Empire of the Southern Sun
The Empire of the Southern Sun is a kingdom common to the legends of Birdfolk, Goblin and Orc-kind. It is a far-off kingdom where once Orc, Goblin, Birdfolk, and Human (and, in some legends, Troll and Ogres) reigned over a mighty expanse which they ruled with an iron fist. This changed when the Elves came, and swept in from the seas, carrying off Orcs and Goblins and Birdfolk as slaves. Some tribal groups hold that it was humans who betrayed them and joined with the elves in a quest for greater power, others view humans as fellow-victims.
History
In reality, the Empire of the Southern Sun is better known as the Sûn Imperium
Disbandment
Some traditions hold that the Empire of the Southern Sun stood strong, and fended off the elvish invaders. In this tradition it reigns in the far South still. These traditions often take on an apocalyptic bent, and foretell of a future invasion by the Empire, to take back the disparate tribes--and purge the elves and any traitors.
Other traditions hold that the empire collapsed under the yoke of the Elves, as they were all carried away to work as slaves in the ancient Elven empires.
