The Skandrian Empire
Founded by Iskandar II 9227 (and expanded by conquest over the following years
--- about 800 years ago). Main rival to the Caliphate, though the two
empires are currently at peace. Also a traditional enemy of the northern
empire, but hostilities have calmed over the last century or two.
Probably the empire under least external pressure at the moment.
- Races: mostly human.
- Government: the Emperor, the Senate (mostly representing
landowners), the army, the mages, and the merchants squabble with each other
for power. The balance continually shifts between one faction and another.
The Emperor tends to have the commoners and the clergy supporting him.
Theoretically a constitutional monarchy.
- Current emperor: Balisar II
- Capital: New Skandria (where Rome is in our world.)
- Religion: most are followers of the Old
Religion. The emperor and his army sponsor a cult of Mitras and Anahita.
