Dolhr... Land of the Manaketes. Before Medeus, the dragonkin had few dealings with the human realm, but when the Shadow Dragon came, everything changed. He sunk all Archanea into a cycle of war, in which heroes rose and heroes fell—always claiming his cause was just and the humans' deaths deserved.
— Shadow Dragon narration, on Dolhr

The Dolhr Empire (pronounced /⁠ˈdoʊlɚ⁠/[key][1]; Japanese: ドルーア Durhua; PAL: Doluna) was a relatively short-lived nation of Archanea which existed only for a total of fifteen years across a period of 115 years. The empire at times comprised a significant portion of Archanea, but the region generally considered to comprise Dolhr in and of itself was the northern half of the central island mass shared with Macedon, to the south of the smaller Altea and Gra islands, and to the west of the peninsula of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea.

History

The Empire was founded in the year 490 Archanea calendar by Medeus, prince of the Earth Dragons and guardian of the seal upon his wild brethren. In the years since the formation of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea, mankind had become increasingly hostile to and derisive of the Manaketes, enraging Medeus and prompting him to form the Dolhr Empire, a Manakete nation, and declare himself its emperor. From there, in the year 493 he engaged the world in a war against humanity, opening with the successful conquest of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea. Country after country fell with ease, and at its peak Dolhr encompassed the entirety of the continent. The tide was turned with the rise of Caldas's resistance army, and with the death of Medeus himself at the hands of Anri and the Falchion, Dolhr crumbled and fell by the year 498. After the empire's fall, Manaketes continued to live in the region in a state of poverty.

Dolhr was restored in the year 598, a year after the revival of Medeus himself by Gharnef, and in the year 600 again assaulted the countries of mankind with the goal of domination of the world, in a conflict known as the War of Shadows. Despite the empire and especially Medeus's hatred of mankind, the army of Dolhr extensively employed human warriors in its ranks and was allied with the human countries Gra, Grust and Macedon; much of the rest of the continent fell to their immense combined might, with Aurelis and Talys the only ones to withstand. After five years of domination by Dolhr and its allies, the empire eventually fell at the hands of the united Altea/Aurelis/Archanea resistance army led by Prince Marth of Altea, wielding the Falchion as his ancestor did and using it to again strike down Medeus.
