The Story

He was the first nobleman to have reached that close to the City of Paisly, but landfall was impossible due to the large numbers of wild creatures rampaging the shores. Lord Albert de Blanc, the Lord Admiral of the Isle Republic of Madina, had to call off the campaign and instructed his men to fall back to Madina City till more troops could be found to support the conquering of Paisly. The way back was difficult though and a heavy storm delayed his return to the mainland considerably.

After fifteen days of continuous sailing, the plans of taking over the distant City were left aside as the proper defence of the newly founded Republic from any kind of threat was a much more important task that required immediate attendance. It took a long time until Lord Albert de Blanc attempted to make landfall to the shores of Paisly, but this time he would not be going there alone. With the Republican Army at his command and after having stepped down from his leading position of authority, an entire detachment consisted of loyal and devoted noblemen that shared the vision of an independant realm in the West followed Lord Albert de Blanc till the City of Paisly.

A dozen of sailing-vessels left the shores of Madina City heading to the North-West until the shores of Paisly. The common folk had escaped from the wild creatures, but their fear of a similar attack in the future motivated them to accept the rule of the Isle Republic of Madina sooner than expected. Thus, only a couple of days later, Lord Albert de Blanc was officially appointed as the Governor of Paisly with the blesses of the legitimate Crown of the Isle Republic of Madina. As expected the wild creatures who had left the City of Paisly to seek food and human flesh on the outskirts mustered for their return to Paisly. Governor de Blanc of Paisly had been waiting for them well prepared and after three days of constant battle, the common folk was properly protected by the present noble forces.

In exchange for the devastated forces in Paisly, the locals wished to show their gratitude to the Governor by offering their entire fortunes to Governor de Blanc of Paisly for the strengthening of the much weakened army. However, the long distance from the Capital of Madina was making the return trip for refit impossible as the City of Paisly would then remain undefended and valnurable to attacks for days.

After a long time of disaster, the City of Paisly could finally enjoy Peace and prosperity; it was then when the song of the nighingale was first heard in the City of Paisly resting the soul and the mind of everyone present in the City. By investing the great fortunes of the folk that were entrusted to him in the military and trade, the City of Paisly turned to an independant City that was ready to undertake a new role as the Capital of a sovereign realm. Thus, upon the take over of Paisland, the Duchy of Paisly declared independence and a temporary government was established. The newly found realm was made known as the Monarchy of Melodia, the lands of the bards and merchants, and slowly sailing-vessels from all over the world full of colonists appeared in the horizon.

These were the first days of Melodia...
