The Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony

The Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony stabilised and consolidated its power over pretty much the entire northern hemisphere.

The Mezzian Portal network was expanded to Garaksia along with the treaty towns of northern Caliskan and the Mezzian trading towns on Alfenheim.

The Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony produced a golden age for its citizens. Monstrous creatures were driven deep into the wilds and civilised lands were largely left in peace. The Portal Network lead to a huge reduction in the necessary military might of the Hegemony and they were able to devote their efforts to building a relatively small, but elite army.

The Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony persisted for almost 5000 years and in that time the Portal network was expanded to such a degree, that a traveller (or soldier for that matter) could get to any civilised location in the Hegemony within 2 days. The Yemil-Mezzian government funded itself by charging fees on the use of the portal network by merchants and travellers.

The population of Yemil-Mez was highly diverse with humanoids of every flavour found throughout the Hegemony. Any humanoid that was willing to accept the law code of the Yemil-Mez was welcome within the Hegemony and even orcish and goblinoid citizens were not uncommon.

Both the Elves and the Dwarves participated in trade with the Hegemony and this time saw a thawing of the icy relations between the two. Many Dwarves and Elves joined the Hegemony, seeking to make themselves a better life.

But all things must pass and the Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony did so most spectacularly. One day 984 years ago, the portal network collapsed. In just a few short years after the Collapse Yemil-Mez had decended into a number of isolated city states and was no more.

Yet the Yemil-Mezzian Hegemony's legacy still lives. The peoples of Daugveidu are highly diverse and racism is largely unheard of. The Mezzian tongue remains the common language of the world, the Yemil-Mezzian Calendar is still used throughout the world and their system of weights and measures still persists.
