[h2]☬ [u]FIRE EMBLEM: TOIL OF TRANSGRESSION[/u] ☬[/h2]

[hr]

[u][h3]Part I[/h3][/u]
For centuries, the Western and Eastern Separations coexisted in a peaceful harmony, uncompromising of the vow that their founding fathers established long ago. No major conflicts save for small disputes over land, no great war which would plunge the world into the evil it once harbored. Cliace, ruled by Emperor Deacon, has ushered into its most prominent of ages unseen for many millenia.

Though, all it takes is a single fire to light a rebellion. A few of Cliace's southern provinces have declared their independence from the powerful nation, questioning the emperor's refusal to acknowledge Cliace's potential acts of enslaving the Laguz.

After many unanswered pleas to reconsider and reports of acts of terror occurring in the province, Emperor Deacon has resolved to address such actions with force. He has mobilized a small portion of his army to quell the rebellion, and calls for the regular people to help reunite Cliace once more.

[u][h3]Countries[/h3][/u]

[hider=The Western Separation of Verus]
[h3]The Empire of Cliace[/h3]
As the continent's largest nation, Cliace has been in existence since the Great Purge. It encompasses nearly a half of the entire western separation, and all aspects of the country are very diverse. It fits the traditional kingdom archetype, its more developed 'civilization' more concentrated towards the center where the capital lies. It is currently ruled by Deacon Excellen, the 36th Emperor of Cliace.

[h3]The Queendom of Kadrein[/h3]
Located southwest of Cliace and bordering the ocean, Kadrein is primarily known for its capital, which is a point of interest for all who travel the world. While not as diverse as Cliace, its luxuries far encompass any other nation in the continent. It also has a large shipping and fishing industry, which is its main source of income. Its ruler is Queen Myra Yuan, the sole female matriarch of the continent.

[h3]The Land of Stroulia[/h3]
The nomadic northwestern corner bordering the other section of the ocean, Stroulia has no definite ruler in its midst. Its land mass consists mostly of plains and wooded areas, with very few landmarks such as castles and fortresses. As a result, there are more Laguz than usually seen anywhere else in the Western Separation, and its Beorc population consists of nomads and indigenous natives.[/hider]

[hider=The Eastern Separation of Priscus]
[h3]Vuscar, the Imperial Theocracy[/h3]
Vuscar is the sister nation to Cliace, as both were formed at the same time after the Great Purge. It is the third largest, yet, its military power and population overwhelms the Western Separation by twofold because of its compulsory military service for three years. Ruled by King Talor Skevarn, he seeks to absolve the Great Divide and unite Pyrgos as one continent, unsuccessful in his attempts to sway the Cliacian Emperor. The land is similar to Cliace, with the exception of a number of fortresses located across the Great Divide which guard its borders every minute. Vuscar is large in its mercenary population.

[h3]Estron[/h3]
Not much is known about Estron, as its borders are covered by dense forests. It is rumored to outclass every nation in terms of technological advances by far, and is said to house many factories that produce these advanced wares. It is the smallest nation, however, and lies directly south of Vuscar.

[h3]Rakaan, Land of the Laguz[/h3]
The second largest nation, comprised of almost entirely Laguz - it was founded by the Laguz survivors of the Great Purge, who then divided the country by species. It encompasses the entirety of the Eastern Coast, its geological elements varying depending on what species resides in them.

To the north, the mountains are currently being disputed heavily by the Hawk and Raven Tribes after the Eagle Tribe was forced to surrender their rule. There are many rulers because of the diverse species of Laguz, though the most prominent is King Darshan of the Lion Tribe, who serves as the representative of Rakaan.

Rakaan's borders have been recently closed off, as outsiders are unwelcomed and are viewed as troublemakers.[/hider][/center]
