Egron



Egron is a country in the northeast of the eastern continent, though the region is often referred to as "The Empire of Egron" or "The Egronian Territories". At the height of it's empiralism, Egron encompassed Egron, the Moran Wilds (now simply, "Moran"), the Southern Sands, and parts of the west [???]. After a long and bloody war with Hylandal, barbarian tribes in the west joined together and fought off the invading army. Egron, having last many of her soldiers fighting Hylandal, began drafting warriors from Moran. Soon after the Barbarian Wars ended, Moran declared it's own independence. After only 19 months of intense fighting along the River Moran, Egron withdrew it's soldiers. Though no peace agreement has been reached, the two countries are no longer fighting. There still remains some hostility today between Aarbon and Onerin.

In recent events, it has been discovered that a group of elves living in Peshtaed have refused to offer their yearly tribute to the Lord of Egron. Much discussion about the Lord's response has been had, but so far nothing official has come out of Egron Deep. Many expect the lords of egron to send soldiers to Keywall by the end of the year, and yet others believe the New King to be slow to anger, offering Peshtaed a year to deliver it's tribute. More hopeful commentators suggest that perhaps the power of Egron Deep is dwindling, and that soon all cities and regions under it's control will be able to refuse to pay the hefty tribute and be free of the enigmatic and mysterious government.

Mysterious Government
The center of Egronian government lies in the Valley of Lords, where there is rumored to be a grand palace known as Egron Deep. Egron Deep is surrounded on three sides by a mountain range with three grand peeks, simply known as "The Lords of Egron". The valley lakes flow into a strange and mysterious woods simply called "The Egronian Walds". These regions are guarded by a special group of rangers called the An'ka Nal.

The royal family issues all edicts from this valley, though how these decisions are made is unknown to the general public. In fact, the names and identities of the royal family are kept secret from all but the officials in charge of each region. When a member of the royal family dies, the An'ka Nal light great torches from the three highest peeks in the Lords, extinguishing them only when a New King is chosen. This process has lasted for a few short minutes, nearly 15 years, and everything in between.
