Nation: Arriente Empire

We decided to share the info about this nation first. In the grand lore of our wastes it is one of the oldest entities that survived.

The Old Arriente Empire used to dominate the entire south and east parts of this wasteland region. It was initially founded several years after the fall of people by a group of surviving students and staff of a local university. The Build the city of Megalopolis at the crossroads of I-11 and I-20. From there they formed a mighty empire until one family took over power and moved the capital to the new city of Viente which sits on a hill overlooking the Great Radiation Sea. After several generations of bad emperors, wars, and raids from outside groups the once mighty empire was dwarfed and forced to cede lands to the south to Altis. Soon after the Empire’s withdraw from the East Plains region the Magi moved into the land. The Empire itself is run much like ancient Rome which the original founders took inspiration from. There is a Senate which holds very little power while an Emperor rules over the nation. When the empire was at its peek slavery was the driving economic force, but since falling in power the empire has had to rely on its Freemen more and more.

The Military of Arriente is the legions. They have iron armor and fight with a variety of weapons. From old world guns to javelins they master the art of warfare. They have even begun construction on a fleet at Geo Landing to dominate the sea trade.

The National currency is the EAC (Short for Emperor Augustus Coin). It is an old world American quarter which has gold over pressed into the middle of the coin. But old world coin currency can be used often without the gold press.

Hopefully this will peak your interest. For each settlement it has its own lore and resources. This is only the start and as the game develops the lore will become much deeper and take on its own life. Standby for more posts.
