=== The Violet Scourge Outbreak of 31 ===
In the year 31, 10 years after the founding of Mantle, it became Ground Zero for the Violet Scourge epidemic, as a startling new disease threatened to destroy the entire city, and an eternal night fell over it. A multinational foreign intervention was the only thing that managed to save the battered city, which incurred over 1.1 Million Mantlean Marks in damage and the lives of 247 citizens being lost.
=== The End Wars ===
Following the Invasion and Violet Scourge Epidemic in the year 31, Mantle sensed that the battle was not yet over, and began a historically massive military build-up. The Crown issued the War Defense Declaration, ordering all factories to begin producing material for the coming war. Martial Law was declared, as Mantle began issuing warnings to its allies on the current situation. It was during this time that the Mantlean Office of State Security, and the Secretary of Defense Colonel Rein Cor Blackwell, sent a missive to the nearby city of Eisenbury about an imminent invasion.
== Economy and Government ==
Mantle's Economy is mostly capitalist, with the only checks instituted on the Government being labor laws to protect workers. The Mantlean Government believes that capitalism encourages innovation, and therefore has a hands-off, Lazes-faire approach to the economy. ▼
▲Mantle's Economy is mostly capitalist, with the only checks instituted on the Government being labor laws to protect workers. The Mantlean Government believes that capitalism encourages innovation, and therefore has a hands-off, Lazes-faire approach to the economy. The Economy itself is one of Alathra's few Industrial based economies, with Magitech-based machinery in factories making things like Potions and Medicine in large quantities quickly. Mantle also has a strong Tourism industry, with many people from all over Alathra travelling there to enjoy the hot springs, take in the beautiful sights of winter, and enjoy the world-class Mantlean brewed Vodka.
Mantle is renowned across Alathra for their dedication to a completely Neutral foreign policy, and their lack of a standing army, maintaining only a Self-Defense guard force known as the Blue Rose Order, who also acts as the cities police.
▲The Government itself is headed by the Grand Princess, who appoints "Viscounts" to run the various districts of the city. Viscounts can further appoint up to two Barons to assist in the administration of their district. Both titles are considered hereditary, however, they can be revoked at any time by any person above them in the Mantlean court.
