They're officially still a part of the Ikaanian Republic and pay a trade-based tax to the 'motherland - but share very little in ways of culture and internal politics with their cousins in the south.

    History

    • Early 2300s "The Great Flight": Around 75% of the population of Prometheus flees south to escape the lawlessness brought on by The Severance and The Dark Ages.
    • 2321: House Carnell rises from the ashes and forms a powerful dynasty that will go on to rule Lake City and northern Prometheus for 150 years.
    • 2472: Lake City is officially declared a republic after the aging king, Harald Carnell, dies. He only leaves a "bastard son", Rufus Carnell, with no legal claims to the throne.
    • 2473: The Kingdom of Prometheus is officially dissolved.
    • 2473: Dowager City, a small district inside Lake City, is recognized as a sovereign state, led by Lady Beatrice Carnell, the queen of King Harald Carnell.
    • 2482: At the age of 18, Rufus Carnell submits his claim to be leader of Lake City.
