Confederacy of Vitae

When the Divine Empire fell, many duchies in these lands were destroyed and taken over by the Iconian Empire. They never recovered, even in the Fifth Age, Current Age. These small countries saw the aggressive expansion of Divine Monarchia and decided to band together into a confederacy. Each an independent country (counting nearly twenty) that is mostly ruled by a Baron, than a Duke or Crown Prince, but all share the same goal - survive and push back the Divine Monarchia. Many believe that the confederacy will fall from within, as that many rulers in one place, only one can survive in the end.
