Drulona Empire

The Drulona Empire, also known as Drulonia or Dral, was an ancient civilization based around the Frodonia River Valley. The Empire conquered much of the Fredona continent, especially in the Northeast. It was an absolute monarchy, and lasted from around 3804 BT to 3258 BT, when it collapsed. It was the first major civilization on the Fredona continent, and eventually the identity of Drulonians became what is now Frodonians. The Drulonian language evolved into Frodonian over the centuries and eventually became what Frodonian is today. The Drulona Empire had established basic laws and rules that many Frodonian nations would follow in the future.
== History ==
=== First Imperial Era (3804 BT - 3498 BT) ===
The first known monarch of the Drulona Empire was Emperor Napier I, who took the throne in 3804 BT. He would conquer the surrounding kingdoms and integrate the new lands. Napier I would die in 3789 BT and would be succeeded by his son Tymon. 
Emperor Tymon I would rule very strictly. He began to kick many non-Drulonans out of Drulona in a series of ethnic cleansing acts in order to clear up land for native Drulonans. 
Empress Malwina IV, or Malwina the Conqueror, would conquer almost all of the Frodonia River Valley in 3530 BT. The smaller kingdoms could not stand up to the massive armies of the Drulona Empire and usually surrendered before being invaded.
