Kingdom of Steel

Kingdom of Steel
Also known as the Human Kingdom, the Kingdom of Steel is known as the most technologically advanced Kingdom on Zorgan. They have managed to conjure a powerful Kingdom even though the Human race is not as powerful as the other humanoid races, due to their ambition and force of will. Around 70.000 Humans live in the Kingdom.

Kingdom of Ambition
The ambition of its inhabitants have brought huge swats of land under the control of the Kingdom. At least two known Kingdoms have been annexed by the Humans, the Kingdom of the Night and the Horseriders.

Their ambition has also allowed them to uncover huge amounts of knowledge. It is said that only the Men of Steel, the elite warriors of the Kingdom, know the secret to Blackdust, a powder that explodes when it strikes an opponent. Their swords are carefully made to allow it to sustain multiple hits with the powder, and this invention alone must have cost other races thousands of lifes.

They have also carefully invented new spells, readable only by Human descendants of the Three Knights, the founders of the Kingdom of Steel. These spells are able to create incredible potent effects, of which only one is known: Summon Dragon.

No more expansion
But, the Kingdom of Steel does not have the power to conquer one of the other three remaining Kingdoms on Zorgan. The Empire of Blood is equal if not greater in martial might, but the technology advantage the Men of Steel have allows them to keep the Hobgoblins at bay. The Kingdom of the Iron Pidgeon cannot be conquered due to the vast amount of trees, and the Kingdom of the Infernal Forge is much too large and has too rough of a terrain to be conquered. And thus the expansion has stopped...

The threat remains
Those who wish to sleep well at night must never go against the Men of Steel, for they have more pride than wisdom. Their thirst for those who wronged them leads them into battle every so often nonetheless, retreating after having inflicted huge casualties.
