The Blessed Isle is a continent at the very center of the Realm itself. Spanning approximately 2000 x 3000 miles,
At the center of creation, close to the Elemental Pole of Earth stands the capital city of the Realm. And deep within its great walls at its very heart, stands the Imperial Palace. Deep within the Palace stands the Imperial Manse which also controls the Defenses of the Realm. The Scarlet Dynasty has its center here, members jockeying for positions of authority and, now, the Scarlet Throne which the Scarlet Empress appears to have abandoned. Ever since the disappearance of the Scarlet Empress, a silent civil war has begun to brew as members from the Great Houses vie for the chance to call for a successor.
The Imperial Palace is actually a large complex of palaces and actually makes up almost one third of the total area of the Imperial City. It includes the Imperial Manse and has designated, areas or "wings," for the palaces of each of the Great Houses.
Thankfully, the rumors of civil war have remained rumors so far. If the Great Houses were to declare war upon each other, one can only imagine the terrible consequences of such an ordeal that the Realm's inhabitants would have to endure.
Of the Anathema, it is said that the presence of any in the Blessed Isle is unheard of. While those from the Scavenger lands would more likely believe the Anathema simply stalk the Blessed Isle in secret better than the Realm would want to believe, it does not take much intelligence to know that any of such in the very heart of the Realm would best stay unnoticed, lest they call down the wrath of a very Dragon upon themselves. One should never underestimate the power of over five hundred Terrestrial Exalted acting as one.
