[@Ryuzaki] I have no problems with adding more islands with more races. I was thinking that while the war between humans and elves is an overbearing threat. Provinces within the empire are still home to many other races who struggle to take sides or avoid the grander conflict. Like one desert province, has 12 city states run by vampire houses. They allow disputes between themselves be decided by pitting lesser races against each other in gladiator fights. Overall, the province is neutral but is still considered part of the greater empire.
