The History of Sint

The Theocracy of Sint was formed less than 9 months ago after several troopleaders were basically booted out of Ashborn. They complained we were too vocal after we were suggesting ways to improve the efficiency of the realm and the massive waste of gold and resources that was happening in Ashborn. We had around 1000 gold provided mainly by the infil activites of Zif'shun and Angelica and about 150 men(2 infantry groups comprising 70 soldiers total and 80 archers as a TO unit) and we maneuvered and fought our way through literally hundred of monsters and undead in approximately 14 battles for 3 weeks before we were able to do a colony TO of Fianik.

The first members of Sint were in order Rick, Bocephus, and Lestre. Soon after Atoc, Templ, Donuil, Angelica, Cyric, Sesucee, Gilead, Zimm, Zif'shun, Dulthalos and Sanam joined us. We have since grown to well over 30 troopleaders. The name Sint is from the great family of Sint which Zimm and Zif'shun are direct descendants of who fought and occupied this region in the past. Although not listed as royals they are of royal blood and essentially are a part of Sint which is why Zimm will always have a permanent spot on the council and Zif'shun would also if he was not an infil. Donuil mysteriously disappeared and Sesucee and Lestre committed suicide after being unable to cope with our new faith in our god Hemaglobe.

Sint faced many struggles starting out and was desparate for food and a place to repair equipment since population was under 100 in all of our regions and production was not high enough in Fianik to support a repair shop. Old Grehk gave us food and we helped finance a repair shop in Gethsemene (which had higher production) in exchange for the right to use it. Ashborn offered no help and declared us an "unofficial colony" and gave all their aid to their "offical colony" of VN. It was later reported by Zif'shun that he alone had raised over 1,000 gold for the colony of Sint yet only 1000 gold was given for the total colony effort of Sint from all the work done by Zif'shun, Angelica and others.

Sint then incorporated all of their troopleaders knowledge into producing the efficient realm that they had talked about in Ashborn. When our realm went to war with Ashborn we quickly proved who was right and who was wrong in our argument as Sint has yet to lose a region to Ashborn and has taken 9 regions from them.

No realm has ever grown so great and so powerful in such a short period of time. This is the result of the hard work of all the troopleaders and the blessing of our god Hemaglobe that watches over us.

Brothers of Sint

All members of Plergoth and Old Grehk are considered brothers to all Sintians. Sint no longer considers itself a colony of Ashborn since it was only Old Grehk that came to the aid of Sint in desparate times. Plerogth has supported Sint in its recent wars vs 4 enemies and Sint will fight to the death for Plergoth in any conflict.

Heroes of Sint

The Grand Hall of Sint currently only has 3 bronze statues in it that commemorate the highest honor anyone can receive in Sint.

Hero #1 - King Vagabond of Old Grehk. A great man and role model for all members of Sint. His generosity, military support, gifts of food and offer of alliance allowed Sint to become the great realm it is today. Never has a more fair and just ruler ever graced the world.

Hero #2 - Chancellor Nymatal of Plergoth - Despite being stuck in a brutal war of his own vs. Mesh it was Plergoth that offered aid time and time again for Sint. Plergoth was able to keep Ashborn occupied until Sint was able to secure the city of Firbalt from Ashborn and ensure its dominance in the current war.

Hero #3 - Angelica of Sint. A founder of Sint and former conqueror of the Southeast Island she was completely dedicated to the realm and her Pontifex and helped finance some of the costs of the new realm. She perished in a duel vs. the evil Plunge of Ashborn and helped defend a crucial takeover of Ircymbar while doing so.
