Empire of Carduth
Massive Empire located East of Orassiss, on the other side of the Bainlund Hills and the Stonepike Mountains. Currently expanding Westwards...perhaps 150 to 200 miles east of Orassis, for now...
Roman Empire on Steroids, Legions backed by Wizards,air calvary (hippogryph);largest land army on ENWorld, though they are spread out in many locations. The force arrayed against Bainlund and Stonepike is rumoured at 10,000...while the Bainlunders have barely 3,000 career soldiers and Stonepike half that (1700 or so). Not an Evil Empire specifically, but an expansionist one that seeks to subjegate and/or assimilate those on it's borders. The last great expanding of Carduth was nearly 40 years ago, when they annexed the Sultanate of Gallipona, a desert dwelling land of spices and horse traders to the South of Carduth.
Carduth is at odds with Herdrallia to the North (Goths/Celts), and seeks alliance withn Rivenblight against that Realm of barbarians. So far, none has manifested except in the most vague of ways, and always to the Elves' advantage.
