Air'ihpotre

Air'ihpotre was a nation of the Scholars' Empire, on the continent of Weab. Its people were followers of the teachings of Jaikaiar, from the land of Autor. Air'ihpotre is now fallen; its last defenders are said to hold out in the Valley of Legendary Beasts.

Geography
The known features of Air'ihpotre are:


 * Hockwart
 * The capital and chief fortress of the nation. It was watched by four Guardians: the Gryphon, the Raven, the Badger, and the Serpent. It fell to the Curse of the White Scorpion, and the armies of the Marizu League.


 * The Valley of Fantastic Beasts
 * This hidden valley was abandoned for centuries, but it was rumoured that Air'ihpotre was breeding new war-beasts there before the fall. The last holdouts are hidden in this area, waiting to reclaim their nation.

The History of Air'ihpotre
Air'ihpotre was once a fair and prosperous land, spanning a vast swathe of north-eastern Weab. When the Marizu League rose, the coastal lands of Air'ihpotre were claimed by the breakaway state Roe Lin.

For many years, the war between the two nations raged. Air'ihpotre launched seven grand campaigns against Roe Lin, culminating in the Hallowed Campaign, but was never able to reconquer its lost lands. Fanvik-Neht and its allies provided armies for both sides, and it seemed the violent stalemate would continue indefinitely.

That was not to be. Practically overnight, Air'ihpotre fell entirely to the Marizu and was absorbed into Roe Lin. The Harmony Fleet landed vast armies to aid the Marizu; the walls of Hockwart were brought down by the Curse of the White Scorpion; armies of beasts from the Isle of Morn roamed across the land, and the Guardians of Hockwart were in league with them.

Rumours abounded that Jaikaiar, the spiritual mother of the land, had thrown her support behind the Marizu - that she had personally caused the downfall of Air'ihpotre. The truth of these rumours remains unproven.
