Dellani's Past
Anamsis had been a feudal hodgepodge for hundreds of years, no single clan or kingdom making any large headway. Dellani was once a country of peace, it's inclusiveness and hospitality reigned as all beings felt safe within its borders.

At some point, King Tyrain was a born king, and became involved in statecraft by 3 years old. A Fae had given his Mother a gift - The Memory Mattress - ostensibly to soothe her dreams during pregnancy. The King has been influenced by the artifact, and used to to rapidly conquer over a third of the planet.

Dellani's future
The kingdom seeks to subjugate the entire planet, but multiple sects and nations have yet to submit. Between constantly insurgent activity, gang uprisings, rioting, and dyr attacks, Dellani is behind the King's schedule. To compensate, His decrees have become more and more severe.

Finally, a prophesy became public after a raid on a facility full of secret documents: The King remembered his own death! Offworlders would come to steal the mattress and he would be slain - this revelation prompted massive increases in invasive security (and assassins excited to fulfill it), so the King must now personally see the the face of anyone at Dellani's borders, typically by putting bureaucrats to sleep chemically so the faces are written to memory, therefore viewable from The Fortress where The King resides.
