Allanrian Empire
The Allanrian Empire is well known to be one of the strongest nations within Estarion in terms of political, financial and combat power. Following the Turah'ian Pantheon, they are devout worshippers of the Torik. However, Humans in Allanria usually worship the Mother other Torik as they believe the Mother granted these lands to the First Kyng over the Kallier. Whether true or not, Allanria is more than happy to look back on it's history with pride, and keep it's strong present day powers growing. It's capital, Sesasa, was founded many thousands of years ago, making it one of the older remaining cities within all of Estarion.
What is most famous about the Allanrian Empire is their dual unity. Whilst other nations are two joined nations or an alliance of houses, they all still are ruled by one leader. In Allanria, this is not the case, and they instead are ruled by two leaders of equal power. They are known as the Kallier and the Kyng. The Kallier, an ancient Elven word for trusted one, and Kyng, the ancient-common word for King are both equal in stature and power and rule from the Citadel in Sesasa. The Kallier is always an elven ruler of either gender. They have been decended from the same bloodline, the Verrybons, since the foundation of the Empire. The Kyng is always a male human, and has been held by multiple dynasties - either due to a failure to produce an heir, or a coup in one situation. To ensure neither is "indebted" to the other and that both always keep impartial rule, neither can assist the other, even in matters of war, unless it is a mutual alliance.
Living in Allanria is something to be proud of. They are a highly patriotic nation, stemming from their own personal beliefs that the continent of Allanria was promised to them by The Mother as long as they "protected all inhabitants of my world." And as such, it is also the most welcoming nation for races. Whilst Eorsta is known for being the best place to "start anew" it still has slavery in limited capacity. Allanria was the first nation to abolish it, and treats all within it's nation as equals, as long as they respect the traditions of the nation.
Whilst this is an appealing ideal, do not let it distract from the dangers this empire can hold. They are very, very powerful and patriotic to a fault, their belief that the continent is theirs has already resulted in wars against Sidegia and Pes'lan - with a resounding victory against Sidegia and a stalemate against Pes'lan being the result. Whilst peace has filled Estarion for 60 years, peace can not last.
Structure
Kallier - The Elven Ruler of Allanria, an ancient elven word meaning "Trusted One." The first Kallier is listed as Turah, however the kingdom was created many centuries after Turah's death. The first official ruler was Ylen Verrybon, who ruled for many hundreds of years. The current Kallier is Kayess Maesen Verrybon, who is a more kind and considerate ruler who is quite young into their career.
Male: Kallier
Female: Kayess
Kyng - Based off the Common Word for "one in power" which is King. There have been almost 8 times as many Kyngs as Kalliers, but in more recent times the Kyngs have begun to live for longer and longer, lowering this disparity. This is because the current ruler is believed to not be a full Human, but partially Celestial due to being blessed by the Mother, becoming one called an "Aasimar." This Kyng is Cayeb Reele
Public Agenda
Allanria believes that the continent they took their name from is rightfully theirs, if not all of Estarion. As such, they hold the dual duty that they believe they are also the protectors of those who live within it, of all races. They have special respect for "elder races" or races that are able to live long lifespans, especially elves. These people will find themselves often as educators here.
They are extremely agressive towards other nations, even in trade. They believe that all should comply with them or comply under them, claiming it as their dream of a union across the world.
Assets
With a population of around 4.6 million, Allanria is left with an extremely sizeable army. This is boosted by purchases of better tech from neighbours aswell as the ability to forge their own weapons and breed their own horses due to the amount of fertile land and mines within their nation. This makes them extremely wealthy, although not as wealthy as others with a similar population size due to their refusal to take non-beneficial trade deals or pay tarrifs.
The Mother's Word is Truth.

Trade Deal
Trade Deal through mutal benefit. Eorsta dislikes having to pay Fostian Tarrifs on Allanrian Trade, and so Allanria pays these tarrifs for them. In return, Eorsta trades less with Sidegia.
