Aemir

Aemir is easily the largest nation in the Freelands, being more of a united empire than a nation. Despite its size, it has a relatively peaceful history with most of its neighbors. Originally covering only the central territory now known as Kerlain, where the capital city of Emilon is located, Aemir slowly but surely spread to encompass many of its smaller neighbors, culminating in its current size.

Although there is still some lingering territorialism, especially in the west, Aemir is a strong nation. Its primary allies are its southern neighbors, Aemon and the island nation of Harai. These three nations form a strong front against the more aggressive Neran. Indeed, Aemir is often seen as the stalwart defender against Neranen invasion.

Despite this, Aemir has been partially infiltrated by at least one Neranen group. The Dragon Cult, an insidious and secretive group with considerable standing in Neran, is known to have infiltrated most of the other nations of Arion to one degree or another. Aemir is on friendly terms with Fiellen and Soltain, as well, though there are some minor border disputes between these nations. Aemir does not allow slavery.
