The Ðanmar Empire was a Classical Period civilization of Aarð. The Empire was formed when a king of what was then the Kingdom of Ðanmar named himself Emperor shortly after his conquest of neighboring Yaþín. Eventually, Yaþinn language and culture became almost seamlessly integrated into the Imperial mainstream. (In fact, today the Yaþinn language is known only from early Ðanmarc grammars.) Over a period of several centuries, Ðanmar grew to cover much of the southwestern quarter of the continent, bordered only by the Northern Kingdoms, the Aasti tribes and the only major civilized nation it never managed to conquer, Sonyēl.
The Empire's capital was the city known as Ðanmar. Other notable localities within the empire include Yaþín, often used as a geographical region, and the Great Forest, a huge deciduous forest near the center of the empire. This was spanned by many paths in the heyday of the Empire, but in later times they fell into disuse and became overgrown.
