Description Heinach is Hayon's great adversary for the domination of the West.
In a close parallel to the history of the Roman empire on Earth, Hayon's brother state, the empire of Axion, was invaded and destroyed by barbarians from the north after it had been weakened by severe civil wars and revolutions and a terrible epidemic. Defeating the Axionite empire was the cabal of evil sorcerers known as the 'Black Order'. Terrified by the risk of ethnic contamination and the different religion of the barbarians, the black sorcerers, at the head of which stood the last emperor of Axion, Keus V, turned to necromancy, conjuring up the spirits of the dead and hordes upon hordes of skeletons, zombies, spectres and other creatures of the night.
King Ardus of the Hein, the foremost people among the barbarians, defeated King Keus in single combat and destroyed the black order and their evil creations, giving birth to the core of the Heinach empire.
Heinach is less populated than Hayon, and makes much less use of heroic spirits summoned from Earth. However, the use of technology is certainly not inferior to that of the Hayonites, and indeed, where Hayon still uses feudal military tactics, Heinach is already moving towards the use of modern firearms (albeit powered by magic).
The capital of Heinach is the city of Heisen, known as the most powerful and impregnable military fortress on the continent of Oldnna. The current ruler is the young but ambitious Harin VII.
For now, Heinach has not yet decided to stand against Cleopatra and Hayon, although the appeals of the small neighbouring nations are growing louder, but few believe that the hour of battle is far off.  

The flag depicts the imperial eagle, which is said to have led Ardus onto the battlefield.
One therefore finds the black eagle in a black diamond and on band on a field of gold.
In the centre of the eagle is an irregularly quartered heraldic shield of Amaranth and lapis lazuli blue, which contains the heraldic symbols of the imperial house of Waltein, the wolf and the horse.
