History:
Sitting in the mountains, Ezria is a hard land that despite war, misfortune, and famine has managed to thrive and prosper. Present day Ezria did not emerge until the Chosen One, King Zargari the Great was born more than 250 years ago into a world consumed by violence, blood, and the entire population on the brink of extinction after generations of fighting amongst themselves and the local human tribes folk for whom the Ezrian's had a long standing hatred for. He lead the Ezrian people out of Majitra against the mountain tribesfolk and through a series of bloody (and genocidal) wars over a period of thirty years that saw the deaths of thousands, established Ezria as a nation to be reckoned with in the region and solidified its hold on the bulk of the mountains. The entire ruling family descends from Zargari, and his line has since been declared 'Divine' and is worshipped by the majority of the population. Since the passing of Zargari the Great, his grandson has since assumed control of the country with an increasing eye on expanding his nation's domain into the fertile 'flat lands' below.
Government Civic
