Mer Empire

The Mer Empire was a dominant force in the depths of the Otarian Sea off the southern tip of the continent of Otaria, on Dominaria.
==Description==
The Mer Empire was more sophisticated than the land-bound cultures, with considerable magic forces held by its primary occupants, the cephalids, and an advanced governing body of aristocrats holding power under the imperial office. Cephalids were also skilled merchants, and the Mer Empire held a wealth of treasures and fine craftsmanship, giving them considerable clout among inland cultures. The Empire ran along the eastern coasts of the continent.
==History==
The Mer Empire was originally the location of Berbous, ruled by Emperor Tajaras. Betrayed by Laquatus and conquered by the cephalid king Aboshan, the Berbous civilization was wiped out in a single day, with Aboshan then instilling himself on the Coral Throne.Vance Moore, J.
