Once known as the "Errant Son" of the Great Empire because of the wily and deceptive nature of its people, Dracia was one of the first regions of the Great Empire to gain its independence from the Empire during the [[Fourth Succession War]].  With the dawn of [[the Fourth Age of Man]], Dracia was positioned to become one of the few organized powers of the region, but for the last decade they have suffered under the iron grip of their Ivory Queen, a sorceress who worships the last Emperor, [[Lucasa|Lucius]] "the Heretic", as a god and she as his successor to the glory of the Great Empire.

Dracia was a relatively recent conquest of the Empire, having first come into conflict with Imperial troops in {{ICYear|1083}}. A minor squabble between a marcher lord of [[Narbonne]] and the Dracian crown resulted in warfare, which the Empire quickly took as an excuse to conquer the entire country, removing all titles from its [[Otto III Vtalasav|King Otto III Vtalasav]]. The [[House Vtalasav|Vtalasav]] family, however, recovered quickly, and regained several noble titles that they had lost in return for servitude to the Emperor.

The Dracian people recovered quickly from the conquest of their nation, and assimilated surprisingly well into Imperial society. Many nobles and bureaucrats from the country have wormed their way into the good graces of various high-level positions within the Great Houses, and many more have secured for themselves far more power than a colonial typically receives. The nation was considered mostly subdued (except for the periodic peasant rebellions in the southeast), but far too complicated to rule effectively by non-natives, and rulership of the nation has passed from one Great House to another, no single House maintaining rulership for long. [[Remus Augustilius]] of [[House Valerius]] became the colony's most recent Prefect in {{ICYear|1246}}, but he would prove to be unfit for the task of ruling the Dracians.
