Vassal Nations[]
The empire governs over several nations that have taken vassalage under it, each of this serve a important function for the empire, nevertheless it seems that all of them came under its rule by conquest and still nowadays have tense relationships or undercover hostility to the Amid Empire.
The position of the vassal nations are weak, and each king is treated as a marquis of the Amid Empire, while there are several dukes of higher rank in the empire.[2]
The four nations under its control are:
- Mirg Shield-Nation
- The "shield" of the empire that keep in check the forces of the Orbaum Kingdom. Although important for the empire, this nation has the worst relationship with the sovereing nation among the 4 vassal nations as he has only sacrificed their forces defending the west side of the continent, but never have been allowed to participate on the invasions nor annex new land. Also, the failed conquest expedition to Talosheim 200 years left a great mark on the pride of the nobles and many realized that all was a ruse of the emperor of that time to weaken the nation of Mirg and avoid a war of independence. Currently, the empero Marshukzal have plans to progresive assimilate Mirg into the Empire.[?]

- Marmuke
- The Iron Nation at the north which is rich in minerals and metals, so its a tresure trove for the empire. Although the faith in Alda is also mainstream in this country, a large part of its population comes from the darwen race and the faith in Botin has great power and influence here.[?]
- Yond
- The Grain Nation that provides of food to the Empire. It's located at the westest part of the continent in the oposiite direction of Mirg from the Empire, so this nation hasn't seen war in centuries since their annexion to the Amid Empire.[?]
