The Crimson Empire, simply known as the Empire, was one of the ten ancient factions of the Great Void, and it was ruled by the individual known as the Crimson Emperor. Much like its fellow ancestral factions, the Crimson Empire fell during the Second Great Conflict. An alliance formed by the Crimson Empire, the Black Patriarchate, and the Amber League, fought in the two Great Conflicts which came to devastate the Great Void during the first generation.
