“Instead of warring, the people of Desnord and Taléria sung songs and crafted arts when they weren’t tending to their farms and livestock. They traded stories along with finely forged sickles and shovels.”

GEOGRAPHY
Biomes: Temperate broadleaf, montane, high alpine, chaparral, wetlands, and tundra
History: For millennia, the four tribes of Lacuserra lived relatively peaceful lives in their Tribal Territories (est. roughly 4,000 YBP): Tuttuán along the north shores; Flüschen in the northern forests and mountains; Desnords in the west and central Lacuserra; and the Yiúsians in the south.
2,250 YBP, King Savas the 1st, a self-proclaimed prophet, invented the Power religion and established the Yiúsian Empire with the Boar as their emblem. The Yiús’ initiated wars in northeast Baninichi.
The Flüschen (the Bull) became a warring kingdom by 1,750 YBP, with the Bull as its banner. Under the rule of King Henry, the Desnords adopted the Power as their religion 600 YBP and initated campaigns against the Lyzivers for control over Taigas.
Following the Eleven-year War of the Titans (507-496 YBP) between the Desnords, Flüschen, and Yiúsains, the Treaty of Doroch created the Three Kingdoms Union, and the Imperium was born. The Imperial calendar began on the winter solstice as Year 1 in the Modern Era (494 YBP). The tribal territories became the twelve Palatines, all ruled under the Imperial Axis.
The Imperial Axis worked from three nexus: Millopolis, Spítheo, and Starktell, designed as a pyramid of power with Spítheo at the top. King Savas’s lineage retained ultimate authority as the Principle, while all twelve Palantines have democratic say.
