Praetorate

The Praetorate is a class of military aristocracy within the Cabal Empire.

History
According to Emperor Calus, the Praetorate's strength was rooted in their control over the Cabal's Legions, which lacked citizenship within the Empire and were used to protect and enrich their Praetorate masters. Aedile Moli Imoli was once a dedicated soldier who served the Praetorate and was known as the "Colossus of Bru'unth"; Moli "drove the republicans into the sea" as the Praetorate's behest.

Calus viewed the Praetorate as corrupt and parasitic, and led a purge of them early on in his reign as Cabal Emperor, seizing the Praetorate's vast accumulated wealth for redistribution and giving the Legions the rights of citizens. Calus' purge was not thorough, however, and members and loyalists of the Praetorate survived and plotted their revenge over the following centuries. The Consul, a member of the Praetorate, influenced Ghaul into leading a successful coup against Calus. While the Praetorate hoped to regain its previous stature by using Ghaul as a puppet, Ghaul proved more strong-willed than they had predicted. Eventually, even the Praetorate learned to fear Ghaul and follow his decrees.
