Editing Basilea (section)

==Background==
Primovantor was the ancient human republic that united all of humanity before the God War. After the shattering of the Fenulian Mirror however, civil conflict arose in the great nation. As the centuries passed, more and more provinces of Primovantor declared independence and revolted. As many of these succeeded in their efforts to secede, the once great nation slowly sank in size. By the time of the Winter War, Primovantor was a shell of it's former glory.

When Winter was defeated, the resulting worldwide earthquakes and flooding drowned the land of Primovantor. Virtually the entire territory remaining of the nation was flooded, with only two major cities surviving; Primovantor, the capital city, and the Golden Horn, perched atop the mountain range between Primovantor and Abercarr. This mountain soon became a small swath of land between the Low Sea of Suan and the Sea of Eriskos.

Refugees from the many human nations destroyed in the cataclysm soon fled to the Golden Horn. This made the city unstable politically, but also made it the cultural center for most of humanity. As the [[elves]] splintered into numerous nations and the [[dwarfs]] retreated underground, determined to no longer participate in the affairs of the surface, the Golden Horn found itself under constant siege from [[orcs]] and the forces of the Abyss.

A handful of surviving Shining Ones had taken up residence atop Kolosu Mountain outside the city. Though they rarely interacted with Basilea, it was not unheard of for them to aid the city in battle. With their aid, the leaders of the Golden Horn managed to hold the city together. The leader of the city is known as the Hegemon, who is in turn supported by the Hegemonic Court and the Duma of Nobility.

Basilea is very conservative, valuing faith and honor above all else. Temples still stand to the [[Celestians (Kings of War)|Celestians]] and there is relative peace and stability. Being watched over by literal gods however, tends to make them really arrogant. It also is a major trade hub, occupying the only land route between Abercarr and the Successor Kingdoms. There is also a tendency for religious violence to break out in times of crisis.

Currently Basilea is at odds with both the Brotherhood and the [[Golloch Empire]]. King Golloch of the dwarfs, in particular, claims the city as the birthright of all dwarfs and covets the great trade wealth it has. Basilea is also the nearest nation to the Abyss portal in Tragar, meaning it is often a target of Abyssal Dwarfs and the more demonic forces of the Abyss. Protecting the cities and territories are several legions of Men-at-Arms as well as numerous orders of paladins and sisterhood troops, as well as the angelic Elohi.
