The Gieon Empire emerged when anarchist communes, once divided and vulnerable to foreign conquest, allied with the fading Rennon Dynasty to resist French expansion. The anarchists provided fierce independence while the dynasty offered stability and legitimacy, creating a state that balanced freedom with central rule. Under Julian Rennon, this unlikely union forged a realm where rebels defend an emperor and an emperor rules in the name of rebels.

The Gieon Empire was born from contradiction, when chaos and order found common cause.

For years, the region was a patchwork of anarchist communes: fiercely independent, self-governed, and bound together only by their resistance to tyranny. When foreign powers, especially France, sought to expand, the anarchists realized disunity meant conquest.

They turned to the Rennon Dynasty, an old but fading house whose lineage carried legitimacy. Though many distrusted monarchs, the Rennons offered what the communes lacked: structure, stability, and a voice for diplomacy.

An alliance was struck. The communes kept their freedoms while rallying behind Julian Rennon as sovereign of a new state: the Gieon Empire.

United under this banner, the empire resisted France and its allies, forging a unique identity that balanced freedom with central rule.
