Greetings! I'm glad you've found your way to our applications section; I'm a representative of the Labourer’s Council of Wysteria, representing your Ministry for Applications and Settlement.
By your informed approach I’m guessing you’ve seen these already, but as a matter of course I'll point you in the direction of our FAQ:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=192. If you haven't seen it already, it offers a good introduction to the basic principles and traditions of the Mercurian Empire. You may also want to check out our Applicant Introduction, where I go in-depth on the application process:

You might also like to check out some of our highlights as a community here:

Now, on to your application!
I must say that I enjoy the tone of your lore here so far. We have heard tell of a great many realms far beyond the borders of the known Empire, and your birthplace, as a kingdom that would presumably have had trade relations with others, is intriguing; what was its name? I also find myself immediately interested in these Knights Historia; the quest to compile an accurate history and to safeguard free access to that over generations is one that the Mercurian Empire holds as a task of supreme importance.
Your tale of failed rebellion is a sad one, though not unknown to us here in Hermertia where regime change occurs in myriad complex and sometimes violent ways. Many of our realms are led by a noble or monarch whose position is determined through a hereditary system, while other realms turn to appointed sucessors; my native Wysteria is currently undergoing the Empire’s first election for the stewardship of the realm as we seek to elect a new Minister in a process fraught with political back-and-forth. Alas, not all transitions or sways in power are without violence – even today, the noble land of Pyrencia is embroiled in civil war between competing bloodlines and the realm of Laghima faces international condemnation for attempts to suppress perceived ethic elvish terrorist actions inside its borders.
In short: I like it! I look forward to hearing a bit more about what would be your path forward in the Empire: where would you go, what would you do; what would you strive towards? With justa bit more perspective on what you’d see as the future of your character in the Empire, I am confident you’ll be receiving a vote in support.
Finally, I would appreciate it if you could provide some answers to a couple questions I typically ask of new applicants:
-Are you particular to building in certain biomes?
-If you ran into conflict where you and another player wanted to build in the same location, how would you resolve the issue?
I'll leave these thoughts with you good sir! Over the next bit you should see some more of the community respond to your application; many will no doubt have questions of their own. Again, I'll refer you to our discussion of the application process (
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58) for the run-down of what you can expect next. While you're waiting, I absolutely encourage you to take a look around the forums at the many different aspects of life in Hermertia, and to shoot me a pm or reply here with any questions you might have.
Until then, I'll leave off with an introduction to the Imperial motto since time immemorial:
For Glory!
