Genoa Historical Society Published: 998 AS Written by Onero Denizen The aptly named last war was the final conflict to ensure that Genoa would never again be threatened by an outside force. By decree of Kastel Mistle, forces of elite knights were sent out to the far reaches of Genoa Prime (As it was called before The Last War) to cripple and destroy any forces they saw as a threat. Bloodthirsty by nature, however, the knights all but wiped out any colonies not barring the Genoan flag. Many citizens with an interest in history and other cultures were greatly offended by this act, but would not speak out openly, for they would surely be executed. The worldwide purge was ended in 996, when The Most Holy Kastel Zypher was inducted as Genoas new Kastel. By this time, however, it was too late. The small handful that remained either moved to Genoa to start a new life, or died out in solitude, too afraid to openly start a new settlement. In an attempt to salvage the dire state that Genoa had been put in, Kastel Zypher immediately set pilgrims out to key settlements in order to further use their resources. Kastel Zypher insisted that every settlement have it's own name and flag, but should always fly it's flag lower than the Genoan flag, and remain loyal to Genoa.
