Pieda (old page)

Pieda is a state in Omnia that borders Aurelia to the west, the Kaelmar province of Eastbay to the east, The Great Bay to the north, and the Scourged Lands to the south. Although it has a strong seafaring culture, it is primarily a land power, gaining tolls from land travel across Omnia.

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 TBD 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.
