Three Great Empires

The Three Great Empires of Anderia, Aldera and Ibbathis were the successor states formed by the fragmentation of Edos' Thousand-Year Empire. The God-Emperor's death, which ended the Second Age, was an event his Empire was entirely unprepared for. The subsequent infighting fractured Edos' immense domain into three pieces; while each Empire claimed to be the true continuation, the three cultures grew quite different over the course of the Third Age. The Eastern dominions of Edos became Ibbathis, the South Aldera, and the West Anderia. Historians dispute the place of the Sethurian Quai Empire in the Third Age and among the Great Empires; while initially a mere puppet of the Elven Centharii Dominions in the aftermath of Edos' death, the Quai rapidly rose to prominence as an independent human empire rivaling the Three Successors.
