Maristella is an overseas possession of Caphiria located in Catenias, south of the Kindreds Sea between Vallos and mainland Sarpedon. The archipelago consists of four main islands: Orvela, Granmirada, Caesapha, and Azzurina, along with several atolls.
Archaeological evidence suggests the initial inhabitants were the Mustrida people from the Glaistic civilization. By the 6th century BC, following the collapse of the Adonerii, the region saw the formation of independent settlements and the establishment of colonies and trade networks with eastern Vallos and Sarpedon. From the 2nd to the 8th century, Maristella was part of the Emeritan Republic, becoming one of the wealthiest regions due to its strategic location and natural resources. In the late 8th century, Maristella transitioned into a vassal state under the Caphiric First Imperium while maintaining a significant degree of autonomy. During this period, Maristella's cultural, economic, and political ties with its neighbor Lucrecia deepened, marking a golden age of mutual prosperity and collaboration. After the collapse of the Second Imperium in 1172, Maristella remained under Caphirian control, unlike Lucrecia, which experienced a temporary independence. With the formation of the Third Imperium in 1283, Maristella evolved into a formal colony, featuring private villas, military fortifications, and burgeoning cities. This period solidified Maristella’s strategic importance and its role as a key possession of Caphiria. In 1881, Imperator Arturpiulerix III claimed the island Caesapha as his personal possession which triggered the Maristellian War between the indigenous Emeritans and Caphiria. The war was quick and decisive, ending with Caphiria annexing the entire archipelago as an overseas possession in 1883.
