The Holy Empire of Sanbreque The Holy Empire of Sanbreque

In-game Description

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm, with the great city of Oriflamme as its capital. Sanbreque is the realm’s largest theocracy, and home to the Mothercrystal Drake’s Head. Under the rule of the holy emperor, the people of Sanbreque enjoy a life of plenty thanks to the crystal’s blessing, which they believe to be a gift from the goddess Greagor Herself.

Following the Annexation of Rosaria

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm, with the great city of Oriflamme as its capital. Political power in the empire technically resides with the five cardinals, but even they are bound to the whims of the holy emperor in those manners of state in which he takes interest. In the year 860, at Emperor Sylvester’s behest, the cardinals agreed upon a plan to “liberate” Rosaria from the marauding forces of the Iron Kingdom, after which the duchy had little choice but to bend the knee and become an imperial province.

Faith in the Goddess

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm, with the great city of Oriflamme as its capital. Sanbreque is the realm’s largest theocracy, and home to the Mothercrystal Drake’s Head. The empire is ruled by the holy emperor—the one true goddess made flesh, according to the Greagorian faith—who is served unquestioningly by the sworn knights of the blessed dragon, known more commonly as the dragoons.

After the Fall of Drake’s Head

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm. After suffering the ignominy of losing Drake’s Head to an audacious assault by the outlaw Cid in 873, the empire set its sights on the Mothercrystal of its nearest neighbor, the Crystalline Dominion. Sanbreque’s legions duly stormed the historically neutral territory, and installed the imperial capital at Twinside. This brazen act of conquest sent shockwaves across Valisthea, and heightened the already considerable tension between the empire and ai the Dhalmekian Republic.

Following Olivier’s Ascension

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm, with Twinside as its capital. Apparently not content with the upheaval caused by removing his court to the recently seized Crystalline Dominion, Sylvestre Lesage chose to compound the uncertainty by installing his second son, Olivier, as holy emperor while still a child.

A Son’s Betrayal

A nation occupying the northeastern reaches of the continent of Storm. After its administrative capital moved to Twinside in the neighboring Crystalline Dominion in the year 873, an insurgency led by Prince Dion Lesage upended the political and military order, spreading unrest and disruption across the land. This disruption was further worsened when Ultima unleashed Primogenesis, obliterating Twinside, and plunging the realm yet deeper into chaos.
