Gallus Empire

The **Gallus Empire** is a nation in Lord of Heroes. It comprises of Gallus and all of its conquered territories on the Eastern continent. In game, the continent is split between Western Gallus and Eastern Gallus.

## History

Originally a small kingdom within a federation of nations on the eastern continent, in recent years Gallus has brought about the advent of the Arcane Revolution. The resulting technological and cultural shift has allowed the nations of the eastern continent to develop at a much faster rate than those of their neighbors to the west. Arcane Steam Engineering has led to innovations in transportation and logistics, making it easier for centralized governments to provide infrastructure to provincial areas. Of course, this has also led to social upheaval as industries race to take advantage of these new technologies.

As the forerunner of these technologies, the kingdom of Gallus leads all other nations in Arcane development. Of Gallus's three princes, Kartis Claudith's unprecedented achievements and policy reforms allowed him to upset the established succession of power to ascend to the throne with little resistance. When the entirety of the royal family disappeared the day preceding the prince's coronation, there were few vassals of the kingdom who dared to object.

#### Imperial Emblem

The imperial emblem of Gallus is an eagle with its wings spread wide. The symbol originates from the first Gallus Empire which reigned many years ago. Usage of the emblem declined when Gallus was reduced to a minor kingdom within the region but, upon Kartis Claudith's ascension to the throne and re-establishment of the Empire, he reinstated the eagle as a national symbol.

Historically, the emblem was meant to represent the dreams of humans who looked up to the sky and saw the eagle as the embodiment of freedom. Although as king of the sky, the eagle also represents authority - a concept familiar to many of those currently under the Empire's rule.

There are four nations within the territory of Eastern Gallus.

### Revair

A nation along the southern edge of the continent. Prior to occupation, the region of Callaeus was a popular tourist destination.

### Druen

A nation along the northern edge of Eastern Gallus. In the early days of the war, it most strongly resisted the Empire's invasion. Prior to occupation, Druen was governed by its royal family whose corruption was well-known and widespread. Needless to say, when the entirety of the family was executed, not many of its citizens mourned their deaths. Druen was also home to the former headquarters of Sabbah, an infamous assassin's guild of which Baretta was once a member.

### Galemund

A nation located along the continent's eastern coast. Galemund was the first nation to be invaded during the empire's expansion. It held close ties with the neighboring nation of Revair and exchanges between the two were frequent enough to conduct joint military exercises every year.

### Gallus

The heart of the Empire, the nation of Gallus is located in the center of Eastern Gallus.
