New Kalaidis, Colonial Empire

**New Kalaidis** is the vast colonial holdings of the Kalaidian Empire.

### Lore

By the way, I know what you people were thinking: New Kalaidis stretched from not!Mesoamerica to the "Kalaidian East Indies". You're wrong with that. New Kalaidis is located where Quel'Thalas should've been; the actual Quel'Thalas is located where not!Denmark was located at, surrounded on all sides by the Norsemen. Yes, not!Earth has the exact diameter as that of Byss from Star Wars Legends. That way I can accommodate Northrend, the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, which would be situated in the not!Pacific Ocean. Azeroth would be a region of three continents (plus Pandaria, cuz I neglected it) in the not!Pacific Ocean, situated between the not!Americas and not!Asia.
By the way, the Kalaidian Empire consisted of the following: the Kalaidian Empire proper, Kingdom of not!Egypt, Babylonian Empire, not!Persian Empire, Kingdom of Yavana, Kingdom of Indus, Celestial Empire of T'ien Ch'i, Jomon, not!Scandinavia, Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Mictlan Empire, Mayan Empire and Incan Empire.

After the Kalaidians made landfall in Mesoamerigo, they helped followers of Quetzalcoatl win the civil war in Mictlan against the followers of Huitzilopochtli who sought to maintain the old traditions, afterwhich they would go on to bring the Mayan and Incan empires into the Kalaidian empire. There they made the cities of Borealcan (formerly Colliman, now expanded) in the west and the city of Quetzalcoatlan (formerly Tuxpan, now expanded) in the east. It is through this that the Kalaidians learned of the existence of another continent to the west of Mesoamerigo. After building and dispatching a flotilla for a month the Kalaidians discovered the Mictlans were right: there WAS a continent to the west.

Immediately after this Empress Borealis Norsoutha, the ruler of the Kalaidian Empire, dispatched explorers to see what the new land have to offer. When they returned, it was discovered the continent, called the Eastern Kingdoms, had not only human nations but also different races as well. Choosing a large land inhabited by what would be known as the Amani trolls in the far north of the northern Eastern Kingdoms, she led a fleet and landed there to make contact with them. A series of negotiations ended with the Kalaidians establishing colonies throughout the land north of the Kingdom of Lordaeron as well as the Amani Empire being gradually integrated into the New Kalaidis, a vast colonial holdings spanning from the Sunwell Isle down to the border territories next to Lordaeron.

When news of an unexpected rise of a nation to the north reached the human kingdoms, representatives and soldiers were sent there to investigate and be met by the colonial border troops who had established outposts and forts to keep watch to the south. After learning of this, the rulers of the Eastern Kingdoms requested an audience with their rulers, which included Empress Borealis herself. Their knowing of the existence of a much larger empire and various nations to their east, combined with the conquests the empress herself led, had not only impressed the Easterners but also made them fear for her ambitions despite her uninterested in them. It remains to be seen if she did go to war, or if some salty blokes in the armies or running the viceroyalty decided to bully the Easterners.

### General Overview

New Kalaidis is the vast colonial holdings of the much larger Kalaidian Empire. Consisting of humans, centaurs, minotaurs, high elves, and trolls, it is a colonial empire backed by the armies of the Kalaidian Emiree as well as its own armies. Though under a viceroy, the imperial colonial viceroyalty itself would simply be doing just developing itself in order to be self-sufficient all the while sending taxes to the empire proper. Despite this it has the best armies in the Eastern Kingdoms due to them being highly-trained and equipped as well as being flexible. New Kalaidis, unlike its neighbors to the south, had access to different kinds of magic - Astral and Nature magic are strong here, while Blood magic is restrained).

It is basically a hybrid of LA Marignon, Pythium, Ermor and Arcoscephale, with elements of Jomon, MA Mictlan, MA T'ien Ch'i, The Gathering Sturm's Shinar, and Fourth Age's Cordova. Unlike LA Marignon, New Kalaidis doesn't really have demons that control them.
