The Earthborn Empire

A human empire on Auire consisting of 8 semi-independent kingdoms, taking up most of the continent of Rielli. The Empire has existed in some form for 41,592 years and until recently, was proficient in and reliant on the arts of magic, and built an empire on this skill, thus their level of technological advancement has remained stagnant for thousands of years, while still being more advanced than any other human civilization.

Before the founding, and in the early ages of the Empire, there was constant war between the human kingdoms of Rielli, expanding and contracting almost periodically. Eventually, the Empire stabilized and at its greatest extent, covered half the continent. However, the kingdoms are currently recovering from the events of the Great War 100 years prior, when magic disappeared, leaving the Empire severely handicapped, even more than after the loss of 2 kingdoms millennia prior during the Wettan Attacks. Expansion of the Empire has been halted by several disasters that push the priority of invading the tough Syrkivi tribes to the bottom of the list of priorities.

They take their name and legacy from supposed survivors of Quorangar, from Earth. They are the only major empire in the known world, other human powers only able to maintain single kingdoms. The Empire used to have 10 kingdoms, but 2 were destroyed permanently in the mysterious Wettan attacks. Traditionally, an emperor rules over the kingdoms through appointing of senators in each kingdom to balance and check the power of each king, and promote the wider goals of the empire, but the last Emperor has been dead for generations and the Church has seized control of the political administration and has turned to promoting monotheism over the traditional panoply of cults. Rumors of a new emperor or rebellion of certain kingdoms are rife.
