Editing Scarlet Empress (section)

==History==
After the Primordial War, everything was ruled by the [[Solars]]. Except that the Solars went insane, so the [[Sidereals]] did a line of coke off the Loom of Fate and decided they should kill all the Solars and install the more stable (and easily-manipulated) [[Dragon-Blooded]] as rulers of Creation. This worked, more or less. The Terrestrials weren't as good at it as the Solars were, but by and large they also didn't have the Solars' tendency to be mind-staggeringly ''bad'' at it when the mood struck.

This was all well and good until the Deathlords decided to unleash a massive plague and wipe out 90% of life on Creation, including most of the ruling Dragon-Blooded. And then they told the Fair Folk to go kill 90% of the remaining 10%, which pissed off the surviving [[Lunars]], who held off the fae long enough for the Dragon-Blooded to find some WMDs the Solars had left lying around. One of those Dragon-Blooded found the WMDs, bound them to her soul, blew the shit out of the fey, and crowned herself empress of all Creation on pain of Solar-built super nukes.

And thus, the Realm was founded, plus or minus a few places that either weren't important enough to conquer, or maybe had their ''own'' Solar superweapons.
