The Horadric Empire

The Horadric Empire is a nation in Ashar. It is the largest and third most most populous nation in the world. It has a population of around 52,000,000 inhabitants. The empire is incredibly old, with the ruling dynasty stretching back over two thousand years. The Horadric Empire's vast territory is home to dozens of ethnic and linguistic groups. The empire is a theocratic monarchy, ruled by the emperor. The nation's territories are split into various provinces, sultanates, and emirates. The empire's capital and most populous city is Horad. 
The origins of the Horadric Empire stretch back to the fall of the Asharic Empire. The Horadric Empire arose out of several former Asharic territories. The Horadric Empire now claims much of the former Asharic territory. It stretches from the southern coast of the Inner Sea, to the Great Barrier, and all the way to the Demon Wastes.
Despite its considerable size, the vast majority of the empire's land is inhospitable desert, badlands, and steppe. Because of this, most of the population is located in large population centers in the north, such as the cities of Reyad, Jhoros and Dhairat. However, the most populous city in the empire, and the most populous city in the world, is the inland capital of Horad, which is supplied by the Jhor River.
== Geography ==
The Qadat Mountains are the largest mountain range in the empire. Outside of the mountain range, Mount Ghareb is the tallest peak in the Horadric Empire.
== Culture ==
Saq Basat is a traditional Horadric duel.
== Languages ==
There are many languages spoken across the empire. The majority of the population are native speakers of Horadric, of which they are nine major dialects. The second most common language is Qebari. Qarsi and Asharic are also commonly spoken. Most speakers of languages other than Horadric are secondary speakers of the language. Many scholars and nobles speak Asharic.

== Trivia ==
* The Horadric Empire is primarily based on the Abassid Caliphate and the Kingdom of Morocco. Arabic is a primary basis for the Horadric language, but Berber, Ancient Egyptian, and Inuit languages are also sources of inspirations.
