Veyard

Geography

Veyard is found on a mostly plateaued continent known for chilly tundra and unforgiving mountain ranges. Dense forests with trees that tower into the sky can be found. The only desert is found deep in the Southern region and spans what could be an entire country in size. The country of Veyard itself on the other hand, is situated primarily in the mid-region of the continent where tundra meets extensive forestland, with minor provinces surrounding it.

History

Veyard is a country older than its rival Levonia itself, and prides itself in an illustrious mystical history spanning millennia in sacred arts of the magical. Veyard is also known for its equally-enigmatic societies, whom are also known for being advanced travelers capable of traversing into lands that invoke the mystery and wonder of Ombs unlike any other. A land of innumerable secret societies, intrigue, and danger, few outsiders to the country have ever survived to retell their experiences. An unknown shift soon led to a rapid unification and expansion of those societies into one large nationstate that soon absorbed rivaling kingdoms and republics adjacent to it. Centuries later, Veyard soon began a more aggressive campaign to increase its Empire and inevitably clashed with the nation of Levonia, sparking extensive wars that have since left both nations in tense relations with each other under the auspices of tenuous treaty agreements. But Levonia would not be the only land the Veyardan Empire would attempt to conquer: the Seastriders of Virginicus also met their invading forces. However, Veyard's interest in Virginicus - and by extension, the Swarm - was halted by the utter decimation of their navy by the clearly superior marine nation. Veyard has since ventured elsewhere: namely, to alternate realms through arcane technological means that saw them involved in affairs on Earth Realm.

A chain of events has led the nation into the brink of a new war after the assassination of the Levonian King Addhis Levon.
