Locations
Daru Plains

Mer Empire
A huge undersea power, the Mer Empire is a dominant force in Otaria. It was more sophisticated than the land-bound cultures, with considerable magic abillity held by its main occupants, the Cephalids, and an advanced governing body of aristocrats holding power under the imperial office. Cephalids were also skilled merchants, and the Mer Empire held a wealth of treasures and fine craftsmanship. Thus, they were able to obtain a respect in the mainland. The Empire runs along the eastern coasts of the continent.
