History
During the Age of Constant War, the Scapolite Empire continued to expand. After conquering the Citrine Kingdom by guile, the Emperor of Scapolite turned his gaze to the strange land of Onyx. A land invasion was out of the question. The terrain between Scapolite and Onyx was either steep with mountains or treacherous with bogs and moors. A navy was formed and sailed out of both the Scapolite homeland and the Citrine Wastes. The naval pincer strategy took the Onyxish forces by surprise and, in short order, the capital city of Acertijo was conquered.
During the invasion, several wealthy families realized that they could not hope to prevail against Scapolite's overwhelming forces. Instead, they abandoned the capital and fled to the north and east. Following vague maps and journals from old explorers, they came to an ancient monument - the remains of a giant bridge that seemed to extend to nowhere. The area around the bridge was surrounded by inhospitable terrain to prevent the passing of armies and the seas along the border were filled with dangerous monsters and devious shoals. It was the perfect place to build a new city for a new Onyx, free from Scapolite control.
When the Scapolite Empire crumbled, Acertijo was in no condition to rebuild the Onyx Cryptocracy. The Seven, the secret rulers of Onyx, proclaimed that Vesicule would become the new capital. It remains so to this day.
