Prospero

Prospero is one of the three main city-states in the East Anyotkim province of Godai. It is home to the Order of the Lotus, Oleander University, and the Prosperoan Adventurer's Guild. It is currently governed by patrician Dirae Kawatarō Poulderborn of Amusa, who instituted a democratically elected government following the removal of Doge Servaas after the War of Enenra.

History
It is not known when Prospero was founded. No official records, written history, or monuments predate the founding of Prospero, or give a clue as to the date of its founding.

It is believed by some that the city-state was founded by refugees from Twynon fleeing the First War of Enenra, but this may never be proven. Critics of this theory disbelieve the notion that purported refugees could survive the trek across the Deepwoods, and posit that, instead, Prospero was likely founded by settlers who landed in East Anyotkim from lands to the east. Historians and scholars still argue these and other theories to this day.

Prospero is the oldest city-state in East Anyotkim. The other city-states (Mint, Fargon, and Bogdon) were each founded sometime after the settling of Prospero, often by Prosperoan settlers seeking to expand their fortunes.
