Imperia

Imperia is one of the provinces in the continent of Teriv. Its capital is Delta's Meet.

Imperia, while not technically the seat of power in Teriv, is the cultural and cosmopolitan capital of the continent, and in some ways more influential, particularly the city of Delta's Meet.

Rife with culture imported from all corners of the world, Delta's Meet is a metropolitan utopia, but also saturated with the elements of corruption and indecency that can come from decadence. Imperia was also, formerly, home to the town of Highpoint to the north of the province, which was unfortunately annihilated during the Banesbreak when Oris Ki’dyr-Southmarch was destroyed.

Imperia was once, centuries past, considered the governing seat of Teriv, ruling through a council that was often derogatorily described as a plutocracy. This was until its southern territories united under the banner of the Southmarch family - per legend the original settlers of Teriv - fighting for their birthright as kings and queens of Teriv. This uprising was ultimately successful, and a Southmarch monarch has led Teriv ever since. That is, until the rise of Oris and the death of Ianna Southmarch in 840 PT.

Imperia, once a vassal state of the Republic during more tumultuous times in Teriv’s history, is now technically sovereign, although many still consider it to be in the Republic’s grip. It has culturally mirrored the south of the Fromlands in nearly every way, and is led by a small council of oligarchs and powerful families, a facsimile of the Republic’s senate. Its capital is the relatively more progressive and metropolitan city of Delta’s Meet.
