News of the Realm: Some things don't change

It is said that the people of Fastheld will still be known as "Imperials", regardless of the changes to the realm from that of Empire to Kingdom. The name is ancestral and speaks of a people, rather than a place, and - as such - is not governed by such changes in government.

Equally, the Imperial Cult shall also retain its name, for the name literally means "The Cult of the People" (of Fastheld), rather than the cult of the Imperial Government. It harkens back to the rise in "ancestor worship" that evolved independent from the Church of True Light and their teachings.

Finally, the Kahar Imperial will also retain its name; first for historical preservation, and secondly to avoid economical complications.
