The Three Empires

Within the three Empires lies the majority of all mortals. The balance of power between these three Empires keeps order across the world. Though they greatly vary in power and influence, any of these nations could crush any non-Imperial state with the barest effort.

The Old Empire
The mightiest of the three, the majority of the population is Human, but they are ruled by a small aristocracy of Elves and have substantial populations of Dwarves  (whose nation maintains close dilplomatic ties to the Empire), Halflings , Orcs  and Gnomes. Their capital is the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace at its heart. Slavery is allowed, but primarily used to move populations of those they conquer around the Empire, and also to populate the colonies.

The Chosen
Splitting off from the Elven Empire five thousand years ago over a matter of succession, the Chosen (or Fallen) are so claimed because they believe themselves to have been chosen by their Gods to suffer for the crimes of all Elves. Their population is primarily Elven, as they have not suffered the Doom like the Old Empire, though they do have sizable populations of slaves taken in their many raids. Their culture is heavily warlike and formal.

The Elemental Empire
Technically the oldest of all the Empires, the Elemental Nation is also massively disorganized and weakened from its heyday. Though they possess a powerful and varied military, their civil technology remains unsophisticated and travel is slow and unreliable. There have been numerous revolutions, and are currently in their sixth incarnation of a government and the man sitting on the Throne of Elements, Asilos Siasiusim, is heavily supported by the Chosen and their diabolic soldiers.
