The Book of Swordfell

The Morek Empire - Conception

Conceived in the minds of a few Morekan nobles, particularly Lady Abbigal Pike, Lord Creed Avon, Former Grandmaster Garad Jhaelen Irsei, and Lord Bowie Ironsides circa 17 YD, the colony of Flowrestown, with the permission of the Morek Empire and the growing enthusiasm of new nobles, grew to become the Republic of Swordfell by 21 YD.

Within the Empire, the colonists discussed the realm together in a gathering known as the Fellish Assembly, where all of the major items of the Republic's operations were deliberated. Around 20 YD, contests for naming the government positions and the demonym of the nobility were held followed by elections for the government positions. The elected cabinet of the Fellish Republic was intended to be: Bowie Ironsides as Lord Imperator, Erevos Ektoria as Chancellor, Zarthra Cyrus as Archmarshal and Claude Onyxis as Overseer. Many prominent Morekans participated in the Assembly either with the intention of joining the colony or for financial, military, and visionary support. Supporters included Grandmaster Ingi Vlad, Ordermarshal Helm Altenahr and Duchess Eviera Lanze. The Fellish Assembly was joined by its Lurian colonists in the Summer of 21 YD as Duke Sevastian Guile brought his duchy from Luria Nova to the Empire. A vote was held to elect Balance's Retreat as the Republic's capital, and Sevastian Guile was given responsibility to secede the realm and form the Republic.

21 YD - Foundation and Crisis

Late in the Winter of 21 YD, Duke Sevastian Guile seceded from the Morek Empire to form the Republic of Swordfell. Immediately upon secession exploded what has come to be referred to as the Mud Crisis of 21 YD

The Mud Crisis of 21 YD

Entering the Spring of 21 YD, the Mud Crisis erupted centralizing around the fault line between Bowie Ironsides and Sevastian Guile. Lord Sevastian was entrusted with the duty of seceding the Province from the Empire to form the Republic. The rivalry began after Sevastian refused Bowie's request, and then order, to resign from his position to allow for the Demon of Dwilight to be elected Lord Imperator. The subsequent four days were ripe with verbal jousting and the Demon's notorious lambasting tongue. Bowie dissolved Sevastian's membership to the community and renounced him as a usurper and enemy of the Republic. Sevastian accused him of impatience and even forged letters to incriminate Bowie in two heinous but invented plots. Throughout, many vulgar ridicules were launched by Bowie against Sevastian. Chancellor Erevos resigned and departed the Republic in disgust of the feud and Chancellor Maxter was elected by referendum. The Fellish disapproved of Bowie's behaviour to the point of voting against him in the later election on the grounds of misconduct. In accordance with public opinion on the feud, the Republic allowed Sevastian his way on the condition that he resign after transferring the capital from Flowrestown to Balance's Retreat. On the fifth day, after transferring the capital, Sevastian decided he was not going to resign after all and with swift action announced himself the Princep of his new Imperial Republic. Thus began the tyranny of Sevastian which lasted roughly two days. By the seventh day of Swordfell, a majority of Fellish nobles denounced Sevastian in public. The Crisis resolved as Sevastian's tyranny was ousted due to public protesting. Sevastian was fined two hundred gold by Chancellor Maxter Perkeleet. Carrying over from Sevastian's tyranny, the rulership election was open to Lords of the realm only, making the election unrepresentative of the Republic. Nevertheless, Bowie conceded defeat to his long time friend and co-founder Abbigal Pike, who became the first Lady Imperatrice of Swordfell.
