Overview
Karanal is, perhaps, the epitome of power on Gaeleth.  The Empire of Karanal was around for several centuries before it joined the Karatikan Alliance, and has existed for a half millennium since the fall of the alliance.  The empire is broad and fertile, with a strong infrastructure and strong people.  Politics in the Empire are cutthroat and vicious, and only the shrewdest of men can play off its churches, against its military rulers, its people, and against other nobles.  Because Karanal shares a border with the holy city of Karmen, the power of the church is especially strong, and has allowed several Empresses to sit upon the strictly secular throne.  The War of the Undead was particularly hard on Karanal, with its vast numbers of ancient, unhallowed cemeteries.  Karanal also has some of the oldest ruins in the known world, having been a site of continual occupation for the past ten millennia.

Bonuses
Because of their long-entrenched bureaucracy, wide-spread education system, a history of military professionals, and its ties to the church, the citizens of Karanal receive a +2 racial bonus to all Profession and Knowledge checks.

Karanalese citizens receive the following as regional feats for selection:  Extra Turning, Diligent, Mounted Combat, Negotiator, Power Attack, Rapid Reload, Two-Weapon Fighting.
