[@shylarah]I’d say Lanostre is more of a vassal state than a conquered territory. Since the Goddess willingly surrendered, the hostilities ceased and Lanostrans are considered full citizens of the empire. So, it’s been allowed to retain its culture and customs. There is peace between the two nations but there are certainly some Lanostrans who aim to restore their kingdom to power, Astraea’s parents being prime examples.

The capital city is still how it was before the war, except there is a garrison of Varyan soldiers stationed there. Currently, they’re the only ones left in the city, since most of the Lanostran soldiers were shipped off to fight in El.
