Belrast

The capital of Belrast is Dragonsmouth.

Belrast is the second human superpower, surpassed only in power and influence by Antiris. Unlike Antiris, they are ruled by a single king, King Artemius IX. This king has near absolute power, although the current king is known for being very moderate in his use of it.

History
In its infancy, Belrast was just one of many kingdoms that inhabited what is now its domain. However, King Artemius V was very cunning and skilled in battle, and chose to systematically stage a complete takeover of the area. During his reign, the newly formed country was very unstable. However, his grandson King Artemius VII won the hearts and minds of the people by creating massive public works initiatives and greatly increasing the quality of life in the nation. Unfortunately, he did this largely by setting forth agreements with the people of the Northeastern Plains to keep a steady supply of well-priced orcish slaves coming into the nation.
