The Holy Orenian Empire, or simply Oren, (High Imperial: Sacrum Orenorum Imperium) is the largest and most powerful nation of humans or of any race upon the continent of Axios, and historically any past worlds as well. It was founded by the Exalted Godfrey, also known as Godfrey I, from whom the current Holy Orenian Emperor, John III, descends his claim. Its capital is the city of Johannesburg, and it adheres to the Church of the Canon as the state religion.
The language of the lands of the Holy Orenian Empire has always been Common, however High Imperial is often employed in official documents and among the bureaucracy and nobility, as well as in other parts of society with great Aeldinic influence. The current empire is in its fifth incarnation, known as the Fifth Empire to modern historians. The symbol of the Empire is the Horenic Dragon, with such motifs being employed in many of its standards and banners.
