Aionian Empire

The Aionian Empire was the great imperial power of the old world, and controlled much of the modern northern regions. It was pivotal in the Exile of the Dragonborn, as the empire championed the exile as the only solution and stood as the primary guardian of the Barrier Range. Following the relenquishing of some territory to the rising human powers, about seven thousand years ago the Aionian Empire dissolved into the kingdoms of A'laur and Aetheria following the General Split.
