## Territory

The Empire of Shangare comprises its own territory, all of Aglazdere, and one third of the Final Empire. Another third of the Final Empire is overrun by the Deep Ones of Atlantis, while the final third is held by King Ludwig of Ragnarok. Both Emperor Kuldeep of Shangare and the Deep Ones wish to conquer Thunderdome for themselves.

## Government

Shangare is divided into twelve Provinces, each led by a governor. The governor of conquered Aglazdere is permitted to call himself the Grand Vizier, while the conquered portion of the Final Empire refers to the governors as the Lords. The old rajahs of Shangare had a Grand Vizier who were chiefly concerned with with revenue and finance; in Kuldeep's state, the title is held by Yoram Crescens who has been concurrently appointed as the governor of Aglazdere. There is also the leader of Shangare's military, who holds the title Captain-General, as well as the High Steward, who directs stores, ordinance, and communications, and finally the Lord Chief Justice, who attends to religious matters, charities, and endowments. In Kuldeep's Shangare, the Captain-General is a former bandit, the High Steward is a trap-smith, and the Lord Chief Justice is the rakshasa's foremost warlock. Each of these ministers is also expected to be a governor.

## The Great Awakening

With a reconstituted Aglazdere and the Final Empire, the departure of Annakiya and Toranna, and the loss of the Philosopher's Stone, Shangare collapsed. Kuldeep mysteriously disappeared, and the remaining territory was declared a protectorate of both Aglazdere and the Final Empire. Padishah Shams and Emperor Marnard signed a treaty in which they agreed to jointly administer this new protectorate, and keep it as a buffer between their own nations - which historically had been at war.

## Gods

The people of Shangare worship their own pantheon, while the conquered Aglazdereans honor the Maker, and the conquered Final Imperials honor their own deities. Emperor Kuldeep himself venerates the demon god Ravana. Their representative god on the Holy Council is Ravana.
