Welyn

Summary
Welyn is a complex nation, ruled for generations by the Jerevaux family. A long line of brutal dictators, the newest Emperor, Emperor Hagar Jerevaux, is young and trying to change his family's legacy. One of his first edicts to effect this change was to accommodate for the refugees of all the races fleeing xenophobic persecution from Kombray. This was unpopular, resulting in the city Talperya and the governments influence weakening slightly.

Inhabitants
Though the nation had been primarily Humans for a long time, recently the inhabitants have become made up of various races. Half-Elves and Half-Orcs are the most common, especially in the city of Talperya, but all kinds of come through and settled: Orcs, Kobolds, Goblins, and various others.

Government
The government is an autocracy and had been previously ruled by brutal dictators. The newest emperor is kinder and fairer, but this has been perceived by some as weakness and his influence has waned with various unpopular decisions.
