The Plains

The Death of the Great House Toqare

Before anyone really had time to realize, the name 'Toqare' had become 'Toqare de Sopra' which swiftly became simply 'de Sopra'. It was later agreed by most that the name change was for the best, symbolic of a break from the darker days the Plains had endured, where the nobility had ruled from up high while the common people slaved away on the fields below. With Lisabetta Toqare de Sopra came a new age of representation and dialogue between noble and commoner, creating a welcoming and jolly environment of cooperation between all the peoples of the Plains.

There were, however, two ceremonies created to commemorate the tragic events that occurred: the first was to remember all those lost to the volcanic eruption of Mount Sopra, in which the Grand Duchess herself would walk to the top of the mountain and sing a lullaby so that the angry fire of Mount Sopra might be calmed, and peace in the region maintained; the second, a ritual reminiscent of Lisabetta's linking to the great sphere, servs to remind one and all that each and every member of the Plains forms but one small part of something much greater than just themselves.

Over time, Mount Sopra became a central point of diplomatic relations for Esharian, with ambassadors and representatives travelling from all corners of the known world to gather in the de Sopra halls. It is said that the marital relations of the de Sopras played a key part in the political growth of the region, but whatever the reason, the influx of rich and powerful visitors saw trade boom in the Plains. Merchants would once again flock to the slopes of the mountain to buy and sell valuable goods, and this time, under the leadership of Grand Duchess Lisabetta, the advantages of that wealth were seen and felt not just by the nobility, but by those they were bound by duty to protect.

Grand Duke Mango Toqare

Here stands Grand Duke Mango Toqare, forever remembered for the fiery passion with which he sought to lead his people into a better future.
