Though the empire came to fragmentation. One of the fragments, Arn, was the most powerful and ambitious - it seized control of the neighboring lands, and carved a nice large swath through the Empire. Even decades after the war, Arn was itching for a fight. Its ruler, its people were arrogant, and the neighbors didn't dare test Arn, instead they just stockpiled and waited.Then one day those at the edges of Arn were under attack; not from the neighbors, but from Something Below. Skirmishes with creatures (I have not specified what they are, Drow, Undead, Psionic Insects, something). Arn sent expeditions to go deep into the earth, where they discovered that these Creatures had amassed a large collective beneath the surface, right under Arn! Arn responded by sending its armies down.The creatures from below came to the surface, inacting a great ritual that plunged the kingdom into forever night, as the creatures hated the sun. They swarmed the kingdom, destroying its armies. Though they did not destroy Arn, merely occupy it; they claimed it as their own.Arn's neighbors launched an offensive, and another war took place, between the creatures, the neigbors, and Arn's resistance. The resulting war was... not good. It was long, taxing, and eventually no side was a clear victor.Arn, still plunged in darkness, was carved into pieces by its hungry neighbors wanting vengeance for the war after the Empire's fall. The creatures still occupied the once proud nation, and its people's wills are crushed beneath their defeat and the weight of their past hubris.Arn's capital was split into three fragments, one controlled by the creatures, one by either neighbor.Too gimmicky/one-dimensional?</blockquote>
