[edit] Plague
Two hundred years ago, the Meranae and its neighbors were hit by a sudden and crippling plague which came from Senpet lands. Most of the affected nations were wiped out completly, but Merenae still stands 200 years later, a nation of mixed refugees and the one stable surviving nation.
[edit] Technology
Merenae is also known for its polvora powder, called Gaijin pepper within Rokugan. They have advanced nautical skill that surpass even those of the Mantis Clan, and their ships and sailors carry powder weapons such as cannons and pistols.
[edit] Culture
Ruled by a king, Merenae is thought to have been an enemy of the now fallen Thrane Empire. Some of those involved in the Battle of White Stag hailed from Merenae. Some bloodlines in Merenae have magic in them.
The Cornejo family, longtime assistants of the Mantis Clan, hails originally from Merenae.
[edit] Language
When speaking Rokugani, natives of Merenae have a fairly thick accent. The only known phrase from Merenae is "Blood of Kharsis", used as some sort of expletive.
