Empire of Losaria
Empire of the Black Sun
Provinces
Losaria
The main Province and smallest is that of the capital. Losaria is the land surrounding the Capital city of Iropolis. Its where the title of Emperor of Losaria originally comes from, it also is where the name of the continent comes from. Rich with trade, industry, and farming for the small size they are quite capable of sustaining themselves. The capi
Sarenth
Directly to the north lies Sarenth, which borders the river Irileth its capital is Dellophia. In Sarenth the farmer and the tinkerer are important denizens. The province's main contributions to the Empire is its utilities, inventions and its soldiers. Most recruits from Sarenth are trained somewhere else and then brought back to the province as the most loyal border patrol an empire could ever wish for. Due to their personal connection with the land, they are the ones chosen to keep it.
Serine Valley
The Serine Valley is home to the trading and travelling hub of Serine. Many if not all recruits are sent to the Serine Valley, to Staertdale fort. Working ground for the elite warriors of both the Myrtosian guard, the Order of Balance, the Valiant Guardians and the Legion of Irileth, the Serine Valley is home to the most residents with cities spread across it. There are the harbours of Tineport and Tirion, the farming community of Pellisos, and lastly the Elvish city of Yers Goroth located on the border with Myrto is the hub for the small folk in the Empire. The region of the Valley is marked by rolling hills, lush forests and large fields of grain. Cities like Serine and Pellisos are located on the banks of freshwater lakes bringing and the east coast of the province is the Sunrise crest.
Myrto
Myrto. A name from which the entire country hails its name. Myrto encompasses the south of the continent. The capital of Isayth is one of the earliest allies Iropolis has known and remains to be its strongest companion in the world. The woods of Myrto are old and touched by the Wildmother. The area is full of ancient fallen sites and temples. There is no official magic school in the Empire but there are independent people who offer their educational services to those that do not wish to go or send their children to Trodworth.
Vildrun
Vildrun. The largest province isn't a province at all, on paper and in most civilians' minds it is an autonomous province but any official high enough on the chain of command Vildrun is a puppet state held aloft by promises. The empire keeps an iron grip on the Wilds beyond the mountains. The wood-elves of the Wild are a separate council and follow the direct will of Emperor Tissareth. The Wilds of Vildrun is a council of representatives made up of the various druidic orders, villages and the cities of Moonscar and Esmershys

Demography and Population
the Losarian empire is a diverse land where the common races of Dungeons and Dragons live. However, the more monstrous races feel uneasy living in the empire, thus they are less common.
- The most common form of elf is the Dawn elf.
- The most common dwarf is the Hill dwarf that hails from Muriax. There are mountain Dwarves they are in smaller numbers.

- Valiant Guardians
- Myrtosian Guard
- Legion of Irileth
- The Anakrisi
Religion
The Empire follows strict enforcement of the Alliance of dawn. Entities like the Anakrisi or the Servants of the Wheel exist to sus out fanaticism of The Dark Pact, being a Whisperer is outlawed, this means that any form of religion, or zealous behaviour around the Dark Pact is a highly punishable offence. Folk religions and Cults like those who follow fey and nature spirits live in scrutiny.
Foreign Relations
Mytosian foreign relations are known to be vigilantly hostile. They are hostile to Thereus for the revolution, they are indifferent to the Triplets as they see them as unimportant players on the larger geopolitical stage.
They recognise Thereus' power and move carefully as to not provoke war. Thereus takes a very active stance against Myrto's hold of Vildrun, claiming the Wilds would prosper independently or even as a part of the Republic. Prime Counselor Jon Renfric recognises that Vildrun is a puppet state but he believes that oppression through the empire is better than the fake promise of being a province in the Republic of Thereus.
- "Giving the elves of Vildrun their own autonomous council under the crown of the Empire is valuable. We've created a society in those woods where the belief of safety comes through the taxes and military presence we provide."
- "Take Löften, the Auralians, the Ravens, they've taken a piece of desert and oasis and called it a meaningful addition to their realm. While their colonial forces export fine fabrics and missionaries from Achra-Zarkan the Dwarves of Dashingfall in the east are speaking of rising up with their brothers from Gaelia, the elves of Arnfell are starving in their woods for unknown reasons. They hold The Jewel of The Night but can't keep their riches at home alive."
Education
Every larger town has some form of general education, after a certain age, the children of the realm are allowed to continue learning at what is called a Mastership, learning a specific craft. In the cities of the empire, there are libraries and universities, the biggest of these being in Isayth and Iropolis.
Magical education is expected to be followed at the Trodworth Institute of Magic and Wizardry. This is not popular as people are then meant to send their children to Thereus. For those up the social ladder, children can follow private education from court mages and royal tutors. Sometimes but not often a Lord or Baron allows his halls to be open for other children in their county to come and study.
Training to fight in the military is done at Staerdale Fort in the Serine Valley, this path does not include adventuring. Staerdale is meant for the training of military personnel, Guards and special battalions. Those that wish to become adventurers or dungeoneers must travel to Kethas and follow training under the Golden Cloaks. One does not have to travel all the way to become an adventurer in Losaria within most cities and outside more of them, the Golden Cloaks have camps stationed all throughout the continent.
Infrastructure
Losaria is ancient therefore they adapted to certain types of plumbing, road networks and architecture fairly early in the individual cities however quickly after Isabella of Eraseth rose to power she made it standard for the realm to stay parallel on developments, following them with great intent.
