History
After the fall of the Segres Realm, three Merchantile clans came together to form an economic and political union known as the Motaerein, the Union functioned in a ruling council of the three clans' leaders. The Union would protect merchant ventures on the mainland and sea. The capital city of Motae (Motu) was a major strategic and economic powerhouse and helped keep the Union together economically. They developed this first major city of the region, using a sophisticated architecture that far exceeded the knowledge and capabilities of the time most of modern Motu's base infrastructure is original Motae design, such as the great crypts, the sewer system, bridges, and great stone roads which were originally marble. After the 3 Motae clans attracted the fleeing refugees from all around the City, they started an autocratic style rule over the motaerein land and for a few years, the influence of the city-state grew, as products such as pottery, high-quality blacksmithing, and metals found deep in the Minderal rich deserts and exotic imported spices, as their wealth grew and grew, so did their power, as The Port of the Motaerein grew, buying and annexing more land and at their peak, they successfully protected an important trade route through the frostbitten sea and won the Motae-Merenian war, claiming a large enclave and massive war reparations from the Merein people.

The 3 Merchant Clans
The merchant clans who ruled the state for so long consisted of the Motuliyan clan, a rich powerful clan of warriors. The Saa"Fyire clan, Originally Desert Roamers, is an extremely intelligent clan, thought to be responsible for the high technological advancement and have high skill in glass making. And lastly the Maretenavis Clan, a skilled clan of seafarers with unknown origins. They each ruled the Motaerein Union with an iron fist, with a few disputes and power struggles throughout the time of Motaerein.
