Antoza Commonwealth

The Antoza Commonwealth

History

The Antoza Coast has always been known for her hospitality and generous trading offers. The Coast had 3 cities, the biggest Anacan was ruled by a King. The two smaller ones, Taop and Azros were rulled by the aristocracy. Since ancient times Anacan always was the center of the trade and embarking ships in the Far East, her central location and open people contributed to that. For long, there had always been peace. Anacan, Taop and Azros had their city-wars, bandits did raid the outer villages sometimes, but never had there been a major conflict for almost 200 years.

Until that day, the day when black sails could been seen coming from the horizon, the pirate raid. Since Anacan never had any major conflict the Kings never took time to build any walls. This mistake would now be felt. The Pirates destroyed all the ships within the great harbor, women were raped, children were taken as slaves and for fun, and any boy older looking then 13 to 14 years was butchered. Luckely the pirates never destroyed the city, they made sure the city could rebuild and restore so they could raid her again. From all the gold that was left, the king ordered a pallisade to be made and everybody old enough to help...helped. The King ordered a few scouts to find mercenaries for the defense for their town, and although not that well equipped these soldiers could fight. But the rich and influential didn't just let their king create an army they created a whole new group of soldiers, The Anacan Blue Guards. Not the best-trained soldiers but they had enough training to know how to use their equipment. Chaimail, good swords, good and big shields, closed helmets but with enough openings not to block their view. These soldiers were perfect for the defense of our city. And when the pirates came again they were butchered and from the prisoners the King could tell there was only once place these bandits game from......Batesaor. From the confiscated pirate ships they sailed and when they reached Batesaor, they city was looted and to the dissatisfaction of many officers and nobility...Butchered.

Waging war was expensive, even for such a rich city as Anacan. So the King attack the cities of Azros and Taop taking all the lands around them with them. The King got a taste for blood and war.....he had a never sadisfied hunger for power, the King became a warmonger. So after he had the coast under one banner he attacked Palnasos thinking the Svunnetlanders were unprepared for any assault. His soldiers got butchered, more and more the Antozian people got unhappy and some tried to revolt, all were crushed and killed. When the King finally died, the Antoza Coast was in a bad shape, torn by war and revolt, hunger because of bad crops, poor because of the Antozian-Svunnetland war. So a peace was signed between the coast and the Empire. And from that day on Antoza was Svunnetland territory.............but the people of the coast would get another change.........

That change was created in the time that Einar was ruler of Svunnetland. The lands were neglected and rebels stood up everywhere, the same problem occurred in the area of Antoza. So it came to pass that Duke Westley of Anacan decided to succeed. Pates under control of Baron Lu'an was the first to join Westley soon other regions joined the new founded realm: Zarimel, Ansopen. Taop was bought from the old Empire for 2000 gold, Leod was taken after a hard battle with the bandits. Haul was assaulted by a special forces group of the Antoza forces, under the command of Lu'an and Nemrus this neglected stronghold was soon taken from Nighthelm. Edairn, Azros and Arrmol were taken after words and this made the Antoza Commonwealth united once again. King Westley wouldn't see this day since he passed away from a unknow illness, the coast was in grief with the passing of the creator of the Commonwealth. Dunpiel was chosen as new King and under his control there also woulnd't be any conflict expect for the independent war of the grand Lodge of Lunaria. Even the hardest situations were handled by Dunpiel with a enormous diplomatic sense and so it came that he was known as Dunpiel the Talker. When Dunpiel decided to move from the coast Duke ShaddarRim of Taop was chosen as new King, under his control a war was declared against Svunnetland but except for a failed and called of attack on Ipsosez it hasn't really came to any major battle. The rule of ShaddarRim was only a few weeks and soon after he got crowned he stepped down. After ShaddarRim, Duke of Anacan and High Marshall Lu'an was crowned as new King and he would be known as King Lu'an the brave. Under his rule a ceasefire was signed with Svunnetland. The might of the Commonwealth still stands and is one of most powerful lands on the continent
