Belliferi

Belliferi is a downed airship fortress that floats on the surface of the Great Dark Sea. It was settled during the Age of Piracy and became a micro-nation in the following years. The territory it controls is named Victoria.

History
Belliferians are known, perhaps unfortunately, for their historically xenophobic practices, given that the airship's magical cannons would often be used to fire at passing ships. These 'policies' have mellowed over the decades, and Belliferi enjoys a tentative peace with the Coalition. That said, very few people native to Belliferi have ever left it.

How and when the fortress fell from the sky is unknown. Though it has been claimed that Belliferi was used during the time of the old empire, its design and constituent materials are not consistent with technology of that era, meaning that it was likely built elsewhere or earlier in time.

Marshal Law
The leaders of Belliferi - called Marshals - are considered officers and representatives of 'the ship'. They take this to somewhat of an extreme, variously referring to the ship as 'Lady', 'the Grey Lady' and 'Lady Victory'. These Marshals command the Grey Company: the ship's law enforcement, all armed with magical weapons scavenged from further inside. The highest of the Marshals, known as the Mariscalcus, consistently has magical powers, despite the position switching between many generations of people.
