About Abirria
Welcome to the Abirrian Empire, made of five nations and the eldest empire in the last 20,000 years. A realm of high magic, the greatest arcane studies, and the greatest united society in the world. Always at war with Aevorr on their western border, the Abirrian empire is considerd one of the greatest defenders in Abraeas’Dor.
The Five Nations of Abirria
Originally seven nations there are five the still remain after abirria’s storied history. The five nations are as follows;
Quennia
Keptreonnem
Viinmeck
Harall
Beprioch
The nations founded throughout Abirria’s 20,000 year history in Abraeas’Dor, founded originally by the arrival of Arsham and Habrintom, twin supreme gods who rebirthed the dead plane after the fall of Ancient Aevorr and the end of their cosmic reign of terror.
The nations each held something of great importance at one time or another, have undergone many changes, and more have appeared and disappeared throughout recorded history, with these five absorbing others in the modern era.
