Transionia: Difference between revisions

The southern portion of modern Transionia was traditionally part of the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]] and comprised approximately the southern two-thirds of modern [[Burgundiemarch]]. Unlike the northern portions of the region, southern Transionia was lightly populated much like the [[Urcean frontier]] and was much of the region was unsuitable for human habitation due to the {{wp|semiarid}} and {{wp|arid}} climates. The region was annexed into [[Urcea]] following the [[Great Confessional War]] but was separated from the rest of the country by the [[Hortus Mountains]] and [[Ionian Mountains]]. The region was governed by an unusual form of governance within Urcea's history; it was divided into four Rector-Captaincies, with the Rector-Captain having an unusually high degree of autonomy. The eastern Rector-Captains also had authority to issue and carry out sentences beyond the usual scope of Urcean law. The region remained relatively peaceful during the [[Caroline Wars]], as much of it had no strategic value beyond access to the [[Magnag]]. This route of attack was not utilized by any Levantine forces until the area was reorganized as [[Burgundiemarch]] and was subject to the [[Overland Campaign]]. In 1892, Southern Transionia was incorporated as the province of [[Burgundiemarch]] as a consequence of the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]]. Some former Deric territory was added to what was the traditional territorial boundaries of the Rector-Captaincies to form the new province.
