Overview
The Kingdom of Versonnex is an   located to the the south of Seratof. Its original descendants were ethnically southern heltics who left their homelands in what is now southern Modrovia after being pushed out by their northern brethren, then Island-hopping across the gulf of "Whatever" they came across a sparsely populated region which would form the basis for modern Versonnex.

Towards the end of the Modrovian Civil war, a minor royal house led over 3000 soldiers and around 100,000 refugees on a mass exodus towards the newly formed kingdom of Seratof in hope of refuge but was barred from entry and his people expelled south on to what is now Versonnex.

There they found that most of the land was controlled by many small fiefdoms and kingdoms. Uniting with some of the mountainous people in the north, the invaders were able to crush the minor fiefdoms and other tribes that did not swear fealty to the new Modrovian King. For ease of cultural assimilation, the minor fiefdoms were permitted to retain much of their culture and identity, with the refugees adopting some of these traditions themselves. The codified traditions are now seen as the basis of the modern Family system today. The Modrovian refugees mainly settled in the north and coastal regions, intermarrying with the native southern Heltics.

Today Versonnex is a prosperous eastern Artemian nation, with a developed economy focused on agriculture (Cattle farming, and citrus harvest), mining for metals such as gold, copper, zinc, manganese and tin. and the refining and manufacturing of components using them. Versonnex mountains also contain a wide variety of gemstones ( amethyst, aquamarine, topaz, garnet, sapphires and rubies) which also support the economy of the nation.
