The Founding of Regnum: The Spark of Ambition
The founding of Regnum began with the discovery of an ancient artifact deep in the jungles of Feravil. It was a relic of an old civilization—its origins a mystery—imbued with power that allowed its wielders to begin reshaping the land itself. Using these artifacts, the settlers were able to begin clearing the jungle, shaping the land to their will, and constructing the first stone buildings. These initial efforts, while small, attracted settlers from surrounding areas, and thus, the city began to grow.
The first settlers weren’t just ambitious, they were visionary. They dreamed of creating a city that would serve as a nexus of culture, trade, and influence, a place where the best minds could come together to shape the future. What began as a small settlement around the relic grew into a prosperous town, known for its skilled artisans, farmers, and merchants.
Expansion and Growth: The Golden Age of Regnum
As decades passed, Regnum expanded beyond its borders. The city-state's rulers, believing in their divine right to shape the future, sent expeditions into the Wilds to claim more land. They cleared forests, drained marshes, and built roads that stretched farther than any had dared before. With every inch of the land that was claimed, Regnum's power grew. New districts were established, some focused on industry, others on the arts, but all connected by the growing infrastructure of the city.
Regnum's influence stretched across Feravil—and then, much further. The settlers began harnessing the natural resources of the land, tapping into powerful veins of minerals, energy sources, and even magical forces that lay beneath the surface. The city developed a complex system of canals, roads, and trade routes that spread like veins across the planet's surface, linking the city to outlying colonies and settlements.
The Age of Industry and the Rise of Technology
By the time Regnum had grown into a sprawling metropolis, it had entered an age of technological and industrial advancement. With the advent of machinery powered by both magic and engineering, Regnum expanded even faster. Factories belched smoke, and vast networked railways connected the city to remote regions, further entrenching its hold over the land. New inventions, innovations in agriculture, and rapid urbanization led to population booms, creating a hunger for even more land to settle and exploit.
In this age, the city’s ruling class became obsessed with progress—pushing forward without regard for the natural world. Regnum’s leadership, through a combination of military conquest and economic domination, spread to every corner of Feravil, slowly transforming it into a metropolis that took up more and more of the planet’s surface.
