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.
