Otrochos

What was once merely a border fortress to guard against the icy dangers of the far west has become a font of tyranny and war. Otrochos has spent the past few decades consolidating power, arranging and empowering its forces, and then striking in a far-ranging campaign that has so far been successful over the majority of the Reverzel continent. Despite the severe individuality of the settlements of the west, Otrochos now claims the lands from Douloros to Sorropia as the kingdom of Arx Tyrrim, and pushes further every month. The source of their military might is their alchemical expertise and the rich sources of reagents within the tunnels of the mountains that they call home, and their terrifying war machinery is the pinnacle of innovation across Reverzel - and, if the fears of the other continents are true, across the entire world.
