History

The Maecodia Confederation is a young culture in an ancient world. Before the Maecodians settled in Seaudyr, they escaped a thousand years of human slavery in a draconic empire on the continent of Shalor. At some point before that millenium (roughly) of captivity, there were ancient empires about which nearly nothing is known. Divination magic and alchemical analysis techniques agree that these lost empires rose and fell repeatedly. These ranged from iron age despotisms to magic-wielding golden ages. Some built castles much like the Maecodians, and some built megalithic fortresses with stones that the Maecodians couldn't even hope for move.   As a result of this long and rich history, archaeologists have made more discoveries and advancements than any of the most brilliant Maecodian innovators.
