Fontan (Realm)/The Swelling Tyranny
Much has changed since this writing causing it to become outdated, yet it remains a document of its time and place.
Ex., The Fontan Civil War ended on September 5th, 1008 by the fall of Fontan City.
According to Sir Armstrong Ironsides
During this current war, our Beacon of Democracy is being pummelled by devilish enemies. There is much more history to this war than is presented here, and hopefully a wider scope will be added in the near future to satisfy all curious minds. Especially once there is a moment to collect our thoughts and put them to the books. Until then, this brief summary must do.
Due to serious factionalism within the nobility, and the outcomes of those feuds, Fontan finds itself against five raging foes. This war is a continuation of one that was being fought between Fontan vs. Old Rancagua and Sirion. While that war furthered on, the Tyrant Gregor Relak ceded the Duchy of Fontan and declared civil war. This opened up a deep wound in the once mighty expanding Fontan. Taking advantage of this weakness, and taking advantage of the unfortunate Krimml Incident, Perdan and Caligus jumped into the fray. Now we Fontanese sit surrounded by enemies, how lucky we are!
Despite many efforts, peace is yet to be reached with the northern half of the continent (OR and Sirion), and the selfish and immoral southern half (Caligus and Perdan) continue to rake in our blood day by day. During this difficult time, we have lost many noble heroes on the field of battle or in the ring of duels. This war is a trying test of the Fontanese way, but however tight the vice may be our Democracy will prevail! Our nobles will see to that.
The Civil War has also brought about the return of patriotism and love of Fontanese democracy that was thought to have been lacking during the expansionist days. Though the times seem their darkest, there continue to be nobles of inspiring heroism. They are the ones who use their lives to benefit all Fontanese and do so without the expectation of award. Living or dead, may their names be remembered for the great souls they are.
After a series of changes in the Chancellorship, back and forth from The Revenger to Alise, Lord Mikhail won the office early and now runs the realm with a farseeing vision. Praise to his good nature and democratic principles. Also, the wise and virtuous Lady Moira entered the position of Judge, may her justice keep Fontan noble. Lord Basilius and Lord Elberan remain General and Banker respectively. They are a testament to the exceptional skills Fontan possess.
