L’antico Impero

Some say that the ruins that are spread throughout the northern half of the Halawala continent are remnants of the first civilization on Tangia. Whether fact or fiction, many people believe that the first inhabitants of the world appeared ages ago, transported from another world. At one point, L’antico Impero stretched over much of Halawala, across the Sea of Kings into the norther eastern portion of Mantioch as well as across the Three Land Sea to Torland and the western coast of Mantioch and across the northern part of the continent. But corruption within the government reduced the country’s ability to respond to rebellions or invading countries, and L’antico Impero has shrunk to its current borders. [Need more details]

History
Over 1000 years ago, the L'antico Impero covered large sections of the continents of Halawala, Torland, and northern portions of Mantioch. Present day nations of the Commonwealth of Cartu and portions of The Oaken Duchies got thier start from being conquered by the Imperium. The empire could not hold such massive tracts of land from their core kingdoms and over time kingdoms broke off to start their own destiny.

Just over 800 years ago the great volcano Savenian, or La Lie Pa, to the native Halawalians exploded setting off massive fault shifts under the earth for thousands of miles, all across the empire. Famine and disease spread over the next few years as crops withered and water spoiled from the blackened sun and global temperature drop. The empire could only seek to protect citizens and not the colonies and was forced to withdraw troops back home and closer to the core lands in reaction to monsters coming down from the mountains seeking food.

What is now The Oaken Duchies was first to declare independance. Nolbis (which means 'great leader'), later changed to King Alagar Rathburn was once a general in the Imperium's army and chose to stay behind with his native wife and family. Over the next few hundred years, more sections gave way with frontiers pushed back to coastal Cartu and off the coast of Torland. Finally the last plantations of Cartu were given freedon in a deal with the local nobles during the Three-Sons War back home.

Today much of the past glory is lost from what once was a great empire. At the greatest extent, the sun never set on this empire. There is new blood in line of the Noblis and young nobles and senators alike are rallying to the banner of expansion once again.
