History

Due to islands being located near what was believed to be edge of Natia they were named Islands On the Edge. It took 4 years for the first city, Alpha City, to be established. Mobius was point of interest because of rich food resources such as raspberries, grapes and honey.

In early 1330's, due to tax increases, more and more pirates started appearing and ships had hard time sailing thorough Mobian waters. In 1332 Yaponesians gave up on further colonization of Mobius and islands gained independence. Early era of autonomy was difficult because there was no well organized government and laws. Country was lead by council of 6 members who managed to stabilize Mobius and allow it to develop. Later those six members would go on to establish six great houses of Mobius, four of which remain today. Ever since 10 Regions of Mobius has been developing further and further into well-standing country.
