Vescarium, officially known as the Mandate of Vescarium, is a country located on the planet of [[Anteria]]. Vescarium is mostly landlocked, though it controls a small corridor to the sea. It is bordered by Kiyortza to the west, Fichmanistan to the south, and Shadoveil to the east and southeast. The nation's capital city if Csatorna, which lies along the Sivuk Gulf coastline near the Shadoveilan borders. Vescarium is a diverse nation both ethnically and linguistically, hailing to the variety of ethnic groups of it's neighbors and the influence of foreign settlement in it's modern territories. Urban centers are concentrated along the country's natural rivers, man-made barge canals, or near deposits of rare resources such as diamonds.

Vescarium has been inhabited for thousands of years, though no clear evidence as to when the first settlers of the Ioctocanes, the native people of the Vues Desert and the plains north of it, first arrived in Vescarian territory. The borderlands of the southwest, northwest and northeast, being much more forgiving climates, had historically seen settlements of the other major ethnic groups in Vescarium; the Iestine in the southwest, the Riyaki near the mountainous western border with Kiyortza, and the Plagyors in the north along the [[Plagas River]]. However, it was not until the early centuries of the second millennia that these borderland settlers, most of which were frontiersmen and migrants from the surrounding established states, began to settle further and further on Ioctocan territory, leading to various wars between local petty kingdoms and these new, foreign states over the precious resources of the deserts and plains. For hundreds of years these states would be in flux, with the Duchy (and later Republic) of Vescarium rising to prominence.

Vescarium, officially known as the Mandate of Vescarium, is a country located on the planet of Anteria. Vescarium is mostly landlocked, though it controls a small corridor to the sea. It is bordered by Kiyortza to the west, Fichmanistan to the south, and Shadoveil to the east and southeast. The nation's capital city if Csatorna, which lies along the Sivuk Gulf coastline near the Shadoveilan borders. Vescarium is a diverse nation both ethnically and linguistically, hailing to the variety of ethnic groups of it's neighbors and the influence of foreign settlement in it's modern territories. Urban centers are concentrated along the country's natural rivers, man-made barge canals, or near deposits of rare resources such as diamonds.

Vescarium has been inhabited for thousands of years, first settled by migratory Plagyors along the fertile Plagas River in the north. Their empire eventually fell apart around the turn of the second millenia, when waves of migratory Lorfier settlers poured into the southern hinterlands of the Empire. Statelets and fiefdoms quickly formed around groups of settlers, and as the northern Empire crumbled, northward expansion by Lorfier settlers followed.. For hundreds of years the region's states would be in flux, with the Duchy (and later Republic) of Vescarium rising to prominence at the end of the 17th century. The Duchy underwent a series of upheavals that saw it become the dominant power during the early 18th century.

The Commonwealth of Vescarium was not officially unified under one political entity until 1877, when the Republic of Vescarium was able to peacefully unify the disparate states of the region, being that the nations around them were stronger and could invade and revoke the sovereignty of these states under their banners, which the small kingdoms and republics could not allow, instead submitting to a democratic Commonwealth of local states with significant autonomy at first, though this would slowly be restricted up until the 1946 First Vescarian Civil War. In the aftermath of such a catastrophic conflict, Vescarium underwent several decades of reconstruction before befalling yet another crisis, yet even this was resolved. Today, the country is recovering from a third such event, the Plagyorasian Bush War.

Etymology

The term 'Vescarium' is an outdated Old Lorfier name for the city of Escjâri, the traditional seat of power in the country. It is believed that the city was founded by the semi-mythical Esces the Founder, from which the name is derived.
