After weeks of navigating through dense jungles, the expedition stumbled upon the city of [[Máritor]]. Nestled on a plateau and adorned with intricate stone carvings, Máritor wasn't just a city; it was a confederation of various tribes that had united under a singular banner to form the [[Máritoric Republic]]. The republic was governed by a council of elders representing each tribe, making decisions through consensus and debate. This political structure was a testament to their sophisticated understanding of governance and diplomacy. General Monatius requested an audience with the council of elders to put forth the intentions of the Imperium and the Cohort. The exchange was facilitated by the expedition's linguists, who were able to quickly learn the Máritoric language. The Máritori were proud of their heritage and eager to share it with the Cohort. They were also shown the [[Library of Echoes]], a vast repository of scrolls and texts preserving knowledge from various tribes. The library's design was ingenious, with a unique ventilation system to protect the scrolls from the humid jungle climate. As the Deprinitas Expedition delved deeper into the province, they encountered tribes outside the Máritoric Republic, some friendly and some suspicious. On one occasion, a territorial dispute between a neighboring tribe and the republic threatened to escalate. Leveraging his diplomatic skills, Monatius successfully mediated a peace treaty, further cementing the CU's reputation. Upon their return in 1789, the Deprinitas Expedition was hailed for its achievements. Artefacts, scrolls, and botanical samples found their way into Caphirian museums and academies. The tales of the Máritoric Republic and their sophisticated culture became popular subjects of study.
