Nebin

Situated at the North West corner of Toor, Nebin is a relatively small nation ruled by a senate-elected King. With it's origins being 182 years in the past, Nebin is a country that has proven it can stand through time. It was founded by a power Seer named Oracle. She could peer into the past, and the future, and was considered the most knowledgeable human in the world. For 65 years she ruled as the queen of Nebin, and no country stood against her, because none could best her ability to wage war. With constant knowledge of the location of every soldiers on the battlefield, she orchestrated massacres with only a few hundred men.

After 65 years, Oracle wrote down instructions on how the empire should be run, and then ascended, becoming Aesther, the All Seeing Eye, and the patron goddess of Nebin. She is the only mortal to have ever ascended to Godhood, and many fear those of her bloodline, calling them the Godmakers. She is also the second person to ever cross the Astral Divide, and survive the trip. After her departure, the country of Nebin continued to flourish. To this day, no country has attack the nation, for fear of retribution by the All Seeing Eye.
