The Empire of Trynser, or more properly, the Second Empire of Trynser, is a large empire that comprises of a number of smaller dominions, including seven human kingdoms, one kingdom each of elves and dwarves, a republic, and numerous smaller duchies, counties, city-states and so forth. The Empire of Trynser, known generally as "the Empire", is ruled from Trynser City, the ancient city-state from whence the First Empire was conquered. The Empire is mostly found in the Trynser Region, but it also holds the two large kingdoms of Askordia and Minadas and the Republic of Casterria, along with some smaller dominions, on the continent of Dantenna. The Empire also dominates most of the Intamerack Sea and some isolated areas beyond such as the Starreach Isles and Alpharas.
The Empire is directly ruled by the Emperor of Trynser and his High Court, but the Imperial Senate holds a lot of power. The Imperial Senate is a body consisting of senators sent by each Sovereign Dominion, a Soverign Dominion being a dominion of the Empire that is independent from any other dominion. The Imperial territories on Dantenna are ruled by a Viceroy in Suledaria who rules by authority of the Emperor.
Geography and Climate
Trynser is a large realm, therefore it has a variety of climates. The dominions on Crytha have an oceanic climate west of the Karmeron Mountains and a humid/hot-summer continental climate to the east, with a mediterranean climate along the southern shores and on the islands in the Intamerack Sea.
The Dantennan dominions aside from Minadas are generally hot desert climates with a bit of Mediterranean along the shores and throughout Suledaria. Minadas is generally tropical savanna and hot semi-arid.
The Crythan dominions are split by the gigantic Karmeron Mountains running from north to south down the middle, with a spur of highlands stretching away to the east. Feylurayne to the northeast lies atop a broad plateau, while the lands west of the mountains descend into the basin of the Southern Dragon Sea. South of the Karmeron mountains, the Trynsern Peninsula is marked by the Gold Coast Range to the west.
History
The Empire of Trynser is the political legacy of the First Empire of Trynser, which ruled largely the same territory from roughly eight hundred to seventeen hundred years ago, but fell to the Sanassian conquest. In a series of wars, the Sanassian Empire attacked The First Empire in 921, conquered Trynser City in 956, and was finally fought to a standstill in 987. After this, the surviving kingdoms of Karninia, Kasteban, and Manebia made their way indepentent of any empire, though continuing to clothe themselves in the Empire's former glory when it suited them. The next three hundred years were a period of infighting between the surviving kingdoms and ocassionally the Sanassians.
In 1134, the surviving kingdoms agreed in the Treaty of Paladast to forego any further conflict and agree to defend each other from Sanassia in the future. However, in 1195 Karninian King Jirgen sold out Manebia to the Sanassians and they were able to conquer that kingdom by 1197. Only Kasteban defended Manebia, to no avail.
Outraged by his leige's treachery, knight Sir Johann Galderon slew King Jirgen soon after and Karninia was wracked by civil conflict for the next twenty-five years, during which Sanassia attacked and conquered Paladast. After this, Duke Roderick Galderon, Johann's descendant, attacked Sanassian forces in Manebia, and soon his army was joined by volunteers from Kasteban and Casterria. In 1298, Roderick marched into Trynser City and and The Second Empire of Trynser was founded.
The Second Empire quickly set about liberating all of the former First Empire territory from the Sanassians, eventually pursuing them through the Shield States. Ardegon was a former First Empire territory that was liberated, but declined to join the new Empire. Likewise, Venteel and Verintalia were both founded by Trynsern refugees fleeing the Sanassian Occupation, but declined to join the new Empire.
The Empire expanded to the north as well, starting to sail its ships upon the Dragon Seas, coming into conflict with Pengaldia, Aladar, sometimes Dallandy and Arumelia, and most recently Daeregon. Among other conflicts, the Empire got embroiled in the Great Western War. On the southern continent the Empire got involved and continues to be involved in conflict with Zazimar.

In 1637, the kingdoms of Karninia, Kasteban, and the Grand Duchy of Feylurayne rebelled against the tyrannical rule of Emperor Augustus IV and the Trynsern Civil War raged for five years before Augustus was expelled and the Kastebani Gandervhard dynasty took the throne. There were only several emperors of that dynasty before Lucan "the Mad" II was removed from the throne by the Imperial Senate for reasons apparent by his apellation, and the Senate ran Imperial Regency took over for nearly twenty years. Unfortunately, the Regency was motivated by the desires of the individual Dominions without regard for the Empire as a whole and Pengaldia took advantage of this lack of cohesion in the ruinous Autumn War which seized a lot of territory and forced Trynser to pay a hideous idemnity.
In 1689, Artemius Galderon gained enough support to reclaim the throne held by his ancestors at the beginning of the Second Empire and the Second Galderon Dynasty has ruled ever since.
