Daevite Empire

 * Government: A tribal confederation, comprising of many families, their control over territory is decentralised, meaning Umor does not own this land due to nomadic lifestyles, but they control it as if it were part of an empire. The Daevite Empire is born, but that empire will not last for the next 100 years.
 * Matriarchs:
 * Attilla (422 AD-present)
 * Capital: There is no capital as the nation is decentralised with tribes. However the leading matriarch's tribe is often considered the capital with the unofficial capital being called "Umorka" which was founded in intent of council meetings.
 * Military: The military here is predominantly men (although female sacrificers might be seen as they are priestesses too) and since they are nomadic, the military tends to be larger, focused on cavalry and much flexible than organised armies of Rome or of former China. The numbers are largely raised dramatically with an abundance of manpower available, most of it is dedicated to attacking against the Roman Empire, which reached its peak during the 430s and 440s AD.
 * 30,000 horse archers
 * 25,000 horsemen/cavalry (comprised of spears, rarely long swords and daggers)
 * 10,000 melee soldiers (comprised of spears, rarely long swords and daggers)
 * 10,000 foot archers
 * 1500 sacrificers
 * Siege equipment such as ladders, battering rams and siege towers
 * Lots of catapults, some of them were built better than others.
 * Economy: The economy relies on basic subsidence and resources around the region. With the sacking of multiple villages and towns, along with the occupation, agriculture is being revived again, but for many of the Daevites, livestock is still predominant. No trade is observed from in and out of the Daevite Empire, largely because of the current state, which is basically destroying everything in one path.
 * Demographics: Though the population of Daevites quickly became a minority after subjugating swathes of land, Daevite men will abduct women and force them into slavery.
 * Population (incl. occupied): 4,000,000 (570,000 are of Daevite or half-Daevite [meaning those that were born from a Daevite father usually] descent, 3,060,000 are non-Daevites which are not considered slaves but forced to submit and 370,000 slaves)
 * Religion: 18% Blood Gods, 28% Astryianism, 10% Christian, 44% Other
 * Culture: 14% Daevite, 26% Yin-tsu/Tistuan, 35% German, 10% Roman/Latin, 8% Dacian, 7% Other
 * Events:
 * Astryianism: The religion of Astryianism spread with every slave and non-Daevite civilian who don't like the brutalities of the Daevite culture, but are influenced by that as a way 'to free themselves' from the oppression. Slave rebellion is impossible. But there is a chance that this religion could temporarily shine through the remains of the Daevite Empire once the empire collapses to its knees.
 * Daevite Expansionism: The Daevites continued to push west and north. Much of Venetii is now confined to the settlement of Konigsberg. Daevite raiders ransack many villages and abduct many men from them. As a result, many of the Germanics in the north begin to move westward, pushing into Gaul. In the case of the Thervingi, which they were compelled to move away, they migrated south as the Daevites continue to push southward against the Roman Empire. Many might be willing to be absorbed into the Romans speculatively, but who knows what will happen next.
 * The Sacking of the Roman Empire: The peak of the Daevite Empire has been achieved by 450 AD according to contemporary scholars and historians. Tactics begin to change within the Daevite structure as the Romans begin to learn their tactics. They slowly are becoming organised in their attacks, especially when the Daevites began to besiege the Westrian city of Wien (Vienna). The Empress of the Daevites, Attilla will be present in the city, trying to raze the city to the ground after looting it of its prized possessions, ancient artifacts that stretch back thousands of years ago when Westria existed as an independent kingdom.
 * Siege of Vienna (447 AD-): The Siege of Vienna is the decisive point for Attilla's empire as the city itself was naturally fortified by hills (since Austria is largely mountainous). Even though they have broke pass the Danube river and penetrated into Thrace and Pannonia (since the basins are plains) easily before being slowed down by hill terrain in the case of Thrace and hills of Illyria, the mountains are a challenge for the Daevites and the true weakness of them would slowly be revealed to many Romans. Daevite generals scramble to create a new strategy so when they pass over the Alps, they would reach Italia in no time (spoiler: they will never go into Italia as I said before). If it goes well for Attilla, then she will basically break the natural mountain frontier and storm into Italia. (Let's see if this is a victory for Rome or me, though this is a short-lived victory, since I'm planning a collapse of the Daevite Empire by 452 to 456 AD with the death of Attilla in battle)
