The Durendal Empire is the heart of Humans of Tel'Evandros. The power of the empire began with the legendary warlord Duren of the human colonies over one thousand years ago when they landed on the blood soaked shores, and has grown to be one of the strongest nations on this side of Aros. The bloodline of Duren rules still, a dynasty which has stood for a millenia. In times of peace, the Empire divided into three human nations, but Estrana and Varendal swear fealty to the empire. Gold flows deep in Durendal and the aristocracy and political game sways the events of the nation.
