Agate

## The Agate Empire

Agate is vast empire spanning a majority of the world. It spans over 16 nations and has complete political power over said nations. The Agate Empire was formed over ---- years ago by the great leader, warrior, and king Augatious Esteria in a plan to conquer the world. While he successfully took most of it. He passed away before he could sail the ocean to what is now "The United American Nations" After he had finally returned to his capitol of Allius he spent the rest of his life in Avalon. ( The current castle of the ruling King)

During Augatious's travels he discovered the secret of longevity. (eden and her blood) He claimed it for himself and all whom rule his land. He named this power "*The Truth*." (the truth being that Eden lives.) A name that eventually carried over to "*The True King*" and "*The True Queen.*" It is said that those who possess this title are given an additional 1000 years to their death clock, giving them enough time to truly rule their empire.

## Augatious Esteria's Glorious Lands

Each time Augatious conquered a part of the world, he would name the newfound land after a variety of things. Most of which were women he had claimed as his lovers.

Below is a list of all sixteen nations of Agate.

### Asylum

Asylum is simply as massive prison island, hence the name. Agate being so huge, all of the major criminals are shipped off to Asylum to pay their debts and serve their time.

### Berma

Being so far from Solaris, this nation is rather poor and works very hard to sustain itself. Most of it's support comes from Gilda, the merchant city in Kalima. While on the other hand, it is so close to The UAN that nearly all direct trades are shipped through the great bridge there. Berma has a large overflow of population due to all the immigrants from The UAN and The Wastelands.

### Carmine

Home of the Elves and all Elf subspecies, this is a place of wonder and exotic culture. While outsiders are not typically welcomed with open arms, its main city Orion is a tourist spot for all travelers of Agate. While most of the nation is barren and uninhabited, the elves have huge cities and spanning linked colonies.

### Cynah

Two small islands right next to Solaris. With dense population and the massive city university of Kagutsuchi. It is full of intellectuals and intelligent people. With the largest school in the world, it has such a diverse range of people. From humans, to beastkin to abnormal races it is one of the most interesting cultures.

### Iona

Being in the center of Agate, it has the largest population at just over 2.2 billion. This is a nation of progress and academia. With the second best economy and the best schools, Iona is a thriving nation that is almost completely independent of Solaris.

### Jaazera

This nation is in the south of the empire. It's one of the least populated of all the nations with only 240 million people. The place is more of a mining colony with oil, metals, gems, and more valuable things. The nation is rather poor in comparison to a nation like Iona, which is known for big business and schools.

### Japan

A spanning island that is city after city. This nation is the world capital for technology and digital enterprises. The nations people live more in their computers and online than they do in the real world. It is very much a booming nation with some of the most consistent income

### Juno

Juno is mostly a desert, but there are cities that are elegant domes that have their own climates, weather and even their own seasons.The most impressive of which is Val'Jun, the capital of Juno. This nation is the home to many famous heroes and villains throughout history. Juno is populated mostly by Junoions, a race of human that are very pale, and have orange-red eyes. They are commonly confused with vampires.

### Juperos

Juperos is a snowy land with harsh weather and brutal cold. In spite of this, the nation is proud and independent. The citizens have learned to grown crops and thrive in the unrelenting cold. It has one of the largest cities in Agate, Anniu. This city alone is home to more than 30 million people. It is home to many of Agate's military fortresses. Most are abandoned and run down, since the nation is under a long standing peace. Still some still run as part of a mandatory law. In the northern end, there are many labs and science observatories within the mountains.

### Kalima

This is home to Magicae Draíochta (M.D.), a massive city-state home to all magic. It's home of the mage guild and almost all magic is taught here. In the southwest corner of the nation resides Gilda, a massive merchant city. It's right on the border of Juperos, Iona, and Kalima. It's central location is ideal for trading and has one of the richest population.

### Lyliac

A group of ice islands with next to no population. It is in all reality empty space.

### Mysa Islands

The spread out islands and unique floating cities, this nation is home to the merfolk and even has an under water palace. The land itself is most underpopulated, with only a few homes scattered around for the rich playboy and movie star. Mysa Islands are far enough away from Solaris, that the rule they enforce is lax and not taken seriously, instead most of their laws come from Iona

### Nima

A fair sized land mass directly connected to Juperos and Solaris. Being so close to the capital, it is a well off nation with no real special qualities about it. Aside from having pop stars and good food, Nima is a rather unnoticed place.

### Shyma

So far away from Solaris, or any major city in Agate, it's a wonder it's even connected to the empire. Shyma only has a population of 80 thousand. It's mostly small villages and forest. Sort of a tropical island with resorts for the wealthy. It even has a dock for the cruise liner Sandra.

### Simale

This nation is in the southernmost part of the mainland. The nation is full of large ports and a main trading point for shipments with The UAN and Britania. While it actually has a low population, it has a dense group of citizens.

### Solaris

This is the nation at the western side of the empire. It holds the capital of Allius and the Avalon castle. It is home to more than 1.8 billion of the empires residents. The land is beautiful and luscious. Solaris is the current base of operations for The Order of Exxia.
