Padashan Empire

The Padashan Empire, also known as the Human Empire, is one of the major powers of ranath. It was founded in year 257, by a nomadic tribe of humans. As time went on, its borders gradually expanded and its population diversified. It is now made mostly of humans, haflings, and dragonborn.

The Padashan Empire is ruled by King Trafire, and his decisions are supposedly vetted by a group of nobles acting as a senate. The senate has been relinquishing more and more power to the King. He's been doing this gradually since the inception of the Empire. First, the King changed minor things, such as giving himself the ability to set holidays with the approval of the senate. Next, he took direct control of taxes and the ability to make declarations of war, and direct control of the military. At current day, the senate is powerless, and the King has all the power. With his newfound power, he started to expand the military, and has been doing so ever since.
