D'Harian Emire
History
The D'Haran Empire consisted of D'Hara and all the lands of the Midlands that willingly joined with D'Hara, whose armies defend the New World against the Imperial Order. It was founded under Richard Rahl and first coined by Kahlan Amnell.
The D'Haran Empire is essentially ruled by Richard Rahl, Master of D'Hara, and Kahlan Amnell, Mother Confessor. Although Richard was officially the dictator of the emprie, as well as its head of state and government, his legislative and executive power was matched by Kahlan's, and perhaps overrode by hers in military and judiciary due to her experience. In any case, Richard and Kahlan were basically two sides of the same coin, and therefore considered their titles and powers fluid.
Ideology
The D'Haran Empire fought for the freedom of all people, whether they possessed magic or not. It was believed by the D'Haran Empire that all people had a right to live in freedom, so long as they did not infringe upon the rights of others.
No land that surrendered to the D'Haran Empire would have their culture disrupted in anyway, so long as it did not breach the common law that applied to all members of the D'Haran Empire equally, regardless of wealth, status or population.
It was decreed by both the Lord Rahl and Mother Confessor that the D'Haran Empire would offer no mercy in their struggle against the Imperial Order, or indeed those who aided them. Neutrality was not recognised by either the D'Haran Empire or the Imperial Order.

Imperial Order
The Imperial Order was the empire ruled by Emperor Jagang and founded through the Fellowship of Order by Brother Narev. The Order taught that mankind was evil and full of selfish desires. Emperor Jagang managed to bring his ideals to the entirety of the Old World and brought the once separate kingdoms under his controlled rule.
Ideology
Jagang and Brother Narev claimed to work in the name of the Creator. They allowed their troops to murder, rape and steal from innocent people, saying that it was the duty of all to bend to the will of others in need. People were brainwashed with the promise of a better world after death and that their current life was worthless. Anyone who spoke out against these thoughts were quickly put to death, being accused of treason against the Creator.
The Imperial Order despised magic and those who were gifted with it. They sought to end magic itself, although Jagang himself was a Dream walker and possessed magic. The Order had no qualms in using magic to further its ends. Jagang used his talents to enslave the minds of many gifted individuals and uses them against their will to wreak havoc on innocent life.
History
The Imperial Order was formed by Brother Narev, trying to enslave people to do his will, claiming it is the will of the Creator. He met Jagang when Jagang tried to pickpocket Brother Narev.
