In late 1615, internal forces around the Great Schism threatened the security of Caphiria, causing the [[Senate (Caphiria)|Senate]] to move one of the high courts from Venceia to Serdica (now part of [[New Venceia]]). Some of Cartadania's first financial institutions, such as its local stock exchanges, and its National Bank, were created here, and thanks to the region's receptiveness to immigrants from other parts of the world, the Caphirian monopoly on Odridian trade effectively ended, opening Odros to other nations, especially those of Levantia. This further catalyzed the eventual end of a single nation in Northern Sarpedon. Ironically, the same Ecclesiastical papers that were being published condemning the Catholic Church over a number of issues concerning Caphiria in the 16th century are the same reason Cartadania has a religious history but the complete separation of Church and State. The enumeration of the imperator as higher than the people of the imperium was a sentiment that Odros did not share with Venceia, but it did value the criticisms of the Catholic church, a set of beliefs it did share.

With the end of the Latin Wars in the early 17th century, the high court in Serdica was vacated after the Imperator ordered their return to Caphiria, deeming it unfit for them to continuously reside in Alexandria as they held positions granted only to those residing in Venceia. Groups of Odridians, impatient for practical and real changes, still demanded independence and a republic, as demonstrated by the 1603 Milanese Revolt. In 1617, as a demand of revolutionaries who had taken the city of Caleria, the last of the judges were unable to hold out any longer, and departed for Venceia. There they swore an oath to the new constitution, effectively leaving Odros to the control of the locals.

In 1617, as a demand of revolutionaries who had taken the city of Saleria, the last of the judges were unable to hold out any longer, and departed for Venceia. There they swore an oath to the new constitution, effectively leaving Lusia to the control of the locals.


In 1621, Alexandria, Santiago, Verona, and then-both Urlazian provinces of Milan and Tarvisium seceded from Caphiria. This time, although Imperator Magnus I attempted to bring the provinces back into the imperium, he was torn between the aftermath of the Great Schism and the changing nature of life in Venceia. Inevitably, he withdrew the military from those provinces, which generated a de facto new nation, one without name or identity.
