Aleida Monarchy

Background

The House of Aleida has held very substantial land holdings for at least two and a half centuries. They were distantly related to the Imperial House of Corinn via an ancestor who was an acknowledged but illegitimate son of a previous emperor. As they were Terion rather than Gamilon, never held political stature commeasurate with their wealth. This situation did not substantially change during the era of Desslok, whom they supported. The last head of the house was Admiral Alazar zar Aleida who died in action at the Battle of Sommewurth.

The Aleida Monarchy is the total lands across Nepthys and Osiris to which the Prince of Aleida is legally heir. It is a major Belkar successor, but not really a state so much as the sum of shards from a shattered glass that by happenstance devolve to a single princely monarch – if he takes his crown. Prince Gares zel Aleida is rumored to be attending a foreign school overseas under an assumed identity and has thus far demonstrated no interest in much besides student council vice chairmanship and womanizing.

Culture

All races and numerous cultures fall into Aleida holdings. The core territories, the court and the princely family's heritage are traditionally Belkan.

Elpeo

The Bolirons of Elpeo followed a particularly bloodthirsty religion involving human sacrifice that probably developed in response to the (geologically) recent formation of the Elpeo Gas Cloud that can occasionally obstruct up to half the solar energy from the planetoid's surface. The Belkar frontier reached Elpeo some eighty years ago and imperial forces invaded and occupied the country for the sake of good sensibilities as well as the significant Claria and Sildron reserves. The local populace responded to every imperial measure, no matter how lenient, benevolent or oppressive with a prolonged insurgency that lasted until the imperial garrison withdrew on the eve of the General War. Nobody has mustered the gumption to retake the place since. In the interim, the Elpeoans have taken the heavy equipment left behind by the imperial evacuation to arm themselves and revival of their cherished traditions has progressed apace. Their ships have now been known to roam the surrounding area and kidnap the occasional foreigner.
