Summary
Founded in the late Winter of 21 YD (9th of January, 2013), the Republic of Swordfell was formed by a ratified and long planned secession of the duchies of Flowrestown and Balance's Retreat. Diplomatically, the territories now falling under the Fellish domain were legally certified in three documents. The earliest treaty to mention the colony was the Elntorak Agreement signed by the Morek Empire and Corsanctum in the Autumn of 17 YD (25th December, 2011). The second is the Border Agreement for Morek Colony signed between the Morek Empire, Corsanctum, and the prenatal Fellish Assembly in the Autumn of 20 YD (22nd September, 2012). Finally, the third is the Toprakian Compact signed between the Morek Empire, Luria Nova and the Fellish Assembly in the Autumn of 21 YD (30th November, 2012).
The Republic is positioned in Central Toprak and is currently composed of two major regions, the Flow Peninsula and the Divide Mountains. These also form the Republic's two duchies.

Culture
- Demonym of the nobles of Swordfell is Fellish, as chosen via a contest within the Fellish Assembly. The winning suggestion was offered by Overseer Claude Onyxis.
- The Flowrestown Theatre Company performed a highly charged satirical play called "Lock Jaw!" in the Spring of 21 YD as a reaction to the Mud Crisis. It was written and directed by none other than the Demon of Dwilight himself. Near the end of the Spring, the Demon made a sequel: "The Man in the Stone Tower." The season after, in the Summer of 22 YD, saw the theatre put on its most audacious play ever, by staging "Too Hot to Trot." Late in the Autumn of 22 YD, Lord Bowie put on another political play called "One Voice Above All."
- To celebrate the two week anniversary of the Republic's foundation, Lord Bowie hosted a grand event at his estate in Flowrestown. The event was known as the Spring Opener!
- As per the Edict of Lord Imperator Bowie in the Winter of 22 YD, the duchies of Balance's Retreat and Flowrestown are hereby named the Duchy of Sol and the Duchy of Aquil. The names being derivatives of and testaments to Solaria and Aquilegia whom used to occupy those regions earlier in Central Toprak history.
