Diana Theatre

The Diana Theatre was constructed at some point, likely shortly after the new capital of the Principality of Clifia was constructed.
The story goes that the theatre was constructed by a rich young widow that had lost her husband and two sons in one of the expansion wars that Clifia was involved in during the period. And as an attempt to make sure that entire families didn't die out because of the wars, she campaigned for a law that would prevent all the male members of the family to be sent to the wars, after a couple of years of campaigning she gained the support of some of the noble houses who had also lost several male members to the wars, because of her the law was implemented and when she died decades later still as a widow, a new theatre was named in memory of her.

Purpose / Function
