Veracia

From The Heretic Knowledge Vault

Veracia is a large nation situated upon the peninsula to the east of Tsuiraku and Farrel. Controlled by an ambitious, expansionist theocracy, it had significant power in Farrel, absorbed Delphiniel, and assimilated the kingdom of Lorenzel in a near-bloodless coup. Veracia would like to make another try at taking the elven nation, but knows it's not quite up to the task...yet.

Much of Veracia's impressive history is due to its association with the Ensigerum, who are not shy about using this clout against the church when it suits their purposes. Veracia also has a pet god called Luminosita.

Major cities in Veracia include its capital, Emerylon, as well as the port city Saus.

Recent History

[insert whatever happened before this]

Shortly after Veracia annexed the kingdom of Lorenzel and pulled Farrel into its sphere of influence, it made a move to conquer the rest of the continent, including the elven territory. Luminosita was sent to tear down the barrier the elves had erected between themselves and the outside world. The resulting magical catastrophe nearly caused Luminosita to lose its cohesion and physical form, disrupted magical devices all over the world, and caused the cloaking devices which hid Tsuiraku from the world to malfunction, ending that nation's period of isolationism.

An unknown amount of time after, the Mage/Priest Wars broke out between Veracia and Tsuiraku, the shadow of which continues to strain relations between them.
