Centuries of trade and migration had reduced the former homeland of the [[Adonerum]] to a relatively culturally divergent area embracing its historic [[Latinic people|Latinic]] roots with a more [[Odoneru Ocean|Odoneru]]-centric outlook and traditions. Though a culturally divergent part of Caphiria, remained firmly in Venceia's hold until the middle of the 18th century, when it was invaded by [[Urcea]] as part of its intervention during the [[Veltorine War of Independence]]. Larianum was sacked by Caphirian forces in 1781 after being taken by the Urceans in 1780 and the province was largely pacified, but continued advanced of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] in 1782 overcame Caphirian defenders in Talionum. As trade and aid filtered through Talionum's ports to the rebelling forces in [[Veltorina]], control of the island ultimately proved essential to aiding the Veltorines secure their independence. Talionum was ceded to Urcea as compensation for their intervention. Controversially, it was not joined to the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], but rather kept as a separate Kingdom in personal union with the Urcean Crown, a move which alienated the [[Collegial Electorate]]. Acquisition of the renamed-Talionia was a key part of Urcea's strategy to secure overall control of the [[Sea of Canete]], and the so-called Canetian Cessions started the phenomenon of [[Levantine Creep]] among Caphirian intellectuals. | Centuries of trade and migration had reduced the former homeland of the [[Adonerum]] to a relatively culturally divergent area embracing its historic [[Latinic people|Latinic]] roots with a more [[Odoneru Ocean|Odoneru]]-centric outlook and traditions.

Talionia was governed and assumed to be, at its inception, another normal [[Government_of_Urcea#Crownland|crownland]] of [[Urcea]], similar to the [[Kingdom of Crotona]]. This status implied normal governance of the country by the apparatus of the [[Government of Urcea]] with the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] nominally at its head as its King. However, several cultural and administrative changes implemented during the reign of [[Aedanicus VIII]] separated Talionia from the other crownlands. This included the actual creation of a physical crown of Talionia in [[1852]]. Acts of the [[Concilium Daoni]] would confirm the status of Talionia as a separate entity from the rest of the Kingdom as part of an overall effort to prevent popular resistance to Urcean rule. | |||
Talionia initially operated with some autonomous function. Local Veltorine nobility and several military commands of the Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea comprised the government of the Kingdom, though communal and county-based governance was viewed as the norm. As the 19th century continued, reforms to the Urcean government brought its periphery vassals into a tighter orbit of Urceopolis. In order to placate local concerns with the tightening grip, Aedanicus VIII issued a Constitution for Talionia in 1870, which remains in force. During the Regency, Talionia did not recognize the Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]] and intended to remain neutral. Several local groups attempted to agitate for independence from Urcea, but with the beginning of the [[Red Interregnum]], the Government declared its loyalty to the Legitimist faction. During the conflict and in part due to their perceived disloyalty, FitzRex promised to cede Talionia to [[Caphiria]] in exchange for its support during the Interregnum, bringing [[Urcea]] into the [[First Great War]]. Consequently, local groups decided remaining with [[House de Weluta]] was the better option to remain separate from Caphiria. The unfulfilled promise of a cession of Talionia to Caphiria was a major {{wp|casus belli}} for the later [[Second Great War]]. | Talionia initially operated with some autonomous function.
