Empire Quote by Raymond E. Feist
““The Empire is all those who live within its borders, from the nobles to the lowest servant, even the slaves who work the fields. It must be seen as a whole, not as being embodied by some small but visible part, such as the Warlord or the High Council.””
About This Quote
Source Novel: "The Riftwar Saga", 1984
The empire comprises everyone inside its borders, from nobles to slaves, and must be viewed as a whole rather than focusing on a few powerful figures.
In simple terms: An empire is all its people, not just its leaders.
