The Libero Empire a realm based in history, looking forward to the future. Centered around the historic Duchy of Springdale, its unity is matched only by the dedication of our nobles. It embodies the lessons of both the Old Empires of Springdale and Morek, two of the founding realms of Dwilight.
Located in a historically volatile region, it is always in need of nobles. Fame, liberty, and honor await those who swear to a lord of Libero Empire.
Culture
We are a realm that has striven to be a cultural center upon Dwilight with many intellectuals residing within its borders. In some ways, Libero Empire is a northern version of Pian en Luries with our emphasis on culture. The nobles of Libero Empire have a demonym (are known as) of Liberates.
Imperial Ideals
Having gone through many shifts in the politics of northeast Dwilight, Libero Empire has taken the time to learn the lessons of their past.
Honor has always been a paramount virtue of our land. When one swears an oath, it is to be kept whether one agrees with the decisions of their lord or not. Oaths are to be kept by both lord and knight are go both ways. This was demonstrated when Springdale Duchy changed allegiance to Morek and the lords and knights remained true to their word. It was demonstrated yet again when Springdale Duchy seceded to form the realm of Libero Empire. Both times, there were disagreements with the action, but the realm's loyalty and honor was preserved.
Another ideal of the realm is religious pluralism, learned from Springdale Empire. This is to be contrasted with the fanatic religious singularity of Donghaiwei Duchy. This eventually led to both duchies leaving Morek due to years of disagreement on the matter.
Similar, and probably the most important, virtues are openness and liberty, also from Springdale Empire. These also contributed to the split. Donghaiwei was a closed duchy of councils and mistrust; as original duchy of Morek, they dominated the politics. Springdale Duchy felt persecuted for this and the above reason. Libero Empire has councils, but the difference is that nobles frequently petition for more knowledge of events and it is provided. The council members are also at liberty to share current discussions with the realm. Nobility remain free to run their own affairs and be knowledgeable of internal and external events.
However, lessons were also gained from Morek. The importance of foreign trade and importance of religion was gained. Diplomacy, through frequent internal discussions within Morek, was gained as well. These are things that Springdale Empire had lacked as it remained relatively isolationist and religion was ignored. Overall, these can be summarized as a focus on external affairs and involvement in Dwilight politics.
It was also while under Morek we gained our intellectual atmosphere. Duke Sammael Haine began Dwilight University while a member of Morek and it grew to include universities in numerous regions of Springdale, Donghaiwei, and Flowrestown duchies. It is true there were intellectual pursuits within Springdale Empire, but it was under Morek and Duke Sammael that it grew to a pervasive element of our culture
To summarize, Libero Empire strives for honor, openness, liberty, involvement in Dwilight affairs, and intellectual pursuit.

History
Our history is young, but is being chronicled to the best of our ability.
Early Days
Our early days consisted of dealing with regional maintenance due to confusion by bureaucrats(ooc: a bug) followed by the appointment of Sejieda Vita for general, Rohk Darksun as judge, and Marco Goodman as banker. Elections soon followed and all were re-elected. Sejieda won near unanimously with no one running against him; Rohk Darksun and Marco Goodman won handily with Orris Morton challenging Rohk and Pirtamri Scarfist challenging Marco.
Soon King Sammael Haine stepped down to allow an election. Alanya Costella, Sammael Haine, and Orris Morton ran for ruler and Alanya Costella won and was declared Queen.
Morek War
After negotiations with Nifelhold, Grandmaster Claudius insulted Queen Alanya. As a result, Libero Empire marched to Mt. Black Nastrond to take it over. Baron Kurecalle changed allegiance to Raivan Empire. The military then moved to Nifelhold and attempted two friendly takeovers which both failed. It was then ignored, but we remain at war.
Triumvirate Alliance
It was then, after quite some time of diplomatic maneuvers, that the Twin Empires of Raivan Empire and Libero Empire joined their ally, Aquilegia, against Xinhai in war.
In a joint strike, Libero Empire occupied Bohai and the Raivan Empire occupied Nimh, both beginning takeovers. Libero Empire eventually faced a battle with Xinhai, which it lost due to poor organization. Xinhai then moved to deal with Nimh and Croton of the Raivan Empire; Liberate and Raivan militaries moved to fight the Xinhaian military in Croton, but lost due to Xinhai pulling in extra forces from surrounding regions.
Soon, Astrum interfered with the war to help Xinhai attack the Raivan Empire, resulting in the Battle of Aegir's Deep. The Raivan Empire may have lost, but they cost Astrum and Xinhai serious casualties.
