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.
Post-Secession Values
It was after the War of Allison that Libero Empire began to trust itself far more than its allies due to the betrayal of their allies, and long-time friends, Raivan Empire.
Banners
Many banners have been created to display Libero Empire's values. Symbolism of values is important to the nobility and is reflected via the proposed banners: Banner Archive.
Diplomacy
Current
- Stratford Treaty of December 22nd - Peace arranged between Libero Empire and Xinhai after the War of Allison.
Past
Triumvirate Alliance
An alliance of Raivan Empire and Libero Empire(Twin Empires), along with Aquilegia. Built to defend themselves from Allison Kabrinski and Xinhai, resulting in War of Allison. It broke apart when Libero Empire realized the Raivan Empire and Aquilegia were not working together as agreed upon before the war.
History
Our history is young, but is being chronicled in detail by Sejieda Vita.
Year Two - The Wars of Expansion
Year Two of the Empire begins on December 22, 2009 and continues through March 15, 2010.
Mt. Black Nastrond's Reacquisition
With the threat of Xinhai stabilized and betrayed by our allies, we felt unable to rely upon foreigners. Therefore, we sought to increase our own strength through expansion. Declaring war against the Raivan Empire, we took Mt. Black Nastrond. This region was formerly part of Morek, but had joined the Raivan Empire to avoid joining us. It was intended to be returned to us, but the matter had been postponed during the war with Xinhai. Taking back that what was rightfully ours, half of us then worked to solidify our presence among the population while the other half refit. We had not returned to our duchy since embarking to assist the Raivan Empire with their takeover of Aegir's Deep. Mt. Black Nastrond was entrusted to Orris Morton.
Monster Hordes
During this time, a large monster horde struck Yaren. The size was unprecedented and had not been seen since the scoutings of vast rogue territories such as Nifel Peninsula or Unterlands. Those who had finished refitting turned to defeat them while another half of Mt. Black Nastrond left to refit. More monsters appeared in the mountains with only a quarter of our army remaining in the region(still having not refit for some weeks). Both monster groups continued to be crushed despite our disadvantages.
Government Changes
Meanwhile, Queen Alanya Costella changed the government system from council members being elected quarterly by all nobility to appointment by the ruler. A few disagreed with this discussion, but it was explained that we were a monarchy, while still being liberal in our policies; additional explanation was that it allowed the council to do their duties without having to be politically subject to popular whim that could be incorrect.
Aquilegian Plague
Soon afterward, Pasha Blatkovetchkin, a priest of Sanguis Astroism, sought to join Aquilegia. Aquilegia had recent suffered a plague(ooc: multi-cheater leaving the game) leaving it with fewer nobility than regions and no Emperor(ruler), Overlord(general), judge), Duke of Flowrestown, or lords of Flow or Fatexna. Tithe Overseer(banker) Maximus Westfall, Count Caxias Flowres of Turbul, and Viscount Bowie Ironsides of Ashrak.
Morek War Completed
With the time available to devote to finishing their first war, Libero Empire turned back towards Nifelhold. Undertaking two brutal takeovers due to the worship of Morek within the stronghold capital, the peasants and minor nobility were finally purged from Morekian and Virovenian influence. Older minor nobility from the days of Springdale were re-appointed to the civil service ranks while Marquis Rohk Darksun of Cold Spring renounced his claim upon Cold Spring in order to be appointed due to an older claim to Nifelhold from his family.
