Introduction
The Unbroken Empire, sometimes known as the Beleran Empire, was and still remains the most powerful nation ever built on Atharen. At its greatest extent, it encompassed nearly forty percent of the global landmass, including all of Calanon, most of Vividim and Lukhan, the region of Daravin, Radenor, Koltoska and Sil-Elaine, as well as its capital province of Mithira, which no longer exists. The Beleran Empire expanded over the course of nearly six hundred years, founded amidst the collapse of the Elven Kingdom of Silor and expanding based on what were — originally — principles of human nationalism, stoked by centuries of slavery beneath the boot of the Ashen Elves.
Over time, the Unbroken Empire traded those principles for a new, Beleran Enlightenment doctrine, focused on bringing prosperity to the people and races of the world without necessary oversight or intervention from the Gods. As the political system of the Empire developed, a council of twelve Draedan eventually monopolized power within the state, and with the growth of their reach the Empire gradually shifted to an anti-theocratic force, dedicated to the destruction of the Living Gods' presence on Atharen.
