Founding of Papania

The realm of Papania was founded on March 16, 2008 by Milan von Krondor, Duke of Ossaet by way of secession from the Republic of Lasanar. Also seceding from Lasanar at the time were the Duchies of Akanos (founding Ohnar), Sasrhas (founding Ohnar West), and Colasan (joining Ethiala). The original regions were the City of Ossaet, Abilotiel, Isular and Semon, under command of Lords Milan von Krondor, Vidad Filador, Vinatyfir Serpentis and Lady Nightling Balewind, respectively. Shortly after the new realm's birth, Lord Karpur Dur of Anaos also abandoned Lasanar to join Papania. The first Lord Commander appointed was Vidad Filador, and the first Banker was Sorbad D'Saferate. A judge was not elected for 30 days due to a buearucratic formality.

Early History

Papania's early history made its success all the more profound. Even before Anaos had joined the young realm, the realm of Ethalia threatened to attack if control of Isular was not immediately and unconditionally handed over. After some debate, it was decided to hold firm in position - a strategy that ultimately worked, but not without the threat of attack looming for some weeks to come. Meanwhile, regions in the undermanned realm suffered from lack of sufficient noble support; each day was a battle to maintain control in nearly every region, and yet there was talk about expansion from some of the younger, more ambitious nobles. Foremost among these nobles was the finally elected Judge, Baroness Nightling, who was of the opinion that Papania should take the city of Colasan from Ethalia by force. Supported by Banker Sorbad, but opposed by High Lord Milan, Duke Vidad, Lord Commander Vulpes and others, the angered Judge banned four of the five region lords, and another noble who did not share her views. Her treason could not have come at a worse time, for that day was also election day for Papania. With so few valid votes remaining, the traitor was elected ruler, but immediately fled the continent. Banker Sorbad also fled the continent, and it is suspected that there was a plan to sell the majority of Papania's food to another realm. Papania was left without ruler, banker or judge for a day. When the chaos settled, a number of titles had been redistributed, and the honour of a few nobles was soiled, but in the end, no one was seriously hurt.
