Baharuth Empire

The Baharuth Empire (バハルス帝国) is a human nation of the New World, and sub background of Overlord Volume 7.

Background
The Baharuth Empire, normally referred 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 Re-Estize Kingdom, but now the emperor established an absolute monarchy by purging many of the nobles. Under the rule of the emperor, 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.
