Victorian Empire

The Victorian Empire is built off the north of the Blackdon Gulf, in the north of the continent of Autreon. It is by far the richest kingdom in the world, with ornate towers and golden spires scattered throughout the empire. The king and the other nobles are often seen riding golden carriages with beautiful white horses dragging them along. The capital of the nation is Tralow, a standing demonstration of the wealth and power of the Victorian Empire throughout the last 700 years. The Empire has been a factor in the birth of a myriad of different kingdoms and empires that stand today, such as the Kingdom of Ebiq, and the Caeverian Empire.

The king of the empire is Quinn Victoria. He has ruled for the last 29 years with an iron fist, unquestioned and unrivaled. He has made many enemies through his brutality, as well as his mischievous charisma that endears many to him, but turns just as many away. This is demonstrated in his marriage, as his wife, Josephine Victoria, was originally married to Harold Sutton of the Empire of the Nipageo Woods. During a party celebrating 100 years of peace between the two nations, Quinn Victoria seduced Josephine and brought her back to Tralow as his wife. Tensions have been high between the two nations ever since.

The Victorian Empire has a population of 978,000, and the capital has 120,000. Every man and woman between the ages of 19 and 21 must participate in some form of the military. The closest allies for the Victorian Empire are the Kingdom of Tivell, and the Iptu Empire.

## Formation of the Empire

The Victorian Empire was founded in the year 199 by Donavan Tralow and his wife Victoria. At the time, the empire was just a small town, named after the man who founded it. As the area around it was explored, large gold reserves were found, and the population rapidly grew. By the year 207, the population had tripled. In another 5 years, it tripled again. By the time Donavan Tralow was on his deathbed, the empire had grown to 100 times what it was in 207. Before he died, he named the empire the Victorian Empire after his wife, and passed the rule to her. Victoria Tralow ruled for another 10 years, until she died and her son, Donavan Victoria, took over rule.

Throughout the subsequent 700 years, the Victorian Empire continued to export gold and many other natural resources that were found in the area. With these exports, the Empire became the richest in the world, with the ability to import nearly anything they wanted due to their extreme wealth.

## Current Events

The Victorian Empire has been at war with the Kingdom of Ogrulapia for the last 5 years, with the Victorian Empire dominating. This war was started over disputes over sovereignty of an emerald mine in the land between the two.

A year ago, the Victorian Empire went to war with the Kingdom of Ebiq because Quinn Victoria's daughter, Abigail Victoria, cheated on the prince of Ebiq, Kyle Cooke. The war is known as the 9-day War.

There have been arguments between supporters of both of the king's twin sons, Leo Victoria and Joshua Victoria, over who should succeed the king after his death. Tensions have been steadily rising, and the fear is that war will break out once the king dies, or even potentially sooner.
