The Continental Sovereignties

Tiamat Aftermath
The third fiendish incursion enacted out by devils rip and tour Sanctus to pieces, the whole structure of the republic breaking down. Leaving the once conquered people leaderless, and with no governance. Some took this opportunity to reform the kingdoms that existed before Sanctus expanded to an empire and later became an republic. They took advantage of the infrastructure that the Sanctuns built that survived the return of Tiamat. Additionally to this, with many of the ruling nobles of the Bordelais houses being killed in the Tiamat Crisis, their heirs fought for power, and some even against the Grand Duchess and the city of Orleans. This created small wars among countrymen, disregarding the Lady's teachings, and those still loyal to her ideals stayed true to the structure of Bordeaux. But those that no longer wished to play the game after the Tiamat Crisis decided to form their own sovereign nations and kingdoms.
