The Empire of the Coast

== Introduction ==
An enormous orc empire, the EOC is a huge expanse of land ruled from one capital, Verrerie and its government is known as the Cult of Paragons, who worship a mysterious pantheon of entities. 
== Demographics ==
The EOC has a population of 40 million, with 10% living in Knil, 1% in the independent Isles, and 90% in the Coast, the area of land that stretches along the southern coasts of the Matted Sea. 
While orc in majority, the EOC’s population is relatively diverse, with 60% Orcs, 18% human, 14% Elf, 3% Dwarf and 1% other races. 
The EOC is the greatest empire created by the orcs, with a common language, that is the 4th spoken amongst the other races. 
== Geography ==
Although the capital of the EOC is located in Contrafavor, the rest of the EOC is a continuous stretch of territory from Kinland to the Freelands and the EOC has holdings in Knil, Board, Fold and the Independent Isles. The EOC is a patchwork coalition of many small and insignificant nations and principalities. Little is known about the kingdoms and principalities that make up the EOC.
=== Capital ===
Verrerie is located in Contrafavor, the EOC enjoys prosperity under the Church and its Magic Academy in its capital. 
=== Cities ===
The coast is home to the major cities of the EOC such as Gnorth, Wrukag, Lum, Alog and Krognak.
=== Districts ===
The EOC is divided into 5 districts, each containing a Seal, what these seals are is not yet known, but each district contains one of the EOC’s major cities.  
== Economy ==
Economically the EOC is rich in raw materials such as oil, gold and silver, and they are the main source of income of the EOC. To protect these reserves the EOC has a staggeringly large army of over 3.3 million soldiers and reserves, although it is notoriously underfunded. 
== Politics ==
=== Governance ===
The EOC is run with little regard given to the well-being of the races that make up it. a significant part of the population is possessed by demonic entities or other curses. 
== Military ==
=== Army ===
The EOC has a staggeringly large army of over 3.3 million soldiers and reserves, although it is notoriously underfunded.
The majority of the EOC's soldiers are possessed, bloodthirsty killing-machines that have no emotions and whose only wish is to destroy. The EOC's soldiers each have mysterious red armor that is resistant to magic, and these can be extremely deadly, as magic attacks will result in the attack backfiring.
=== Knights of the Seal ===
The Knights of the Seal are a coalition of soldiers that dedicate their lives to protecting the Seals of the five main districts of the EOC.
=== Conscripts and Slave legions ===
From time to time, the EOC also enlists the help of various monsters from around the world, such as goblins, ogres, cyclops, gargoyles, gryphons and other strange beasts of varying sizes and difficulties. They also have large balloon-like contraptions and airships.
== Culture ==
=== Religion ===
Religiously, the overwhelming religion is 72% orc cults, 13% human based sects and the rest an ensemble of other religions. The main cult is the Cult of Paragons, who worship mysterious entities and guard enormous temples called Seals that the EOC protects mercilessly with its magic infused forces.
=== Seal ===
The EOC possesses the Seals that, if broken, would bring about untold evils to the world and throw the entire planet into chaos, or so they believe, and tries its best to protect these seals from the other races, who, governed by the mysterious entities called demons, would destroy the seals according to scripture. 
The EOC even has its own armed force dedicated to the protection of the Seals, the Knights of the Seal
=== Pillage Culture ===
The EOC’s nobility also adores treasures and pays top coin for artifacts, often leading to controversy.
