Pergrande

When the Ishgarian Empire was formed, the most abundant city was named the Capital and became the home of the Royal Family. That city happened to be Helios, which is located within Pergrande.

Pergrande is a large country containing cities such as Helios, and is controlled by the family chosen from the Thirteen Great Houses every four years in an nation-wide vote, unlike the other thirteen countries within the Ishgarian Empire, which are each ruled by one of the Thirteen Great Houses who, in turn, are ruled by the Monarch of Pergrande. The Monarch is often the family's head, leading the family to choose a new head.

Rule
Since founding, the Empire has been ruled by House Pendragon, being ruled by Uther Pendragon from X795 to X803, before being succeeded by Arthur Pendragon from X803 to present.
