Ashan’Eze Narath was the more assertive of the legendary twin emperors. Where his brother Ashan’Reze Karath orchestrated continuity and relay, Eze was known for his unapologetic, sometimes forceful approach to unification. He did not seek open war, but believed the Empire’s destiny was planetary and would be secured only through uncompromising assimilation—especially by means of language, doctrine, and education.

Eze's policies enforced a single language and cultural pattern across all annexed provinces, often overriding resistant customs with imperial structure. He believed unity was never an accident, and that the cost of fragmentation was always higher than the discomfort of enforced order. He was not a warmonger, but neither was he subtle; when imperial boundaries or cohesion were threatened, his answer was decisive and direct.

His reign is remembered for the planetary scale of assimilation: every tongue aligned, every record integrated, every doctrine taught from the same foundation. His legacy is not subtle—his influence can be traced in the very words the Empire still speaks.

• “He is why we remember the same history. Why we speak one language. Why we call ourselves Geban—across bloodlines, across broken dominions, across former myth.”
• “Would not one of them have said something? And if they disapproved… would they have granted him unrestricted imperial resource?”
• “Those crowned bureaucrats? They governed like accountants with bloodlines. You speak of them as if they were architects of legacy. But none of us knew them. They’ve been gone for centuries. What we know—what we claim to know—is recorded silence.”
