Duchy of Labria

The Duchy of Labria is arguably one of the most wealthy imperial succession states. It's society is built around Patrician houses, each trying to cut out a larger piece of the pie. The Duke of Labria, Karl Davis, brother of Walter Davis and father of Alice Davis, is considered by some to only be the third most powerful person in the realm. The Patrician houses of Natasha Manren and Mauro Pezzi have become so wealthy that many believe they are above the law. Due to the placement of the placeholder peninsula, Mondeda has massive influence over Labria, for if it cut off access to the straits, the trade in Labria would all but stop. Many Patrician, including Mauro Pezzi, are against the influence Mondeda, a Tarsic country, has over the Tallian Duchy. Consequently, the Mondedan have been making it harder for Mauro to trade outside Labria, causing deep resentment towards them, and the Duke.

The Duchy of Labria was originally gifted to Urasil by Tuborh by the means of the Star of The South, an ancient relic which grants the user the legal right to the realm. Whoever controls the star controls the Duchy.
