The Royal Empire

History
The Royal Empire was founded in the 3rd century. It was built upon the idea that Humans should rule over Elves and Dwarves instead of the opposite which was previously true. It was a success and Humans allowed the other races to live among Humans and by the early 4th century the Royal banner stretched all across Mytria with little strong enough to oppose it. The first King to rise to the Royal throne was King Lacterius the first. He dwelled in the throne room built in the early form of Narash with didn't have citizens living in it until much later on. Lacterius unified all the factions under the Royal Empire and made it generally better for Mytria. It became powerful, influential and most of all safe. However when Lacterius the second rose to the throne resentment broke out between humans and the lesser races and the Royal Empire was slightly weakened. These hostilities stopped when they had to contend with the first war of Malus, it was King Tiberious the first who was tasked with defeating Malus and he did so with great success. In fact he has a heroes soul and is written in the legend as the true king of the people. By the fifth era the roads of the Empire crumbled it was only the walls of Narash that held it together. Under King TIberious the second's rule the desert and snow lands were lost and the Grasslands began to be taken under siege by an Elven Rebellion (see below). This is the time that Mytria takes place. The Empire is weak and risks loosing everything over this latest rebellion.

The Elven Rebellion
The Elven Rebellion was lead by the Elven Covenant. It occurred in the fifth era (year 1240) and it involved a new ideology that Allius had intended the lesser races to rule over Humans and keep them in check. This was true, in actual fact Humans had never meant to rule over so much land and so war was waged. The Royal Empire lost Stonewood village and the Elven Covenant gained Stonewood in turn. The Elves did however loose Fort Lorkon. Depending on what path the player took there are two outcomes to this war. The first is that the Elves break the Empire, take Narash and occupy the desert and snow lands. The second is that enough Humans stood up to the Elves and managed to maintain royal order as well as stretching Royalist territory even further.

Ranks
Soldier- Serving as a guard or as their name implies 'a soldier' these armed brutes will follow any orders if given good ale and a prostitute to bump. Archer- Not many of these serve the Royal banner. Royalist archers are unskilled but attempt to assist in ranged combat and some guard Narash.

Officer- Officers are the only skilled and devoted people in the Royal Empire. They are intelligent and truly believe the Empire is best for Mytria.
