History
About 1000 years ago, Jonathan Nathaniel Drake and his army rose to power in the land that would become Alstitua, which was at the time populated by warring barbarian clans. However, Jonathan aspired to more. He meditated for five days and five nights until he saw in his mind a dragon. He sacrificed his entire clan on a pyre to the dragon, and claimed to have gained knowledge from it. He formed the Draconic language based on the screams of his clan as they burned. He then took on a Draconic name: Nyktos, meaning "of night". He then began looking for followers for his cult. For the next 50 years, Nyktos was called the Scourge. He found the various clans and massacred everyone who did not convert to dragon worship. His followers, as maniacal as him, began searching in other lands. During their searches, they found Paradica. He recruited more followers there, then set off across the sea. It is unknown how many nations he travelled to during his years and how many followers he found. He did this for over 150 years.
Eventually, he and his followers grew weary of their travels. At the time, they were in Aberdeen. They settled where they were, but were driven out by the government of the nation they were in. They began searching for a nation to call their own. Eventually, they found a good amount of unsettled land and settled there. Nyktos wrote all his knowledge in a book he called Leng os Nyktos, or Book of Nyktos. It contained the many potions he had invented, the draconic language, and many more things. He then named his assistant, Raik, as his heir and burned himself on a pyre. Raik cast a vapour above the land, putting it into a dark state, and began forming the society we know today as the empire.
Over the years, many leaders have taken power at various times. The Region of Aberdeen formed during these times, which leader Raik II refused to join. However, after his immolation, his successor Flarshraik III chose to join the region.
