Imperios, the Accorian Empire
Just West of the Accorian coast line, there is a great island. This island blossoms with unnumbered wondrous flowers, plants and things that long ago perished in Accoria. This island boasts many gold and white cities such as Nasitadel, the ancient and magnificent capital of the Empire and all Accoria. This wondrous place guarded by many domed towers, walls and frotresses defies invasion. This is the Island of Imperios, it's name meaning "sovereign" in the Old Tongue, for through the ages, from the fair rule of the elvish Star Kings, the vampiric and orcish tyrants of the Valcanese Confederacy, the golden Lords of the Lion and now the mighty reign of the Magmus Dynasty, it has always been capital to the mortal
Many years ago the worlds most powerful kingdoms were united a man, a great man by the name of Magmus. Through conquest and diplomacy, all the kingdoms of men fell behind the golden eagle of his house. When the time came that he desired a capital, he looked only to the ancient capital of the High Elven Dominion. The island of Imperios and the post of Nasitadel. Years of war later, the island fell and the Elves succumbed to men. Now, the great Accorian Empire possesses all the lands of the known world. But...
"the prophecy spoken, the one ignored, is the one that comes to be"
This came to be as the last heirs of Magmus vanished; Arcus Magmus, the eldest, fled from the other to a land far to the West. The youngest, Akar Magmus, fell victim to the blade of their half-Elven brother that became the last Emperor. This prophecy predicted the inevitable fall of the Empires power. The Emperor now struggles to hold onto its lands and keep its people at peace.
Although the bulk of the Empire is in the provinces of the continent and feeds primarily off of the resources of all Accoria, it's great cities, ports and fortresses export a myriad of priceless things of their island.
