Royal Draugen Empire

The Empire, as its so aptly called. Is a brutal, absolute dictatorship monarchy that exacts its brutal interpretation of complete law and order over its thousands of subjects. The Empire only respects power and order, and any who oppose the divine right that the Empire lays claim to, will soon be in their many armies sights. Founded in 909 by migrant warlords from Tel Morath, the Draugen people rose quickly and began taking territories all throughout the Crista Islands and enslaving the settlers that reside on them. The fledgling empire used these people as convenient slaves to build their vast fortresses, foundries and slave armies. With fear and overwhelming strength, the people were quickly subjugated in the name of creating order in what the warlords called 'a world of chaos.' Since the empires founding, it has fought war after war for control of the center of the world, most notably against their rival state of Avalon. It is said that the empire can never be defeated, for their factories of war are nearly endless. If a Draugen fleet is sunk, its only a matter of weeks before another is raised and on the seas again. Naturally, a ruthless empire such as Draugen would attract all manner of foul creatures. Attracted to the overwhelming strength of the nation, evil dragons, giants and terrible sea people such as Sahuagin, have also chosen to serve the will of the emperor. More alarming than that, at the deepest level of the courts are Devils, who lend a hand as advisors to the emperor.

Geography

Draugen is extremely mountainous, with high peaks, deep gulches, ravines and shear drops. Along the coast sits small patches of tropical forests and craggy juts of rock that stick out from the ground like teeth. Travel is limited through the country, for the mountains force you to move along the roads.
