## Information

### A Dark Inception: Dictator General Graffsky

The roots of the Graff Empire trace back to Dictator General Graffsky, a military commander in a previous human kingdom. Through cunning and ambition, Graffsky amassed power and, with a ruthless determination, killed the king he was supposed to be loyal to, usurped his throne and forged his empire. Under his iron-fisted rule, the Graff Empire grew in might and dominance, becoming a formidable force in the world.

### Suppression of Religions and the Ahadawineti Faith

One of the defining features of the Graff Empire's regime was its relentless suppression of religions. Among these, the Ahadawineti faith, a monotheistic belief system revered for its emphasis on compassion, unity, and the pursuit of knowledge, was particularly targeted. Places of worship were desecrated, religious leaders persecuted, and the practice of faith driven underground.

### A History of Genocide

The Graff Empire's legacy is further tainted by a history of brutality and atrocity. Over the course of its existence, the empire is responsible for more than 20 genocides, with countless lives lost and entire populations decimated. These horrific events, marked by their systematic and deliberate nature, left deep scars on the world's collective memory.

The genocides carried out by the Graff Empire were fueled by political agendas, religious persecution, and the consolidation of power. The horrors perpetrated by the empire have left an indelible mark on the history of the world, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked authoritarianism.

Despite massive propaganda efforts, majority of the Graff population hates the government and is waiting for the day another country invades and liberates the land.

### Invasion of Demon Lands

Collecting all of his power, General Graffsky invaded the Karlusmagina Empire, and took most demon lands under control. The Graff Empire's invasion of demon lands was marked by ruthless aggression and an unrelenting pursuit of dominance. Graffsky's forces swiftly overran the demon territories, their military might overwhelming the defenders. The invasion led to the occupation of vast regions that had once been part of the Charlmann Empire, driving its people to the brink of despair. As the Graff forces tightened their grip on demon lands, the inhabitants were subjected to a reign of terror. Widespread atrocities, including the suppression of religions and the ruthless suppression of the Ahadawineti faith, left a mark of suffering and desolation across the demon lands.

### Great Liberation War

A direct descendant of Karlus Magina, Jeanette de Charlmann, motivated by a deep sense of duty and her love for the empire and its people, embarked on the Great Liberation War, a defining moment in the empire's history. Under Jeanette's guidance, the Charlmann Empire successfully resisted the Graff Empire's occupation, liberating demon lands and reclaiming lost territories. The empire emerged from the shadows of occupation, renewing its commitment to the Ahadawineti faith and cultural heritage. The empire's revival under Jeanette de Charlmann marked the rekindling of its legacy, its resilience, and its commitment to safeguarding its interests.
