Florenta
More actions
Out of the fiery remnants of the old cosmos, holy Ibarados gathered together the remains to form the new universe. With a single word, the old order rearranged itself into the new. The infinite potential of the old universe was finally made manifest. So, faithful, why do you mourn the loss of the old? Is it not the nature of things to break down only for the new to take their place?
The old shall be recycled, broken down into their elements, and restored anew. -Titania, prophet-queen of Florenta
Florenta was a large theocracy located entirely on Eos located mostly on its inner ring. Under the direct rule of the founder of Ibaradism, Titania, the nation was a major player on Eos after the fall of the Triumvirate Civilization of which Ibaradism was the official state religion. Florenta retained a great amount of influence until the death of Titania and the subsequent Great Empyreal Crusade which ultimately resulted in the conquest of the nation by Erstes Konsortium.
The state had its origins in the early Triumvirate Civilization as the vast governmental apparatus of the nation became increasingly decentralized. Titania, at the time one of the three rulers of the Triumvirate, set aside vast amounts of funding for the state church. With the great income, it created its own military, police force, and taxation centered on the city of Alphos, Eos. The collapse of the central government caused The Three to go their separate ways, dividing it into a large number of smaller sovereign states. With a choke hold on the largest religion on Eos, Titania retained a great deal of influence.
Atlins from Florenta owned vast swathes of land and the emissaries to various nations were treated as kings in their own right. At the height of Florenta's influence, it controlled, directly or indirectly, over a third of Eos and was well on its way to full reunification. Its main competitor, Erstes Konsortium, proved resilient to Florenta's influence. The rise of the Neo-Terranist religion nullified Florenta's influence in Erstes Konsortium by 84,417 CE as they conquered the mega-city of Lowa. The supreme leader of the Neo-Terran Party, Hal Drusus II personally killed Titania in 85,281 CE. The government reorganized into Empyros shortly thereafter, a far more militant state that began the Great Empyreal Crusade.
