The Kingdom of Makan is one of the most wealthy nations in the Veiled World, and along with the Aparni Kingdom also one of the most influential in controlling trade between the Western Lands and Eastern Lands. Their influence is much greater than their size would indicate, which has unfortunately also resulted in the forces of darkness giving them more attention.

In conjunction with the Kingdom of Makan, the Aparni Kingdom is also one of the most influential in controlling trade between the Western Lands and Eastern Lands. Their influence is much greater than their size would indicate, which has unfortunately also resulted in the forces of darkness giving them more attention. As a result, the two nations have established a world spanning network of agents and assassins who hunt down and eliminate threats to their safety and stability before they can harm their people.

Home of the most powerful and vilest practitioner of the dark arts, the Great Necromancer Maz-Torgoth, the Empire of Maz-Torgoth has inflicted pain and suffering across the Veiled World for over a millennia. Their agents lurk in every nation, and are rumored to pursue their evil agenda on other worlds. Within their own borders, their citizens worship Maz-Torgoth as the Great Father, and are fed a steady diet of lies, convinced that they are the true, the just and destined for glory. It is the outsiders who are corrupt, depraved and worthy only of contempt.

To the west of the Akkyrian Empire is their long rival and ally Mayda.  The Mayda Empire has long opposed the Empire of Maz-Torgoth since escaping his dominion over 1300 years ago. Here is a nation profile for the Mayda Empire,with entries for the Kingdom of Aparni and Kingdom of Makan next in line.  These nations are the core of trade and travel between the Western Lands and Eastern Lands, and in one form or another, some of the oldest nations in the Veiled World.

One of the oldest enemies of Maz-Torgoth is the ancient empire of Akkyria, lying along his southern border.  Here is a nation profile for the Akkyrian Empire, soon to be followed by entries for the Maydan Empire, Kingdom of Aparni, Kingdom of Makan, and other nearby states.  These nations are the core of trade and travel between the Western Lands and Eastern Lands, and in one form or another, some of the oldest nations in the Veiled World.
