Vitelia- once, that name referred to an Empire, its great cities peerless jewels glittering in the west. Its dawn had occurred in the twilight days of another legendary nation, that of Nauk Imperial, which collapsed into ruins in the twelfth century since its birth at the edge of the continent’s recorded history. Straddling the continent of Vinstraga from north to south, the wealth of two worlds passed through its roads and seas, and for two hundred years it prospered. However, misfortune after misfortune weakened it, and when the Dheg Khanate surged forth from the far west and destroyed the First Empire, it would never be reborn. The Second Vitelian Empire’s rise and fall was unstoried and ignominious compared to what came before, and the Kingdom of Vitelia that rose from the ashes of that, struggled to reach even that height before the Kingdom’s ambitions were thoroughly quashed by the rise of Alexander and his Grossreich.

It has been just over one hundred years since Kaiser Alexander’s death, but his Reich remains- and though Vitelia is outwardly beautiful and peaceful, its people resent how it cowers in the shade of Zeissenburg. The west was left behind in history by the rest of the continent, and its antique-styled architecture is a lovely yet melancholy reminder of not only what once was, but how very long it has been since. Not every monument was torn down by the Dheg, but every newer celebration of triumph cannot help but try to imitate what one was, rather than what is at the time. To many outside of Vitelia, the history of the diadem of the west ended with the Dheg- but Vitelia itself is not so ready to be forgotten quite yet…

One day, you would become one of the most powerful people in this old and worn country, the Consul of the Revolution, to make your own bid on making it great again, though back when it all began, you couldn’t have known what prodigious tracks you’d be set on.
