General Information

The Saharan Empire is one of the great powers of the continent, which occupied more than half of the territory on the continent. It is the authority in the West Continent and is considered the strongest out of the existing countries.

The Empire is known for its unique Empire's Swordsmanship and follows extreme policies against other races, resulting in many minor races to hide or escape to other countries.
