History of the Grand Duchy

The Grand Duchy of Fissoa was born when declaring independece from Madina. At the time the regions part of the Grand Duchy were Fissoa, Fissoa Fields, Libba, Munawai and Drowenton. Mangai was readly added to the lands of the Grand Duke and then a monster army stoped the expansion. Once cleared of the monsters, the region of Palm Sea was the next target of the army. With this annexion the Grand Duchy reached the lands claimed by the realm of Pian en Luries. Soon after, while the army was moving to Moon Bay, Pian en Luries declared war but no battles was fought. Peace talks concluded and secured a treaty between the two realms. Meanwhile the region of Kamade has been claimed and secured while the people of Mellifera decided to join the Grand Duchy. Mellifera has returned to independence and peace was restored between the two realms.

Game opportunities (OOC info)

With the realm expanding there are a lot of opportunities ahead. Note to newcomers: Please realise that when you arrive at the docks you aren't able to send a public speach to everyone since you hardly know anybody. It might be a bit more work to message lords individually introducing yourself and arranging for an audience, but since you won't have a lord and income for a while, use the oppertinity for some nice roleplays. Also remember to use the needed etiquette when adressing someone according to their status.

Fissoan Privateers

First sponsored by Sir Samuel Quasath, they became the fighting force of the Grand Duchy of Fissoa. Mainly, their first duty is to constantly eliminate the Monster Scourge from Fissoa. Aside from a brief, cold war with Pian en Luries, the army has yet to conduct a full scale military campaign.

Within the army, a legend of a renowned battle group arose during a routine cleansing of monsters. This tale is known as the Legend of the Iron Toughs.

Culture

The Grand Duchy of Fissoa, once a part of Madina declared independence from the Republic of Madina after experiencing increased cultural division through its proud army, the Fissoan Privateers.

The people of Fissoa are diverse; most inhabitants are simple peasants and live on the country side while the richer folk and traders live in the city of Fissoa or the outskirts known as Fissoa fields. A townsland in the north called Drowenton has a sort of independence within the Duchy. The current Countess is a privateer in service of the Grand Duke and Doge of the previous realm.

While peasants do enjoy some simple freedom within the duchy, any instance of rebellion is crushed without remorse: Exile into the desert is common punishment for those that rebel and considered even worse than a quick execution due to the rampaging monsters.

All boys are conscripted into the army school at the age of 6 and are taught basic writing and reading, history, law, wrestling, running, and other useful knowledge and skills. Normally they can visit their homes once every 3 months for a few days but only the richest can afford these trips for their sons. At the age of 16 boys are considered a man and are allowed to return for their families. The wise scholars and capable fighters and usually opt to stay on in the service.

Training includes being sent off into the dense forest region of Manuwai, where they are tutored in the use of weapons such as the spear, sword and shield. If they survive training and pass their final tests they will serve with the small regular forces of the Grand Duchy. The brighter pupils are trained to aid the government in their daily tasks. They are the bureaucrats, doctors, and inventors within the duchy.
