Morea

Morea, also known as The Empire, is a kingdom to the east of Alba, and bears resemblance to the late Byzantine Empire. The power of the realm is waning and it is both bankrupt and dependent on mercenaries. The realm is the main setting of The Fell Sword, with locations visited such as the Empire's capital Liviapolis, Thrake and the Empire's territories near the Wall.

Trivia:

 * Technically the Kingdom of Alba, and the Kingdom of Galle are also part of the Empire, though this is in name only.
 * It is mentioned that the King of Galle's own had kissed the red boots of the Emperor, and pledged fealty to him.
 * The Patriarch in Liviapolis is the head of religion in the Empire, and the Albans also ascribe to his school. His rival is the Patriarch of Rhume, who holds sway in Galle and the continent. With one of the main differences is the Patriarch in Liviaplois allowing the study and use of Power, and believing in the creatures of the Wild.
 * The previous note also shows the inspiration drawn from the Byzantine Empire, whose head of the church was the Patriarch of Constantinople.
