First Ostian Empire

When the vampires of Ostia speak of past glories and their former empire, it is the First Ostian Empire of which they speak. Stretching across the majority of the northern half of Ilunia, the Empire was won by and ruled over by Thorvald of Ostia. For centuries its tight grip over the humans of these provinces went unchallenged, but was finally overthrown after its human subjects became more self-aware and grew in sufficient number that their status as slaves and cattle was abolished in the Human Wars of Independence. The newly independent states of Antias, Maron, Kaffspar and Gallundia later formed the Confederation, and as a result tensions remain between the remnant of Ostia and its former subjects.
