The Illyrian Empire

'''The Illyrian Empire. 1202 A.D.'''

The Illyrians discovered the land of Therra at the end of the eleventh century. They began a campaign to conquer these new lands to provide for expansion of the growing population and to fuel the stagnant economy. They succeeded in defeating many orc and goblin tribes, laying the foundations of an Empire. The victorious Imperial Legions eventually gained a third of the continent. When the fifth province was settled and the frontier wall completed, the Emperor Gustavus IV declared the Republic an Empire.
