New Millennial Empire

Asar-Kellanneikast (or the New Millennial Empire) is one of the primary powers in Europa and the most powerful of the human kingdoms. It spans from the shores of the Northern Ocean to the Mountains of Foundation. Its capital is Nyurkail. It's the homeland to the peculiar kelaani ethnos, with their idiosyncratic culture, technology and its own odd wildlife.

Overview
The Millennial Empire, as the name implies and according to its expansive historical records, has stood for a thousand years, coinciding with the beginning of the decline of the Elpian Kingdom and its shrinking south. The Empire is ruled in a centralized manner from the capital at Nyurkail, in the plains of Dalmatt (the "Old Home" in Low Nyarlish), but is divided into five greater provinces, which are all subdivided into smaller regions, based on former kelaani feudal fiefdoms and ruled by noble houses.

This country's core peoples are known for their lack of any affinity with magic, wizards seldom being born at all in their population. As so, historically and currently, the Empire has relied on coherence, cunning, numbers and advanced weaponry to stay relevant militarily, having united themselves and developed more sophisticated logistics than their foes-the Westlings in the lands of Maeror.

The New Millennial Empire is often the technological pioneer among all human kingdoms known, introducing more sophisticated steel-making methods, furthering agricultural science and most importantly - inventing, improving on and utilizing en-masse firearms. In the current year (1226), the Empire has also created an automated transportation system that uses the power of evaporating water to drive a mechanism, that in turn drives a wheeled vehicle along a set of rails - that unlike the one rumoured to be in possession of the Earth-Domain of Kadarys uses no magic to run.

It is mostly Dakkast in beliefs, especially among the nobility and soldiery - the simple, pragmatical and unambiguous faith similar to the cherished Imperial mentality of devotion, reliability, cunning and most importantly - industriousness and thus espoused politically. However, the practice of some other religions is allowed by the government - with mainly Christianity, which has been steadily spreading in the southern regions of the Empire, being tolerated. Crepusculism and Elven worship is mostly frowned on, for political reasons, but no persecutions are usually made against practitioners.
