The Iokharic Empire

The first empire of Duenis created by the Dragonborn race.

== The beginning. ==

 Io created the Dragonborn and taught them  the importance of honour and civilisation. They took this to heart and started building cities and expanding out over the surface of Duenis. With Io's help they were able to establish cities in every corner of the land.

== The Iokharic Empire. ==

 Under Io's leadership the Iokharic Empire flourished, their cities were marvels of architecture and magic. With Io's help they had achieved all this in a century and the next century would see them rise to greater heights as their undisputed rule of Duenis allowed them to devote all their time to the worship of Io and earning glory in his name as empire builders.

== The fall. ==  At the end of the Iokharic Empire's second century the Primordial’s attacked. It was the begging of the  Dawn War  . The war between the Gods and the Primordial’s was devastating, the forces that were unleashed upon the land sundered mountains and wiped cities from the face of Duenis. The Empire unable to defend itself from the powers that had been unleashed fell into ruin. Only the most remote of the Dragonborn cities survived and even they were not unscared by the war.

== Now ==  The many ruined cities of the Iokharic Empire have been used time and again as the foundations of Duenis's current cities. It is said that if you go deep enough into the depths of and building you will find inscriptions in Iokharic. Those ruins that have never been exploited are a beacon to adventures looking for lost lore and items of great power.
