Hello friend,
Welcome to the archives of Renatia Nova, the third edition of the epic roleplaying franchise created by -DS- in 2008.
Over the past four years hundreds of people around the world have joined together to participate in the art of world-crafting, of collaborative storywriting, and above all epic role playing in a play-by-post environment. This forum is one of many similar realms created entirely from the imaginations of its inhabitants, an impressive plethora of crafted nations that include cultures, characters, languages, maps, as well as a whole other assortment of data entirely up to the author to synthesize.
Nation-State Play-By-Post Roleplaying (NS-PBP-RP) remains a very entertaining, intellectually stimulating, and educational experience that leaves us wanting for more. Bar none the best part of the entire genre is the fan-base, the community, and the people I've met along the way in sharing our common interest.
Renatia deserves another chance. We all deserve the opportunity to relive the world we created. Check back soon for exciting news.
Sincerely,
Freeman

E. History of Saltorra
The Federation of Saltorra is composed of the successor states to several historic states and city-states. The first occasion of unified action being taken by the various settlements which occupied the space which is now Saltorra was the alliance which was created to protect against the expansion of the Yarrnorian Empire. Even from this early era, nearly three-thousand years ago, Tabora was amongst the wealthiest and strongest of the cities involved in the alliance. This alliance eventually took part in the destruction of the Yarrnorian Empire and subsequently fell apart into various independent city-states once the threat of annexation had fallen away.
At the time of the creation of the First Silnorian Empire, the various cities in the region which is now Saltorra had solidified their control over broader expanses of territory. Ostkurland and Cumany had both become rather expansive Kingdoms occupying roughly the same amount of area they do today while Tabora had become ostentatiously wealthy and the Uborican Trade League was beginning to form. These states had ignored the constant fighting and warfare of the states which developed out of the former Yarrnorian Empire, with the exception of Cumany, which subjugated the Morian Republic for a time. When the Silnorian Empire unified the quibbling states of Yarrnoria, no one seemed to notice. They went along not noticing until the expansion of this Empire began to move into the area which is now Saltorra. The old alliance was re-formed and the various states fought several defensive wars to counter the expansion of the Silnorian Empire.
After the war which destroyed the First Silnorian Empire in 432 BE and several years of attacking the remnants of that empire and ensuring no such thing would rise again, the alliance again fell by the wayside. Cumany established the March of Bonlago in the far south of their new realm in order to ensure that their proper borders would not again be threatened by the menace from the south. In 127 BE, the Cuman Revolution occurred and the monarchy was overthrown and replaced with a democracy, Bonlago’s independence stems from this event. Tabora established its modern borders by 275 BE and Ostkurland became its current incarnation in 201 BE following centuries of warfare between the Spanish and Arab residents of the area. The Uborican League fought several wars against the Silnorian Exodus which had established itself across the strait and in several of these wars fought alongside Tabora. Through this alliance, the two states became close to each other and eventually, after a Silnorian attempt to destroy their old enemies in what is now Saltorra, the alliance extended to Cumany and Ostkurland.
This time, the alliance remained and was maintained, and in 0 AE, the Articles of Federation were signed by the four, establishing the modern Federation of Saltorra. The Southern Territories, having been colonized by citizens from across Saltorra after the Exodus, joined the Federation five years later. Following threats from other states in the area and the and not willing to give up the monarchy to join the Allied States of Kobol, Bonlago joined the Federation in 18 AE, followed decades later by the last holdout, the Pearl Kingdom, in 51 AE. The Pearl Kingdom’s ascension to membership was really just the completion of an economic merger which had slowly been occurring as the Kingdom attempted to modernize its’ economy and found itself relying more and more on the Federation. With the Kingdom’s membership, the modern Federation was formed.
