Idar-Morbach

Idar-Morbach is an old country, predating  Alvyrnia  by three centuries, and once stretched from the Shores of  Blood  to  Simmern . Their empire, the High Kingdom of Idar-Morbach, was at its zenith during the Alvyrnians’ infancy, but was destroyed by the successive invasions of the  Naziki . Most destructive, however, were the  Yakmaki , who bred dragons and dragonriders; and a hundred-and-twenty years, ago, the great conqueror Altan destroyed the High Kingdom when he came down from the northeast. Though his own Empire dissolved after his untimely death, Idar-Morbach was never able to recover, and their old provinces fell into disarray and constant warfare. Now, all that remains of the Kingdom of Men is its old core province, relegated to the position of Archduchy after it was subjugated by the Alvyrnians. Its people are dogmatic, convinced of their own superiority, and lustful after the power they once knew. They also have a deep hatred for the Yakmaki; for the men of the sea do not forgive nor forget.
