====The Swordsman's Arrival====

Some time after the events of [[Beyond Light]] and [[The Witch Queen]], both sides of the House of Emperors came under attack by the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)|Shadowkeepers]]. Though the Reformists and Vryzesk were able to ~~evade~~, the remaining Traditionalists were not so lucky and countless Fallen who remained loyal to their Kell were ~~masacered~~. Following a close encounter with Kirito and Asuna, [[Forum:Egroskyk, Emperor Archon|Egroskyk]] and [[Forum:Akildis, Baron Empress|Akildis]] were forced to evacuate the Imperial Citadel. Following their retreat, the Emperor Traditionalists abandoned the Colorado Badlands, with only ancient ruins remaining of their former Empire.

===The Void Within===

====Heralds of the Void====

However, her presence did not go unnoticed. Not too long after, Vrylzesk intercepted a mysterious signal coming from Earth's crust, horrified upon learning of the Sanctum Heralds' intention to control all universes with the Void. Positioning his Ketch in orbit above Earth, he alerted both the [[Vanguard]] and [[Forum:Eternal Brotherhood|Eternal Brotherhood]] about the Heralds and the location of the Wastes.

====Death Throes====

==Structure==

The Emperors maintain a similar structure to most Fallen houses, having a [[Kell]], an [[Archon]], and a [[Prime Servitor]]. However, in similar fashion to the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]], they also have a female second-in-command, referred to as the Baron Empress, or just Empress. Though not officially stated to be a [[Forum:Fallen Queen|Fallen Queen]], the holder of this position acts near identically. [[Servitor]]s in the Emperors are not seen as Gods or companions, but as tools, and are promptly programed as such.

Though not officially stated to be a [[Forum:Fallen Queen|Fallen Queen]], the holder of this position acts near identically. However, no new Empress has been crown since Akildis became Kell.

[[Servitor]]s in the Emperors are not seen as Gods or companions, but as tools, and are promptly programed as such. In the Reformists, however, this practice has mostly been abandoned, and Servitors are treated as loyal companions.

The Emperor's Chosen is a title held exclusively by the Emperors. Though the bearer of Emperor's Chosen is more honorary, a Chosen can often be seen as a head Enforcer or General in the House, answering only to the Kell himself.

Though the bearer of Emperor's Chosen is more honorary, a Chosen can often be seen as a head Enforcer or General in the House, answering only to the Kell himself. Syndri has been the only Emperor's Chosen, and following his death, no one else has held the title.

The Imperial Court, an Emperor exclusive group, consists of at least 12 veteran [[Baron|Barons]] close to the Emperor that carry out his will and judge the accused. Their [[Forum:Court Arbiters|Court Arbiters]] function similar to the [[Wolf Enforcer|Wolf Enforcers]], enforcing loyalty throughout the House and bringing in any criminals for trial.

Their [[Forum:Court Arbiters|Court Arbiters]] function similar to the [[Wolf Enforcer|Wolf Enforcers]], enforcing loyalty throughout the House and bringing in any criminals for trial. Following the Court's demise, two new ones were formed, one for Traditionalists, another for Loyalists, that both act very similarly.

The [[Forum:Emperor Splicers|Emperor Splicers]] function similarly to the [[Devil Splicers]], though due to a shortage of [[SIVA]], they do not venerate it as their predecessors, and also focus more on engineering other [[Fallen]] and [[Cabal]] technology. The [[Forum:Imperius Mecha|Imperius Mecha]] are a splinter group of the Splicers that focus on the Emperors' [[Shank|Shanks]], [[Fallen Walker|Walkers]], and other robotics. Both groups are lead by the [[Archon]].

Both groups are lead by the [[Archon]]. Despite most Traditionalists being wiped out in the Decrepit wastes, elements of the splicers and Mecha may remain with Egroskyk following his disappearance.

The [[Forum:Emperor's Guard|Emperor's Guard]] are elite variants of genetically modified [[Kell's Guard]]s that consist of the Emperor's strongest guardsman, many of them SIVA modified and brainwashed in similar fashion to the [[Wolves' Guard]]. They vehemently guard the Emperor's Kell and Citadel from any and all threats. The [[Forum:Emperor's Hand|Emperor's Hand]] is an elite sect of the Guard, consisting Atrykis's closest allies, most of which are former Lion members that served Atrykis during his attempted revolt.
