=== Jungle Migration and the era of the Bone Regime ===
After a time in hiatus and recovery from the aftermath of the Generic War, On November 11, 2022 the return of Volterra was announced officially and the southern migration began. S4nta helped facilitate the Volterrans being granted land formerly belonging to Estalia, and a camp was soon set up in the location now home to the Volterran senate building. The Volterrans worked over the next few weeks carving out an open space in the jungle and setting up the first structures of what would become Volterra Prime, culminating in an ecological disaster. During this time, Seldomshock laid the foundation for Shockton, just a few hundred blocks from Prime. The Shockton Hotel was the first building he constructed. It was decided that Prime would be the official capital of the city, with large planned builds overseen by Mickale, while Shockton was more of a free form city that any citizen could add to or expand upon.

S4NTA
|Volterrans will remember Cicero for the passing of constitutional amendments and other government reform. Cicero's tenure oversaw a period of record high activity in the state. Cicero also oversaw a drastic shift in Volterra's foreign policy and the formation of the Ascendancy of Sovereign Nations. The ASN was composed of many of Volterra's historic allies including SPQR and Nara. A new addition was Icenia. Estalia and Pavia, Volterras allies in the Elysian Pact were not members of the ASN. Estalia and Pavia also left the EP during this time.
