Baharuth Empire

The Baharuth Empire (バハルス帝国) is a human nation of the New World and the source of conflict in The Invaders of the Great Tomb.

Background
The Baharuth Empire, normally referred to as "the Empire", is located east of the Azerlisia Mountains, north-east of The Great Tomb of Nazarick. Three generations ago the Empire was also a feudal state like the Re-Estize Kingdom, but the current emperor established an absolute monarchy by purging many of the nobles. Under his rule, the Empire is becoming more and more prosperous.

The Empire adopted a career soldier system, waging war against the Kingdom annually and inducing the Kingdom's loss of national strength since the Kingdom drafts workers and farmers unlike the Empire. Some nobles of the Kingdom are in league with the Empire as well, and it seems that the Empire is simply watching for a chance to conquer the Kingdom with minimal losses.
