Slvadiah
Neutral Evil Monarchy
Religion: Szuriel- Horseman of War
Ruler: Lord Azriel Von'Crouse

Slvadiah is a country dedicated to the conquest and destruction of all others it faces. Those who oppose it are destroyed, and those that surrender are enslaved.

Lord Azriel Von'Crouse has ruled his country with a firm fist of steel. He leads his army on the front line, fighting to cover the world in the dark war that he wishes to never end. He is the instrument of his god, the sword of war. On the battlefield he is known to slay waves of foes and leave them bleeding, never truely killing, always granting a slow and very painful death.

To show his enemies his cruelty, he captures the commanders if his enemies, then when he Sieges a city he sets them up, impaled on spikes outside the city as a bloody mark to show what will happen to those within. This has won him a battle on more than one occasion, his foes surrendering to avoid a similar fate. Of course he has no intention of letting them live anyways...

His country itself is prosperous. Because of Azriel's work, almost all the conflict is outside his country, leaving his citizens to their work, farming to feed his armies. Families who's Children are soldiers are given much wealth to help encourage others to give their children to the armies.

Slaves are sent back to the country to be used as laborers on farms or within royal courts. They are treated very poorly, and rarely live longer than a few years on the farms. This that do live are treated worse than dirt, after all you don't treat dirt like you do a slave...

Azriel has Four sons, his eldest son a warlord all in his own right. Almost a perfect copy of his father. The second born is a preist of Szuriel and a true devoted. His third son is Raithor, A slave driver working hard to claim his own land and leave his father's rule. And his youngest son is only 4 years old, and is still innocent to the world.

Raithor is the third born son of Lord Azriel Von'Crouse, King of Slvadiah.
Unlike his two older brothers he has no aspirations to claim his father's throne. He despises his father's rule, how he always wages war with all those around him. No... He wants his own land, where if he where to claim the throne his enemies would not cower because they feared his father's wrath, but rather they worked with him, while he amassed a mighty wealth and he only destroyed those who deserved it.

He was raised as a warrior, but he was constantly picked on by his oldest brother, which led him to start plotting on getting him back. When his older brother would steal his food, he made sure to poison his own food. When his brother broke his toys or weapons, he made sure to replace his brother's metal polish with a metal Corrosive.

As he got older Raithor started to train with hunting dogs, learning to track prey down and bring them back alive. When his father saw him practicing this skill, he was trained to use them on humans, his father would arrange great hunts, where he and each of his brothers would hunt down slaves and whomever brought back the most would be rewarded... Raithor often won, but once he realized this made him look like an obstacle to his oldest brother he began to purposely lose, letting his old brother kill more... But he always brought his quarry back alive. After all, a dead slave is a useless slave
