After reinvigorating the assassination industry and stoking the pride of the German people, the dusty old nobles were buried or wisely fled. These idealistic men of merit, power, and most substantial influence dubbed their rebel state “The Imperium” in true anti-Pope fashion. With a most wise and respected hero of Germany accepting the new Imperial Throne, they yet had hope and to continue to grasp at it they would have to draw the support of those looking to the future rather than those grasping at the past.
