Lein Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms

The Imperial Office for the Outer Kingdoms (Itrani: Sabo Nagusa Tatorimi ne-i-Taitere) is an agency formed during the reign of Tairazun Sora berAthain ne-i-Lein, to manage the Outer Kingdoms. As such it was responsible for liaison and coordination between the centre of Imperial power, and the respective Lein kings in the foreign lands, aiding them and obtaining tribute as necessary.

Background

The creation of the Office was necessitated by the massive expansion of the Lein Empire during the campaigns of Tairazun Sora, known as the Ordering of the World. The creation of so many kingdoms overseas, comprising a Tranon ruling class over native peoples, obviously made a coordinating agency necessary, and such an office was created in Sora 35. Originally under the aegis of the Lein Imperial Ministry for War, the office was soon seen as taking on major tasks too big for a Ministry; as a result, 3 years later, Sora decreed that the office be made an Ordained Office on par with the Ministries and the Palace Administration.
