Quoted By:
It was the advice of the first of all emperors of Mirevale, the one and only <span class="mu-i">Amadeo The Great</span>, that one should always know of those he fights. You believe such advice to be wise indeed; and so, you decide to learn more about the Republic of Nera. It is in your great luck, then, that you had brought that vast and detailed book, the <span class="mu-i">Liber Regionum Mundi</span>. Retiring to your quarters (more well fitted than even that of the captain's as it was), you take a seat at the desk and open the book to its index, searching for the chapter you seek.
<span class="mu-i">Chapter I - The Land of Mauva
Chapter II - The Mirevalian Empire
Chapter III - The Princely States & The Grand Duchy of Bagra
Chapter IV - The Sudamedian Kingdoms
Chapter V - The Coast of Salta
Chapter VI - The Straccia Peninsula</span>
Ah, there it is.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Chapter VI, Section II: Serenissima Repubblica di Nera</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">Capital:</span> <span class="mu-i">Montellegaria</span>
<span class="mu-s">From of Rule:</span> <span class="mu-i">Sovereign Parliamentary Republic</span>
<span class="mu-s">Faith:</span> <span class="mu-i">The Church of Splendour</span>
<span class="mu-i">In the verdant hills and rolling plains of Straccia, Nera stands as one of its most notable states. It is the largest of all of them, yet at the same time neither the most populous, nor the wealthiest, nor the one with the most martial might—though it does greatly still in all such aspects. The reasoning behind such facts, as well as the very existance of it's modern state, can be traced back to its history...</span>
<span class="mu-i">The History of Nera proper begins, as with most Straccian states, with the Great Migration of the Uhren across the Meringian Sea. The Straccian Continent - until then only partially and sparsely populated by human tribes forced from the central plains by the expansion of the Himmerian Giants, proved no challenge for the newcomers to settle. It is said their first settlements - located around the tip of modern day Silenia - were able to quickly expand, turning the fledgleling settlements into a true kingdom. With the advent of their Amazonian Mares, these new Straccians quickly swept through the peninsula, pushing off even the Himmerians, and founding the Great Kingdom of Allegro. </span>
