The Maresh Empire, also known as the Arnesian Empire,[1][2][3] comprises the territories, colonies, and protectorates ruled or administered by Arnes.
Overview[]
Geography[]
The Maresh Empire covers "essentially the top half of Europe" in Grey London's dimension, reaching from the United Kingdom to Poland.[1] The equivalent of Great Britain's island—the Arnesian main island where Red London is located—is called the raska ("crown").[4]
Vesk lies north to the Maresh Empire, and Faro to the south.[4][1]
