The League of Syradine, was a democratic nation in the centre/north of Cinder. It was one of the first nations to be founded, and the first nation to practice democracy. Syradine was founded on the Gold coast, bordering the Evonian Sea. It's only neighbour at the time was Lavard and the Kingdom of Istraks.
Etymology
History
Founding and First Government
The League of Syradine was among the first nations to announce its existence in Cinder, done so by Arengo Ashelya of Selûne, supported by her sister Kryia of Selûne, who acted as Doge to the pledging republic.
The League of Syradine did not have formal legislature during the foundation, since it lacked the population to support an extensive government. Instead it acted on a social contract between the citizens and government.
"Led in all affairs concerning the external relations of the Nation and all its military applications by the Doge Kryia. So far as internal matters are concerned and applications of trade, these shall be overseen by the Arengo Ashelya."
On the 2th Moon, 2st Dawn of the 1st Era (Aug 23 2023), Arengo Ashelya proclaimed that the government would proclaim that the first recognised by the League of Syradine would be that of the Arannese Church and the League of Syradine would follow the "Book of the Divines".
Growth
The League of Syradine would experience a lot of growth in the coming months. Monterro, the first proper city of the republic, grew rapidly, and on 5M/2/D/1E, Khanstantin Linetti of Tintorini joined the League. He would play a pivotal role in the times to come, and started construction of Porto Giglio, which would grow into Tintorini with time. Later on, Ashelya and Kryia their uncle, Pepper of Selûne, would join the fold, and start construction of Auction City on the northern continent of Fortica. The League was viewed with a very positive light by outsiders, and as time grew on, it would become more active in international affairs. The League would not have to wait long, as on 14th of september 2023, Cauldra declared they would send their military to the City-State of Lavard, citing that Lavard was planning to destroy Cauldra. The then King of Cauldra, Swonki, reached out to Doge Kryia with sensitive information to explain Cauldra's move. Doge Kryia herself would open dialogue with Lavard to get more information, and the same day, the League of Syradine announced their concern around the war against their only neighbour and close ally. The League would start sending military supplies to Lavard to help them fend of the Cauldrans, and to the worlds amazement Lavard won the war.
The League of Syradine would go on to sign a treaty of friendship with the Duchy of Danúvia. More importantly, the League, having gained a sufficient population, would unanimously approve the Constitution of the League of Syradine on the 18th of september 2023. This constitution would also signal the first democratic election in Cinder, and start a long tradition of democracy in the Gold Coast region. The first election was won by Kryia of Selûne, with a majority of 3 to 2 votes.
Second Government
Having established a constitution, Doge Kryia would announce her cabinet. Khanstantin Linetti of Tintorini would act as Consigliere of Commerce and Communication, as he would work improve the Syradinese economy and trade connections. High-Priestess Ashelya of Selûne would act as Consigliere of Spiritual Matters, advising the nation on any religious matters and spiritual issues as well as making sure that the League had a good standing before the Divines. Lastly, Pepper of Selûne would act as Consigliere of National Image. He would work on improving the League their reputation around the world, making the League appealing to workers and tourist alike. Syradine would work the coming months to develop its cities, continue working on deepening trade connections, and expand its influences. Notably the Red Castle in Syradine City started construction under Kryia of Selûne.This time would also see the construction of the Syradine Metro, having laid its first connections from Viconi, formerly Auction City, and Tintorini.
The second elections would come about on the 16th of October 2023, having been won by Khanstantin Linetti of Tintorini. Doge Khanstantin wanted to continue the focus of industrialisation for the League, and pushed for the Syradinian Industralisation Plan to be approved, which the Commissione would vote in. This plan managed to see to it that the League would further industrialise their land, and not have to rely on others like it did during its foundation. One moon after the election, the League of Syradine and the City-state of Lavard would come together to sign the Golden Evonian Pact. This pact would see to an economic and military alliance between the two states. The League of Syradine would always see Lavard to be in their sphere of influence, and did not appreciate other nations getting majorly involved with Lavard. During this time, some tensions would arise between the League of Syradine and Kingdom of Istraks. The League of Syradine had some resentment from when Istraks annexed the city-state of Shikaga on the 12th of september 2023, as they were now very close to one another and bordering the heartlands of Syradine. The League would take offense at the Kingdom of Istraks calling itself the 'Defender of the North', as the League viewed Istraks as imperialistic and simply expansionist. High-Priestess Ashelya of Selûne would say the following about the situation:
"You are no defenders, you are vultures. My support for your republic against the former king remains the same, but the actions of your state imply a continuation of your barely semi-civilized practices."
Prelude to the war of Compensation
The war between Cauldra and the Khanate in november of 2023 would spark the League of Syradine to take action internationally. In this war volunteers of Syradine fought against volunteers of Crannoghold, and Boggers of Crannoghold lost armour and his horse's life in this fight. On 13 November 2023 Crannoghold would would demand compensation from the League of Syradine in the form of one netherite ingot, 128 diamonds, 64 books and 128 iron ingots. The League of Syradine was insulted, and preparations to go to war with Crannoghold were made. Doge Khanstantin would respond to this demand, and publicly reject it. Crannoghold would once again encourage for the League to pay the compensation, which was ignored by the League. During this time, Cauldra was in danger of splintering, and the one concern for the League was that the Khanate would join Crannoghold if the League would go on the offensive. However the Khanate gave several guarantees that they would not involve themselves in the north. A large purchase would be made from Aranna with different supplies for the war to further help the League in their preparations. Scarlet Harlot of Aranna would also express their support to the League and pledge to defend it should it be attacked. The Duchy of Danúvia would pledge support as per the Syradine-Danúvian treaty of Friendship. Before war could be declared, the League of Syradine would enter its third elections, with Pepper of Selûne achieving victory and becoming the third Doge of the League.
Third Government
War of Compensation
Having been reigned in as the third Doge, Pepper of Selûne would declare war against Crannoghold on the 17th of november 2023. The same day, the Kingdom of Istraks would follow suit in declaring war against Crannoghold and join Syradine. The League appreciated the extra help, but wanted to be the ones fighting their war. One moon after this, the Republic of Thundra would also declare war against Crannoghold. The day before battle would be had, Crannoghold would experience a coup d'etat organized by Toainsully. The former chief would be overthrown, and a new socialist state would be installed. There was a lot of distrust around the coup, and the government of the League expected it have been orchestrated by the ex Chief Boggers himself. Nevertheless, the League was willing to try and trust this new government, and a peace deal would be reached where the League of Syradine would be paid 32 diamonds, one horse, a public apology, and both states would agree to the construction of a road between Viconi and Crannoghold and a non-aggression pact lasting two weeks. In case the coop was orchestrated by Boggers, a clause was added that the NAP would be broken if the ex chief would find power again in Crannoghold. The League of Syradine would be taught a lesson to be prepared for war anytime, and on the 19th of november 2023, Kryia would propose herself to become Consigliere of War, to further prepare for potential threats. This would be accepted by the Doge the same day, and Kryia would announce a Three Week Arnament Plan to further boost the military capacities of the League.
Thundran-Syradine Conflict
Shortly after the War of Compensation, another situation would arise between the League and Thundra, which could easily escalate into war.
