The Trasidar Empire
“Twelve Crowns under Four Horns”
Nation/Empire in Shimradis by Stephen Lucas Lacroix
overview
The Trasidar Empire, officially known as the Imperial Trasidar Empire spans the entire length of the Arumar Continent from North to South or commonly known today as Unibeltrasia from the northern tip of the Silver Horn Mountains that pierces the Frozen Sea, to the very southern Remolus Islands of the continent that divides the Trasidar Sea to the east and the La’Sarien Sea to the west. Then from West, they border the Mystic Realm of the Talonari until the very end of the Mystic Forest of the Narra’Kan, the Middle Kingdom of the Tigris’Kan with the entire length of the Plains of Thromasda, and then The Kingdom of the Karinhawis in the middle of the Ongrun Plains, south of Ongrun Lake, and then at the very edge of the Sister’s Mountains. The Estimated size of the Empire is approximately 2.5 million Square Kilometers, anchored by the Imperial Capital of Tamara – the Largest City in the entire continent and the world.
The Trasidar Empire is home to an estimated amount of 50 to 70 million people that includes a healthy mix of immigrants from the Free Kingdoms that borders the Empire to the west. The Trasidar Empire is comprised of 13 Imperial Kingdoms and 1 Protectorate with the seat of power, Tamara, in the Imperial Kingdom of Barceneim. The Empire is made up of the following kingdoms and protectorate:
Trasidar Kingdom of Barceneim
Remolus Principality
Kingdom of Rosalessium
Imperial Kingdom of Pinedran
Dominion of Francineil
Principality of Huertian
Grand Duchy of the Napareim
Imperial Kingdom of Gerominad

etymology
During the years before the official start of the 1st Vires’ Millenias, the individual kingdoms were known by their regional names. Citizens identified themselves as Barceni (from Barceneim), Napari (from Napareim), Huertian (from the Principality of Huertian), and other regional designations corresponding to their home kingdoms. The term “Trasidar” did not exist in common usage during this period.
The name “Trasidar” originated from a divine vision received by the Green King Verousch Leloverar, a devout follower of the Animos God Freigurd. According to imperial chronicles, Freigurd revealed in a dream-vision that the fragmented lands would be united under a single name: “Trasidar,” meaning “Strength and Unity” in the old tongue. The Green King then declared himself the Four Horned King and proclaimed that all peoples of the unified territories would be known as Trasidars or Trasidians, terms that could be used interchangeably.
With this, began the Conquest of the Four Horns (Records states that the Conquest itself occurred in the span of almost 700 years) as the Four Horned King began a war of conquest against its neighboring kingdoms. Some became allies by political marriages while some fell and conquered.
Following the imperial proclamation, the traditional regional identifiers became secondary. Citizens of the newly formed empire began identifying primarily as “Trasidian,” with their regional origins mentioned only when specifically asked. This linguistic shift represented both the political unification and the religious mandate underlying the Green King’s divine vision.
The official name “Trasidar Empire” was formally adopted in imperial decrees of the late 1st Vires Millenias. Regional names such as Barceni, Napari, and Huertian continued to exist as cultural and geographic markers but no longer served as primary identity markers for imperial citizens.

history
"The Rise of the Four Horned King"
The first accounts of the History of the Trasidar Empire has been chronicled and recovered from the start of and going back to how the Empire or the idea of it came into fruition.
The First Vires’ Millenias was only recorded as the official start of the so called “Peaceful Era of Arumar” though the Conquest of the Four Horns was still in full swing.
As per Imperial History, The Barceneim King Verousch Leloverar had a dream-vision of the Animos God Freigurd and told him to go to a rock mound north of their capital city Jos and mine its heart, and said that with it, he will unite the people under his name and under the name Trasidar .
King Verousch mined the mound to its heart for 10 years and found a singular, glowing stone. He had a vision once more of the Animos God Freigurd and as per his accounts, the Animos told him that through this stone, he will have his strength and might.
He then proceeded to declare himself as the Green King and after proclaiming himself as the Four Horned King and the First Trasidar Monarch of the newly renamed Trasidar Kingdom of Barceneim in around 273 A.V. (Ante Vires), he began his conquest of uniting the lands under the Trasidar Name, as foretold by the Animos God Freigurd.
The First to fall under the Four Horned King was Dominion of Francineil in the year 302 A.V. as the Four Horned King used the stone with his weapon the Great Mace of Jos. From there, they immediately consolidated their control of the Dominion by installing a new Franc Prince under the control of the Four Horned King, Franc Prince Yhogar Fidra and immediately pledged the Franc Army under the Four Horned King and since then declared themselves as Trasidar.
In the year 317 A.V. The Four Horned King sent a messenger to the city of Jeceilias, of the former Kingdom of Pinedran asking them to surrender instead and pledge their loyalty to the House of Leloverar. Then Queen Nuuva Qras then obliged and surrendered her Crown and pledged their loyalty to the Leloverar and renamed the kingdom to the Imperial Kingdom of Pinedran.
“The Trasidar Confederation and the House of Levor”
In 325 A.V, with 3 kingdoms already under his rule, he immediately declared the Trasidar Confederation and resulted in the wedding of the daughter of the Franc Prince, Salimar Fidra and the then Imperial Prince Vudar Lelolevar and the establishment of the new Imperial House, Levor and thus uniting the 2 houses.
Fearing being flanked from the north and the east, in the year of 338 A.V., The Four Horned King began the conquest of the Principality of Huertian. This proved to be a test of the Four Horned King as crossing the river of Saksoni was not forgiving. However, a breakthrough was made when the wife of Imperial Prince Vudar Levor(Former Lelolevar), Princess Salimar Levor proposed that to send in an infiltration unit to extend the then pull bridge so that they can safely cross.
On the night of 17th of Morun of the year 340 A.V. the infiltration was successful, and in the dead of night, Prince Vudar has seized the Palace of Melgrace and asked the then Huertian Lakan, Gurivir Hunda to surrender, but he refused.
It was eye witness accounts that confirmed that the House Hunda possessed a Red Stone , named Gurivir Stone , similar to what he has and a great fight ensued that resulted to the destruction of the Melgrace Palace. After a fierce battle The Imperial Prince beheaded him right then and there, along with his wife. They were survived by their young son, Ioavan Hunda and took him under his wing, until he was of right age and handed over control of the Principality by Huertian of the year 361 A.V.
He seized the Gurivir Stone and declared the Green Stone will be an Imperial Symbol of his blood’s right to rule and henceforth will be named the Verousch Stone.
On this year as well, as a celebration, the Son of Prince Vudar Levor, Prince Yamir Levor was wedded to the Daughter of the House of Qras, Princess Tavare, thus uniting the 3 Houses of Barceneim, Francineil, & Pinedran under the house of Levor.
On the year of the 1st of Joremein 365 A.V. the Grand Duchy of Napareim sent a delegation to the old capital of Jos in Barceneim and immediately gave their loyalty to the House. They then offered their Princess, named after their capital city, Princess Carol Wenivhier to be the future wife of the future son of Yamir and Tavare. The then Four Horned King accepted and in this year they brought Napareim to the fold.
In the same year, Four Horned King Verousch Leloverar fell ill and died shortly thereafter. As a result at the date of 4th of Nleros 365 A.V. Prince Vudar ascended the throne and the house of Levor took the crown and the Verousch Stone that was now renamed the Vudar Stone . It was he who fashioned the first proper Crown of Four Horns and the started the tradition of renaming the stone to whoever is the new bearer.
"Dawn of the Storm King"
King Vudar, seeking to end the conquest here, had a period of rest from the years of 366 to the year 394 A.V. During this time, the marriage of his Son, Prince Veri, to Princess Carol solidified the house of Levor and brought the house of Wenivhier under. While his sister, Princess Gaveier was to be wed with the Lakan of Huertian, Ioavan Hunda, thus securing the eastern front and now creating two branches of the House Levor.
However, it wasn’t always peace during these years, as the raiders of Go’Renhor continued to ravage the countryside and in the year 395 A.V. King Vudar launched a massive armada to take the island of Go’Renhor.
