Ibladesh (Realm)

This article outlines the realm Ibladesh. For the region of Ibladesh, see Ibladesh.

What once stood as the testimony to the days of the old, what once defied the cruelty of time, now stands dead and devoured. Empire of Ibladesh was destroyed by the combined forces of Perdan and Caligus.

The Holy Lands of Ibladesh are home to a pantheon of gods who guide and protect the nobles of this mighty realm. The pantheon includes: Ramsus - The Overlord - patron god of all Leaders and Mentors; Sartan - God of War - patron god of all Warriors and Heroes; Tersea - Goddess of Trade and Economics - patron goddess of all Traders and Courtiers; and Kokini - Goddess of Stealth and Mischief - patron goddess of the Infiltrators and servants of the shadows.

The central teachings of the Church Of Ibladesh is the realization and understanding that the gods' forces are present in the mortal world, in many shapes and forms. The Church encourages all to reflect on their own spiritual nature and needs, and that by choosing the patron god all nobles are to take an active part in safeguarding the faith, the realm and her people.

May your life's journey bring you to our lands and may Ramsus guide you, may Sartan protect you, may Kokini smile upon you and may Tersea lend you wisdom.

The preserved text of the history of Ibladesh is obscure and very sporadic. Timeline:

Age of Darkness
In the days of old, before the Faith came to man, Ibladeshians were republicans and pagans.

First Age of Enlightement
The Faith is born. The Gods have revealed themselves!

Age of Turbulence
Plagued by the wars of the South, Ibladesh stands on the brink of destruction.

Second Age of Enlightement
With rise of great men of the Church the Empire strikes back and overruns Itorunt. The South is conquered. Ibladesh expands like never before becoming the greatest realm on the continent.

Fall of the Empire
Greed of our leaders and disfavor of the Gods brought destruction and plague upon the lands of Ibladesh. Cornered and destroyed by the realms of Caligus and Perdan, the Empire of Ibladesh is no more.

Extracts from the University of Light in Ibladesh, while the copies are sent to the libraries in Al Arab, Xavax and Itorunt. Through the course of history these are the only written evidences that have been preserved by the nobility. They speak of a turbulent past and different eras, days of glory and days of the weak, betrayals and astonishing deeds done by the sons of Ibladesh throughout the lands of the East Continent.

Map of Ibladesh: [1]

The theocracy of Ibladesh is located on the southern edges of the East Continent. The capital of Ibladesh, which is often referred to as the White City, is the largest bustling megalopolis the world has ever seen. Due to her enormous population the starvations are often for the peasants and the markets sometimes willing to pay for food more than for any other good. To the north the city is protected by the mountains of the Raqqah River and the Great Southern Sea is protecting her southern shores.

Around the White City the Empire of Ibladesh is built. To the north-west lies the city of Al Arab which gathered the surrounding regions into a small Duchy. The lands there are very rich with food which makes them rather important area. To the south-east lies the city of Xavax, a small sea port which has gathered the surrounding regions into a small, but very rich Duchy. Xavax Duchy as a whole is a major trading area which successfully exchanges the goods between much larger Isadril and Itorunt, thus making a hefty profit.
