The Ilios Empire was different from the Theocracy of Shon. While there were some similarities, the empire was different in its culture. It was the south region of the continent, bordering the Yalveran Union and Janea.
Its cities were all built in the shape of a ring, with great walls protecting them. It was said that these walls were created by the emperor, who used unimaginable strength to erect them. However, no one knew for sure.
Ilios had another name that befitted it: Land of Strength. This empire was built solely on individual strength. Therefore, when Amelio appeared, it caused quite a stir because the man who defeated him was recognized and respected by the masses.
Men and women training daily to grow stronger were now admiring a criminal, so the empire had to make an example. Therefore, it announced that whoever had such thoughts or cooperated with Arthur Silvera would be executed. A series of public execution took place as a result.
