History: Vaiven De Massi was born under Piero De Massi. His family had been ruling Maslona since before it was incorporated into En Lome. Since then the family had always been begrudging towards the royal line. That didn't effect their business, however. Under their rule Maslona served as a powerful port that merchants from all over stopped at. When Piero handed the Dukedom over to Vaiven, there were many reforms regarding taxes, policies regarding indentured servitude, and security.

The Duchies security was expanded from 900 soldiers to over 3,000 standing. Storage units containing war material were expanded and a small navy was formed. The amount of guards in the city doubled and the outer limit tripled. Small forts and outposts were created within the Duchy limits too. Within a few years Maslona became a beacon for mercenaries and any willing to sell of their combat expertise to the Massi.

Taxes were expanded as well. Although low, many taxes were created regarding tariffs, grain, sales, property, levy, roads, and security. It also affected those who traveled to the port. Since it accumulated from small amounts, it effected the citizens little, but had a large impact on the treasury. Illegal crimes such as smuggling or slavery were also permitted to carry on, so long as they paid the Massi a cut of their profits.

Vaiven continues to build up the treasury and security of his Duchy in hopes that one day he can declare Maslona an independent and sovereign nation.
