Sapphiri Empire

The Sapphiri Empire, also known as Sapphiraea or the Sapphire Kingdom is a large imperial regime spanning across a large portion of southern Gradakesh and northern Syrakesh. It is bordered to the north by the Kryell Mountains, the Rkhon Empire, and territories inhabited by far-eastern barbarian tribes called the Zosi. To the west it is bordered by Ganymedaea, and to the south by the Scarlet Desolation - a large desert spanning Syrakesh. The empires borders stick tightly to the coastline of the Sapphire Sea from which the country derives its name.

The Sapphiri Empire emerged as the direct successor state to the old Vycaraen Empire which controlled much of the region. Despite losing much of the Vycaraens former territories in the western peninsula, the Sapphiri expanded their control eastwards into the Rkhon Steppe and the far-eastern shorelines of the Sapphire Sea.
