Flannarian royals consider themselves to be descendants of the leaders of an old, sophisticated, and considerably pre-Ubrekti nation. Indeed, they claim relation to the same divine parentage of [[Hadiran Ubrekti]] himself. History supports this claim to some extent, and the [[House of Veromii|Veromii]] family was one of few to join the [[Ubrekti Empire]] through diplomatic and filial ties, and not military conquest. Within the Ubrekti Empire, the Vermoii family maintained significant power and authority over the eastern lands of the empire. The nation of Flannary gained its independence in 1429 [[BI]] when [[Julianna Veromii]] was given [[Imperium of the East]] when the Ubrekti Empire was divided into two administrative halves, a position which she held for ten years, when she declared herself the [[Empress of the East]] and started the [[First War of Fracture]] (also called the Ubrekti Civil War). After 25 years of war, a settlement was reached that left all of the eastern mainland, save for Ubrekt retaining control of Hakrinel (Hakan Province) as a colony. For the next hundred years, the Veromii family controlled without significant political opposition, though a successive number of uprisings and their brutal repression finally led, in 1340 [[BI]], to the [[Fresian Uprising]], also known as the [[Second War of Fracture]], which lasted for 55 years, leading to roughly the modern borders observed today. (though the Flannary/Fresia border is contested to this day)

The Flannarians of today take their ancient filial ties seriously, and see themselves as the long-standing pinnacle of art, culture, and achievement in the world. The prevailing opinion is that this status has been maintained through strict adherence to tradition and social norms, and both have a strong influence on modern Flannarian society. As such, etiquette, ritual, fashion, holidays, piety, filial responsibility, and bloodlines are critically important. Flannarians are also expected to keep the same homes and professions of their parents, and social mobility is highly stratified and restricted: nobles are expected to attend university and network, artisans pass down their trades through church-sponsored trade schools, and the poor work the land they were born on.
