I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
So, we know that in BL there are three imperial factions: the Northern Empire, ruled by the senate; the Southern Empire, ruled by Rhagaea, the widow of the former emperor; and the Western Empire, ruled by the military.
If you were to side with the Empire (or if you are actually planning to), which of these would you side with, and why? Personally, I think I'd side with the Southern Empire, because I kinda like the idea of an empress, plus I dig the whole eastern vibe it has (or is supposed to have).
Otherwise, I'm not sure. All three imperial factions seem to be equal in every respect, with only geography and aesthetics being different.
