Contents
[hide]History
Before The Scourge, Pieda was one of a number of minor city-states along the coast of The Great Bay. After the fall of Lyndrast to the south, it was left in an advantageous position. The Isthmus it sits on was then, as now, the only safe route between the east and west halves of Omnia. At its smallest, all travelers must go through an area no greater than 5 miles in width. This reality was what caused the construction of Pieda's Gates, making the government fantastically wealthy.
