The Empire

The Empire is one of the major realms on Abeth, situated within the sixty mile wide ice-walled corridor. It is ruled by Emperor Crucical of the Lansis family from his palace in the capital, Verity.  There was a time when The Empire ruled the entire continent and many places beyond.  Now The Empire controls the land from the Sea of Marn in the east to the Skithrowl Mountains in the west, a length of about 500 miles of corridor between the walls of ice.

The government of The Empire is closely intertwined with the Church of the Ancestor.

Neighboring Nations

Travel along the corridor is dangerous, and information from beyond the boarders of the Empire is hard to come by.  For practical purposes, The Empire has no relations with any governments other than their imidiate neighbors.

Durn

Durn lies across the sea to the west of The Empire.  It's people are a loose coalition of tribes and city-states.  Merchant ships cross the ocean to Durn frequently.  Slightly less frequently, Durnish raiders land on the shores of the Empire to pillage and steal.

Skithrowl

The nation of Skithrowl lies to the east of The Empire.  They were the most recent major territory to leave The Empire during it's long decline.  They share the same language and worship The Ancestor like the people of The Empire.  A series of mountain ranges that cross the corridor makes travel to and from Skithrowl impractical.
