Empire of Escharia

Etscharien History
Etscharien, (also known as the Eastern Empire, Escharien, and Esaria) is a state in the Northeast of the world of Rathnir. Etscharien is a nation dominated by the Etscharien culture group which consists of the subcultures Riede, Hoce, and Niedere. The capital of the nation is Kaiserslicht (Light of the Emperor.) The nation was founded by Auberon I according to the lore of the Etscharian people. Every ruler since the founding has been of the von Aspach dynasty, with the current Emperor Siegfried von Aspach ruling from the capital city of Kaiserslicht. The Etscharian religion, Soleannen, is based off of the worship of Solaris, a deity that symbolizes light and life. The government and culture are dependent on nobility who hold a prominent role in the country from Knights making up the military to the Counts who administer towns. Escharian people are courteous to guests because of culture but do not enjoy hosting non Imperial guests.
