Nevia today is the largest nation on Nova, settling mostly in the lowlands north of the Acara desert. It's capital is nestled in the foothills of the Orbicht mounts.
Nevia is most noted for it's stone architecture. The people of Nevia have worked the old quarries north of the mountains for centuries. Nevia is named for it's capital, which itself was the former capital of Nab.

History

Following the collapse of The Children of Nherru, Nevia (then the remnants of Nab) came under the occupation of Kyrosos which used Nevian territory as a staging ground against Nherru in Nova. The occupation was beneficial for Nevia, in that it was protected from further assaults by Nherru, and supported by (intermittent) supplies from Kyrosos. When Nherru was finally destroyed, Kyrosos remained and began hoarding stone for eventual shipping back to their own territory. However, the few remaining Night Orc clans in Nova, desperate to either flee or liberate themselves from oppression, began attacking Kyrosian garrisons in and around Nevian territory. Unwilling to give up their supplies of stone to Cicazl to the south, Kyrosos found itself overreached in it's campaign in Nova and withdrew any further support of it's forces there who were left to hold on to Nevia as best they could and fend for themselves. Cicazl, occupied with other affairs, left them alone, while a sudden invasion of Northern Orcs took the remaining Night Orc clans of Nova by surprise and wiped them out. Adamant that they would have nothing to do with the rest of the war, and deprived support from Kyrosos, the Kyrosian troops occupying Nevia joined forces with the natives to build fortresses and walls using the stockpiled stone. As the Bloodstained Aeon raged on, Nevian stonemasons and architects gradually refined their techniques, making increasingly more efficient use of their abundance of stone. The Kyrosian occupants absorbed themselves into the culture of Nevia, training up successive armies that gradually became bold enough to push northward to the quarries beyond the mountains for more stone. While war consumed the rest of Nova, Nevia grew stronger and more secure. Their forces, while not vast, were capable of repelling the few assaults made against their formidable walls, and thus they were able to painstakingly wait out the end of the Bloodstained Aeon.

It was nearly 650 AS before Kyrosos returned to Nova, records of the Kyrosian campaign in Nova having been discarded in the turbulent Bloodstained Aeon, they were surprised to encounter a sturdy, budding nation. Trade agreements between the two nations were drawn, largely involving the shipping of stone to Kyrosos in exchange for wood. Nevia's ties to Kyrosos gave them enough leverage to retain their free standing during Kyrosos's expansionist period late in the Age Of Wounds.

Nevia still has ties to Kyrosos, dating back to the expansionist period, yet due to their longstanding independance was able to forge alliances with various former Kyrosian nations who gained their independance with little fondness for their former governers.
The biggest threat to Nevia's livelyhood is Ungaromin to the north. With little major action taken against them since the previous age, the Southern Orcs have spread out across northern Nova and have made stone mining very, very risky business. In addition, they have begun setting up warrens in the Orbicht mountains and begun making raids as south as the capital of Nevia and beyond. Currently there is a huge public push for war, and a campaign to expunge the Orcs from the mountains and reclaim the quarries is in the final stages of it's planning.

Economy

---

Nevia has always been a steady supplier of stone, and deals largely in exporting it around the world. Initially Nevia relied on trading ships from Kyrosos for distribution, but as more lumber came in they began work on fleets of their own. Now their own, small, sturdy trading vessels ply the waters to every continent on Xothu.
Nevia also produces glass ingots of fairly unremarkable, though not poor, quality.
