Preddi

Preddi is one of the twenty-one clans and provinces on the island of Caedellium.

Background
The Preddi were located at the southern end of the island and its capital city Preddi City, served as the main port for the entire realm. When the Narthani first arrived with trading ships the Hetman and leading Preddi families accepted enormous bribes to allow the Narthani to build a compound near the city. The Narthani provided the trade goods at unreasonably low prices and gave the Preddi complete control over supplying these goods to the rest of Caedellium. The Preddi became enormously rich and it was the Hetman's ambition of using his wealth to expand the Preddi Province at the expense of their two neighbors, the Selfcell and Eywell clans. When the inter-clan fighting became more severe, and the Preddi overreached and were simultaneous attacked by both Selfcell and Eywell. The Preddi then turned to their Narthani allies who in turn were allowed to increase the size of the base and bring in troop. Over the years as the fighting between the three clan continued, the Narthani presence in Preddi increased. and by then it was too late and a fleet of Narthani warships invaded the port and conquered the Preddi. The clan summarily ceased to exist as many of its high ranking clan members were enslaved and shipped back to the empire while a few were kept as servants and menials for the Narthani troops.
