Impestores
Ambitious Aristocratic Fanatic Oligarchics - Eccentric Stoics - Epipheria, Unlike Most Women, Took Up Arms
Tier 4
The northern third of the Empire is ruled by Lucon, who represents a long-standing oligarchic trend in imperial politics. It holds that strict adherence to imperial law is the best guarantee that the empire will not become a tyranny. Oligarchs like Lucon also tend to believe that only landowners can have the extensive education, experience in government, and stake in property to really understand and appreciate the law, and thus the Senate should be supreme.
Clan of the Northern Empire.

"Epipheria is a noblewoman of the Impestores, a clan noted for their fanatical loyalty to the aristocratic, oligarchic wing of the Senate and their personal eccentricities. Unlike most of the women of the oligarchs, who tend to be conservative, she trained as a warrior. At the outbreak of the civil war, she took some of her family's famed wealth to raise her own warband to fight the 'tyrant' Rhagaea and the 'upstart' Garios in the name of senatorial supremacy." <!-- Encurion's cousin --> name="{=vlpRh9ZB}Epipheria" id="Oligarchic" |
