History

The Beginnings

The Republic of Escaria was founded in February 1799 after AdmiralDewi's broke away from the Valyrian Freehold, after controversies concerning his assassination by fellow Valyrians. After its formation, the Republic was joined by T0ED and Doggy, who became the first captains of Escaria. The following month, the city of Euthlond was established by Dewi, and construction begun.

The first Escarian-Valyrian war

Contextually, war was declared on Valyria and a months-long conflict begun. Neither side was capable of striking a decisive attack, until a large raid was prepared against the Valyrian Capital, Mereen. The two Escarian captains led the attack and were able to slay the Valyrian leader, Khaleesi. Her sword was stolen and taken back to Euthlond where soon disaster struck. The two captains argued over who should hold onto the sword. Lord Protector Dewi intentions were to hold onto the artifact, awaiting for a Valyrian ransom. However, greed diverte the two captains from Dewi's plans, and they slew each other until they were warned by Lord Protector Dewi to be at peace or be punished. The two captains were furious at their leader and plotted to destroy him. In the night, whilst he was asleep, they took everything that was contained within Euthlond and they burnt it before they fled into the far west. And so the first war came to and end.

This was not the end for the Republic. Dewi worked hard to improve Euthlond and soon fearsome warriors joined him as the second war against Valyria began. A raid on the Valyrian port successfully captured three warships which were used for Escarian expeditions across the globe. But the Valyrians hit back and reclaimed these ships. A military attempt was then made by Dewi to place a regiment of soldiers camped around Mereen who would regularly raid the capital. This was a great success and forced Valyria into defence. Because of Valyrian weakness, they requested peace which was given with the terms that Escarians could use all Valyrian paths.

Then in May, a third short conflict was begun by the Valyrians who made an ocean raid on Euthlond. By this time, the Republic had established the early stages of the city of Andelin which was south of Euthlond. The Valyrian raid was a partial success although an Escarian raid later on reclaimed what was stolen and more.

The Great Split

Since May, the cities of Segalond and Raynir had been established and the Republic was rapidly expanding. The Lord Protector assigned the role of Admiral to FearMyFeedEU and IqarosQ.

However, this period of bliss was only short-lived. Leading up to August 6th 1799, calls for Elections arose, driven by the Admiral IqarosQ, who critizised AdmiralDewis weak standing with the other guilds, which led to difficulties in outside trade relations. It is important to note that at this point, a large majority of the Escarian population lived in the Province of Raynir, of which IqarosQ was the Governor. The negotioations for a new form of Government were however not fruitful, and even though a vote of no confidence was held, the decision of the provinces of Raynir under IqarosQ and Andelin under RedRanjer09 to withdraw from the Republic where already made. Hence, on the eve of August 6th 1799, the two provinces withdrew from the Republic of Escaria and, together with the city of Tyrosh under T0ed, formed TheUnitedAlethkar.

Following the Incident, FearMyFeedEU, Lord of Segalond and second in Commmand to Lord Protector AdmiralDewi, was made Lord Protector and will henceforth be ruling what remains of the Republic alongside Dewi.

Historical Accounts

The Offical Notice of Withdrawal from IqarosQ, Lord of Raynir

My council have spoken and a vote has been taken. After talking with Red and other members of Andelin, Raynir will be withdrawing from the Republic of Escaria. We hope to continue good relations and will keep you in mind for favourable trade. it has been an honour serving, good luck and fair winds.

As thelandtime101, a citizen of Raynir, put it:

After calls for an election started to arise in the Republic of Escaria,
The Tyrant demanded an explanation and refused to relinquish his powers After explaining that his choices and moves against other nations had compromised the position of some of the members states The Tyrant allowed the election, and Banished members who voted against his rule Effect of Immediately, and as Voted on by the High Council of both Raynir, and Andelin, The Republic of Escaria is dissolved. Hence Forth, Andelin, Raynir and Tyrosh are to unify under the banner of the United Alethkar. This nation built on the ideals broken by the defunct Republic of Escaria. The Representatives, RedRanjer, IquarosQ, and T0ED, are entrusted to lead the United Alethkar in it's infant stages.
For freedom, for Liberty, long may we sail the sea and the sky.

(here, thelandtime101 falsly claims that the Republic of Escaria had been dissolved. However only ties between the two provinces and Escaria had been dissolved)

Internal Structure

The Republic of Escaria is a Federal Republic which is devided into Provinces, each with their own government. The Governors of each of these Provinces form the Government of the Republic, which is headed by th two Lord Protectors.
