The Allorn Empire was formerly the greater power in Aloria, and ruled a significant part of the civilized world for numerous millennia. However, the Cataclysm and [[Wildering]] brought it to an end. In 309 AC, its first Empress [[Talea]] returned, which dramatically changed the world. Successor states to the Allorn Empire, largely Teledden regions, promptly swore allegiance to her, and since then, the reborn Allorn Empire has worked hard on a number of projects. However, the Midnight Order, the spy organization of the Empire, has worked hard to ensure the border between the Empire and the rest of Aloria remains strong. Thus far, oftentimes rumors are all that filters out of this state, and its true goals or long-term plans are unclear. | The Allorn Empire was formerly the greater power in Aloria, and ruled a significant part of the civilized world for numerous millennia.

*'''Leadership and Government''': The Allorn Empire is ruled once more by its first leader, Talea, | *'''Leadership and Government''': The Allorn Empire is ruled once more by its first leader, Talea, an ancient goddess who fell asleep millennia ago for unknown reasons. How she awoke is very unclear, and groups like the [[Suvial]] resist her claims to dominion, believing even if this is the real Talea, she remains a force to reject or resist. The structure beneath Talea in the Allorn Empire is currently unknown. | ||
*'''Populations and Faiths''': The Allorn Empire covers a vast span of territory, with many Races inside its borders. The Teledden dominate, for the nation is in their homelands, while the Fin’ullen are another large population. There are other wide minorities that despite the tyranny of Allorn leadership, seek to live in a generally peaceful realm that is stable. The faith of Estelley has been reinforced across these populations aggressively since Talea returned, though where those loyal to the Allorn dwell is sometimes a mystery as the sites of the greatest temples lie either in the sea, in the hands of others, or in abject ruin. | *'''Populations and Faiths''': The Allorn Empire covers a vast span of territory, with many Races inside its borders.

*'''Relations and Opinions''': The Allorn Empire, while shrouded in mystery since its formation, does have some clear goals in mind. It seems eager, after some time of preparation, to engage the Regalian Empire in a direct conflict, making various probing efforts against local Regalian allies like the Daen Governate to create such an action. They also seem eager to convert Sovereign Ithania to their cause, with whispers of secret emissaries and Midnight spies making their way north. However, the Allorn Empire is also involved in conflicts with the Sendrassian Empire to the south, and in a stalemate three-way war between themselves, the [[Dread Empire]], and the lands of the Suvial. Oddly enough, there has been little indication of hostility toward the Ashal Kingdoms, but many believe this is only a matter of time. | *'''Relations and Opinions''': The Allorn Empire, while shrouded in mystery since its formation, does have some clear goals in mind.
