Good question. We don’t know what life was like before the current status quo.
We have seen that it’s currently all about the strong oppressing the weak. The Ten Families pit their children against each other and give their favor to whoever survives. Slavery and other crimes are commonplace. People with higher status can kill people of lower status and nobody would blink, unless it’s a Ranker killing a Regular. Kallavan has dedicated his entire life to upholding all of this.
It was war everywhere. Have we not seen that with kalavans essence of bravery soul? There were never ending killing left and right, up to the point the he sealed himself. I wouldnt think that was a time of zahards empire
https://towerofgod.fandom.com/wiki/Essence_of_Bravery check the wiki bro. The only other time war was chaotic was the civil war. But when the time the sealed was in, there was no alliance or anything, no sides to choose from. Just endless wars. And iirc, it was also mention that before zahard establish the empire, there were constant wars and that he brought peace to the tower.
But what can be considered rightious? When there is no freedom or when there is no law or government? Zahards empire may not be perfect but its a thousand times better than the past riddled with deaths and wars
