The Carthaki Empire is an ancient and powerful slaveholding empire to the south of the Inland Sea, which was already considered such in the third century of the Human Era[1]. A colonial empire, it's comprised of many conquered countries in the Southern Lands and up to the Roof of the World. The ruling family is the Iliniats in the 440's HE - Emperor Ozorne and then his nephew, Kaddar Iliniat, who marries Kalasin of Conté. It is known for its university; a storehouse of learning, sophistication, and culture[1].

Carthak, like the pre-revolution Copper Isles, allows slavery.

Nations conquered by Carthak include Siraj, Ekallatum, Amar, Apal, Zallara, Shusin, and Yamut.[2]

Real life connections

Carthak may be based on Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Rome, for its conquests.
