Rudian Shaardom

The Rudian Shaardom, in its current iteration known as the Aftalshan Empire, or popularly known as the Rudian Empire in the west, is a sovereign state located in the Kabarun. It is one of the Four Great Powers and a member of the Council of Four. Although Rudia is often considered the most insignificant of the powers in terms of technological and economic strength, its society is one of the most militarized in the world, allowing Rudia to punch well above her weight, as evident in her several wars with Casary and the Amunavids.

A heavily conservative and militaristic society, it is ruled by the Shaar, an almighty warrior-king. The Shaars are all descended from the line of Kuruz and Arkos, many of them possessing immense strength and stature.
