Tymenian Empire

A chugging sound in rhythm is broken by the compact chord of a pair of chiming whistles. The noise rolls on as do the wheels on the track, which slowly grind to a halt as the train arrives at its station. The leather clad Human steps out onto the platform with her arquebus and bag in tow. She makes a stop at a local guild, gathering supplies for the road before heading out and hunting her quarry. She returns with the beast's hide in three days. She brings it to the constabulary and leaves with a heavy bag of gold. Minutes before her train home departs, she stops by the shrine of Io and leaves her tithe.
  Dusk falls over the eastern coast, and the folk hustle into their abodes to bolt them shut. Another night of watch for the Cleric, they sup their warmed cider and say a prayer as the last door clambers closed. A Gold-scaled Dragonborn armored in chain strides forth atop his horse; the pair share a drink and a laugh. As a ghastly mist parts to reveal a decayed ship nearing the town, the pair embrace before preparing for the battle to come.
  The metallic banging of a host of toiling laborers is music to the ears of the Tiefling walking the bannister above. His efforts have paid off, and his takeover of the mining pit by cutting a deal with a desperate foreman will soon begin to yield the true target below. He escorts the Halfling sent by the Countess to ensure his organization was still all within the confines of the law; he knows he can't make his play just yet. As a day's work comes to an end, he tours the mine shaft and gestures to the devil with him to break through the wall and reveal the treasure within.
  The Tymenian Empire is a racially diverse, expansive geopolitical supergiant that was formed while the giants still walked the realms. It was formed of a multitude of ancient kingdoms united under the common banner of the dragon goddess, Io. The Empire is a theocratic monarchy in which its citizens are torn between their own desires to get ahead financially, their desires to serve the crown of their deity, and their own pursuits.
  This Background is available to the following races: Human, Hill Dwarf, Longtooth Shifter, Lightfoot Halfling, Half-Elf, Tiefling, Kobold, Rock Gnome, Tabaxi, Fire Genasi

Suggested Characteristics

The wide range of the Empire's borders leaves much room for different types of people to develop. Most adventurers are worshipers of Io that seek to expand her influence, people looking to complete a quest, or those looking to strike it rich as a result of a resource discovery.
  Because there's so much diversity in the Empire's background, a character has quite a bit of room to determine their adventurer's call. Are they traveling on business? Do they have a relative they're looking for? Are they on a holy mission?
