1st Mid-Spring, 1135 AD
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.

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.

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!

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.
