Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

A, we already have subjugated two kingdoms in addition to the one we had, seems like it'd be a more accurate title anyway.

Besides, what's so arrogant about improving the mechanisms of centralizing one's power? It's efficient is what it is. Can't blame us for having such lovely tracts of land.

EDIT:

[...] the Emperors of Yoean Dynasty, [...]

Why can't it be the Duede (Duedean?) Dynasty, I so deeply want it to be the Duede Dynasty.

My god, it finally happened...

This would be declaring ourselves the equal of Gubta and Damdamia, or at least ready to rumble?

A I'll get started on the acceptance speech . . .

There are so many people to thank. Haspen, of course. The first Yoe who began the work of making Methiant great, and my father Yoe II, and I couldn't have come this far without the support of my charming wife Esta. I maybe could even thank Luath: even if he was filthy traitor on the end, at least he procured a sorceress' blessing of health for the dynasty. Wait, stop playing the music, there's more. Stop, I say, in the _{name of the Emperor . . .}

[Haspen]

You consent to the decision of the council, and everyone pledges their undying support of your decision. Thus, the process of creating an Empire begins! Some part of the Treasury will be spent on this, but oh well, you didn't think this would be done cheaply, right? But more on them soon.

Right?

1st Mid-Spring, 1135 AD

Establishment of the Empire of Methiant

Your old Kingly robes are taken away from you, and you see them for the last time. A royal cloak of purpure velvet, trimmed with ermine fur, is laid upon your shoulders. You hold the Coronation Staff as your wife takes off your Kingly crown. Meanwhile, the royal artificers pass the Advisor a new crown, one with red dome over the golden and bejewelled circle that will now cover your head. You then take into your other hand The Wolf-Fang, and pose, supporting self on the sword and the staff, allowing your peoples to gawk and stare at you in awe and adoration.

You are now the Emperor; you're above Kings, you're above Judges, you're above Archpriests. Three pillars of a nation embodied in one person.

You are Emperor Cyl I of Methiant, King of Ceodwell and Felonsein, Overlord of Donuth and Tiftit Hurthlings!

You feel the urge to say...

A) I am the State!
B) We are the Emperor!
C) Long Live the Empire!

Royal artificers and heraldry meisters were working hard on a new Coat of Arms that would best represent the mighty and glorious Empire of Methiant, and two concepts got to the top, yet there is still division amongst the workers. You look over the coats, and decide to declare that the blazon of the Coat of Arms of the Methiant Empire will be...

Spoiler: A) Quarterly, I and IV vert, a stag or (for Methiant), II and III or, an eagle vert crowned sanguine (for the Yoean Dynasty) (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: B) Party per fess, argent and vert, a royal crown or in middle chief (Sign of Imperial Authority), and a stag or in nombril (For Methiant) (click to show/hide)

There are also various ideas about moving the capital of the new Empire somewhere else. This will take money and time, but architects are already out-doing one another with ideas for a new palace!

A) Why move if it's cozy here? Just make our current palace at Methe glorious and that's all we need!
B) The new capital will be Luathbas, the largest of cities in all Methiant.
C) The new capital will be Tech, currently the most central-located of cities in all Methiant.

Also, to commemorate the establishment of the Empire, you should commission something equally grandiose! You decide to commission...

A) A glorious statue of yourself, cast from purest orichalcum alloy. It shall be erected at the largest marketsquare of the capital city.
B) A magnificent arc of granite, gold and inlaid jewels, standing at the entrance to the central plaza of the capital city.
C) An enormous ceremonial keep of marble, crystal glass windows and gold tiles, where all important ceremonies will take place.

You also should declare a central 'motto' of the new Methiantese Empire, something your courtiers and your successors should make a priority. And that item shall be...

A) Protection of ... Faith!
*AA) Alldivine
*AB) Pantheonist
*AC) Singularist
B) Expansion of Methiantese Borders!
C) Establishment of Lasting Peace in the Region!
D) Prosperity of Methiantese Peoples!
