The Creation Of Toupellon

Founding Roots

The realm was conceived as an idea fostered in days long past, after the great Highland Wars. Duke Anatole, of Colassan, defense minister of the Lasanar Republic, had proposed an idea with Prime Minister Milan von Krondor; to rectify outlying issues concerning the realm's growth, and dissent over the transition of a monarchy rule, to that of a republic. It was agreed the duchy of Colassan, and the duchy of Ossaet, under Duke Draban, would secede from Lasanar to form Toupellon; a vassal monarchy realm. Unfortunately, problems had arisen, such as Colassan being the capitol, and the overwhelming support; leading to its inevitable postponement. Soon after, Duke Anatole set sail on a prolonged personal voyage, leading to the complete abandonment of the project. It was until the duke returned, that the contrivance was resumed.

The Great Secession

Written by Lady Taylin Indirik

Toupellon was officially formed by the secession of the duchy of Colasan from the kingdom of Cathay. The duchy of Ozrat immediately left Ohnar West to join the new realm, followed quickly by the Ohnarian duchy of Akanos. Within a day, the duchies of Anacan and Taop had left Cathay to join the new realm, bringing Toupellon to a total of five duchies and fifteen regions. Duke Claude Finsternis of Ozrat, unhappy with the way things had been proceeding in Ohnar West, immediately revealed to the nobles of Ohnar West that he had been working with Duke Anatole on plans for the formation of the new realm. Duke Claude sent a message to Ohnar West detailing his reasons for leaving Ohnar West, and then took his duchy to the Toupellon. Duchess Taylin Indirik of Akanos, also unhappy with the recent trends in Ohnar West, did the same.

Things did not stop there, however. The dissatisfaction of the nobles of Cathay with their new King was apparently more widespread than first thought. In a surprise move, Duke James of Anacan and Duke Merlin of Taop also left Cathay to throw their lot in with Toupellon. These unexpected additions expanded the realm significantly farther south than planned. Stability has now become a primary concern, for subjugation of such a broad range of regions is not easily attained.

Government

Monarchism

In accordance to the initial proposition by Duke Anatole in the times of Lasanar, Toupellon had been founded on the stones of a Monarchy. The Ruler, Anatole, had declared himself prince of the sovereign state, with a Margrave as his general, Lord (Lady) High Justice as his judge, and Lord (Lady) High Treasurer as his banker. After seemingly minor debates with the nobles of Toupellon, Prince Anatole, with the agreement of two foreign monarchs, had officially declared himself King of Toupellon; rendering the sovereign state into a kingdom; in which all council positions are appointed through the divine leadership of the king.

Assemblies

It was decided that the creation of aggregations were necessary to the functionality of Toupellon. As such, the following were created:

The High Council- The king, and all council members.

The Justice Corps- The king, council members, and one elect noble. Serves as counsel to the Lord (Lady) High Justice.

The Parliament of Lords- Aggregation of all land owners, and the king.

The Warmoot- Council of War, including sponsors, marshals and vice-marshals, and the king.

Record of Events

Genesis (Present Times)

King Anatole, the first king of Toupellon, had orchestrated the secession of duchies in order to form the realm of Toupellon. With the initial secessions, many dukes and duchesses from outlying regions had sought opportunity and relief in the new realm. As such, many followed suit in seceding their duchies, and in less than one week, Toupellon had grown from three duchies, to six; with a grand total of eighteen regions. Consequently, the king had many duties to attend, including the appointments of the council, the separation of power, and the creation of aggregations. The position of Margrave had initially gone to Count Havelon Minex, though soon after, he resigned the position, conferring the position to Lysander Goodfellow; creating much controversy amongst former nobles of Ohnar West. The seat of Lord Hight Justice was appointed to the duke of Ozrat, Claude Finsternis, and the seat of Lord High Treasurer to Count Sparticus Bathgate.

Soon, several knights and lords had expressed discontent, as many were dragged into Toupellon simply from the secession of their respective duchies. Countless slights were exchanged, and there were several who left the realm; abandoning their true oaths and duties. King Anatole, at this event in time, had proven to the realm his temperance, mercy, and patience, by rendering an understanding with many of the nobles, and providing solace to those who spoke of sedition. To further ease the worries of the nobles, alliances were signed with Arcaea, and Greater Aenilia; alongside peace treaties with Arcachon, C'Thonia, Kindara, and Ohnar West. This effectively isolated Cathay as the only immediate and potential threat to Toupellon, for rumors of a march on Anacan were widespread throughout the realm.

Military

Genesis

It was decided that the necessity for two armies was far to great for the 18 regions of Toupellon. The Vanguard of Toupellon was the precedent army, created to counter any Cathayan attack to the south, and the Rearguard of Toupellon, to defend and support the regions of the north.

The Vanguard of Toupellon (Active) - Sponsor Duke Excalibur, of Colassan. Marshal Garamonde Bendix. Vice-Marshal Balthazzar III (Requested).

The Rearguard of Toupellon (Active) - Sponsor Duke Claude, of Ozrat. Marshal undecided. Vice-Marshal undecided.

-The triggering event for the formation of the new realm was the election of Optimus McGahee as the new King of Cathay. Many nobles of Cathay, including Duke Anatole Bradnon of Colasan, felt that King McGahee was a traitor to the Cathay, and did not deserve to be King. When the election results were received, Optimus had been elected King, but with only 13% of the total votes. Duke Anatole immediately seceded Colasan to form Toupellon.
-Duke Claude Finsternis of Ozrat, unhappy with the way things had been proceeding in Ohnar West, immediately revealed to the nobles of Ohnar West that he had been working with Duke Anatole on plans for the formation of the new realm. Duke Claude sent a message to Ohnar West detailing his reasons for leaving Ohnar West, and then took his duchy to the Toupellon.
