Turamzzyrian Empire

The Turamzzyrian Empire is a human empire which controlls much of the land to the west of the Dragonspine Mountains. It extends as far north as Talador and as far south as the Aldoran capital of Elstreth and the Estorian city of Idolone. The small trading town of Wehnimer's Landing is not under the control of the empire, despite recent attempts to do so by the Barony of Jantalar. Vornavis and Solhaven are the two largest cities in the northwest region of the Empire. The capital city is Tamzyrr in the Duchy of Selanthia.

History

The Turamzzyiran Empire was officially established in 4278 by the first ruler, Selantha Anodheles. Under Selantha's rule, the Empire began a more than 800 year long period of expansion which began with the incorporation of the Duchy of Aldora in 4274. In 4281, the Empire entered into its first war against the Kannalan Alliance, which ended in victory nine years later. As a result, the present day the lands of the Barony of Bourth, Earldom of Honneland, and area known as the Wizardwaste or formerly the city of Toullaire, were brought within the control of the empire.

The Empire entered into its second war against the Kingdom of Hendor in 4294. The war lasted eighteen years and three successive rulers of the empire and accomplished little by the time Emperor Chaston Kestrel signed a treaty of peace with Hendoran King Thurbon II. Under Chaston Kestrel's rule, the empire underwent a great racial change in which many non-humans, particularly those of elven heritage, were motivated to emmigrate out of the empire after the declaration of Chaston's Edict. The Empire began an expansion eastwards towards the Dragonspine Mountains under Chaston's rule to the region presently known as the Barony of Highmount and established the Imperial outpost of Kragsfell. It was also under Chaston's rule that the Imperial Navy was expanded and improved to become the dominant naval force in the Great Western Sea.

In 4327, Mount Ysspethos, a volcano close to Tamzyrr, erupted and Chaston and his immediate heirs were wiped out. His successor was Immuros Kestrel.
