History

146AD - In 146AD King Eades divides the kingdom of Greater Holdinia between Lord Knights that remained loyal to him during the war. Sir Fredderick Mont-Canisi is made Lord Knight of Mont-Canisi.

151 - Lord Knight Fredderick Mont-Canisi divides his province into 27 counties, which he names after and gives power to his son's, daughter's, brother's, nephew's and other family members. At the time the Mont-Canisi Province was very little populated and each county became virtually very large private estates for the Mont-Canisi family members.

1641 - Solina made capital of Mont-Canisi Province.

Geography

Mont-Canisi is a land-locked province in central St Samuel. The province borders Lyonais Province, Brunswick Province, Malberg Province, Ector-De-Maris Province, St Amand Province and De Molay Province.


Physical geography & Climate

Most of Mont-Canisi is covered by mountains.

The province is crossed by the Isldère river, which has its source in the Mont Idlemand pass. Its two main lakes are Lake Bouliere (the largest and deepest lake entirely in St Samuel) and Lake Amberberdette, one of the least polluted in St Samuel due to a 1960's law forbidding any use of motorboats on the lake.

The Mont-Casini climate is generally temperate, but can vary greatly between the localities, from glacial conditions on the mountain tops to the often pleasant Mediterranean climate in the east. Summer tends to be warm and humid at times with periodic rain so it is ideal for pastures and grazing. The winters in the mountains alternate with sun and snow, while the lower lands tend to be more cloudy and foggy in winter. The driest conditions persist in the eastern valleys which valuable saffron is harvested and many grapes are grown, Freddericksburg also tends to be drier in climate and slightly colder, yet with plentiful snow in winter. The wettest conditions persist in the mountainous counties and in the west which has much sun yet heavy bursts of rain from time to time. The north tends to be colder than the west of the province, yet anywhere up high in the mountains can experience a cold spell at any time of the year. Precipitation tends to be spread moderately throughout the year, with minor variations across the seasons depending on locale. Autumn frequently tends to be the driest season, yet the weather patterns in Mont-Canisi can be highly variable from year to year, and very difficult to predict.
