Invocation

By the Light of the Creator, in remembrance of those who established, served, defended, and preserved the Aksum Imperium, and under the solemn authority vested in the Imperial Crown, this Constitution and Imperial Covenant is ordained for the restoration, unity, government, and continued advancement of the Imperium.

Preamble

We, Rasim Aeon, Emperor and Grand Sovereign of the Aksum Imperium, acting through the inherent and continuing authority of the Imperial Crown and in covenant with the Sovereign Great Houses, Imperial institutions, officers, citizens, subjects, and communities of the Imperium;

Recognizing that the Aksum Imperium has endured through successive constitutional eras and that the Fracture interrupted the effective administration of the Imperium without extinguishing its lawful existence, Crown, inheritance, or sovereignty;

Honoring the service, achievements, institutions, laws, traditions, and recorded history of the preceding Imperiums while acknowledging the necessity of restoring, reviewing, and reforming those parts of the former order that can no longer govern the restored Imperium;

Reaffirming the permanent unity and indivisibility of the Aksum Imperium, the continuity of the Imperial Crown, the dignity of the Sovereign Great Houses, the service of the Imperial Government, and the place of every citizen and subject within the Imperial order;

Determined to restore ordered government, preserve the Great Game, secure justice, maintain constitutional succession, protect the Imperium, and provide lawful means by which Imperial authority may be exercised, delegated, reviewed, and restrained;

Do hereby establish this Constitution and Imperial Covenant as the supreme governing law of the Aksum Imperium and the constitutional foundation of the Tenth Imperium.
