With this Essence you gain the power of an Imperator, a divine embodiment of some set of concepts (usually between 1-5)
*Create your Imperator according to either 2e or 3e rules, and your character's powers (and weaknesses) will work according to the mechanics of that edition.
*You can gain the Immortality Gift for free.
*You and your Estates are one, and they cannot be taken or leave upon death.
*Your Estates are strengthened against metaphysical attacks, making them much harder to undermine, even by a Riding of Excrucians
*Create your own Chancel according to the rules of your chosen edition, without needing to sacrifice human souls or kill Actuals.
*If you picked 2e you get an automatic level 5 rank in the Realm attribute.
*If you picked 3e , you gain an automatic level 5 rank in the Domain of "Things of My Chancel".
*Your Chancel is strengthened against attack and infiltration, making even scores of Warmains hard-pressed to cross the boundary.
*You may, if you desire, lend power over your Estates to a family of Nobles of your choosing, who will serve and defend you and your Chancel until you withdraw the Estate from them. This process is not fatal unless you wish it so, nor do you yourself lose the ability to use your own Estates while they have them. If you die or your estate is destroyed however, these Nobles will die.
*You gain the ability to travel to and around the World Tree and the rest of the Nobilis universe. Beware the Excrucians though.
*You carry self-contained instances of your Estates with you, even to worlds or universes that do not possess them.
