The Empire of the Bright Star
The Empire, often known as the strong arm of the east, is well-known for its
penchant for conquest. The Emperor, once a vigorous leader, is now better
recognized for his lack of concern for the welfare of his people. Though not
intrinsically evil, much wickedness is done in his name as he allows the
empire be governed, for the most part, by the bloated, lazy, and inefficient
bureaucratic class. As a result, Menegroth, one of the main cities, is rife
with corruption. It is known that strong swordsmen and talented wizards are
always welcome within the Empire, especially if their motives are not
altogether righteous. |
