Imperial Cult

Was one of the official religions of the Khagoan Empire alongside Khagoan Polytheism. It was based around the divinity and power of the Emperor, and his promotion of order among the chaos of the post-summer world. The cult taught that the Emperor was the God-like successor of the ruler of the Laaklunder Gods, Linkun.

The Emperors were the sons of Linkun, who ruled the mortal world for him. The Khagoans declared the deceased first Emperor Don Wabbash a God, to justify his successors autocratic rule following his overthrow of the Republic, declaring that Linkun had told them to restore order to the world and build an Empire that stretched from sea to shining sea.

Ceremonies of the Imperial cult took place at temples and monuments around the Empire. During them sacrifices would be made in front of images or statues of one of the Empires various rulers. It was very closely tied to the Imperial government, and its shrines and idols were often located in or near government buildings, like the palaces of provincial governors or garrisoned forts.
