Prolesian Successors

Overview
With the collapse of the Prolesian Empire, some kings and nobility desire to retain the Prolesian legacy. Some hold fragments of the old Prolesian societies, and most are seen within the crumbling Myzaean Empire. Though the Myzaeans were the closest to reforming, the betrayal of Andalonians wrought irreversible devastation to the Myzaeans, allowing many to pick up where they had left.

These states are led by discontent nobles, desiring only the destruction of their opposing successors. While not at constant war, it is a coarse treaty of peace which is constantly disrupted with skirmishes along their borders. Regardless of diadem, these royalties and their court scheme and slaughter one another as often as they do their foreign opponents.


 * The Prolesian Republic, or better recognized as the Assembly of Republics, prefers to rest cautiously in the Prolesian Sea. Only recently has the Republics finally organized themselves to reconquer territory, yet with short terms, the Leader of the Republics can only commit to one military campaign if his bribes are hefty enough. Unlike the other Successors, the Republics rely on Myzaean bankers and mercenaries. Many in the Assembly question whether or not they are truly free from Myzaea.
 * The Styrian Empire, or the "Empire of Merovius", is a state established centuries ago by the Prolesian General Merovius. Originally tasked with thwarting Kherjians from the partially loyal region of Styrium, after his stunning victory of wrestling the land from the occupiers decided to declare himself Emperor. Without the consent of the Prolesian senate, he was declared a tyrant yet nothing could be done. The Styrians have spent their armies against the Myzaeans.
 * The Kingdom of Andalonia is one formed through treachery, and the Andalonians, alongside their Varandian cousins, upset the balance of power within the Mare Umbilicum. With the weakest claim, the Andalonians believe Right of Conquest is their legitimacy, and with their Warrior-Kings, they show ferocity like no other. Through campaigns religiously driven known as "Crusades" they have conquered what was believed unconquerable. Andalonians are abrasive and blunt, they rarely scheme and because this they are predictable.
 * The Myzaean Empire is one with the strongest claim. With many aristocrats fleeing to the city of Myzaea, believed to be the city second to Prolesia, they re-established themselves and proclaimed the new capital of the Empire. Due to the chaos however, many who remained on the Prolesian island refused this change. Their reasoning was that the Senatorial Assembly required 100 Senators to legitimize the verdict, and only a few dozen had fled to Myzaea. With technicality, the Lakonians were now the heirs of Prolesia, and by the 2nd Century the Myzaean Empire conquered nearly all of the Mare Umbilicum which included the Prolesian island. However their collapse came with the invasion of the Northmen, which saw the loss of their northern territories.
