The Weslayan Empire
Weslaya
This country can trace its history back nearly five-thousand years. To a time when (allegedly) dragons dominated all mortal races. During this time the human god Kamerdann was born and cast down their great, reptilian oppressors. This region (most notably marked by the bellowing dragon maw peninsula) became the settling place for most human tribes that fled dragon-controlled lands. And, it has remained humanity’s homeland throughout the ages.
It is said that about 300 years ago, the fairies took interest in the struggling apes, and helped them establish a strong, efficient government. They helped position the first king Wesley into power, and have remained allies to the human throne ever since. The previous king (Wesley VII) decided that his power should be grander in scope, and initiated a policy of aggressive growth and international trade dominance.
While some countries cooperated with the fledgling empire, many others resisted. This conflict resulted in a war that spanned decades, and finally ended when a group of non-human heroes who came to be known as the “Warenders” coordinated a series of precise strikes against Weslayan colonies and other interests.
King Wesley VII died before seeing his world-conquest dreams realized, and his heir promptly withdrew all Weslayan forces and called an end to the nation’s expansionism.
