Sanguis, Republic of

Since the Great Nightmare , the Republic of Sanguis has been a bit of a mystery to outsiders. It is very welcoming of commerce and tourists, health tourists in particular but outsiders can't help but feel that sometime is amiss. Most obvious is the inability by the inhabitants to identify who is the ultimate authority in the country. They can sometimes identify the local governors, high ranking military officers, tax collectors and other civil servants but no one living there can name who rules the country or even say what is her or his title. Some will point to the Healing Church as having been previously in charge but trail of when they get to the Great Nightmare. No one is able or willing to give an account of how thousands of Yharmanites died in a single night. In particular, those who were present, though they would never admit themselves will absolutely refuse to even acknowledge the event, violently when pushed hard.
Then there is the odd weather phenomenon, entire villages that seem to be in slightly different locations or configurations between two visits. None of its inhabitants remember otherwise so the outsider must be remembering wrong, right?

History

The Republic of Sanguis briefly existed as an independent theocratic state when it broke away from Orenzia in 2661 as it was engulfed in a civil war. However, it was annexed by the rising Thamassan Empire. Vampire Lord Lux and his clan governed Sanguis with an iron grip from 2693 through the Great War.
