North of the Blasted Lands, lie similar fertile lands, separated by a low mountain range. The peoples of these lands were organized into a nation by a being from another plane known only as the Eternal Emperor. The Brupek Empire has existed in roughly its current size and location for over two thousand years, predating the arrival of the Dieni onto this plane. It stayed independent through their entire existence and through his power and wisdom the Eternal Emperor kept the Brupek Empire out of the Dieni-Illyrian war. The mountains protected the lands from the magical holocaust that produced the Blasted Lands.
This is the largest organization of the Cyllian Sea now, with over a million inhabitants. The fertile lands provide plenty of food and the bureaucracy of the empire assures distribution of resources. It even boasts a meritocracy of sorts where all children are born into the lowest caste and move up as their abilities and skill allows. In theory, the child of a peasant can become a district magistrate. In reality, life is not quite so equitable of course. Corruption is common in the system with petty bureaucracy lining their pockets and bribing other officials to advance their own families interest.
Small client states have formed around the periphery of the Brupek Empire after the fall of the Dieni Empire. They are in constant threat from external threats which the Brupek Empire offers the minimal support to keep them solvent. The goal is clearly to keep those client states as buffers to external threats.
While the Brupek Empire faces no external threats to its existence, the constant infighting between the higher diplomats, governors, religious leaders, and leading trade families are a constant source of threat.
A new philosophical wave has been embrace by many, referred to as the Empty Way. It is a philosophy that embraces solipsism as central tenant, but the magical reinforcement that allows the devotee to create a real gap between themselves and others that can be leveraged for advantage.
