Empires are formed when Kingdoms decide to band together in an alliance. Everyone can found an Empire in Aether Kingdoms, but leading an Empire to victory is not an easy task.
Each Empire can have up to 60 Kingdoms as members. You'll help each other with resources, army and by working on gaining Prestige.

Prestige
On the Prestige page, you can see the progress of your Empire. The first Empire to 250 prestige wins the game.
The Prestige page from the Empire
At the top of the page the total prestige is displayed. Below that are the three objective types that spawn during the game. Capturing these objectives will generate a lot of prestige. You'll need to work together with your Empire to capture and hold these objectives.
The Milestones part of the Prestige page
The second way to earn Prestige is by playing the game and making progress on different milestones. There are 8 milestones to earn progress on:
- Weekly top 10 medals earned by the Empire.
- PvP attacker kills
- PvP defender kills
- Events completed
- Land owned, the number of tiles claimed on the map.
- PvE attacker kills
- PvE defender kills
- Resources won from objectives
Each milestone has 5 stages, with each tier giving increased prestige when achieved. For the different stages it's: 1, 2 (or 3 in total), 3 (6), 4 (10) and 5 (15) prestige.
