Grandort Empire



The Grandort Empire (グランダート) was a nation in Tortus that existed during the age of the Liberators.

Layout
The Grandort Empire's territory stretched from the central part of the continent all the way to the east, and within it was part of the Reisen Gorge. It bordered the Kingdom of Velka and Entris Federation towards the west, and the Uldia Dukedom and Odion Federation to the north.

It was the only country on the northern continent to hold territory in the southern continent, on the other side of the gorge.

Ideology
The Empire was a devout follower of the Holy Church and its god Ehit. Anyone that the church deemed a heretic would be sent to Reisen Gorge to be executed.

History
The Grandort Empire was well-known for its magical prowess and possessed the most proficiant human mages. The Reisen family that was in charge of executing the empire's criminals at Reisen Gorge dated back so many generations that some scholars believed they existed since even before the nation's founding. They were occasionally at war with the demons due to their close proximity with the Igdol Empire.

The Grandort Empire assisted the Holy Church and Odion Federation during their war against the Haltina Republic after the Liberators forced the former to a temporary retreat. They unleashed a massive fleet of airships to attack the republic, but were stopped that to the intervention of the Liberators that arrived ad he battle moments later. During and after the empire's involvement in the war, they faced repeated attacks from a mysterious group of individuals in white robes who would later be known as the "White Terrorists" (who were actually the Schnee Clan). They specifically targeted military installations while avoiding enemy casualties, and managed to avoid capture by hiding out in the residence of the Liberator Adel Lackman.

When Ehit magically hypnotized the people of Tortus into attacking the Liberators, the Grandort Empire allied itself with the Igdol Empire and ambushed the Liberators that were fleeing through the Obsidian Tundra. Several days later, while still under the effect of Ehit's hypnosis magic, both the Grandort Empire and the Kingdom of Velka were preparing to invade the demon empire. In the end, however, Ehit ceased hypnotizing the people of Tortus after striking a deal with the Liberators's leader Miledi Reisen.

Thousands of years later, when the heroes of Earth were summoned to Tortus by its god Ehit, the empire no longer existed, with Reisen Gorge being the only landmark that remained.
