Kingdom of Amron

== History ==
The Kingdom of Amron was a pious land, once, that worshipped the Divine - a term of reverence to denote the gods, who were considered to sacred to name or otherwise depict. All neighboring kingdoms considered Amron to be both mighty and generous, and left it in a state of peace. They were grateful for the fact that Amron, the easternmost nation, bordered the Desert of Tears, a desolate waste at at the edge of the earth, past which no man had gone before. 
One hundred years ago, a faction of Scholars in Babel, the capital, began to apply their study to the gods themselves. Where once they had done so in secret, this time they had the blessing of a sympathetic king. They built a great tower, that was said to be for the purposes of reaching heaven - it was, in fact, a celestial observatory - and cloistered themselves within. 
Without warning, upon the night of a blood moon, a terrible curse struck, transforming the Scholars of Amron into all manner of monstrous beasts. The Kingdom of Amron became a pariah amongst the world, who feared its curse, and declared that its people had turned their back upon the Divine. 
One hundred years later, Amron has largely returned to a peaceful state. It is forgotten by the neighboring kingdoms, who prefer to play politics amongst each other. The people have either made peace with the Scholars, or been devoured by them. It is scarcely even a unified nation, each community an isolated world of its own. The only travelers are bandits, archeologists, and pilgrims, although the people of Amron do not differentiate. 
Legend states that Amron was once the promised land, but that upon the Sin of Babel, as it came to be called, the Divine withdrew from the world. Now, the legends say that those who seek the promised land must journey through Amron, and cross the Desert of Tears, which no man has crossed. Only then will they come unto the promised land.

After the destruction of the Throne of Atlantis, the curse of Amron would take its toll, transforming all the nation's inhabitants into beasts resembling the Scholars.

== Gods ==
The people of Amron worshiped the Divine, a term of reverence given to the gods collectively, who were deemed too holy to name. In reality, Amron worshipped the Great Old Ones. Their representative god on the Holy Council is the Blood Moon. Category:Countries
