The kingdom of Tyvia is the dominant force on what was the northern continent of Elidrophyn prior to the Shift.
After the shift most nations, who had relied on magic for their defense, were left defenseless. Tyvia did not have that issue, as magic had in general been seen as heretical by the church, and magicians straying from the holy elements of light and fire were.. dissuaded. While practitioners of Dark magic were actively hunted and put to the torch.
After magic disappeared from the world, Tyvia was left standing with a large military war machine that didn't require magic to work, and the ambition to conquer all of their neighbors. And with their primary defenses down, most rapidly fell to Tyvia's military might. Only Jokkafar in the north proved too large, and too well defended to conquer, and the lords and ladies of Tyvia realized assaulting the now-isolationist Babylonian empire in the south would be far too much to handle at the same time.
Instead, the war with Jokkafar has dragged on, and the Tyvians have made sure to remove all unwanted elements from their annexed territories, driving away vampires, necromancers, and all other creatures of the night and practitioners of the dark arts, new and old. Something that made them popular in parts of the world.
Tyvia's technological advancement, while not close to Babylon, is still moderately advanced. The tyvians are currently dabbling in steam power for their ships, and have access to firearms in the style of blunderbusses, muskets, cannons and the like.
