Dakhm Empire

Among the dunes and badlands in northeastern, Taretza lies a dictatorial empire that hails from across the ocean.

Structure

There is only one ruler in the Dakhm empire and that is a person known as the Morning Ruler, Mustara Saad who makes all decisions regarding the legislations of the nation. Also of great importance in the empire are five shrines dedicated to chromatic dragons and their head priests are treated with respect and fear.

Culture

In the empire, there is but one major rule, those who can control others and wielding power are right. As a nation whose main religion revolves are a god of tyranny, it is not surprise that those who take from others gain the greatest benefits.

History

The Dakhm Empire was first founded in Ishkar, but during the Great Collapse, they lost large parts of their territory. This later caused them to be handily defeated by another nation, causing them to flee from Ishkar. Since then they have taken residence in the deserts of northeastern Taretza and are slowly rebuilding their once-great empire. The fact that they are not a newly formed country, with ties largely from other places than the rest of the nations that reside in the New World, makes them culturally very different. They are a very isolated country that mostly sticks to themselves and inside of their city walls.

Religion
