The capital of the Empire is Miracalis, which is situated on an island. The Empire is ruled by the Sythodean dynasty - a lineage of non-human "Awoken" beings ruling over a number of different human ethnicities.

## History of The Miracaelian Realm

*Greetings, traveler!*

*Pull up a chair and rest your weary feet! The long road to the capital takes a toll on all but the heartiest of adventurers. Would you like some wine? Perhaps milk? Judging from your ghostly pallor, maybe a glass of chilled water would be more suitable.*

*Most folks that travel this way are here for business, seek refuge and to escape the worlds problems, but you seem different from the others. Maybe it's because you are different. Maybe it's because I just can't take your face seriously. Either way, stay with me for the evening. Take a moment and listen to my tales. I need the company and you look exhausted.*

*I promise you, this won't take long. Sit back and enjoy the history of our vast and diverse home, The Empire of Miracaélia!*

### The "Copper Gear" Cultures

*Many centuries ago, The lands of Sylvantia were populated by many tribes and proto-kingdoms, including the fabled Thalosians & Astherians.*

*The Thalosans populated the south of Sylvantia, settling the many valleys around the badlands. They had a notably different architecture compared to their northern and eastern neighbours. It is also here where the "copper gear" and other earliest versions of the Miracaelian technology were invented.*

*The Copper Gear, a very advanced engine, quickly spread around the lands of Sylvantia, The first non-thalosan tribe to obtain it were the Astherians. They constructed an impressive city on the coastal cliffs of Sylvantia. With the copper gear technology they were the first to invent the earliest examples of steampower and discover the mysterious "redstone" .*

*The Capital of the Astherians, "Soleilis" was the first advanced and wealthy city of Sylvantia, It was known as the center of commerce and business. It was here where neigbouring peoples learned about highly sought after feats of engineering of their southern brethren.*

*One of the most famous inventions was "Cloudfarer" - flying ships.*

*Among the tribes that made the most use of the influx and subsequent surge of technological advancement were my people, the **"Miracaelii"**.*

*Inhabiting two highly defendable islands off the coast of the mainland, Aswell as constructing merchantile settlements on the coast, It remained a minor mercantile power situated on the western coast for 2 centuries, It was until the reign of a certain ambitious queen...*

### The Tributary of The Astherians

*Our story continues with the ambitious queen of the Astherians Ibris "Rhaenyra" I. She sent an envoy to the Miracaélii people requesting tribute and vassalization under the Astherian crown.*

*Fearful of Astherian overwhelming power, the Miracaélii caved in to the queen's demands, And thus the Miracaélii were, under Astherian law, a tributary realm in their sphere of influence for nearly a century.*

*Until the **"Astral Fall"** , when "he" arrived.*

*It was during a gloomy and near moonless night that an unknown object, referred to the Miracaélii as the "Astral Vessel", fell from the sky. It wasn't until 9 days later that an expedition aboard a cloudfarer came upon the mysterious wreck. Members of the expedition were subsequently confronted by a tall-ish, humanoid male with long hair and peculiar ruby eyes.*

### A Mysterious Arrival?

*- Ha, I was so giddy full of excitement to tell you about this, You ready \*hic\* ole' buddy?*

*- Ooooh yes, You didn't know the invictor was not of this world? Tis' but a rumour, One that I believe, I mean, he looks nearly nothin' like us!*

*- Alrighty, the spicy details entail that he hails from a "Helior" , I was suprised to hear, Just like yourself!*

*The expedition was lead by a crew consisting if 3 experienced cloudfarers: captain "Haennnsis" Of The Hanseatic House, merchant "Sona" Von Rehim, and "Danyul" Solaricus "The Traveller", explorer and cartographer.*

## Miracaelia, "City of Clockwork" !

Miracaelia, the City of Clockwork, is one of the oldest living capitols on Sabrim, rivaled in age only by Illoreana, its oldest enemy.

Miracaelia was founded on the centre of a small island near the centre of Sabrim. Located on the edge of the Birch Forest, the city is well known for the massive cliffs surrounding the walls.

As one of the oldest towns, Miracaelia is also one of the safest. With massive walls and tall cliffs on all sides the city is viewed as a sanctuary for many looking to escape past problems and wars.

Rich in many resources and having many friends Miracaelia thrives and at one time, stood as the largest city on the server with nearly 30 citizens. Like most cities however most play seldom while a core group played most often.
Miracaelia also holds a place as a member city of the "The Ring Of Concord" alliance. The Concord aim to bring down their enemy, Amastre, and return growth and expansion to Sabrim where, under Amastre's reign, nearly all towns in the region had disappeared.
