I think that the Original Empire consisted of Nine Worlds, with the original capital on Earth, which is called Ysthar(?) and is referred to as the only place where you can grow rose petals and tea, so a source of luxury. The Fall* destroyed most of the connections (gates?) between the worlds, with side on effects of magic going haywire, time going weird (it has been 7000 years on Ysthar, about ten on the world the Greenwing and Dart books take place in, if that in some places). I think some places maintain technical fealty...again, Greenwing and Dart books, but I haven't re-read them recently enough, and also, to an extent that worldbuilding annoys me.
*We find out that Artorin is not quite right, but possibly not quite wrong in another book, Til Human Voices Wake Us, which is very...First Novel.
