The Grand Concordian Empire

Introduction

"The Empire will have no enemies"

The Order of Concordia, their power, and that of the leader of their house extends by consent over all Fae and all things within The Concordian Barrier.

The House (The Order of Concordia, and subsequently the Empire, is represented by the imagery of The Bee.

The imagery of The Horse (representing all aristocratic and royal lines not affiliated with a Great House is also used by Concordian elements although always subservient to The Bee. The Bee represents the entire hive, the Horse represents the actions of the hive (administrative, military, and so on). Flags and official documents are labeled with this schema in mind (chronicles and administrative documents often bear the horse rather than the Bee due to this distinction; the chronicle for example is an action, not an institution).

Fae Blackmetal in full uniform will always display a Bee representing their allegiance to the Empire alongside their own House and specific unit emblems.

It is common for Fae Kings & Queens to express Imperial loyalty by wearing prominent Bee emblems on pageantry (broaches, badges, printed designs, and so on).

Aristocrats below the royal ranks usually stick to horse emblems - it would be considered an overreach to display a bee at that level (unless upon a military uniform).
