Long ago, the Elven Empire tried to control more of Wildspace. They hoped to spread the faith of their gods across more lands to increase their power. The Lunari Union was created to fight back against the Empire. Long after the Empire's retreat into the Astral Sea, they faced off against the encroaching Gwyndalin Federation.
Though the Elven Empire's borders are mostly in the Astral Sea, they have many settlements under their control that are used to raise their children and bio-equipment, for nothing can age in the Astral Sea.
The Empire is a tyrannical theocracy ruled by an order of priests that claim to speak directly to their pantheon. In large-scale government operations, these High Priests act as advisors, war masters, soothsayers, and generals. Most settlements, big and small, have religious figures as the leaders or advisors to leaders.
The Holy Empire worships hundreds of Elven deities, ancient ancestors, and powerful beings known only to beings in Feyspace.
