Crone Hegemony

The Crone Hegemony is an empire separated from the Council Lands by the Rakshasa controlled deserts. Once, the Crones were native to Alharth, but were driven out by The Council of Thirteen during a revolution. Recently, a group of Crones has returned to their homeland in hopes of reclaiming it. This group is known as the Crone Council.

During the Sand War, the Crone Hegemony first sided with the Rakshasa and Orcs, before turning on the Rakshasa. The Orcs were caught in the conflict, and many lost their lives.

War Scorpions are possibly used by the Crone Hegemony. Constructed Myrmidons are thickly armored Golems often used by the Crone Hegemony.

You leave through the books for interesting tidbits:

"The lead wizards from each school met in secret, calling themselves The Council of Thirteen. Had the gorgons found them, we would still be under the yoke of the Crone Hegemony to this day! But under the cloak of magical secrecty they organized a rebellion."

"... Queen Hegata declared open war upon the upstart humans and called for aid from her allies. The Orcs followed her lead, but the Elves of Verta refused to honor their treaty, claiming that it was an internal matter. This created a schism between between the Elves and the Hags which is still evident to this day.

"... When the crones were forced out of their beloved home in Ilmari, they destroyed this Great Weather Machine so that the Council could not obtain it. Who can say if they knew what would happen as a result? Perhaps it was an accident. But in any case, Ilmari was covered in horrific storms for the next 24 years. Its fertile soil was washed away and it became a barren desert. For hundreds of years it remained uninhabited, until the Rakshasa used it as the landing point for their invasion."

This is too boring. You stop reading and focus on more pressing matters.
