Independent State
Pralao
Pralao sits east of Norrath and south of the Western Veil Strata — a nation that has always seemed slightly displaced from its surroundings, as though it arrived from somewhere older and more ordered. Its architecture is neoclassical, its governance measured, its cultural output substantial. Old money, old culture, and a tradition of diplomacy conducted in carefully chosen words.
The OSRR — Office of Strata Survey and Resonance — is believed to operate out of or in close association with Pralao, which points to the nation's deep investment in scientific and academic infrastructure. Pralao does not merely tolerate knowledge institutions; it organises around them.
Pralao's proximity to the Western Veil Strata has made Strata research a national preoccupation for generations. The OSRR's survey interest in the mountain ridge between Pralao, Laence, and Calandria reflects this — an attempt to model psionic field movement in the upper troposphere using a region notable for its surprisingly low resonance readings despite supporting abundant life.
Current Political Status
Stable. Diplomatically active. The OSRR's research operations are ongoing and largely apolitical, though their findings carry increasing relevance in the current climate.
