Lophern

Summary

Lophern has seen its fair share of fighting throughout its lifetime. Its numerous civilizations and nations have vied over its bountiful lands time-and-time again, but it wouldn't be until the age of the Imperium would its face be forever changed. In what would later become Tyrant's Sea, Lophern itself once shared a single landmass with Aerthen, Etzli Cuauhtla, Votyoger, and Dorvar. When the the World Gate exploded, its continent sundering force tore Lorphen's heart out virtually in an instant. Only a thin strait of land connected it to Aerthen still, and it'd lost all contact with Etzli Cuauhtla, Dorvar, and Votyoger.   This is to speak nothing of those who suffered under the Imperium's rule. With Imperious having trounced Aerthan and Nerzin, her invasion through the northwest was rather late in beginning. Believing the rumors to be just tall-tales, many nations offered up a stiff resistance, only to meet the full force of Imperious' and her armies. Befitting of their loss, the many peoples of Lophern served as heel-licks and slaves to the dragons for centuries. Worse, their later downfall did not see a peaceful reunion. Being as near to the blast zone as they were, much of Lophern choked to death in the Great Darkness, forcing many to emigrate.   A century and a half later, with the clearing of the choking clouds came the return of Lophern's wayward children. A great land-rush followed, backed by interested powers in Immensio, Aerthen, and Dorvar. With a return to stake their claim on ancestral lands, war inevitably came after, and Lophern found itself with war upon war. The resulting resurgence of undead eventually left the entire continent in a precarious position. Many nations refuse to let go of their ancestral lineages, but pinned between their enemies and the undead, few wars have been successful. In the modern day, Lophern is in a sort of cold war, with many powers waiting for the right opportunity to secure a lasting victory.
