Greater Dienstad

Greater Dienstad was founded during the War of Golden Succession by the Second Empire of the Golden Throne as a "replacement" to Imperial Armies, which some considered had died during the internal demise of Guffingford. Greater Dienstad is best known for its larger powers, including the Second Empire of the Golden Throne, Hailandkill, Stevid and various others. It's also known for the dozens of landscapes which are so un-naturally linked together in the region, including massive and sprawling rainforests spawning next to extensive deserts. The emergence of polar enviroments so close to each other, and with no apparent explenation, has also led to the growth of multiple cultures and nations in the islands that make up the region.

Etymology

The origin of the region's name is as much a power play as anything else. During the War of Golden Succession one of the powerful players, Guffingford, fell apart due to foreign conspiracies, internal dissension and military pressure for various adversaries. The result was a vacuum, and it was not long before the other superpowers of the region worked to reorganise it to their liking. In the end it was the Second Empire of the Golden Throne which succeeded, renaming the region Greater Dienstad as a manifestation of their attempt to stamp the region as their own backyard. It succeeded, albeit post-war, and most of the nations by the end of the war accepted the regional name although it didn't necessarilly mean that they agreed to an Imperial hegemony over the region. Nevertheless, Greater Dienstad had stuck. Originally, Dienstad was the core of the Empire, although the capital was moved to Fedala after the Great Civil War and it signifies Imperial power. For that very reason it becomes an ideal option for the renaming of a region which is supposedly under the guidance of the Second Empire, even if it's not necessarilly true. But until the next major regional war it does not seem as things are going to be changing very soon.

The word Dienstad comes from the God Dientór, old God of War of an ancient kingdom known as Manaleth during the pre history of the region, which occupied roughly the area of modern Dienstad. The Empire has been destroyed and created twice from war. It would only be an apt title!
