For centuries Flannary was the the second largest nation of the Mainland with expansive and highly productive pastoral and agricultural lands and a highly-centralized, hereditary monarch, where virtually all wealth was concentrated in a small number of noble houses who resided in either the capital, [[Erith]] or the main trading port city of [[Civantes]] near the [[Heretic Sea]]. It was home to a powerful but independent sect of the [[Alexandrian Church]] and the [[Marrwyn Collar|final]] [[Arch-Warden]] of the unified Church was Flannari, which led to Flannary being a major battleground in the [[War of Schism]]. The nation that exists into the 1500s is even more centralized to a few cities and focused on trade and has yet to recover in either land or population much of what was lost over a century ago. | For centuries Flannary was the the second largest nation of the Mainland with expansive and highly productive pastoral and agricultural lands and a highly-centralized, hereditary monarch, where virtually all wealth was concentrated in a small number of noble houses who resided in either the capital, [[Erith]] or the main trading port city of [[Civantes]] near the [[Heretic Sea]].

Though the Flannarian government has its roots in feudal tradition, the government itself is deeply centralized. Virtually all of the power and wealth is controlled by hereditary noble houses who reside in one of a small number of large, cosmopolitan urban centers, who act as absentee landlords for the numberless peasants who toil the Flannari fields, while the rest of society has internalized feudal divisions, leading to a rigid, class-based culture. | Though the Flannarian government has its roots in feudal tradition, the government itself is deeply centralized.
