Laetin Empire

The Laetin Empire was an ancient Human nation which spanned most of the continent of Sano.

Geography
The Laetin Empire once spanned most of the continent of Sano, from the Burano Peninsula to the west to the fertile plains of the east.

History
The Laetin Empire was originally divided between city-states ruled by the Laetin people. During the Pre-Katholian Era, the city-states united against the Fera tribes to the north and the Ork kingdoms to the southeast under the banner of Caius Vitellius. The Laetin Empire eventually expanded to encompass most of Sano. However, much of this expansion was built on conquest and the enslavement of the Fera tribes and Ork kingdoms.

During the reign of Emperor Kaeso Vitellius, there was a drought in the Central Western provinces, causing severe famines to sweep the empire. The rich began hoarding the remaining food and wealth for themselves — far more than they needed — while the poor were left to starve and die. The poor eventually rose up against the rich, leading to a civil war. Much about the history of the war is unknown, though the Empire was forced to abandon most of its northwestern provinces.

With it's weakness' revealed, the weakened empire suffered from the War of Deliverance, led by Junia Servana, who brought a barbarian army from the unconquered lands of Sano. Slave revolts enamored Junia's campaign exploded across the Laetin Empire. The war ended with Sortis being sacked by Junia's Army and Emperor Gallus Vitellius surrendering.
