Imperio de Toros

The modern Empire of Toros (Imperio de Toros) is the largest nation in the eastern hemisphere, on the continent of Domia bordered to the north by Sennia and Veten, and to the south by Moldova and the United Republic of Novia across the sea.

History
Approximately 10,000 years ago the Empire was first formed when the king of a human kingdom and queen of an elven kingdom married. This nation, ruled by half-elves quickly amassed the strongest military by conquering and integrating neighboring kingdoms, including members of all races. This ability to exploit the capabilities of different groups (dwarven industry, etc) made Toros a powerhouse that was quickly able to conquer Domia and Victoria.

Eventually, the Emperors of Toros lost their grip on the colonies and 1,197 years ago the empire collapsed, with only the Torosi homeland and earliest core expansion areas remaining a part of the empire. This event forms year zero in the AF (after fall) calendar. Over the years since then, a series of dynasties and invaders have conquered and then been integrated into Torosi culture, but the Empire is a shadow of its former power.
