Savuto Mountains (Eufez)

The Savuto Mountains are the largest mountain range on Eufez, covering most of the southeastern corner of Vedelsped.

As the effects of excommunication from the north began to be felt, the early Empire focused on strengthening the already established colonies. As such, most of the development occurred along the northern coast, particularly around the port city of Fatherwell. The first major expansion occurred during the reign of Emperor Thule in 1160 when the Empire conquered the northernmost parts of Vedelsped and pushed southwards into the Crescent mountains. Though the empire had previously been limited to the coastal regions, its reach now extended throughout more of the continent.

By 1300, the Baden Empire reached its peak size. All of the mainland except for the Savuto Mountains was under its sway. However, this growth came at a price: the Empire's military strength was stretched thin. The Empire began to suffer defeats and setbacks as a result of overextension, resulting in the loss of territories to rival nations. This resulted in the rise of the New Order movement, a coalition of new states against the Baden Empire. The Empire was in desperate need of a valuable new territory in order to survive its fractioned state.
