Overview
The Sovereign Republic of Halcyon was founded by Kharyn Kye JeVondair, Duchess of Alebad, in 2017 when Oritolon seceded the Duchy of Alebad to form a new sovereignty. Around the walls of Alebad a resilient and budding nation was built, strongly focused on maritime culture, martial prowess and trading enterprises. The Realm is dominantly influenced by equality of the peerage which is etched into laws and rules of Halcyon and major political changes or differences are settled by votes of the nobility.
History
Beginnings
The Sovereign Republic of Halcyon was founded when, at the behest and command of the Colonial Senate, Oritolon was tasked with seceding the Duchy of Alebad in adherence to Colonial rules that no one land shall have more than one city. Kharyn, then Fiduciary and Marshal in Oritolon, volunteered and was selected by Pippa Anderbliss, Queen of Oritolon, to reign as Duchess of Alebad and see to the formation of the new realm. Knights from many prominent families soon arrived to sign their names to the foundations of the new polity, selecting to become a Republic on the name and imagery of Halcyon after many days of discussion and healthy debate. At its beginning Halcyon was a small realm sandwiched between larger, older powers, playing a cautious game focused on economics and diplomacy to maintain the sovereignty.
Renaissance
TBC (Battle of the Hooves, Loss of Alebad.)
Land and People
Land that falls under Halcyon's domain is very rich and strategically important. Bustling and powerful cities are surrounded by lush and fertile farmlands that offer bountiful harvests and every here and there a fresh and unique piece of land exists that makes the domain very diversified and highly prized.
The city of Alebad emanates the greatest influence on the lands and people of Halcyon. Alebad shares the borders with the great Alebadian River and the open seas and represents the only coastline crossing point to the south and to Alowcan peninsula. People of Alebad are a maritime folk whose chief business revolves around the waters, fish and salt. Distilleries rake in product from the surrounding rural farmlands to produce all manner of alcohols that serve as Halcyon's chief export. Developed economy and exotic wares make the city a giant trading hub and long-voyage galleons and caravels frequent the harbors day and night. Alebad is surrounded by Abakan forest to the south and a vast stretch of farmed lands that stretch from Vir el Mari heights to Bode Batura and end with Maira Merani in the north.
To the south the most recognizable landmark of Halcyon's dominion are the palm jungles of Irdalni and the city of Alowca. The jungle lands of Irdalni are unique habitat in all of Colonies that offers some of the most unusual animals ever seen. Sand creatures known as camels are available there and at least once a year the locals see small herds of elephants. South of Irdalni the city of Alowca defies the passing of time as she continues to survive and thrive against extremely vicious and tumultuous history she's been through. Her gleaming towers stand the tallest in all of the south and her massive lighthouses orchestrate and direct sea traffic around the peninsula. The westernmost stretch of land on the peninsula is known as Warmanoras, a fertile and large region that abounds with animals, making animal husbandry a dominant preoccupation for the locals.
People of Halcyon are very religious and extremely god-fearing beings as each generation inherited severe religious influence from past realms that thrived here. Extreme theocratic principles are engraved and steeped deep in the history of this land as former Theocracies of Alebad and Alowca held considerable influence. Theocratic structures were later replaced by Electorate of Minas Thalion and the Dominion of Aren but the deeply rooted beliefs never ceased to exist or leave the pious people of Halcyon.
Government
Halcytes chose the Republican system of government chiefly to differentiate themselves from the many monarchies on the Colonies. All ruling council positions are subject to regular votes. Perhaps unique to this young culture is that rather than establishing traditional titles, Sovereign Kharyn encouraged all newly elected council officials to choose their own titles. The idea being that if they did a good or respectable job, their successors might choose to continue their legacy by maintaining and passing on the title their predecessors chose.
TBC (Council of the Seven and Red Council).
Military
Armies
Brewmaster's Army - defunct standing army of Halcyon. It was familiar for black and blue colors, banners and sigil of city of Alebad. The army's most renowned victory was in the Battle of the Hooves. Eventually it was shut down during the Renaissance of the Republic and Halcyon's transformation to a major power in the south.
Phoenix Legion - active standing army of Halcyon, recognizable for its golden-red colors, phoenix insignia and sigil of city of Alowca.
