'Újɒzurɔw Empire

ˈÚjɒzurɔw Empire: (Uplifting Crowns) The largest and currently longest lasting Faed'au empire on Ruben, the ˈÚjɒzurɔwɛr emperors often possess a sweltering lust for territory and domination since their inception. Alive over four centuries today, and a colossal melting pot, their ingenuity to overlord and siphon from prosperous realms is what has kept up the success of its rulers, a momentum which has only been recently broken. Always blessed with the spiritual support of Gaoýfradógɛ's loksou, the spiritual health of the realm is never low, but their lack of commercial ports and control over vital trade routes domestically has left them wanton for development. The static and expensive nature of a near-theocracy alongside an emperorship has often led to the burgher class officially confiscated of its wealth to steady the treasury, consequently stifling domestic economic and cultural development. Presently, it’s most recent war with the northern Khagre fiefdoms has left it battered in its tracks and off course, allowing the smaller fiefdoms once reluctant to challenge it, now stand up as potential bulwarks against its vassalage designs. It remains to be seen if this empire can recover quickly for its coffers run dry, and adjacent realms that pay tribute have already done so. Within the next several years, its current emperorship held by Ssoum ˈÚjɒzurɔw will contest the sovereignty of petty Khagre realms to its tundra north, then move eastward against the remaining independent towns and cities present against the coast. With looming economic debts, he will push westward into central Ruben, past the Ashen Mountains and pastoral lands to claim Irzheti population centers. These series of moves will either result in him being defeated in the grasslands west by Irzheti cavalry, or another showdown between Faed’au and Khagre men-at-arms in northern Ruben’s forest. Great defeat could spell doom for any future conquests, and the collapse of many one-sided treatises held against many domains north and south of its realm.
