Prothian Empire

A great expansionist empire that has been expanding into the west. Since 10 years back they do however have a weak peace set in place with the settlements and conurbations of the west. If they would get any excuse to once again wage war, they will.
The Prothian Empire has historically been a very xenophobic place and in any position of power, you will find one of three races, Yuan-ti Pureblood, (fallen) Kalashtar and Humans. Of the places, they have encountered and occupied the other races have either been annihilated or been made into slaves if they were strong enough. Corruption runs rampant as it does in all seatings of power and has caught the attention of certain nobles, mostly scholars but the average man or woman could not dare cross these lines.
The Empire's power structure is made up in quite an interesting way, at the very top you will find the Yuan-Ti, they work closely with Kalashtar. The Kalashtar migrated from the east of the Draconic Wastelands before it became uninhabitable by most races. After the long years of migration, they strangely found allies with Yuan-Ti that corrupted this proud but quite innocent and innately good-hearted race. The Kalashtar carry out the "dirty work" in the empire and are masters of slaves and executioners of traitors to name two examples. Humans are in actuality the driving force behind the nation's success, they have tactical minds and make up most of their armies. Most importantly they feel a great connection to the empire and have strong feelings about duty and honour. 
With the help of The Spellbreaker Core they have been able to control magic users throughout the empire. This has led to many of the mages moving northwest and trying to join The Arcane Alliance. Many succeed only with the help of extraordinary magical measures.

The millitary and guard

The empire is not unprotected at all and has one of the biggest armies by mancount on the continent. This has however come at a cost in training and gear. Their main army, the red horde has come to be feared throughout the eastern stepps and beyond. They have however suffered many defeats that they should've had. Since their found they have had problems with finding compentent commanders and generals which shows in how their wars have been going.
In addition to their millatary they also have a large national guard that keep citizens at bay and "protect" it from outside harm. In times of great need the guard has been called to the frontlines.
When they decided that they needed to regulate magic users the spellbreaker core was created and ever since it has been funded by the empire. In every city or town there is atleast one member working for them.

History

The history of the prothian empire is one filled with blood, wars and despair. It started from the city Prothus and today it stands as the capital of this terrible empire.
Its first major war was against the dragonborn kingdom of old. The war lasted for 4 human generations, over one hundred years and scarred the lands of which battles were fought. Hundreds of thousands died and it ended with the dragonborn retreating over to ocean to where they came from. It is the biggest reason why they are so rare in Vallaheim.
