Falkschwarz

An aggressive, expansionist nation that is very young in the Fifth Age, Current Age. When a king in the Northern Reaches fell ill, the rulership went to his only son that saw his neighbors as enemies and went on a warpath. This decimated the Duchy of Urian as they weren't prepared for it. The king was disposed of and his son as well but the people who took control, didn't want to stop the war but did so out of necessity, buying themselves time. Duchy of Urian had one of the biggest magical academies in the Third Age, Kingdoms and the new rulers were able to find ancient schematics for weapons. In just a couple of years, after The Second Divergence they were able to retake their lost lands and conquer their neighbors with these ancient machines of war. By some, Falkschwarz feels like an incoming disaster but it is ignored by the powerful nations of the Old World.
