Valmyrrian Empire
Pronunciation: val-MEER-ian
Map Index: G-17, H-12 to H-17, I-9 to I-17, J-16
Location: Arc chain of volcanic islands southeast of Nhulokkarnum
Description: The Valmyrrian Empire, survives as a majestic and ancient civilization, inhabited by the Valmyrri elves that reside in the Great Southern Sea's vast array of islands. The empire's geography, defined by a remarkable two-thousand-mile-long arc of volcanic islands, extends from Troog's western coast to the eastern islands of Mu Xian’va. The heart of the empire boasts impressive, magnificently constructed cities, while many other islands remain more sparsely populated.
The Valmyrrian Empire stands as the world's most sophisticated and influential nation, boasting unparalleled technological and magical achievements. Their beautiful towering cities host the world's most advanced magical college, in a society where magic is a common and accessible art, which sets them apart from most other nations.
The history of the Valmyrrian Empire is steeped in grandeur and legends. As the oldest empire in existence, Valmyrrian society holds a deep sense of tradition and history. Its arcane knowledge and magical prowess have been preserved through ancient tomes and mystic traditions. Unlike their more reclusive counterparts in the Valtauri and Valaeri elf kingdoms, they actively engage with the world, aiming to spread order and civilization. This stance, however, has earned them a reputation for arrogance among other nations. With its ancient legacy, unmatched magical prowess, and naval supremacy, the Valmyrrian Empire stands as a dominant force in the world, shaping the course of history with each passing age.
Residents: The islands of the empire, dominantly populated by Valmyrrian elves, also contains small populations of humans of many ethnicities in seaports.
Primary Population: Valmyrri
Secondary Population: None
Minor Population: Chuuli, Mu, Valtauri
Government and Politics: The ruler of the Valmyrrian Empire is a hereditary emperor who has been in power for over 350 years. The emperor's dynastic bloodline goes back for thousands of years and he has ruled well during his long reign. The empire mainly extends its influence by trade but occasionally gets involved in settling skirmishes between nations. The empire has ambassadors in the capitols of most nations.
Economy: Economically, the Valmyrrian Empire continues thriving. Merchants from all corners of the world flock to their ports seeking trade and opportunities. The Valmyrrian Empire’s economy, built on an expansive trade network, includes a diverse range of magical items, rare resources, and exotic goods from distant lands. Their well-established and protected trade routes attract merchants and adventurers from across the globe as the Valmyrrian navy actively patrols these areas to minimize the threat of piracy.
Military: At sea, the Valmyrrian Empire reigns supreme with a large, formidable navy. Their large mighty dragon ships, the most powerful battleships afloat, and filled with elite warriors, are unparalleled in strength. Griffon ships, carrying griffon-riding war mages, provide aerial dominance to strike fear into the hearts of their foes, as well as giving the navy a means of monitoring enemy ship movements from the air.
History: When the Great Cataclysm struck, devastating the human kingdoms, the Valmyrri elves found themselves fortunate to escape relatively unscathed. Their powerful arch mages foresaw the impending disaster and cast potent protective arcane magics just in time to shield their islands from tsunamis, earthquakes and chaos storms.
Today: The powerful Valmyrrian Empire stands as the premier nation in the world. Regarded as the richest and most powerful nation, they are also viewed as haughty and dismissive of human nations, who they often deem as untrustworthy upstarts.
