Essential Details
◆Name of Realm:The Dungar Imperium or just The Imperium
◆Rulers: Keiser Isaac Dungar
◆Culture: The culture of the Imperium is a strange one. It praises its own army and its soldiers as scholar warriors. These individuals are not only trained to be the greatest army on Hygard. They are, in the words of the state, scholars. soldiers taught to be intellectuals, the officers more so. The nation's people are placed in a social hierarchy in which that there are 3 layers of citizenship, The Imperium regards its people in high value, and try to protect them by enshrining Order and safety over multiple freedoms. this makes them semi-xenophobic, and this spills into their class system. where the lowest tier is view with the most scrutiny, and is made up of mainly foreigners and criminals. The second tier are second-class citizens, majority are individuals that opted to join the Order of Safety, the Imperium's internal peace-keeping force. the top level are first-class citizens, all of which are members of the military unless they are members of the noble class. The Imperium tries to support the Progress created by its scholars, but they also try to maintain a resemblance of status quo as to preserve Order within the nation. the people themselves vary from xenophobic to just apathy toward foreigners and from highly religious to irreligious but nearly all of them are a member of the Agua Viva.

◆History:
In a year estimated to be 200 CE, Nathan Dungar took helm of a medium sized tribe, instilling a warrior culture in the people and conquered many other smaller tribes nearby. in his old age, he would establish a council of elders that would pick the next leader of the tribe. but due to the cult of personality created by Dungar, this led to his son being chosen to lead. this would last for 2 more generations until the council would chose Arthur Hardee to lead the Dungar Clan as it was called then, in the year 293. this would end what was called the Dungar Autocracy and started the Eldership of Dungar, a period where people went to great lengths to get what they wanted in the court of Dungar.
This began when a member of the Dungar dynasty used money stolen from the clan over generations of Dungar to take out Mr. Hardee. this coup failed and led to the near extermination of House Dungar. About 4 years later, estimated year 327, a insurgency led by a charismatic clansmen rose up against Mr. Hardee. when members of the eldership supported this rebellion, Hardee killed the traitors and dissolved the eldership. This marked the beginning of the Hardee dictatorship. A military general would eventually rise up and overthrow Hardee. this dictatorship would only last until the generals death in 348, that would be when the eldership was reestablish, however the elders feared the return of an autocracy and transformed the eldership into oligarchy which lasted for 20 years. this was a period of great technological progress and it would be continued when a Dungar clam member would be discovered, when they failed to appoint him, majority of the tribes conquered before the eldership period of history rose up and installed him onto the throne. marking the beginning of the Dungar monarchy.
The Dungar monarchy has since lasted for 600 years. there were only two times that the monarchy was controlled by someone else, the first was when Daniel Dungar reestablish the eldership and then committed suicide, this lead to a war between two nobles and this ended when Military General Blake coup the eldership, and eliminated both nobles, this was generally unpopular and lead to the Blake crushing dissent in the nation. his reign lasted for 30 years before a Dungar clan member lead a civil war against Blake and had regained control over the nation. the second time was when a Noble gained significant power and declared himself the Kieser of the Dungar Imperium, leading to civil war. The state of Dungar would be forced to change however when, in 836 C.E, a bastard was born of the Dungar Dynasty only for him to be banished from the kingdom, he would come back under a new name and become a lord under The Keiser's nose. This would be House McGray.

◆History:
This house began when Nathan II Dungar was banished from the nation, he would choose to stay in the Imperium instead of wandering the wastelands. This would force him travel around the nation, he would find a unconquered tribe that was willing to let him stay, and that is where he pick up the surname Gray, There he learn how to hunt and preserve food. This surname would allow him to travel as freely as he could. Over the next 3 years, he would gather enough money to flee to the Confederation, mainly because The Keiser, who was Nathan's father, had a child which meant that Nathan was a threat to the Throne. it has been two hundred years since, in the Confederation Nathan added Mc to the Gray in his surname, and the fact that he was a bastard to house Dungar has been a family secret since. they gained land through prestige and accomplishment within the army, and have become Dukes serving under the Dungar. though this has only been for practical reasons, as it has been the intention to seize the throne back. it seems that it will so be time for the end of the Dungar monarchy.

Legacy
◆Allegiance: Duke Tomas of McGray lands and Keiser Issac Dungar
◆Profession: Lord of the Castle and Town of McGray
◆Background: As the Second in line for the throne of House McGray, Eric was treated as a Noble should be, with pride and prestige. however as second in line, that meant his brother, Arthur, would gain the Throne before him. This meant Eric was trained to be a scholar and less of a Lord. Since he learned of his Family's past and connection to house Dungar, a hatred build up inside him. while he was a good scholar, he was as good at finances more than his brother was. This would gain Eric the role of Steward of the House and Lordship of the Castle and Town upon Adulthood.
The hatred of House Dungar was something Eric and his brother, Arthur, shared. Because of this, he and his brother made a pact as teenagers. Arthur would resign as Lord of the House the moment he gains it, and become Steward as the house instead. As Eric succeeds Arthur, Eric would become Lord. Over the course of his childhood, Eric has been rash and been in several fights, this helped him to build a tough exterior, both physically and emotionally. he also has been taught by his father to see the world as it is, a deceitful place full of opportunistic people, as is human nature.
