Farrin

Farrin is a big country mainly inhabited by humans. Its capital is Empyros and is currently, since 3510 NE, under the rule of Marrek Copperborn. It has around 17 million inhabitants.

Geography
Farrin is a peninsula neighbouring the countries of Deltile, Seasort, and the city state Dagurazo. It lies next to the Sea of Pelagos, the Kraken’s Sea, and the Long Sea.

One big mountain range divides Farrin from Deltile and Seasort: the Monshillos Mountains. From these mountains flow the Short River and the Fork-End River, among some smaller ones. Some notable landmarks include the Thorn Forest, Monte Woods, and the Materlake.

Farrin is divided into 4 provinces, Silvos, Lagos, Crescentia, and Basileus, with Grim Buckingham, Gorstag Greycastle, Darwin Shortstyg, and Marrek Copperborn as the leaders respectively. The capital of Silvos is Silve, the one from Lagos is Dromos, Crescentia has Nautorium as its capital and Empyros is the capital of Basileus.

History
Farrin was founded in 0 NE by the humans from the fallen state of Atlantis, 20,000 years after humans were made by Claeus and given life by Aquam. Farrin was first called Far-In.

Army
The Draconic Forces was the name the collective armies of Deltile and Farrin at the time of the Seyrazian Empire. It also included forces from refugees of other countries, and dragons, which inspired the name.

It had almost 2 million combatants, of which:
 * 1 million infantry troops (mostly humans, dwarves, and dragonborn, but also elves, halflings, and gnomes)
 * 500,000 cavalry troops (riding on horses, griffons, hippogriffs, and very rarely dragons)
 * 250,000 archers (mostly elves, humans, and dragonborn, but also halflings, dwarves, and gnomes)

The army Farrin has today is much smaller but impressive nonetheless. It has almost 18,000 soldiers, of which:
 * 700 spellcasters (wizards, sorcerers, and clerics)
 * 50 metallic dragons (of which 14 brass, 12 bronze, 14 copper, 6 silver and 4 gold dragons.)
 * 10,000 infantry troops, which are peasants who have to fight in wartime
 * 5000 cavalry troops, which consist purely of trained combatants and rarely nobles
 * 2500 archers, of which two-thirds are peasants and one-thirds trained combatants
 * 10 spellcasters, of which most are war wizards
 * 40 Rangers of the King, who are stationed in the provinces in teams of ten. They fight in wars with their bows but also function as secret agents for the king personally.
