RISE AND FALL OF THE OVERNAN EMPIRE
The sprawling city-state of Overna is the eldest of all cities in Overdark. But their time of glory passed them by over two-hundred years ago. In 1135 CT, a famous Overnan king named Herald Ebonii was tired of governing a single city-state. King Herald desired power and control over the whole of the world. Therefor he declared war on the entire continent. Establishing a draft for all males in his city who were capable of wielding a sword. Forcing them to join the army. A glorious army of over thirty-thousand men where unleashed upon the world. The largest army ever created since the end of the last age. The Overnan Empire was established and had dominion over the vast majority of the continent for over three-hundred years. Until the rise of Dawn and the Crusadrem. Through a series of rebellions and declarations of independence, the empire was dissolved in less then a decade. Leaving Overna a shattered version of its former glory.
