the Alpha Arm of the Quinaryl Galaxy. Its historic home system is located near to but just out of the galactic core and linked with it through a wormhole.

Etymology
In the species' native- and the empire's official language "Tel'Quessir" means "the people" while "Arcano" means "arcane". This makes "Arcano'Tel'Quessir" meining something like "the arcane peolple".

Mindset & Philosophy
Arcano'Tel'Quessir value life and nature, its sustainablility and universal hamony. These qualities making the really the Shaman archetype. They believe that the various cosmic energies are just as part of nature as physically manifesting the forces of nature and the elements. This they call the Arcane. So their custom is harnessing both the natural forces of a planet, sunlight and other cosmic energies, and in counterservice they try to optimise the flow and the transaction of these energies throughout all the galactic space they control, for the greater balance of things.

Their concept is that there is a certain web that incorporates any living thing, any energy and maintains all the transactons between them, and they are part of this web, just as everyone elese, and that they have to protect it and tend to it.

Government
The Arcano'Tel'Quessir Empire is a constitutional empire. The constitution is largely based on what their philosophy teaches and how those teachings affect the government the most optimal way; set up by the legislative bodies of the Imperial Council which consists of representatives of religious, economic, and armed forces organisations and the Imperial Assembly that consists of local representatives of colonies and systems and at times mind-linked individuals throughout the entire expanse of the empire.

Next to these, there is the partially ceremonial person of the Emperor or Empress, whose is first of all the embodiment of the Arcano'Tel'Quessir values and his or her authority is made up revising the decision makings of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Assembly, and is invested with full authority in states of emergency, ie. being at war, economical crysis, or if the empire is threathened by outside abuses of the webwork of natural balance, blacklashes as ecological catastrophes, etc. The Empress or Emperor is competent only to order the expansion of the empire, declaring war or alliance, terminating living things, creatures, planets and systems, as well as ordering to shape and terraform planets and transformation of celestal bodies and cosmic entities. The ruler's decision in these concernes is always answerable to a confidential circle of High Sun Mages, who are attuned with the webwork of energy and life in the extreme. The ruler used to be one of them however. Even if not, they learn the ways to become one. Not because the promise of long life and reign, but for the greater understanding of the place of things in this world. The current ruler is Her Imperial Fey Majesty Anar'Lethil Sunvolant, Empress Regnant of the Arcano'Tel'Quessir Empire.

The government in effect is basically triunine composed of legislative, executive and juridical branches accompanied with economic, religious, armed forces, and sun magi organisations. Hovwever the gowernment houshold is relatively small due to their shared subconscious.

Prehistoric Age
According to common belief the Arcano'Tel'Quessir species arrived to the galaxy in crystalline form and transformed in to a spore in the prehistoric oceans of the planet Arcanum in the Tel'Anar system. Common memories are very scant of these times. The species is believed to be unicellular with an emanation of out-of-this-world matter and electricity-like energy. These qualities made them supreme among the mindless creatures of the time. Once they reached the surface world of Arcanum, the species begun to grow limbs, wings and crystals, and manifested their social skills as well as developing natural talents that are now obvious.

Ancient Age
The Arcano'Tel'Quessir lived in tribes before they founded their first cities on Arcanum. Tribes are similar communities to their modern clan-system and noble houses. Aside of two tribal wars among species generally it can be assumed that the Arcano'Tel'Quessir tribes were friendly with each other. As the different cities and countries arose on the planet it was Selu'Anar, a religious city who acquired territories with great ease and converted other cities in to religious ones or left them to pursue their original goals and continue their purposes under the golden banner of Arlinaar. Later the empire used diplomatic means to peacefully annect other countries and cities by buying them up. Although Arlinaar was originally a religious empire when it reached global size and unified all nations under its golden banner, despite the majority of religious cities throughout the planet, in the end the the arcane people lingered between economic and religious prowess. This laid the fundaments of the attitude of the later galactic empire.

First Rysaar
The galactic Arcano'Tel'Quessir empire became an ambitious and territorial one in its first rysaar. A rysaar signs the rulership of a given emperor or empress. Arcano'Tel'Quessir used to measure great deals of time as numbering them after their galactic rulers. Allying the neighbouring empires was natural and expected. Hovewer Emperor Stacil'Ivae Starlight decided to expand the empire, so diplomatic envoys begun contacting the neighbouring sytems, offering trade routes. It became a fashion from that time on, that the empire begun to harvest the spices of its colonies and traded with that with the proficiency never seen before to fund the acquisition of the neighbouring solar systems. It happeend only once, that the empire needed to wage ware on another, and no one was very fond of that, most of all the enemy empire, for it faced utter removal from the galactic scene as the Arcno’Tel Quessir forcefully annexed them.

Second Rysaar
Empresss Anar'Cartil Sunrose continued the paecfully expansive policy of his predecessor. Her explorers discovered the four wormholes at the empire's edges and the artificiers enhanced spaceships to be able travel through them. The first one they tried led to the galactic core setor. From that time on the empire's prospect was to colonize the galactic centre, connecting their homeworld with it physically.

Third Rysaar
The Empire of Empereor Stacil'Rillis Starflame is renown of lifting intelligent races on nearby systems up and welcome them on the galactic field as well as giving intelligence to creatures on wild systems. Also the Third Rysaar saw the most terrafomations and alliances forged in the history of the empire.

Fourth Rysaar
Empress Anar’Lethil Sunvolant ascends to the throne with no less ambtion than taking the Alpha Arm of the galaxy under the contol of the Arcano’Tel’Quessir Empire. This is the current rysaar. ˙ ˙
