Glacei is a canton in northeastern Lac Glacei. Its capital is the city of Monte Glacei. Glacei is the heartland of Lac Glacei and encompasses the Grand Duchy's most populous cities; Monte Glacei and Alpreaux. It is the most mountainous region of the grand duchy and contains the Glacei Mountains and the country's tallest peak, the Isenhorn. Snowmelt from these mountains feeds the fresh waters of Lake Glacei. Glacei is also the most populated canton within the Grand Duchy, although most of the population is centered in the cities of Alpreaux and Monte Glacei.
History
The Canton of Glacei began as the original heartland of Lac Glacei. The region was chosen for settlement because of its fertile valleys and the safety of the surrounding Glacei Mountains. For many years Alpreaux served as the summer palace of Emperor Jacobus (the winter palace being located in Ergo Sum). In its early days Alpreaux was simply called Lac Glacei, sharing the name with the region and the lake. By 208 ASC Lac Glacei was at the height of its power within the United Imperium and extended control over much of northeastern Apollonia. At the time much of Apollonia was still devoid of people, with roving bands of indigenous tribes or otherwise empty forests whose only inhabitants were the wild animals. The fertile valley soils and the security offered by the surrounding mountains made Glacei an ideal destination for the first pioneers. These migrants consisted primarily of people fleeing the more densely populated cities such as Ergo Sum, or crowded nations such as Cyberia and Shireroth.
