History

Originally a modest polity centered around the city of Larisiphon, the fledgling state seized its moment, thriving on trade and exploiting the instability of its neighbors. What began as a city-state soon blossomed into an empire, mirroring the grandeur of its forebear—the Poscaean Empire. Larisiphon’s culture and governance were deeply rooted in the ideals of Poscaean antiquity and the hierarchical social structures of the ancient Aetian and Seleutine worlds.
By 430 AR, Larisiphon had toppled the neighboring Siparian monarchy, annexing its entire realm and crowning itself as the new regional overlord. For centuries, the empire waged intermittent wars against Morosia, fueled by a relentless desire to reclaim the territories once held by the Seleutine and Poscaean empires. Each conflict edged Larisiphon closer to reviving the fragmented legacy of its storied predecessors, cementing its place as a central force in the region's history.  Most recently, Larisiphon and the Alexian Empire have been engaged in a bitter rivalry, vying for power both in conflict and by covert means.
