The 'Old Regime'
Carcassonne
Apparently the City was not always ruled by The Kuvava but instead by several other factions. From what you’ve gleaned so far, the city was created by a “marriage” between The Sonne Cultists and The Oy’uz. The City also used to be called Carcassonne and was renamed when The Kuvava took over.
You’ve also heard of The Queen in Yellow who allegedly lead a revolt of the Nobles in The Palatine. This revolt failed and resulted in the Rebel Nobles being evicted from their properties and banished, their estates now being turned into public land that is donated to the poor. You do not know of what happened to this so called Yellow Queen as of now.
