The Lanagaran Scions

The Lanagaran Scions are what remains of the The Republic, a great nation which existed for 1,000 years before its sudden demise during the Cataclysm. Having controlled all of Indagar during that time, The Republic was a powerful nation which was renowned for bringed the people of the continent together through diplomacy rather than force. As a representative government, the nations of Indagar sent officials to serve in the Chamber of the People and even elected powerful Counsels to oversee the government. For 1,000 years, The Republic not only maintained the peace on Indagar but also drove all the peoples of that continent towards powerful civilizations and greatness.

However, it wasn't to last. The Cataclysm destroyed the capital city of The Republic, Konagara, and The Cabal has since overtaken the Dead Lands. Crippled by this event as well as rising inner turmoil that The Republic was unable to contain, The Republic fell and what remains of that once powerful core civilization, known as the old Republic, is now called the Lanagaran Scions. The Lanagaran Scions are at best a conglomeration of counties of the old Republic and at worst, a set of independent nations which are as much at conflict with each other as they are the foreign powers which threaten all of them. Each county is led by a different government and often is made up of a populace which traces its ancestry to a different culture than the other. Without a strong central authority, these counties are on the decline as are the representative governments they used to maintain. A power vacuum now exists, and many would-be warlords are rising to fill the void.

As a people. the Lanagaran Scions are and have also been a people of engineering and innovation. Known for a slant towards high and arcane technology, the Republic was responsible for some of the most powerful and strangest technologies to ever be invented. They used this to their advantage, having created almost all of the roads, sewers, aqueducts, and great wonders of construction all throughout Indagar. They also used this for their soldiers, having at one time a very strong, professional army led by technocratic generals. The people of the Lanagaran Scions were at one time, the pinnacle of a society led by logic, reason, science, mathematics, law, and education. This was greatly bolstered by their reliance on and addictions to Spirits.

Now, the Lanagaran Scions are struggling to hold onto what they once had all while being beset upon by the foreign forces which used to exist under the banner of The Republic. The Cabal controls the Dead Lands, and daily, the creeping death of The Reaper pushes them from the west. To the east, the Spine, and the peoples of the plains, Sand Seas, and Great Forest all threaten them as large armies are now roaming the lands. And finally, as if the ultimate betrayal, the Kingdom of Arkland no longer holds true to their ancient alliance, intent to use the Light of Arkland to push back the darkness and no longer concerned with continental unity. The future for the Lanagaran Scions is bleak, but they have survived hours much darker than this, and through ingenuity, they may yet prevail.
