BACKGROUND
[/b][/u]
Historically a proud and advanced Kingdom of the Ancient World and possibly one of the longest lasting Monarchy based systems on Mundus. The people are very devout to their faith, with Islam dominating the nation. Those following the traditional native faiths are forced to stay out of certain areas and the entire capital city is only open to people of the Islamic faith or with a government licence.
Abydos historically has been a major power in the north of Aranye alongside the Rus Empire and Holy Empire of Achkaerin, several wars between the three were waged over a great many years especially in ancient times (quite a number of these took place in the Gulf of Safraen area). In more modern times Abydos has sought to reshape it's image to be more open to the international community while also maintaining it's traditional beliefs and customs.
