Umberto Region
The Umberto Region is one of the four regions of the Vridium Empire. Ruled by Duke Bobuscous Dankerston Umberto V, the Umberto Region is one of obvious class disparities. The family are all obese food obsessed gluttons who want nothing more than to feed their sick obsession of anything valuable to them. The region itself is the smallest of all the houses, the villages and towns under their jurisdiction are incredibly poor due to the immense taxes put on them by the Umberto house. They use glamour magic to make themselves more appealing to others and coerce their citizens to pay these crazy taxes.
The Umberto region is known for raising horses. Due to the importance of horses and transportation they are a vital lifeline of the Empire that has to be cultivated. The healthiest and strongest lasting horses always seem to come from this region, some speculate it to be the natural resources in the area, but of course the Umberto family have convinced everyone they are the only ones capable to raise horses perfectly.
Structure
The Umberto house barely rules themselves and typically outsources other nobles in the area to do the work for them so they can continue to enjoy galas and balls they put on to celebrate themselves.
Culture
Aside from the wealthy Umberto house the rest of the region are very poor and squalid. A sad look into classism, if you are not a noble you might as well be worth less than the dirt you walk on. If you don't give your entire life to making the nobles of this region more rich and comfortable you are stepping out of line. Truly a nightmare place to be born into as a commoner.
Public Agenda
The Umberto's always lie their way to the King and capital saying their agenda is to make a comfortable life for nobles, merchants and travelers. When in reality they only care about themselves.
