History

The Royal Society (1755-1925)

Founding

The Royal Society of Ilesland was founded in 1755 when they seceded from The North. Sir Thomas Snow of Villerona signed the formal letter to the King marking the end of The North. The Royal Society was led by the Snow family who maintained the previous unions system of Kings, Lords, and Serfs. However King Thomas Snow delegated a significant amount of power to the provinces of Ilesland, allowing them to elect representatives and set laws under Provincial Courts. This level of freedom was new to the people and provinces of Ilesland and garnered the Snow family large support.

The First Snow Dynasty

The Snow Dynasty lasted from 1755 to 1790. King Thomas Snow ruled until his death in 1780 when his son Prince Henry Snow took the throne.

Henry was known to be much less merciful than his father, and upon his rise to power King Henry removed all provincial power and dismantled the Provincial Courts. King Henry removed all unroyal citizens from the Castle City within Villerona. This led to what became known as The Great Terror. Knights of Henry's Royal Army were known to execute any dissenters and were given the rights to all land. The king starved thousands of innocent citizens by stealing crops and poisoning cattle. In retaliation Lord Fredrich Wellisburg IV of Hurstall led the 1790 Rising, which resulted in the Death of King Henry Snow.
