The World Of Perisno

Reich des Drache Lore
The Reich des Drache came from a land far away from Perisno. It is said that real dragons lived in their homeland, or used to. Their homeland was called the Isle of the Dragon, and reportedly it was a vast continent, where many strange and exotic creatures lived. The Reich are a very mysterious group, and almost nothing at all other than where they came from is known about them. They arrived at Perisno in the year 363, and it was clear that their intentions was not to trade, but to conquer. They brought a huge armada with them, deploying thousands of soldiers into Perisnoan soil. They quickly colonized some native cities and changed them into large, industrial metropolises. They also built fortresses and fortifications of tremendous size in what was soon "their territory" and soldiers patrolled the borders regularly. All the other factions were wary of this new threat, and were afraid to act. They had heard reports from their spies that real dragons accompanied the Reich, although this fact is still disputed, for the Reich have yet to reveal them. The Dragon Priests of the Reich spread across Perisno, preaching their faith to all. It is said that the leader of the Dragon Priests wants to be king, although he needs more men to help him.

(History)
   The first settlers of Perisno were the Redwood Elves (In the year 321). They settled in the woodlands of Perisno and quickly beat the other inhabitants into submission through military might and power. There is very little known about the Redwood Elves and where they got their name. Natives and outsiders soon learned that the Elves were a force to be reckoned with. If you faced them in battle, you had to fight or die, because the Redwoods caught all deserters and executed them brutally.n
   The year 323 brought something new for Perisno: people seeking a new home. The Tolranians ran from the oppression of Hakkon. Hakkon is an island nation far to the east of Perisno and its leader is King Comrey I, who was a vile and indolent man. He taxed his people excessively and held lavish feasts daily. Life was hell for the peasants and minor nobles. One day, a group of peasants took a risk. During one of King Comrey's feasts they commandeered a ship and sailed away. They did not know where they were going but they knew that maybe, just maybe a new life was out there for them. In the following week, three more ships were taken by the peasants who now called themselves Tolranians to sail into the lands beyond the great sea. These peasants arrived in Perisno and settled down in small villages scattered throughout the East coast. After five years these peasants had inhabited the eastern, central, and the northern lands of Perisno. They became a Monarchy called the Kingdom of Tolrania.
   The year 330 brought a shiver down the spines of the Tolranians.  A fleet of ships had landed on the eastern shores and these ships were filled with nobles and soldiers from the Hakkon Empire. Nobles and kngihts alike came to this great vast land seeking a home. Back home,mKing Comrey was going mad and his loyal knights had turned Hakkon into ruin and bloodshed. No longer could it show off its proud cities and illustrious ports. The tyrant had the kingdom under his grasp and it was getting harder and harder to make it through the day without fear. The new Hakkons considered the Tolranians traitors and hostilities from the two nations began. A few hundred Tolranians joined the newcomers and  by the year 340, they declared themselves a sovereign nation and were known as the Hakkon Empire.
   The Hakkon Empire was prospering and were enjoying the riches that the land of Perisno had to offer. But the year 342 once again brought more adventure seekers. This time it was a group of people from Nisaynia, who landed on Western coasts. They rapidly moved inward when the constant threats of the Volheere raiders became to much for the newly settled villages. The year 344 brought the biggest blow to Tolrania's short history. From a small beginning to  an unforseen rise, the Maccavians began clamining more and more land. The Maccavians have always been in Perisno (Though they weren’t really noticed by anyone for a long time), inventing, creating things, raiding, innovating. They were a rather strange group, who then expanded into a tribe, and then quickly become a village. Then, they became a prosperous city and soon a wealthy kingdom of various cultures mixed together. Their society was always split - there were many differences and beliefs in their kingdom that led to several civil wars that grew meaningless and useless for both sides.  When all those doubts were ended, the Maccavian Kingdom grew, and was set to become a major faction. Maccavians are very talented with metal and  many of their crafts come from metal. Metal has many purposes in the Maccavia Kingdom, and it is said that the Maccavian army was the strongest yet in Perisno. Their army uses heavy armor and almost every soldier wears heavy armor as if it were their own skin.  Maccavians could also be called the  iron men and iron women, and ironeers. Their main trade is the export of raw metal materials and crafts, horse armor, infantry weapons, silverworks and others. However, with all their power, even the Maccavians stayed away from the Redwood Elves.
   More migrations happened. In the year 359 the Drahara Tribes who had lived in the deserts of Perisno banded together and declared themselves a nation. Then in the year 363 mysterious ships once again landed on the shores of Perisno. Nobody knows where they came from and nobody knew anything about them. Some inhabitants spread the word that they had spotted dragons in the skies over the ships. Thousands of armored knights and soldiers marched off.  For days people had emptied off of over thirty ships. Then they marched for days and stopped.  Pretty soon spies from other nations brought back information that these new outlanders had rapidly built fortifications and villages. In under a year they had grown to a alarming size. People were afraid to confront this mysterious nation, believing the stories of the dragons even though there were no confirmations or sightings after they had apparently been first spotted at their landing site.
   (Year 365) Tolrania was tired of fighting a seemingly fruitless war with the elves and called for a truce. The Hakkon Empire was thriving, as were the Maccavians.. The Reich des Drache was a major world power, and the Tribes of Drahara had build a kingdom in the desert.  Perisno became inhabited by six kingdoms and various minor factions, which meant one thing: WAR!

The Klyrintin Empire
The Klyrintin Empire is an empire from an island near Perisno. They are sailors, explorers, astronomers, scientists, and philosophers. They are fascinated with Perisno, thinking that there was no way that this much blood could be shed for one piece of land. Their ruler, Emperor Zhenghe, decided to put an end to all of this foolishness. He is plotting a full-scale invasion of Perisno and his men will come as "peacemakers." He believes that his Imperial army will easily crush the Perisnoans and all of their inhabitants. His invasion is almost ready, and he will invade in the middle of the year 365 (so around 180 days for the player in game). He first sends in scouting forces and spies - you could implement this by putting "Klyrintin Spies" in taverns who question you and stuff and if you do good you gain relations with them. The military forces could be implemented by adding large groups of "Klyrintin Military Peacemakers" near the coastal regions of Perisno.
Military and Government (no claimant): The Klyrintin Empire has a vast army, and their soldiers are disciplined They have a wide assortment of troops ranging from spearmen to heavy cavalry. A commonly used tactic by them is to use horse archers to bait the enemy and then trap them with infantry and heavy cavalry. They are a force to be reckoned with.
