The Celestial Principality of Berith.

History
Founded 200 years ago by Royal Archmage Rith from the Kingdom of Danassi. The city flourished quickly but was often ignored by the Kingdom, most of the economy was self-contained and there was hardly any interaction with the outside world. After the Danassian coup d'etat, Archmage Rith announced the independence of Berith with the help of notable friends like Chief Engineer Bane and Royal Alchemist Celius. After an outstanding diplomatic battle against Danassi's new council, Berith was granted it's independence.

After Rith's return he proclaimed the new state neutral to outside politics and with the help of C.E. Bane and R.A. Celius founded The Metis University. The city rapidly became the education mecca of the world.
