Imperia is the oldest and one of the largest military guilds in the community. The original goal of Imperia was to create an Eden on Graal. and although it was never fully realized, many have argued it's come close. It is commonly considered to be the true progenitor for [[The State]]. Although until recently the brand of Imperia has been more or less retired in recent years, the name still remains second to only The State in terms of success, fame, and size. It, very much like the State, has taken many forms and many leaders in the many years since it was first formed in 2011. This page will act as a collection of the most well known eras of Imperia, Imperia's greatest successes, failures, and how paved it the way for the military community to grow into the massive behemoth it would eventually become.▼

== The First Imperia (~Q3 2011) ==▼
The very first era of Imperia came as a direct followup to the success of the first true military, [http://graalmilitary.wikia.com/wiki/The_Royal_Guard The Royal Guard]. It was lead by King [[Auel]] . As the Royal guilds began to grow to what was at the time unprecedented levels, Auel developed a newer vision for what it could become. He had an idea of a true kingdom, with a true army. His idea was an expansion and retooling of what already existed. The guilds Royal Army, Royal Guard, and Royal family would still exist, but a great deal more guilds would be added, under the title "Imperial" rather than "Royal". Many that had grown accustomed to the ways of the Royal guilds opposed this, they wanted things to stay the way they were. After all, they were experiencing good growth, constant activity, and had just had a legendary performance in the GST. Despite this slight opposition, the first Imperia was launched.▼
Many of the new guilds were lead by promising members of the Royal community that were not already leading a guild. The more well known ones included [[Xinke Han|Xinke,]] an up and coming knight who had quickly risen through the ranks due to his high potential; [[Zearos D. S'ahlesius|Zearos]] , the 2nd in command of the Royal Army; and Ryzallion one of the most skilled knights, who had been there from near the start of the Royal Guard. At the center of this new expansion, under only Auel, was Zaer. ▼

Almost every guild in Imperia was met with great success, while a select few struggled to find their footing.
There were enemies at the time, but none imposed a true threat. They mostly included people who were kicked from Imperia for one reason or another, and would band together to occasionally attack the throne room. They said their true goal was true destroy Auel and Imperia, which they clearly failed to do. The most prominent, which was still fairly small, was a "dark" version of Imperia, consisting of guilds such as "The Dark Royal Guard" or "The Dark Royal Family". None of their attacks on the throne room ever lasted long enough to have a significant impact, they did occasionally force the Imperians to retreat to the basement of the castle to reorganize for a few minutes before taking the throne room back.
While these attacks
Despite the success of this first Imperia, it eventually failed for a reason that would continue to plague militaries for many years afterwards. One day, without warning, Auel disappeared. He didn't log back online for nearly two weeks, and during that time, despite the best efforts of the remaining leadership, the guild activity sharply declined after a few days, and by the time Auel returned, the first era of Imperia had ended.
Line 18 ⟶ 37:
While Auel, and thus Imperia, did experience great growth and popularity, there was no shortage of enemies. People who were kicked out, felt like they were passed over for chances to get better ranks, or felt slighted for some other reason, there was a constant, but relatively minor, flow of people being angered at Auel or Imperia. For a long time, this didn't feel like a problem, and it wasn't until the third era of Imperia that it finally managed to come back around.

The 4th Era of Imperia combined a structure of the first two Imperian guilds. It saw the return of the Royal Family (under Auel), the Royal Army (under Xinke), and Royal Guard (under Zearos), as well as a a few Imperian guilds under Kentiman.
In the pre-launch stage of Imperia, officers gained intelligence of Harau's return to Graal, and he had been planning "something big". At the 'Deletion of Nexus' Event in early April of 2011, in which the entire Nexus building was publicly deleted and replaced by 'The Void' for a year by a player named "Higbey the Demon", a man under the name Zario messaged Occido and another Imperian officer, falsely claiming to be Troubadour, and speaking in rhymes, hinting at an impending attack. It was not long after Harau demanded to be admitted to Imperia and placed as 2nd in Command of the kingdom. Auel congregated his high council, and voted against admitting Harau.
Two days later, an Imperian soldier was ambushed by members of the Bacseyian Confederacy while walking through Belle (now Delta) Island. He quickly called in Imperian reinforcements, and the Imperians managed to fend off the Confederacy's soldiers. The Battle of Belle Island was not only the first true military battle, but it signified the launch of the first true war in [[The War of Paranoia]].

The plan was a smashing success, with the main infiltrator being none other than Zaer. Harau trusted Zaer more than Auel could have hoped, making him 2nd in command of the Confederacy. Zaer played the part beautifully, and single handedly ended the war when he set up an ambush on Harau by nearly the entire Imperian army.
While Imperia did win the war, there was a deeper impact

The 9th Era of Imperia also marked the final Auelian Imperia, which in structure was similar to many of those prior, but at this time many of the veteran officers, such as Zearos, Occido, and Senlok had started to resent Auel for his constant leaving weeks into a new guild causing the death of many guilds. A small handful of officers left to join Valikorlia, under [[James F. Zor|James]]. This is important because as to this point, there had been no other significant

Auel decided to lead an attack on Imperia over a personal dispute between Xinke and himself. As part of Auel’s plan, he asked Zaer to hand over the guild “The Kingdom of Imperia” to him and surrender in the name of Imperia if ever the battle turned on Imperia’s side. After 2 hours of intense battling and a growing Imperian counterattack, Zaer surrendered and Imperia crashed. Zaer quit the game of Graal shortly after this happened, not being able to deal with the guilt of his betrayal.

Four and a half years after the last true Imperian run, the military community had fallen in terms of quality. The community was dominated by Sarovia, with several smaller guilds rising up to fight them for a month before falling. Xinke, along with a newly appointed [[Magnus]], Richard, were troubled by this, and created plans for a new Imperia. This Imperia would launch as a series of crusade guilds, and after initial success, would transition into a full Kingdom of Imperia. Early in the planning stages, Zearos, Azrael, and [[Peter Rhodes|Peter]] joined the plans.
The guild had high initial success, gaining enough members to take the town of York from Sarovia on it's first day after the launch of its first guild, Ordo Magnus. Due to high activity, they soon added on Ordo Rhodos under
After a large surge of success following the transfer to a Kingdom, Imperia added a handful of new Ordos under it, mainly focusing on foreign markets, including the European based Ordo Lathos, lead by Thanatos, and the Filipino

Eventually, in July of 2019, the Imperians, at the time under Interim-Emperor Peter Rhodes, aided by the [[Aurea]]ns who had moved over from their home on West, launched a multi faceted attack on the [[Sarovia|New Sarovian Empire]]. Together, they seized all of Sarovia's territory over a period of 72 hours, defeating them in roughly 10 different battles in that span of time. This embarrassment quickly caused the Sarovian "Caesar", [[Constantine Vasa|Constantine]], and King, Martius, to issue their resignations and temporarily quit Graal. Brynwolf, the new king, issued a complete surrender to the attacking forces.
After the war, Imperia decided to generously split the conquered land with the other militaries, taking only York, Snowtown, Deadwood, and Destiny for themselves. Post-war the guild continued to get solid activity through the summer and held strong. The portions of land that were given to Aurea were taken by Sarovia when the Aureans returned to West.
The Imperians established a foothold into the Brazilian military community with the help of Hizack Magnus, who started the first Imperian Brazilian tag, The Kingdom of Niflheim, a viking themed military kingdom. Many other Brazilian leaders followed Hizack into Imperia such as Atiesh, Sparta, and
