Nemetacum

Nemetacum is one of Brune's dukedom (territories) that is located to the south of the Royal Capital, Nice. It is one of the important territories (dukedom) in Madan no Ou to Vanadis series. The territory was being governed by a Duke belonging to House Thenardier, the last being Felix Aaron Thenardier.

Overview
Nemetacum is described as Brune's largest territory located in the southern part of Brune. Home to the once prestigious House Thenardier, Nemetacum is also known for havin Brune's largest and strongest army of 50,000 active troops.

Nemetacum also marks the borders of Brune to the west, with neighboring kingdom Sachstein, and to the south with sea.

Role in Melisande's Uprising and Sachstein's Invasion
Since the fall of House Thenardier in the aftermath of Brune Civil War, Regin dispatched one of her administrator to rule Nemetacum while ensuring the survival of the fallen House by having Melisande sent to a local shrine for refuge. However, not all Nemetacum (especially loyalist of House Thenardier) residents and ministers considered Regin's ascension as moot because they believed that their queen wasn't strong as Faron nor Thenardier, making them as Regin's primary antagonist.

Fall of Nemetacum
Melisande leads a coup to overthrow and kill Regin. It is foiled thanks to Tigre, the Moonlight Knights, and Elen’s help. It is discovered that Melisande had invited Sachstein to invade western Brune to assist her in overthrowing Regin. Melisande is killed and her supporters are sent to the dungeon, and that helped cripple any cooperation between Nemetacum and Sachstein’s army. Melisande’s death further weakened Nemetacum, thus leaving it vulnerable to an invasion by Muozinel’s army. The city fell to the invaders with such ease, and the population was taken as slaves. Several mayors who supported Melisande approached Kureys the commander of Muozinel’s army with an alliance to overthrow Regin. Kureys has them taken away in chains along with everyone else, showing that he despised those who would betray their kingdom’s Queen. The fall of Nemetacum was the beginning of Muozinel’s invasion of Brune, leading up to the final confrontation between Tigre and Kureys.
