<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Chapter II: L'Imperi Mirevalenc</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">Capital:</span> <span class="mu-i"> Mascaloma </span>
<span class="mu-s">Form of Rule:</span> <span class="mu-i">Hereditary Imperial Election</span>
<span class="mu-s">Faith:</span> <span class="mu-i">The Church of Splendour</span>
<span class="mu-i">Amidst the states and crowns of all the land, few shine as bright as the crown of Mirevale; from their seat of power in Mascaloma, they are the largest nation in the entirety of the continent of Mauva, with territories spanning as far as the Meio lands of Samica in the south and the deserts of Fasia in the west.</span>
<span class="mu-i">Their origins lay in the tribes of western Mauva; safe from the reaches of the Himmerian Giants and their rule over the eastern continent by way of the Ascarpian Mountains, the kingdoms born from these tribes fought over the dominance, and from one of these kingdoms, came Mirevale; born from the conquests of the Kings of Mascaloma, the then-converted warriors spread throughout the entire region and beyond, estabilishing the empire as it is today...</span>
You start flipping through the pages, skipping all the parts you already know by heart.
<span class="mu-i">Amidst the most powerful forces of Mirevale are the Holy Orders, most notably of which is the Brotherhood of the Santor Cor...</span>
<span class="mu-i">The conquest of Samica opened the gates for a flood of serfdom, with the most exotic of half-men becoming a symbol of status in the courts...</span>
<span class="mu-i">The creation of a pool of capable heirs required the estabilishment of princely states they could rule to prove their worth...</span>
<span class="mu-i">Upon the death or abdication of the Emperor, the Prince are recalled to Mascalona to make their case before the Electorate and gain their votes to attain the crown...</span>
Alas, you are hit with disappointment. It would seem that most of the information about Mirevale seems to be no different from that of the last edition, save for mentions of new territories recently gained in the west by Emperor Teodor's crusades. <span class="mu-i">"It may be true that these things did not change, but could they not at least bother to rewrite it...?"</span> Maybe you'll have more luck with finding interesting excerpts from the more distant lands...
Before you are able to consider what to choose next, however, you suddenly hear a voice; it is Joan.
"Sir, I am here to notice you of the arrival of a messenger..."
"Send the letter to my quarters and I'll read it during the night." you answer, not feeling like browsing through what is most likely just another social correspondence.
"I would advise against it, sir. The messenger bears the golden seal."
You have already gotten up.
