Home	-Introduction- The Republic of Oritolon is one of the oldest realms in The Colonies and has a proud, if tragic, history steeped in myth and legend. As much a family as a nation the nobles and people of Oritolon are tolerant, cooperative and dedicated to each other and their realm. Oritolon welcomes the immigration of any nobles who share these valuable qualities. While peaceful by nature the people if Oritolon have honed their skills in warfare defending themselves from the regular incursions of undead hordes into their territory and their long-running war against the despised ideologies of the theocratic states Alowca and their former ally Alebad. These are interesting times in Oritolon; the ongoing war against the church-states and a reorganisation of the council are galvanising the nobles of Oritolon into even greater discussion, cooperation and activity. -Politics- Oritolon is a republic ruled by an elected Prime Minister and council. The laws of Oritolon encourage both individual freedoms and national unity. Open discussion, debate and rule-by-consensus are well established traits of government in Oritolon. Oritolon prides itself on it's egalitarian philosophy of equality and tolerance. Nobles of Oritolon are judged on their words and deeds rather than any accident of birth or circumstance. The Oritolon military, while small, is well organised and dedicated. It tends to be deployed in defense of it's people rather than in the pursuit of aggressive expansionism. While Oritolon enjoys peaceful relations with most of the other realms on The Colonies for a long time we were in a constant struggle against the theocratic state of Alowca due to irreconcilable ideological differences. This also often brought us into conflict with their sometimes ally Alebad. As a pre-emptive move against a rumoured federation between Alowca and Alebad Oritolon formed its own federation with their northern neighbours, Lukon, who also saw a possible federation between them as a precursor to a more aggressive stance towards all other realms. However, the Long Wars have recently ended, both Alowca and Alebad have been wiped from the map and their lands added to Oritolon. Furthermore the evil religion of the Trinity has also been expunged from the land. Now Oritolon is entering a new age of peace and prosperity, one in which we may all know a brighter tomorrow.
