The History and Lore
Please note that this lore is specific to the Empire itself. The Empire of l’Vlorisstulshar resides in the larger continent of Faerun, in the world of Torril. There are many regions and continents in this world, each containing its own histories and cultures, so feel free to explore the vast online offerings of this lore! And while EoC takes place in Torril, your character and background are not limited to that world or any world in the D&D universe. If you are uncertain about your background, please reach out to a staff member for help!
While we do not denote an exact current year due to time dilation between active RP and the general world of EoC (think of how you don’t see every day that passes when you read a novel) the rough time period is the late 1490s DR. Technology has advanced far enough for things such as clockwork and flintlock weapons, but anything that would require heavy machinery to create is not yet available.
Current Events
After a long and drawn out war which devoured a great deal of the continent, the great Black Lich Ra’altherus was defeated.. but not without terrbile cost. Many were lost in that final and dreadful battle, including the Empress herself. After the war was over, many scattered to find new fortunes or to see what remained of the world beyond the Empire. Those who remained began to rebuild, bit by bit.
Now each faction sets its sights towards the future and their own goals. Many have found new leadership, and alliances that once stood have since fallen, new ones rising in their place. As the realm grows strong again, there are whole new adventures to be found!

Broader Lore
The Planar System
The world of Toril exists on the Material plane, but there are many others that surround it in a cosmic alignment known as the Planar System. These planes range from the dark and chaotic abyss to the utopian upper plane of Elysium, and everything in between. This planar system also connects to others, forming a vast multiverse.
Faerun
The bulk of the Empire lies on the southern coast of the continent of Faerun, though Hem Malduhr lies across the Aramile Strait in the deserts of Zakhara.
Neighbors
L’Vlorisstulshar is neighbored by many other kingdoms, including their closest allies in Estagund. However, in this vast world there are as many enemies as there are friends, and a plethora of places to travel to or from.
