I will now repost what I wrote. I hope  this clears things up a bit:It seems I've expressed my intentions unclearly. That is because until now they have been. I've toyed with an idea of playing as the ruler of Rauxes, who in the magical cataclysm of the battle of Rauxes became merged with the essence of a pit-fiend. The legion of this pitfiend then would have split and the smaller part being thrown out of Hell with its ruler and invading Ahlissa to reestablish the rule of the Ivids. But this was not to be. Instead I decided on a more down to Oerth approach. I will not post the details of the back-story now but essentially what happened is this (if Edena approves). 30 years ago a plan was set into motion. After 6 years that plan led to fruition with the overthrow of the political leadership of Greater Ahlissa and the emergence of a new power-structure. This new system was quite similar to the Stalinism of the Soviet 1930s and 40s, without the workerclass rethoric and rampant incompetence but with a solid government control of all factors of the citicen's lifes. This enabled a massive economical and military mobilization. Society was still medieval in technology but the burocracy was approaching 20th-century levels. Another 6 years later massive armies marched into the Northern Province of Aerdy and there became embroiled in a lengthy and horribly expensive war of attrition. After 6 years all of the North was finally under government control but the proud armies of The great Empire of (Aerdy/Aerdi (sp?)) were exhausted and society was showing signs of collapse. 1 year later this social tention exploded into a popular revolt in the north which raged on for five years before it was utterly crushed. After this the Emperor solidified his control of the country and started to undermine the established religions, many of which had supported the uprising. The Great Empire of Aerdi once again grew steadily in power and now stands ready to go to war once again.If it was not entirely clear before I shall make it so now; I claim the rulership of the Great Empire of Aerdi (Ahlissa, Rel Astra, northern Aerdi and Medegia). I do this to cut down on the number of empty chairs in the thread and for my own selfish pleasure.</blockquote>
