The Darion Imperium
The current Imperium is the reincarnation of its former self; back when The Imperium of Avanor held power over almost the entire continent of Avanor. It was the first human nation in Arganorh, having been founded a few centuries after the fall of the exalted alliance during the age of demons, and weakend by at the hands of the human tribes and orcish clans.
The Imperium of Avanor grew strong and expanded with ruthless intent; all in the service to The Nymerian Pantheon the human centric gods that watched over them at the time. But after Andarien's rise to power, and her Divine Rebellion, the old Imperium was doomed to fall, and in its ashes were reborn the New Imperium; today simply referred to as the Imperium, or the Darion Imperium.
While the The Imperium of Avanor had ruled over most of Avanor, the New Imperium only holds a small fraction of its previous territories. Following reclaimed the lands of Avinter, Danthivia, Dathrien and Cal'anor, and vassalization of The Kingdom of Gildas into the Imperium's fold.
Since then, the Imperium has been a true power amongst the nations of Avanor, and is only truly challenged in terms of its might and influence by the Valaísian Empire. The two nations have thus become active rivals in all things worth competing for, and in recent years the two have grown far more hostile as the threat of war has begun to linger in the air.
