Sabria, its wider sphere of influence known as the Sabrian Empire was an ancient Cacertian state that encompassed the Cacertian archipelago, much of the coastline of eastern Siduri, and parts of southeast Eracura. Cacertians founded the city of Sabria in 877 BCE and over the course of seven decades managed to establish political hegemony over other Cacertian settlements throughout the Cacertian islands. For much of Sabria’s history, it was on hostile terms with the expansionist Makedonian Empire which eventually led to a number of successive conflicts known as the Sabrian Wars.

The official agreed upon date of the Sabrian State’s foundation is considered 803 BCE when Atria Aurelia, a princess of Sabria, was voted to be the first Legatus of the Sabrian Senate having commanded Sabrian troops to victory in their conquests of the island of Sarissita. Much of Atria’s tenure as Legatus saw the rapid expansion of Sabrian influence, eventually encompassing all of the Cacertian archipelago and much of the nearby island of Lirinya. After Atria’s rule ended, her adopted son Mettius Arcadius was voted as Legatus and it was under his rule that Sabria expanded further to encompass the coasts of eastern Siduri and southeast Eracura. Despite a handful of minor conflicts with native peoples in foreign lands, the Sabrians saw several centuries of peace and prosperity brought about by their trade.

By the 300s CE, the territory of the Sabrian Empire was being slowly reduced as a result of several conflicts with the rapidly growing Acrean Empire in Eracura. The First and Second Sabrian Wars, fought between 656 and 692 CE, further weakened the Empire. Internal conflict in the 800s CE eventually led to the independence of several of Sabria’s client city-states within the Cacertian Archipelago, reducing the former mercantile state to several holdings in the northeast. In 858 CE, the old Sabrian state was dissolved under Legatus Marcus Karantus who transferred power to the Padova Family who would later go on to found the Padovan Empire.
