Provinces of the Lein Empire

This page discusses and lists the many Provinces of the Lein Empire.

Throughout its history the Lein Dynasty has received several territorial appellations. In its original form as founded by Tairazun Durun, the massive reshuffling of territories in order to better centralise administrative power ended up with the division known as the Twelve Provinces, and this definition of provincial borders would remain relatively constant throughout the first part of the Lein Dynasty.

The reign of Tairazun Sora, however, would bring about huge changes. As the Imperial armies marched northeast and northwest, bringing the group of powerful kingdoms that had threatened the Tranon for so long under the sway of the Empire, the Imperial Court accordingly made adjustments and imposed laws designed to increase its control over these potentially dangerous entities. Borders were placed disruptively, while travel was restricted, and in this way an additional nine provinces were formed, such that by the end of his reign in Lein 177 the Empire was known as the Twenty-one Provinces.
