Eian Empire
The Eian Empire, natively called Sragni Eia'al, is one of the three geopolitical superpowers of the Thalassaterrian archipelago, and by far the most aggressive. The Empire is almost entirely composed of gnolls, which is the primary reason behind its conquistadorial nature.
Geography
In the present day, the Empire stretches from the border isles on the Sundown Breach in the west to the Raolghaarian subchain in the east. In the past, the Eian reach extended as far west as the Sikanese mainland and as far east as Mauhak, but those days are long past.History
During the First Eian Conquest, the Empire invaded neighboring island subchains until the vampyres fought them all the way back to Eiakker and burned New Eia to the ground -a conflict known as the Vampyric Sieges.
The Empire took hundreds of years to recover, though once it did, the gnolls immediately returned to their old conquistadorial ways by invading Raolghaar and the Tribunal islands. One expedition did eventually land at Hiaal, but the native boggarts unsettled the gnollic explorers enough to drive them off. Upon the party's return to the Empire, they gave the excuse of “too arid” when asked to explain why they didn’t conquer the island.
At present, the Empire's borders are still conflict zones, though in the past few years the dust has settled on the ground and the violence now takes place in negotiation halls. There is growing unrest within the Empire, however, and soon it will disintegrate into a civil war that splinters the many islands into a myriad of shifting factions for half a century.
