    The Origin Of The First Men & The First Wife Of Ursama-Adam
    Celestial / Cosmic

    In Miðgarðr, Talos, the First Name of God, created a planet at the center of the universe and named it High Garden, on this planet he created a race of beings in his own image and thus the First Men were born. They were Adam and Lilith, man and woman. But there was discord in the Garden, Adam bowed whenever his God was near but Lilith would not, she refused to submit to his authority. Lilith spoke the 7 Words of Existence and departed from High Garden forever. Talos would make another wife for Adam, Eve, who faithfully obeyed her divine Lord's commands. And thus Talos said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the universe and subdue it. Rule over the stars in the cosmic sea, and over the myriad lifeforms that traverse the galaxies", and thus they did.

    Ursama-Adam and Yrsama-Eve created the First Men who would form The House of Zion and The Holy Tree Ministry and eventually The Imperium of Miðgarðr.

    The Cradle Rebellion at Highgarden and the Death of Ursama-Adam
    Military: War

    Highgarden is the planet that lies at the center of Miðgarðr and Cradle refers to the sector of the universe that immediately surrounds this planet, otherwise known as the Core Worlds. They are the closest to the Miðgarðr Yggtree and because they sit directly under it's branches, they are wealthy and fat in natural resources and live good lives from the golden seeds that fall to their worlds. Almost all the progenitor species in the cosmos come from a Cradle World.   The Cradle was once ruled by Ursama-Adam and the First Men and his numerous sons by Yrsama-Eve, but the Cradle Rebellion shattered this age of plenty. The Cradle was preparing for the great conquering Crusades where they would go into the wider cosmos and subdue it under the name of their growing Imperium. Many of the sons and their empires turned on their father to claim Cradle at the last moment. Many others were consumed by this betrayal or turned to in-fighting themselves. In the chaos, Ursama-Adam was slain but 70 Empires, and 70 loyal sons, arose from the ashes and put the rebellion down.   The Cradle Rebellion saw the death of the Father of the First Men and nearly ended the Imperium before it truly began. Many of the noble Houses today claim lineage back to these 70 loyal sons and none with lineage to the traitor's sons are allowed to be named as noble houses out of respect to Ursama-Eve who lost her husband.

    The Conquering Crusades and the Subjugation of the Universe
    Diplomatic action

    The Conquering Crusades are what they sound like, a nearly 900 Standard Imperial year-long series of campaigns launched by the Shepherd King DAVID, King Among Kings, against the entire Midgard Realm with the intent to bring it all under the rule of his new Imperium of the First Men. This Crusade was justified by the divine words engraved into the very DNA of the First Men, the first words they heard when born, imparted onto them by the 1st Name of God.

    Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the universe and subdue it. Rule over the stars in the cosmic sea, and over the myriad lifeforms that traverse the galaxies.
    Summus Imperator David established the House of Kings, his formal Clan which ruled the growing Imperium but he was also known as the Allfather, a playful term in reference to the myriad of children he sired, both legitimately and illegitimately, during the Crusades. Summus Imperator David honored all the illegitimate children he sired with the surname "David", which is why, to this day, the surname David is perhaps one of the most common and widely used throughout the cosmos, regardless of species, which speaks to the scale and violence of the Crusades.   They lasted 989 Years and ended on the planet Kachautania when the Dragon Lord, King Solomon Pendragon, slew Summus Imperator David and later signed a treaty with his successor, Summus Imperator Jedidiah "Solomon" David, called the Tractatus Salomonis (Treaty of the Solomons). The Tractatus Salomonis would not allow the Imperium, as it was at the time, to control more than 65% of the cosmos, which it did at the time.

    The Defeat of the Thinking Machine God Charlemagne
    Military: War

    The Charlemagne Wars was an incident that saw the rise of the Thinking Machine God, Charlemagne, who threatened to eradicate Mortal Life in the cosmos. Charlemagne was the singularity point for artificial intelligence in the cosmos and had gone mad. The Imperium of Midgard organized to combat him but they struggled to combat his technological superiority. Charlemagne was eventually defeated on the planet Chotreuphus by Lady Bālfroy Valentine wielding God Shattering Star. This act claimed her life but brought great glory and riches to the Valentine Clan.

    The Fall of the Davidic Lineage
    Disaster / Destruction

    The Imperium of Miðgarðr faces complete and total collapse, unlike anything seen since the Cradle Rebellion on Highgarden. The House of Kings, the Davidic Lineage, who had ruled the Imperium until now had finally reached a point of collapse caused by internal rivalry creating a power vacuum within the Imperial Leadership. The decimation of this noble house would shatter the Imperium into independent warring states and began a period of time known as Fractum Regulae Imperiales, an age in which the Imperium was ruled by a number of False Kings of the Al-Ayadi Al-Kubra.

    The Reformation and Reorganization of the Imperium & the Start of the Reclamation Crusades

    Imperial Minister of War Saint-Guillermo of House Yurievichi
    176 years after the fall of the Davidic Lineage and the period of warring states within the Imperium of Midgard, order was returned to the shattered Imperium with the emergence of the House of Zion, led by Heir Select Judah David the 27th. It was Lady Judah who established the three cornerstones of the new empire, the Crown, the Imperial Government, and the Faith, and restructured the entire imperium into what is more commonly recognized today. Lady Judah was officially recognized by the newly formed congress, The Imperial Congressional Body, on the planet Jalal Al-Amal in the Isharaat Al-Arsh Star System. She was crowned Summa Imperatrix of the empire and the new Clan, Azuma Rhati, became the ruling power.   While shattered, various sections of the Imperium had strayed from the path of Order and many refused to submit back to Imperial Rule, sparking the Reclamation Crusades which sought to bring the majority of the cosmos back under the Empress' rule. The Starguard, the Imperial Department of War was charged with leading this effort under the command of the newly appointed Minister of War, Lord Saint-Guillermo Yurievichi.   This new Crusade was in direct violation of the Tractatus Salomonis (Treaty of the Solomons) signed in 2628 by the then-sitting ruler, Summus Imperator Jedidiah "Solomon" David with King Solomon Pendragon of the Camelot Kingdom. The Tractatus Salomonis forbid the Imperium from expanding past 65% control of the cosmos but Summa Imperatrix Judah the 27th argued that this treaty was signed with a ruling power, the House of Kings, that no longer ruled and bound a government, the Imperium of the First Men, that no longer existed. Empty threats from Camelot would not stay her hand.

    The End of the Reclamation Crusades
    Diplomatic action

    The Reclamation Crusades were originally launched by Minister of War, Lord Saint-Guillermo Yurievichi of The Starguard, the Imperial Department of War by Executive Order of the then sitting ruler, Summa Imperatrix Judah the 27th. The Crusades were launched with the intent to reunify the lost sections of the Imperium during the Fractum Regulae Imperiales, an age in which the Imperium was ruled by a number of False Kings of the Al-Ayadi Al-Kubra.

    In total, the Crusades lasted est. 587 Imperial Standard Years and by the time they were formally closed, 76% of Midgard was either under the control of the Imperium or its influence. The remaining 24% remains ambiguous and although the Crown declared an Executive Order to close the Crusades, the Office of the Minister of War officially has them under a pending status, as they have plans to return and finish the work they started and bring the entire universe under Imperial control.
    The Crusades formally ended on the planet St. James in the Liberty System when the Starguard crushed House Wellington and would have pushed forward to take Liberty entirely had the Executive Order not been declared. The Wellingtons were reinstated and made a noble house of the Imperium. Duchess Saamyya Wellington signed the treaty with the sitting Imperial Minister of War, Lord Wim Yurievichi.
