Yimmu-Audal (Jagdas)

Geography and Description:
The First Empire of Yimmu Audal was an island Empire surrounding the Great Spawn during the time of the First Era prior to a global cataclysm which destroyed all of Jagdas. It consisted of its capital: the town of Shyr-Arrak, which was distributed across several islands, its only colonial town settlements of Bishara-Shurud and Nergassad. Most of the nation's population, however was distributed across a multitude of other towns which joined the Empire peacefully via diplomatic means and which are located on surrounding islands and coastal areas to the capital and subsequently joined towns.

Today, the remnants of the Empire have migrated to the world of Rathnir, where the nation has lost much of its prestige, but is once again rapidly rebuilding.
