The Reylan Imperial Triumvirate (The RIT or the Imperium)was founded as the Reylan Empire on the 5th July 2005 by the current Emperor, Taeglan I Nihilus. Appointing ministers to deal with the day-to-day running of the Empire, things progressed rapidly. The Empire originally started as a Constitutional Monarchy, with the Emperor himself holding little power. Claiming several territories, the Emperor began a rigorous recruitment campaign for citizens.
