— Famous words from Gregiavic after news of Human victory in the Battle of Resus Valley.

**The Empire of the Dominions of Dresmedeus** or better known as the **Empire of Dresmedeus** was an empire established in the late Second Aeon and was dissolved in the early Third Aeon after signing a treaty following their defeat in the hands of the Kingdom of Reia in the Battle of Maria Bay at the Four Years War. Established after the victory of the Dominion of Dresmedeus over the Zabis Kingdom in the Franzein Conquests and acquiring much of its territories. It became one of the largest empires in history. It reached its territorial, military, economic, and political peak around 3rd Century in the Third Aeon. At the height of its territory, it included much of northern Aifilon, Soryun Tribes, the entire Horse Peninsula, the entire Messiar coast, the western part of Nobi Desert, and with the Kingdom of Reia as its puppetstate.

It led the Human Coalition in the Final Wars of the Millenium War where the Lower Demon State was defeated in the Battle of Resus Valley.

## History

### Franzein Conquests

Dominate Franzein's reign was marked by conquest of surrounding territories. He managed to conquer the city states of the northern Messiar coast. He won a lopsided victory against the Svellic Northic tribe in the Battle of Garbos. Dresmedeus and the Greitel Kingdom formed a treaty where 1/3 of its territories would be given to Dresmedeus. Franzein regularly conducted campaigns in the Horse Peninsula where he defeated the Horgian tribes. Conquest was the foreign policy of the reign of Franzein and the entire nation of Dresmedeus was dedicated to the wartime effort making the Franzein Conquests one of the earliest forms of total war.

South of the Dominon of Dresmedeus, the Zabis Kingdom was also expanding its influence and territories. Sometime, there was an incident where Dresmedeus and Zabis were fighting the same tribe. The tribe was defeated and the two armies faced camped in front of each other waiting for orders. Franzein ordered for the tribe to be burned to the ground and killed every men. This action angered the King of the Zabis Kingdom, Zuru, and ordered to raid nearby Dresemedian cities. Franzein ordered a retaliation and send his personal army along with him to the capital of the Zabis Kingdom. After four months of sieging the capital, Franzein managed to tore a hole in the capital and indiscrimanately massacred almost everyone. He captured the King of the Zabis Kingdom and paraded him naked in front of his surviving citizens. Then he beheaded him after the Dresmedians mockingly perform a ritual of the religion of the Zabis for the dead. Franzein then proclaimed himself as the King of the Zabis. He returned home and gave a speech to the people on how he defeated the Zabis Kingdom then he proclaimed himself as the Emperor Dominate of Northern Aifilon.

### War against the Lower Demon State and the Grand Coalition

Franzein died as an accomplised ruler and his death was grieved many of his citizens. His son Reinsgag (later would be called "the Great") ascended to the throne. The attacks of the Lower Demon State worsen every year. Reinsgag's generals lost a portion of Dresmedian land and the harvest wasn't that well that year. Reinsgag ordered every able bodied men to join the army and the whole country to be dedicate to the wartime effort. Reinsgag declared war against the Lower Demon State and proceed to mobilize his army to the nearest fortress which is Khorgan that is occupied by the Demons. The Siege of Khorgan lasted for five months and it ended when the Dresmedian army punctured a hole in the walls and poured inside the fortress. After capturing the fortress of Khorgan, Reinsgag sent another army into the nearest city, the City of Arrarorn. Reinsgag's army suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Demon General Fendeo. Reinsgag noticed that his army alone cannot defeat the Lower Demon State and he decided to unite humanity in what he calls "The Grand Endeavor". He sent letters of requests to every human country he can reach to help him defeat the Demons.

### Greitel Wars of Succession

Emperor Dominate Aristollic claims his inheritance as the King of Greitel by the virtue of his mother, Princess Adaia, the younger sister of the Greitel's last king, Gerd IV. Initially he didn't pursue his claims and allied with the second son of Gerd IV, Prince Gervin. He sent armies to aid Prince Gervin in his claim. Aristollic's backing prove to be a great help for Prince Gervin's claim. Aristollic and Gervin's united army defeated the final claimer for the throne. Gervin was coronated as the King of Greitel and there was a great banquet. Aristollic was personally awarded by Gervin for his great service and help and give the Emperor Dominate some of the finest gifts including a Varus Ruby and a sculpture of the Northern Angel.

Aristollic brought various advisors to King Gervin's court to make sure that he will consolidate his power in the Kingdom of Greitel. Aristollic himself become the main advisor to the king despite the disagreement of Gervin's officials. Slowly the court of Gervin became full of Dresmedians. King Gervin decided to let Aristollic and his sons be the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Greitel.

In the night of the 3rd Day of the 3rd Month in the Year 69 TA, some of Gervin's court officials attended a meeting with King Gervin. When the meeting is finished, as King Gevin opens the door, one of the officials proceeded to stab him in the back instantly killing him. After a week, Emperor Dominante Aristollic was proclaimed as the King of Greitel. The Emperor Dominates of Dresmedeus would continue to become Kings of Greitel for more than a millennia.
