OSTRIEN
"Order. Empire. Destiny."The Empire of Ostrien stands behind Emperor Karl I, who has brought war deep into Merélais and now seeks to secure his claim—not just by conquest, but by legitimacy.
Ostrien is disciplined, structured, and relentless. Its nobles believe in unity under a single crown, and its armies fight not just for land—but for the restoration of imperial greatness.
At the Tourney of Basteaux, Ostrien arrives in strength—seeking allies, loyalty, and recognition from a realm that does not yet fully accept them.
