Kehmsarazan Empire

The Kehmsarazan Empire is a faction in Umora. The people and places under its political, economic, and/or cultural control are generally referred to as "The Empire."

The Empire is at war with two other factions: the Dominion of Rhuv, the Protectorate of Galthmei. Imperial magic users are called 'wizards' and fall into two main groups: wizards of the Crown and wizards of the Citadel.

Geography
The Empire's geographical and/or cultural center seems to be located in an area called Kehmsaraza, which appears to include the Irulian Desert and the Citadel. A port called Carrow is also described as part of the Empire, but it is unclear if it's in the Kehmsaraza area or another location. The island of Akham is on the far edge of the Empire, across a body of water from Kehmsaraza.

The Imperium
The leadership and ruling family of the Empire, also called "the crown" or the "Saraz Imperium". They are distinct from the Citadel, with their own flag.

The emblem of the Saraz Imperium is a "geometric runic crown" surrounded by 5, 7, and 9-pointed shapes with a gold "S" on a blue background.

Wizards of the Crown (Guild Mages)
Wizards of the Imperial crown, also called Guild Mages, are distinct from the wizards of the Citadel.

Scepter's Chorus
A branch of the Wizards of the Crown who work directly for the family of the Imperium as magical engineers. Their work consists of large, practical projects of interest to the Crown, but not military in nature.

The crest of the Scepter's Chorus is a scepter emblazoned on a shield, surrounded by many identical small figures.

Named Guild Mages

 * Pain
 * Morrow, a member of the Scepter's Chorus?

Wizards of The Citadel
Wizards who work and train at the Citadel in the Irulian Desert. They appear to be both the Imperium's premier arcane researchers and magical special ops.

Wizards of the Citadel are split into different tracks or courses of study based on their work. At least three tracks are known: leadership, researcher, and war-wizard. Wizards in the leadership track appear to all use names beginning with "S", perhaps in homage to the name of the Imperial family.
