Tornal

Tornal was one of the major empires that existed during the Old Wars. It was located in the northern half of the eastern continent of Tantas. Tornal was a nation of near lawlessness, held together only by the armies of the king and their willingness to “recruit” malcontents and troublemakers.

Resources
Tornal was a land rich in the raw materials of war. Iron, wood, and the gold to pay its warriors was abundant in its mountain ranges and vast forests. The largest dwarven enclaves on Tantas were located in the northern mountains of Tornal, working to supply the vast armies that were the strength of the nation.

Tyral, City of the Shimmering Sea was a major port of Tornal, and one of its key assets. When the empire of Mathu was trading instead of raiding, their ships brought exotic goods almost exclusively to Tyral rather than any other port on the eastern continent.

Rulership
The history of Tornal is the most well known of any of the old empires due to the records kept in Tyral. Tornal was ruled by a king or queen, though in practice the generals had more direct power. There were even several documented skirmishes between different divisions within Tornal's army, and a few rebellions from within were put down during the history of the nation.
