=== Leidensen Rule ===
The decline of the Celanora saw the Empire lose its grasp over its western territories. In the early 13th century, the Kingdom of Cryria under King Segol joined the war against the embattled Empire and reclaimed Breze as part of the Duchy of Talvere. The town was renamed to Segolstad in honor of the King, and became one of the most important Cryrian holdings on the Novaran Mainland for the access it provided to both the Labarge Sea and the rest of the Asciec Peninsula. Segolstad also became a focal point of the Cryrian Church's missionary efforts, and was one of the first parts of Talvere to fully come under the Church's central authority.
Much like the rest of the Duchy of Talvere, Segolstad declared its allegiance for Queen Charlotte during the [https://tep.wiki/wiki/Cryria#The_Sorrows Sorrows] and sent ships and soldiers to the disastrous Battle of the Lindesgaard Straits. Segolstad itself remained largely unmarred by the war however, and was protected by distance unlike the rest of Talvere which suffered greatly from Helen of Tarva's marauding fleets. The Impalement of Karlin and subsequent death of Queen Charlotte did not dampen the fires of rebellion in Segolstad. While many of the Queen's forces surrendered, those fearing heavy punishment or retribution fled south across the sea. These included many of the Queen's notable advisors and generals, including Lucas Reitz among others. Surviving elements of the Talveri fleet also escaped south. These remaining diehards renamed Segolstad to Charlottesborg in honor of their fallen queen, and soon afterwards aligned with the Cadrigranic League in the ongoing War of the Seven Emperors in exchange for protection against Leidenstad's inevitable retribution.
