Halshani Empire ((HOWL-SHAW-NEE))
The Halshani Empire was birthed by Salvador Halshani in the year 457 PS, during The Age of Silence. Salvador Halshani was a religious zealot that felt the 450 year silence of The Gods was a sign that man was meant to rule over the land and that the gods were needed no longer. Halshani began expanding his kingdom of Rexeltor into the neighboring kingdoms of Illari and Arterre. While the Illari and Arterre fought valiantly, their efforts were no match for the Rexeltor military for they had the finest forces in the land. By the year 460 PS Halshani and his forces had captured most of the land north of the Arterre Mountains. Their efforts were thwarted, however, by the dwarves within the mountains. The neighboring country of Lamoria aligned themselves with the dwarves of Kols Alps and pushed back the empire. They continue to push back this day.
