Eidra

== ==
Eidra was a Far-East inspired nation with a heavy imperial china motif. Most information about it was lost, but what's remembered is as follows:
- The nation consists of anthropomorphic dragons under a confucianist like feudal system, where social strata are divided inbetween peasants, soldiers, bureaucrats and lords, with the emperor on top.
- Very little is known about the emperor, only what's said in official education: That the emperor is immortal, extremely wise, and secluded from view of the peasants. What little was known to foreigners comes from the experiences of foreign diplomats, who were allowed into the outer residences of the outer circle of the palace. Apart of some strange phenomena relating to time, there wasnt much to be said other than the emperor only communicated through messengers with the diplomats, and offered them during their stay, all of the pleasures and desires. Though some said to have seen the emperor during states of intoxication, none can confirm with clarity. Nothing was known to the outside about the inner palace.
- Eidra expanded slowly, and mostly due to colonialist reasons. Eidra only settled unclaimed land, never going to war (at least to what is recorded) during the time of the shard, mostly limiting itself to try to keep favorable trade relationships with neighbors.
- During the final months of the shard, the dragons developed rudimentary firearms and complex siege equipment, as well as unchecked factionalism amidst the ruling feudal lords, which led to some continued withdrawal from international affairs.
- As the final crisis engulfed the shard, Eidra collapsed as the effects of the corruption turned the dragons of Eidra into zombies. The military class was overtaken by the imperial court, and evacuations, quarantines and last stand orders were instituted in an extremely coordinated fashion, in a way that was almost as if this wasnt their first time facing zombies.
- as the final settlements fell to the zombies, the retreating dragons were allowed into the palace, and unknown contraptions of magic destruction were unleashed. as final stands baited the hordes of zombies, one by one all checkpoints, villages, towns and cities were engulfed in massive explosions, until the zombies reached an undetermined boundary close to the ruins surrounding the imperial palace, which in a blinding flash, dissapeared, leaving behind almost no trace but a layer of unprotected soil and some holes left of itself and the hundreds of thousands of dragons that sought refuge on it.
Eidra was heavily implied to be a shard hopping civilization, but the concept was never talked or discussed with mods so it remains a sort of speculative narrative.
