Nolis

The Nolissian Empire

Territory

An imaginary line from Iprada to Tundell makes up the recorded northern border of the empire. The territory continues downward to the entirety of the continent. There are news of Yushan wanting independence from the empire.

Composition & History

• Long ago, goblinoid races (Orcs, Half-Orcs, Bugbears, Hobgoblins, Goblins) ruled all over the continent.

• When the unrecorded event of the making of Skyshatter happened, the said races migrated to the southern part of the continent.

• Other races from other continents migrated to this land.

• Then...

Before the Last War, there exist 5 nations independent of each other.
Aundair. A scholarly nation. The west's farmland.
Breland. The cosmopolitan city-state of Sharn.
Karrnath. A militaristic nation. Centered on Markora.
Thrane. The theocratic nation. Centered on Maridur.
Cyre. Now uninhabited, known as Mournland. The live dead space between Amar and Maridur.
The Last War decimated the domains and nations of the 5 nations. With Cyre being turned into a living memorial of a battlefield, a remnant of the Last War. After lengthy wartime, a king from a hidden town, Aradoren Nolis, sought out to stop the war by forming a treaty that encompasses not just the five nations at war, but also the other nations of the region. He succeeded and upon the decision of all the leaders of said nations, city-states, and kingdoms, that an emperor must be elected to protect the peace. With this, the Nolissian Empire has risen.

Now, the Megaempire is made up of:
Basilei. The King's Capital. A walled city of tradition.

Recent History

After the Second Treaty of Thronehold (year 1500), Iprada has moved its alliance from the Nolissian Empire to the Sword Coast. All other previous countries and city-states (including Yushan) have chosen to be under the Nolissian Empire banner.

On the afternoon of the 18th of Forechill, 1500, the then adventurer Vladimir Von Brezhnev affiliated with the group known as Juara, purposedly cast the spell Meteor Swarm on Basilei potentially killing the whole population of the capital. The Twelve's setup Mithal has worked in avoiding the catastrophe. 37015 casualties were recorded as the Mithal did not protect the outskirts of the capital. Since then, this incident has been named the "Skyfall" incident. Many countries have since invested in intelligence and reconnaissance agencies to avoid these incidents.
