The Ostoburg Empire

The Ostoburg empire is a kingdom of well-meaning fools. Kingdom is actually four smaller kingdoms that would be culturally, artistically, and militarily insignificant if not for the complex set of marriages and alliances that hold the ‘empire’ together in a tenuous balance.

There are some that think Krikekov props the empire up as puppet and mouthpiece, as it ensures that with the Grineland on the west, the Ostoburgs on the south and east, and the Voyager peninsula to the north, Krikekov has effective isolation and buffer from invasion while still being able to conduct trade and diplomacy.

Polyglot, with simmering racial and ethnic tension, and more underground revolutionary movements than imperial officials to thwart them, the Ostoburg Empire is a bubbling cauldron seated in the center of geopolitics, and will likely to be the cause of the next great war.
