Emilidis
Emilidis , known as the Artisan , was a Nonman Siqû of Ishoriöl and the founder of the School of Contrivers, the Mihtrûl . He is famed as the creator of many powerful sorcerous artifacts, although some (particularly human historians) tend to attribute all Nonmen items of note to the Artisan. Several items created by the Artisan are known as the Sublime Contrivances for their place in fame: the Day Lantern , Amiolas , the Immaculate Rim and the Barricades . He is also credited with the creation of the Agonic Collar and the blade Chipmunk , but the provenance of the latter two items is less certain. Emilidis's fate is unclear; he last appears to history having founded the Mihtrûl circa 661 Year-of-the-Tusk. In 1119 Titirga , Grandmaster of the Sohonc , referred to Emilidis as an acquaintance, indicating he was still alive at that time.

Empire
"Nansur Empire" The Nansur Empire was a nation of the Three Seas and self-proclaimed inheritor to the Ceneian Empire . At the height of its power the Nansur Empire extended from Galeoth to Nilnamesh , but it was much reduced by centuries of warfare against the Fanim Kianene . Though the Nansur Empire had witnessed its fair share of usurpers, palace revolts, and short-lived military dictatorships, it had enjoyed a remarkable degree of dynastic stability. It was under the Trimus Emperors (3411-3508) that the "Nansur" (the traditional name for the district surrounding Momemn ) emerged from the chaos following Cenei 's destruction to unify that Kyranae Plains . But true Imperial expansion did not occur until the Zerxei Dynasty (3511-3619), which, under the rule of successive and short-lived Emperors, managed to conquer Shigek (3539), Enathpaneah (3569), and the Sacred Lands of Xerash and Amoteu (3574). Under the Surmante Emperors (3619-3941), the Nansurium enjoyed its greatest period of growth and military ascendancy, culminating in the rule of Surmante Xatantius I (3644-3693), who subdued the Cepaloran tribes as far north as the River Vindauga , and who even managed to capture the ancient Nilnameshi capital of Invishi , thus very nearly restoring all the so-called Western Empire that had once belonged to Cenei. But his practice of debasing the talent in order to finance his endless wars fairly wrecked the empire's economy. By the time Fan'oukarji I embarked on his White Jihad in 3743, the empire still had not recovered from Xatantius's excesses. His Surmante descendents found themselves embroiled in never-ending wars they could ill afford, let alone win. Scarce resources and an intransigent commitment to the Ceneian model of warfare, which seemed incapable of coping with Kianene tactics, conspired to render the empire's decline an inevitability. The dynasty of the most recent claimants to the Imperial Mantle, the Ikurei, arose as the result of a coup brought about by the turmoil following the loss of Shigek to the Kianene in 3933 (in the so-called Dagger Jihad of Fan'oukarji III ). A former Exalt-General, Ikurei Sorius I reorganized both the Imperial Army and the empire, changes that allowed him and his descendants to defeat no fewer than three full-scale Fanim invasions. The Nansur Empire had enjoyed a precarious stability ever since, though it remained continually fearful of the prospect tht the Scylvendi tribes might unite once again . It was conquered by Anasûrimbor Kellhus during the unification wars of the New Empire shortly after 4112 and the fall of Shimeh .

Parallels

The Nansur Empire appears to have been inspired by the real-world Byzantine Empire . Like the Byzantine Empire, the Nansur Empire shared its religion, Inrithism (the parallel to Christianity), with the Holy War (the parallel to the Crusades) but, like the Byzantine emperors, the Nansur emperors have a complex relationship with the undertaking of their co-religionist. Just like Nansur emperors assume the title of God of Men, Byzantine emperors frequently laid claim to the title of ἰσαπόστολος (the Equal of the Apostles).
Emwama
The Emwama were a tribe of Men indigenous to Eärwa . Slaves of the Nonmen , they were massacred by the Five Tribes of Men following the Breaking of the Gates . Very little is known about them. At some point these primitives were conquered by Nonmen and further existed as slaves to them. They delved the deep mines and tilled the fields for their long-lived masters. The sole exception was in the uttermost north, where the Cûnuroi of Viri instead employed men and treated them with more respect, to the derision of their peers. At some point the Inchoroi tried to turn them against their Nonmen masters and gave them Chorae to help them do so. The Emwama did not desire to rebel however, and instead gave the Chorae to their Nonmen masters. With this the Inchoroi turned their efforts to the tribes of men from Eänna .
