Governing System: From Empire to Federation

 The Avan Culture that is the focal point of the trilogy has passed several stages of governing. The first stage was when they were the warrior-people of the Seethe during the Petal Empire (more like semi-autonomous warrior-slaves who made sure that Peace was enforced). After Nasarat fa Dionwe, the later first Awakened Emperor (Mahj) sunk the high court of the Seethe with the help of the Founder and the other Seq scholars, the Avan raised an Empire of their own, named the Awakened Empire ruled by the terrifyingly powerful Awakened Emperors (Mahjs). The Awakened Empire of the Avan ruled over the southeastern Ia for approximately 1000 years till the Gathering of the Nomads during the Insurrection, which eventually led to the Fall of the Empire. The remaining six Great Houses(of the originally 15) formed the Federation in the last Territory that remained under the control of the Avan, named Shrian.
