Nosatea

Nosatea was a Lygic state in Dytica, western Vasarea, from the 5th to 15th centuries.

Post-Pastic era
The Dytican islands fell from Mecessian control to Pracian calcatores and other Pastic varshtanitans in the Red Sail Wars by 230 CE, and given their strategic importance the Dytican Legation was among those Vasarean Legations most closely supervised by Tarsia. During the Legate wars of the 5th century, the rule of the pro-Tarsian legates and their isostates collapsed from war weariness and devastation. After gaining and losing power several times, the resourceful general Geneleos enthroned the popular prophetess Theucleia in 480, establishing the Theucleian dynasty and taking the name of the new state from an alternative name for the island of Mystecia.

In the 6th century the queendom used its navy and relative stability to recreate the Tarsian White Order by putting commerce and academies under its protection and patronage. Relative to the Anamnestic charitarchs in south-central Vasarea, Nosatea was a religiously diverse and ambiguous land, with the state Theucleian cult being mysterious and localized to Dytica, various guilds and estates practicing fragmentary traditions based on vaguely Artic premises, and tolerance for all beliefs being demonstrated in its academies. The Anamnestic Phrenophile movement in the 7th century thus sought Nosatean support for its teachings against charitarch practices, and the Phrenophiles' Arassian Restoration was a recipient of Nosatean patronage in the Arassian Restoration of 629.

Anamnestic era
Although the Theucleian court remained formally unaffiliated, the Restoration swept Nosatea into the center of every single major Anamnestic struggle and schism for centuries: the Harmonic Wars from 650 to 685 against Madrinan charitarchs of the Typsesian League, to allow the Arassian Symphony presence in their domains; contests with the Gaberene Empire for patronage of Symphonic institutions from the latter's founding in 753; and the 801 rebellion by dissatisfied Symphonists, the Calarchians, followed in 809 by the secession of the entire Arassos Symphony in the Pydiad. In the 833 Truce of Acron Nosatea helped restore a degree of religious and regional harmony and recognized the Artaphilian reform, while under Callinice I the Theucleians formally and fully converted to Anamnestism. However, it was not spared popular religious turmoil in the War of Types; later in the 10th century, it also confronted the Madrinan Vadish princes of the Semarglovid Empire who rallied behind the Sunimirian reform to once again defy Nosatean interests on the continent and Anamnestic dogma. The Antiphonic Wars were then only brought to an end with the 982 Concord of Stegamenes.

These centuries also saw overseas exploration and expansion, and for a period of time Nosatea was uncontested in its domination of the western Autean Ocean, trading with west Roscia, colonizing Apesnia, and establishing less significant outposts on the Eremian peninsula of Dalosacia. Around the Confluent Seas it contended with Pytarus and many Kaskian cities, competing with Pytarene interests in Roscian Mania as late as the 11th century. But the resurgence of Tarsia under the Cavapatids in the 10th century wrought disaster on the Nosatean maritime empire, as the Jangearean Missions set out to pacify and subjugate Vasarea. Most Nosatean resources were absorbed towards defending Anamnestism and the Stegamenian Order in the Jangearean wars from the 11th century onwards. By the 12th century Nosatea was in the shadow of the Jangearean system, although it saved its colonies and continued to enjoy a degree of independent power. In the 13th-century crisis it staved off the Instructionist Sede's Great Upclearing, and appeared to have revitalized the Stegamenian system for the 14th century.

Reign of Gears
The Macrine Wars for Eremia and the Drazhy revolts in Apesnia in the 14th century drained Nosatean resources and caused public uproar, sparking further domestic unrest involving the Pegadians and eventually failure to prevent the breakup of the Samorogovid Empire in the 1350s. Apesnia gained independence in 1385 as Triodontia and the Macrine colonies broke free soon after, with Sebrian and Aluarian support. With the century of disaster ending in Nosatea's reduction to a minor power, it became a passive ally of Aluaria in the Great Autean War and later the Titulature War, being rolled uneventfully into the Celitine system for the rest of the 15th century.
