Empire of Assuria
Assuria is hilly throughout most of its area, running from the foothills of the Zakros Mountains to the fertile river plain south of the capital city of Ashur. Its golden age as an empire has passed, but it is still a collection of strong cities that work together in defense and trade. The Assurians are feared by all for their savage and bloodthirsty tactics on the battlefield, skills which led them to conquer the entire area of Istaflumina and hold it for 300 years.
Certain less-civilized folk also reside inside the territory claimed by Assuria. In the northern hills, past the city of Kutsana, are the Thurrians. Southwest, toward the great desert, are the Arramians who attack from the desert at sunset, hit a city or caravan, and then fade back into the desert with their plunder. Important campaigns were carried on against the Arramians in the past, and some suggest they have strongholds hidden in the desert, which is how they are able to survive such assaults by the Assurians time after time.
