History Of The Imperial Realm
Our groups have more then 13 years of history in virtual worlds. We are excited to share the history of our groups with you.
2009
On March 23, 2009, our Imperial Queen embarked on her journey in virtual worlds by exploring the virtual world of Second Life. Having been in the real-life BDSM lifestyle for almost 11 years, she knew the lifestyle and was curious about how it worked in virtual worlds.
2009
The Imperial Queen visited many different BDSM groups during her travels but found that they either did not know much about the BDSM lifestyle or it was not as realistic as she was used to. So after consulting with her real-life sister and the leader of the Imperial Council, who had trained both her sister and her in the real-life lifestyle, she began creating the Imperial Realm with the first group, Mistress Diamond's Realm.
2010
Mistress Diamond's Realm was officially established in December 2009 and began operating On January 1, 2010. By the time the Imperial Queen's real-life sister officially joined her in-world in Second Life on March 23, 2010, the group's membership had grown steadily.
2010
In June 2010, the group saw the following change as the first Imperial Madame was announced. During the tenure of the first Imperial Madame, rules were adopted, which many are still in effect today but have changed. However, one rule that has stayed the same is the rule that requires that in-world, the Imperial Queen may only submit to the Imperial Madame.
2010
On October 31, 2010, the leader of the Imperial Council officially joined the sisters in Second Life. The leader of the Imperial Council began helping the sisters by putting in place proper standards to ensure that no one would overstep their roles within the group and encouraged the sisters to implement programs to help members see what the lifestyle was like in the real world.
2015
By the time 2015 arrived, the sisters had created the New Foundations Safe Haven program, the Dominant and Submissive training programs, a prison system, and much more in the works.
2016
In 2016, the Imperial Queen determined that there needed to be a parent group to ensure that the Imperial Family could manage all the groups accordingly and provide smooth operations. Thus, the Imperial Realm was officially created. All the other groups the sisters had established became subsidiaries of the Imperial Realm as part of the restructuring program.
2020
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the sisters focused on ensuring that members would make it through the pandemic and helped members with answers to questions they or provided advice when asked. The sisters realized that focusing on the welfare of the members of their groups during the pandemic was essential to ensure everyone made it through.
2021
In 2021, the Imperial Queen and senior staff began discussing implementing a roleplay lifestyle to provide another quality experience opportunity for members and interested visitors who preferred different lifestyles in virtual worlds. By October 2021, the senior leadership had agreed on a lifestyle theme, and a redesign of the Imperial Realm's in-world locations began.
2022
In 2022 rules for the lifestyle were drafted and reviewed for adoption and implementation; as part of the implementation, castes, and caste colors were assigned. Staff was advised that they could join the roleplay lifestyle they wished and would be allowed to wear the colors of their castes at official ceremonies.
Today
Today, the Imperial Queen, her sister, and senior staff continue improving the lives of the group's members and improving the programs and services the Imperial Realm provides in virtual worlds.
