: "Tandem is the cornerstone of the Free Citys of the

: This is from the journal in Myth 2. That said I will
: venture this. If the Free Citys were not independent
: before the Great War than they became so after
: Covenent fell and were independent for so long that
: they retained the tital even after rebuilding had
: started. I do not personaly think this but it is a
: viable explanation.
: My own thought is that Madrical and everything north of
: it was independent of the Provence before the war but
: became part of the larger state after the wars.
: Just a thought;)
But according to GURPS, Madrigal has traditionally been the Province Capital. And Tandem is given as one of its cities, with no hint of recent independence.
I follow the "They were free a really long time ago, hence the name" theory. :-)
