[b]Personality:[/b]
Bjorich is a king who puts the need and safety of his people above all else. He is a firm believer in law and justice and abhors trickery and foul-play. However, he is only like this to his own citizens, and has little love or care for foreigners or those who haven't pledge loyatly to the crown, uncocnered with their fates or well-being.  His love for the people has made him unpopular with many of Paladgria's nobles though, and the fact that he has yet to have an heir makes his hold on the throne ephemeral.  Still, he is a strong and capable man who makes and takes decisive actions.

[hider=The Galanon Empire]
[b]Details:[/b]
The Galanon Empire is the largest nation on the western side of the continent, spanning a tremendous amount of land and territory. In fact, it might just be the largest nation on the entire continent as a whole. With such a vast territory under its control, the Empire has a very diverse array of biomes and ecology, ranging from mountains to plains to forests to swamps and deserts to steppes and beyond. The country is well-known for having conquered many of its rivals and neighbours, as well as subjugating supposed allies. A country that takes what it needs, or wants, by force and military might, the Empire is not well liked by the rest of the continent's kingdoms and countries. It also practicies strict cultural assimilation, forcing those they've conquered to adopt their own customs and culture, as well as eradicating and stamping out any native customs or traditions.
