HistoryBirthYssaria was born, phoenix like, out of the fire and chaos of the death of Fallangard. Fallengard had been created by Ubent after the detruction of the realm of Isadril, until Fallengard too, fell to a joint assaults from Caligus, Perdan, Ubent, and Ibladesh. The chaos of this war left Hamadan and Isadril in a rogue state, ruled by no lord, for months. Ubent managed to take control of the city of Isadril, but chaos still, by and large, ruled the land. It was then that the peseant Ardor, of whom little is known, rose up, inspiring his fellows to form a new realm to give peace and security to their homes, and Yssaria was born. It was born with the idealism of its founder, who sought to create a realm that was not part of the wars that had engulfed the island for years, and would engulf it for years still. But it was not to be. The Early StrugglesShortly after Yssaria was born, the Duke of Isadril, Rackir, joined the realm, bringing Isadril with him. Isadril city had no love for Ubent, who controlled it at the time, having suffered twice at their hands. Thus the new realm consisted of Isadril, Hamadan, and Mashhad. Many nobles, far and wide flocked to the realm, inspired by its ideals and its opportunities. Nobles from all realms and all religions were accepted without prejudice. The new realm thus quickly aquired two problems: It did not have enough food to feed the people of its cities, and Ubent and her allies wanted her regions for themselves. Thus, practically for the moment of its birth, Yssaria was a realm under siege. The Betrayal of RamirezRamirez was one of the many nobles who had flocked to the banner of Yssaria, and it was he who took rule over the realm when Ardor was wounded. He convinced Ubent to cease it attacks, giving the new realm a brief respite. Ardor took the reins again after recovering, but after a bit of time decided to take a rest from the burdens of rule. It was then that Ramirez committed an act that would have far ranging and long standing consequences that still echo to this very day, for he traveled to Isadril and betrayed his realm by handing the region over to Caligus. He was promptly protested out of office and then left to join Caligus, completing his treachery. When Ardor returned, he did not wish to become king again, and I am Solo took the reins. He demanded Isadril back, or at the very least recompense for the city, but the Caligans would not hear of it. Thus Yssaria went to war against them. Caligus gave Isadril to Ubent and then attacked Mashhad, beggening the spilling of blood between those two realms. Isadril revolted from Ubent and returned to Yssaria, and the grim busniness of war began in earnest. It was a war for survival, with Yssaria struggling to defend its three regions and feed its people. Even as its nobles defended the small realm its traders dashed, hid and evaded the various enemy armies on the continent to bring the food that was always in short supply. Fontan and Itorunt allied the infant realm and helped ensure its survival. No words are sufficient to describe the debt Yssaria owes to these two allies. How long this state of affairs dragged on, I am uncertain, I was not there for all of it. But a turning point did come. While Caligus was distracted, Yssaria went on the offensive against Ubent, and won a series of victories that stabilized the realm and ensured its survival. Tota, Igno, Leibo and Abadan were taken, and for the first time Yssaria posses enough farm land to feed her people. Some time after this, Yssaria and Ubent reached a peace. The Caligan StruggleThe war against Caligus is filled with too many twists and turns, victories and defeats a plenty on both sides. (in progress...) History ArchivesA chornicle of the history of Yssaria as recorded in her early days: Yssaria is a young realm made up of Hamadan, Isadril, and Mashad. It was created by the peasant Ardor, who united the people of Isadril, Hamadan, and Mashad(all of them rogue regions at the time), and encouraged them to create their own nation. The peasants chose him to be their king. Immediately nobles from all over the East Continent, and even from other islands, started to flock to Yssaria, hoping to be able to contribute to the small realm. Ardor accepted all, no matter nationality, or religion. Ardor loved the people of Yssaria. When he wrote a realm description of Yssaria he wrote: Yssaria is rising from the ashes of the eastern cities destroyed in neverending wars. This young realm was formed by peasants who were tired of the repeated destruction of their homelands. They desired peace above all else. Soon after its creation, war was declared upon Yssaria by Ubent, who wanted to help Caligus regain control of Hamadan and Mashad, and give them Isadril. Yssaria asked for help, and help came. Fontan allied with Yssaria, as well as Itorunt. Ubent was forced to reconsider. During this time, Ardor was wounded by an assassin, and Ramirez took his place for several days. Ramirez was able to convince Ubent to stop their attacks against Yssaria. Ardor soon recovered, and took his place as king again. Things were running smoothly in Yssaria. The attacks by Ubent had stopped, and food was coming in from other realms to help feed the people of Isadril and Hamadan. Ardor decided that it was time to take a small vacation. He stepped down as king, and let Ramirez take his place. Ramirez then headed to Isadril, and proceded to give the city to Caligus. Massive protests forced him out of his position as king, and I was elected. Ramirez, still general, stepped down as High Marshall, and declared loyalty to Caligus. He then left Yssaria, and joined Caligus. Isadril was demanded back from Caligus, but Caligus would not hand it over. Ardor came back from his vacation, and decided that what he wished to accomplish as king was done. As king, I demanded at least payment for Isadril. None came. I then declared war on Caligus, because they would not pay us for what is rightfully ours. A while afterwards, Caligus gave Isadril to Ubent, then attacked Mashad. Ubent tried to force the Isadrilians to submit to their control, but instead, they revolted, and joined us again. For now, I have no more to say, because I have come to the present moment in the history of Yssaria. ~ 'King I am Solo |
