Loures
The
center of Temuair since the time of Tenes and Ainmeal
Loures sits at the center of
the Empire of Ardmagh and its influence spreads far and
wide. Loures has been in a long state of stagnation and decay
due to internal greed, curruption,
and a nearly endless series of foreign wars and rebellions.
Despite being a shadow of its former self Loures is
still the most powerful state in Temuair.
Leadership:
Officially Loures is a monarchy. King Bruce
has ruled Loures for well over 60 deochs. Day to day affairs
are managed by the high council which is currently led
by Jean.
General Dealos is the overall commander of the forces involved
in the Goblin War.
Many, however, speculate that the remnants of the Anaman
Pact secretly controls much of Loures from behind the scenes.
Recent Events:
-Loures has been in a continual state of war with the
goblins since Deoch 27. Twice the goblins have attacked Loures
itself - in Deochs 28 and 44. Both attacks were repulsed
with aisling assistance, despite heavy losses.
-Loures was at the center of the invasion by the dark aislings
of Law. Again this was repulsed with aisling assistance.
-Undine broke into open rebellion in Deoch 39 and was only
put down with great losses to both sides. Loures has faced
protests and riots regarding the Undine situation ever since.
All these events have caused Loures to be weakened further.
Many speculate that without aisling assistance Loures would
have been overrun by the Goblins or Dark Aislings. It is
said
many in the military have come to resent this situation.
