The Naellyn Empire

Basic Info

An ancient empire, now diminished down to the Kingdom of Naellyn, used to be the largest land power on the main continent of Zaraxis, ruling as far west as the city Weidesitz, as far south as Raven Queen's Pass, and as far east as the lands of the Lower Tusk.

Early History

In the year 1 A.O.M, Cretius Nosseos became the first emperor of the empire. He ruled for 26 years, justly and peacefully, solidifying his dynasty's rule throughout his reign. The early years for the Naellysh Empire were filled with constant vying for supremacy with neighboring powers, such as the Nümari horselords to the east, or the strong and proud Strömovi tribes found south of the Empire's borders. Tensions boiled over in 7 A.O.M. when Cretius marched an army of 18,000 Naellysh countrymen, to besiege the Strömovi ancestral capitol of Strömov. Rexus Cretius, returning from his recent conquest the following year, saw no feasible way of expansion with his current resources, so he turned his focus to the seas.

Naellysh Empire in Xyreos

It was said that Rexus Cretius himself received a vision, depicting a land for his empire to call its own, far across the seas which he called Xyreos. While the exact location remained a mystery to the emperor, he set sail north with a skilled sailor and explorer by the name of Alystus Kraecal aboard the ships The Ausonia and The Amalthea.

In the year 15 A.O.M. the first officially chartered Naellysh settlement in Xyreos was established by the name of Creteport, in honor of the Rexus. It was home to a group of settlers called The ________ aboard The Calamity and The Fairlight. While Creteport was the first public Naellysh settlement, the military ports of Alystus' Port and Brindallyn were established shortly after Xyreos was first discovered.
