The Empire of Rythia

Rythia (or The Old Empire), is a long-dead empire of the days before Exile.

Description
Rythia was once one of the strongest empires in the world, conquering all of The Fairlands in it's height of power. A lot of Rythia's history has been lost to time as much of those alive in the Empire had died in The Vire Cataclysm and the Empire's main cities lay in dangerous ruins. Historians have been able together that Rythia was as ruthless as it was prosperous. The Empire was also Human ruled and very oppressive to the races it had conquered. It is assumed that Rythia had something to do with The Vire Cataclysm during a time of civil war, but this is only a popular theory. It's capital The Vale of Swords lays as a dangerous ruins covered in Vire. Other monuments to the dead empire can be seen all over The Exiled Abyss. One of the most well known monuments are the six The Rythia Towers.
