Five Things to Know About This Country:

1. 1000 Years of One Rule: Persia is an Empire over 1000 years old and was led throughout most of that time by Ixion the Everliving, an immortal ruler who was succeeded by his daughter. Nobody knows what happened to Ixion.
2. Tyranny of the Light: Ixion devoutly followed the faith of Elbereth and banned all other faiths, elevating Queyna to a high status. Empress Mahin has begun to reform and change this.
3. Patriotic Fervour: With Empress Mahin allowing the worship of spiritual faiths, many eager supporters have flocked to try every religion and faith; to show loyalty or just out of curiosity.
4. Ageless Nobility: The descendents of Ixion have proven to be incredibly long lived humans, with some speculating his daughter may be equally immortal.
5. Fearsome Military: Persia is renowned for the “Hands of Mahin”, the fearsome military, enforcers and spies that answer only to the Empress.
