Pinarea (City)

Pinarea is the capital and largest city of the Theddite kingdom of Pinarea. The city lies on the southern coast of the Great Gulf, and is traditionally the foremost city of the Suthebas region.

History
The city of Pinarea was founded in 14553 by the Theddite Empire. At that time the city was located in the Gulf Coast province, but later the southern coasts of the Gulf would be turned into the province of Suthebas in 15202. Pinarea was designated capital of the province, with the nearby city of Varding constituting its primary port. Pinarea enjoyed centuries of prosperity and growth, becoming one of the largest Theddite cities outside of the Thedda region itself. Pinarea fell under the rule of Lastilas Toranas in 16022 after the collapse of the Theddite Empire, but increasing separatism and poor administration by Lobanc led to Pinarea and the surrounding cities breaking free as soon as the Kingdom of Theddia invaded Lobanc in 16023. The Cuplanat dynasty, descended from the first Theddite Emperor Aderitas I as well as the great general Lenitac Trimenaso, had taken residence in the city for several centuries. Upon its independence, Plie Cuplanat was given the title of King of Pinarea due to his royal association and popularity among the local aristocracy. The Pinarean kingdom grew to dominate the Suthebas region, absorbing the other Theddite cities of the region. In 16258, Pinarea became a tributary of the Second Theddite Empire in exchange for protection against Carboqi bandits.
