Kaverdi

"The old saying, 'Thieves and beggars, united, never shall we die.' is bullshit, may magic unite us!"

- Grand Emperor Sjerek, Kabrilis Grand Hall, 1253 BSS

The Empire of Kaverdi, originally the Kaver Union, was a vast, complex and diverse empire originating from the rough center of the continent, expanding over the modern-day continent of Kavernis, encompassing all major land features and biomes. The empire is one of the most influential nations upon the continents history, pathing its terrain, history, language, culture and future. The empire spanned from South Kavernis to North Kavernis. The empire was around roughly from 13th century BSS to 5th century BSS, going through three major structure types.

The various structures of Kaverdi have earned the empire a long lasting, unforgettable reputation as one of the most powerful states. Multiple times the nation has seen itself play as a continental and global powerhouse, pushing around and demanding things from smaller states among the north coast of Lazzeatir and Lverstwrynn.

Etymology
The first name of the empire was the Kaver Union. The Kaver Union in the native language of the people meant Outcast Union, which one of the theories of how the nation founded supports. The name Kaverdi was officially coined in 1253 BSS with the ascension of Sjerek, with the words Kaver (Outcast) and -erdi (Empire) being joined together to form the name Kaverdi. The first Arcanic Council members as well as Sjerek confirmed and spread the news of the name, which firmly became embedded with the peoples living under the small state at the time.

The name Kaverdi was not the first name to be proposed for the Kaver Union when it was under Sjerek though. The following names were also proposed:


 * Sjen[1] erdi
 * Veks[2] erdi
 * Kabrin Kaver Udeion[3]
 * Wemn[4] erdi


 * 1) Sjen = Wise
 * 2) Veks = Magic
 * 3) Udeion = Union
 * 4) Wemn = Free
