### Dev Diary I - The Lords of Rayne ###
Hello, everybody! As I continue to work on the map and the flags, there is one region already rife with historical intrigue... Rayne.
During older times, this region was an integral part of the Capraccian Empire. However, as internal strife weakened Imperial hold over its provinces, its hold on Renia was shattered. After a few generations, several powerful lords banded together to form the Empire of Renia - this agreement was loose, and largely for their own mutual protection. As time wore on, however, a new wave of dissatisfaction and religious turmoil shattered Renia - Now known as Rayne.

Today, several fairly stable kingdoms remain - although none currently have sworn their allegiance to the current Empress of Rayne, Her Majesty Lucienne De Nours. The religious fervor hasn't ceased, either - Cathar and Christian rulers rage against one another, even as their long-forgotten ancestors' gods near their final breaths.

Despite this sorry state of things, Rayne has remained a vital stopping point along several trade routes, thus bringing much wealth to some regional centres.

### For the Future ###
I could still use some more help with making Flags. And just as a reminder, I'm still in the process of tweaking some corners of the map. Some parts may not be 100% the like they are now by the time an Alpha is released - Especially in less fleshed-out areas of the map.
