| - The Old Empire was the name of the Space country who's name is lost to history that was based on planet Earth and all of the colonies withing about 100 light year radius but had exploration though out the local Quadrant or Sub Galactic sector which ever the case may be.
- What is known is that humankind, having evolved on Earth, eventually gained the technological ability to travel faster than light (albeit at a much slower rate than later spacefold-capable craft). Humanity then expanded out to inhabit many other worlds, and explore an even greater number. During the long period of exploration and expansion humanity was governed by an imperial government under which the inhabited planets affiliated together; this Empire lasted for millennia but grew increasingly spiritually stagnant and dependent on technology.
- The Old Empire is an ancient empire that once ruled much of the Eastern Lands, including Tai-tastigon. Given that they built Tai-tastigon, and their capital was Tai-than, the Old Empire presumably founded all the Tai cities.
- The Old Empire refers to a vast, now-lost realm controlled at one time by the Inquisition, but which has since fallen to the mercy of the titans. It has also become referred to as the Lost Realm since the Inquisition's flight south.

- The Old Empire is an ancient empire that once ruled much of the Eastern Lands, including Tai-tastigon. Given that they built Tai-tastigon, and their capital was Tai-than, the Old Empire presumably founded all the Tai cities.
- The Old Empire refers to a vast, now-lost realm controlled at one time by the Inquisition, but which has since fallen to the mercy of the titans. It has also become referred to as the Lost Realm since the Inquisition's flight south. Information about the Old Empire is little, although it is known it was once ruled by the King. As of the beginning of Risen, the Inquisition is already in the midst of a long war against the titans, a war it is losing. At the southern tip of the continent (in the region of Caldera) is the Crystal Fortress; as of Risen 2: Dark Waters, this is the Inquisition's last stronghold in the Lost Realm, and its capital. From certain places in the city, one can look to the north and see fires constantly burning. Whether these fires have always existed (and thus gave name to the region) or are a result of battles against the titans is unclear. It is possible this region was recently renamed to Caldera. Most of the Old Empire's population has been relocated to various settlements south of the old continent, such as Puerto Sacarico and Puerto Isabella. The Inquisition has even established a small base on Fog Island in spite of its dangers. By the time of Risen 3: Titan Lords, the Inquisition's control has weakened. The fate of Governor Di Fuego and Commandant Sebastiano is an example of how the influence of the Shadows — particularly via the Shadow Lords — has resulted in fear, doubt, and even infighting. It is unclear whether the Lost Realm contains any Inquisition anymore. Given that Commandant Carlos was overseeing the defense of the Crystal Fortress in Risen 2 but is located on Fog Island in Risen 3, it seems unlikely any control remains over the Old Empire.
