Oroborian Empire

Founded by the dragon-monarchs **Mithran** & **Isadora** in humanoid form, the **Oroborian Empire** stands as the most powerful nation on Sari-Ifa.

## The realms

The empire is divided into seven realms, six of which are divided under the six children of the Oroborian royal family who rule as princes and princesses. It is not uncommon for them to fight amongst themselves and many of the border marches are in constant flux between them.

### Pyrulos

The northern princedom of Pyrulos stands at the frontier of magical studies. Scholars from all across Bataf find a place for their magical experiments here under the patronage of the red dragon-prince **Sar-Thedronus**, even if those experiments might be less excepted elsewhere. The landscape is scared by the western half of the Cooking Canyon through which lava from the volcanic Twinobra Mountains flow. Located within this volcano lies the autonomous city state of Othlest Inod. The capital of Pyrlos is Ozul-Saba, which is known for it cleanliness and eleven universities.

### Ferona

The north-eastern princedom of Ferona dominates the mining industry of the Oroborian Empire. Most of its resources come from the eastern half of the Cooking Canyon which is much more inhabitable when compared the western half Pyrulos controls. The Feronan capital of Garphetia was build by order of the steel dragon-prince **Stahlaz** into the walls of the canyon itself, with bridges allowing people to walk across to the other side of the city. The rolling plains outside of the Cooking Canyon are used almost exclusively for agriculture.

### Khargan

The south-eastern princedom of Khargan serves as the frontier of the Oroborian Empire. Every child in Khargan is trained to be able to use a spear and a bow, but the crystal dragon-princess **Myn-Xara** makes sure that there is enough time for her subjects to live and learn.

### Corelia

The southern princedom of Corelia rules most of the Oroborian Empire's southern coast. Its navy patrols the Svellbjarg Sea protecting trade coming in and out of the Empire from piracy. However the Corelian frigates are too large and cumbersome to keep up with the much smaller and faster Svellbjarg longships, and many slip through to raid the coast. But this is a small price to pay for the blue dragon-prince **Abyzar**.

### Orolay

The south-western princedom of Orolay is the main source of lumber in the Empire. Under the careful watch of the amber dragon-princess **Veridi** the forest is kept in an orderly state and balance is maintained to ensure maximum efficiency.

### Zephyra

The north-western princedom of Zephyra, ruled by the jade dragon-princess **Nephirata**, is renown for its local chapter of knights. The knights of the Kamaitachi are a chapter of knights recognisable by their oxidised copper armour. They don't bear traditional weapons, but instead summon elongated flat blades made out of wind. While fighting they combine rapid strikes with air and lighting based sorceries to overwhelm their foes.

### The central princedom

The central princedom is personally managed by the emperor and empress themselves. The landscape is dominated by large cities and rolling farmlands. It functions as a neutral meeting ground between the princes and often hosts grand banquets to honour the royal family. In its heart lays the city of Ealance, covered in the shadow of the Imperial Palace. From here the dragon-monarchs and their retainers rule over the rest of the empire.
