The history of Tissandra began with the rise of the [[Hellenistic Civilization]] around 700 bc. The divided tribes united under the [[Eranorth Tribe]] and began the [[Pax Hellenica]] around the year 500 bc. The [[Hellenic Empire]] occupied much of Yasteria Major for 5 century, before the [[Great Revolt]], led by [[Vinitius Clint]] in 1 bc overthrew the despotic hierarchy, and founded the [[Clintinian Republic]]. The Republic downfall in 527 led to the Hundred States era that lasted until 1865, when the [[First Civil War]] ended in a stalemate and divided the realm into the [[East West
==Etymology==
The name "Tissandra" first derived from the ancient [[Eranorth Tribe]]. No one actually clearly knows about the real meaning of the name for the Eranorthians. But for the Hellenistic cultures that
The Hundred States Era further drains the usage of Tissandra, as during this time, there was a surge of Hellenic converted into the Children of Abraham. Peoples usually atributed themselves into local lordships or regions, and so the name of Tissandra fell in popularity during the early and middle periods of the era. During the rennaisance, prominent philosophers used this name in their works, such as Robert Bertolli's 'People of Tissandra', and Jaem Cato's 'Mighty Swords', both published in 1456. Both books called for national unity, and set trends throughout the region, inciting the ideals of unification.
The first official use of the name came before the [[Tissandra Fisrt Civil War|First Civil War]] when the Duke of Eranorth took the title, 'King of Tissandra', which in ancient hellenic means 'Descendants of Tissa'. This act quickly followed by the formation of the Republic of Tissandra. The usage throughout the pre-civil war era, and post-civil war era was used as a propaganda for unionist factions and political parties between the two halves of the nation, hence it quickly gained traction as the most popular way of referring to the entirety of the nation, as early as 1865.
==History==
Historical Intellects and scientist agreed that the [[History of Tissandra]] mainly consisted of six stages; [[Tribes of Yasteria|Tribal Era]],
===Pre-Historical Era===
Around 1000 bc, Middle Yasteria was occupied by both Yasterian Natives and Coasts Tribes. The origin of these Coast Tribes are unknown, although there are lot of its remnants around the caves in Packilvania's coasts. The tribes were peacefully coexist, with some evidents showed trading and migration happened between the tribes. Some artefacts from this periods including casted irons and clay potteries were found in Yasteria's interiors, even though these goods were only produced by the coastal tribes. Some remnants of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex Ibex] bones were also found around a former coastal tribe village near Annuriel, although Ibexs are only found in inner Yasteria, suggesting a burgeoning barter enterprise.
The mainland tribes were mostly migrational in nature, although they did setles and cultivate some corps between two to three months. These migrational tribes is thought to came from nearby areas that now consisted of Packilvania, while the coastal tribes were most likely came from further areas, with some suggesting that the coastal tribes were seeafarers from the islands of [[Peregrinia]]. This ideas was put forward firstly by [[Professor Natalie Watcher]] from the University of Anuriel. She pointed at the mainly maritime culture of the coastal tribes, and the different physical appearance they have with the mainland tribes. However, another theory persisted, mainly among the supporters of the Union of Tissandra, that both tribes were descended from the same mainland tribes of Yasteria.
The tribes lived in the area for roughly 10,000 years as neolithic farmers, or as hunter gatherers for the mainland tribes. The coastal tribes built many villages and evidently, a complex of structures that resembles a city just outside Creçore, the [[Anerimian Structures]] which dated back to 2,000bc. These were mainly agricultural and fishing communities, with rarely any distinction between one tribe and another. Apart from casted irons and clay potteries, many lapis lazuli jewelry were found especially around Anuriel. Gold was rarely found from this era, as the coast of Tissandra lacks precious ore. Gold was more prevalent among the artefacts of the mainland tribes, as their homeland was close to the gold ore concentrations along the Yasterian Range. Gold artefacts found in coastal areas further proves that both tribes did had a flourishing trade. Evidently, the coastal tribes were much more advanced than the mainlanders, and so they were the ones who developed sophistication in information exchanges that culminated into early [[Old Hellenic]] writing. The earliest Old Hellenic writing was found on the [[Alita tablet]] which was placed on the side of a huge monolithic tablet erected in Eranorth, called the [[King's Finger]].
===Hellenic Era===
The Alita Tablet was made by a migrating coastal people called the Erathi around 800bc. The reason for this migration is unknown, but the migration seems coincided with the founding of Eranorth. The tablet described a semi mythical king, [[Æthélfled]], as the one who led these people to migrates inward. The tablet said that Æthélfled was the son of Alty, who was herself a great grandson of [[Tissa]], the Goddes of The Earth and [[Hellen]], the God of The Sky. This claims proves that the Hellenic Religion was already widely spread, particularly among the coastal people. The tablet then described that Æthélfled died on the Yasterian Range when he led his men across during a hurricane. A folklore developed from this story, that often said that the hurricane was unnatural, and was started by Æthélfled's brother, [[Æron]]. Æron continued his brother's conquest, acording to the tablet, and managed to subjugates a huge area surrounding the city of Eranorth. His conquest was cut short by Æthélfled's heir, [[Queen Eleana|Eleana]], who deposed and hung him for treason around 700bc. [[File:Eleana Æçara.jpeg|thumb|Eleana and her husband, Huron|alt=|left|129x129px]]During the reign of Eleana, she formulated the first codified law inside Tissandra, the so called [[Codex Maxima]] (The Final Verdict). She dubbed herself the first [[Shallah]] (parent) of the Hellenic followers. During this time, the sun dial was also invented, and calculation of dates and times began, even though in a very simplistic way, formulating into [[Hellenic Calendar]] that was personaly aproved by Eleana. Archeology evidents showed that the first intentional road building project was carried in Eranorth, during Eleana's reign, becoming the first public work project ever be carried out in Tissandra's history. The Codex Maxima was found right behind the Alita Tablet, on the other side of the King's Finger. The Codex surprisingly filled with ideas that can be considered revolutionary for the time. It divided the administration into executives, legislatives, and an independent judiciary branch, suggesting that political philosophy was thriving at the time. It also stated the main rights and responsibility of the people, and a tax system even though not as advanced as the later stages of the civilization. The third side of the King's Finger, showed not an atached tablet, but a writing directly carved into the monolith structure. This side is called the Hero's side, as it listed battle victories and the commanders that led Hellenic mens in these victories. The list provided a great timeline for the expansion of the Hellenic Civilization, and also proves that most of the Hellenic expansions were carried out during Eleana's reign.
According to a clay tablet found in Anuriel, the Tablet of The Kings, Eleana's five direct descendants were known as the [[Philosopher Shallas|Phillosopher Shallas]]. The tablet described these five kings as benevolent and intelligent rulers that bring about a golden age in the civilization. The tablet listed King Araman, King Dunain, King Athura, King Conquitara, and King Bastierra as the philosopher kings. The philosopher kings ruled for almost 400 years. The Hero's side is still listing victories during the time of the philosopher kings, but the numbers isn't as many and the battle results aren't as glorious as the time during the reign of Eleana. The Hero's side listed that around 400bc, King [[Æthura]] led the Hellenic once more across the Yasterian Range, and managed to surpass the deadly passes. He would gone to conquer most of the tribes west of the ranges. He and then his son, King [[Conquitara]] moved eastward and won another victory against the mainland tribes. Finaly, around 300bc, King [[Bastierra]] won a final victory against the mainland tribe of Seducca possibly in an area that is now a part of Alva. [[File:Marcus Aurelius Denarius2.jpg|thumb|[[Bastierra]] in a Hellenica Coin. |alt=|130x130px|left]]The reign of King [[Bastierra]] is the most well documented of all of the philosopher kings, and even of Eleana's own reign. The main chronicler of Bastierra's reign was a mainland confidant of the King, [[Athura the Red Faced]], and the political philosopher [[Andryth of Anuriel]]. Both chronicler agreed that Bastierra's reign was a kind of a golden age for the Hellenic Civilization. For 300 years now, the Hellenic people had been transforming from a despotical tribesmen into a bureaucratic empire. Athura wrote in his chronicle that Bastierra was fond of building grand buildings. Athura was present when Bastierra ceremoniously blessed the Grand Acqueduct. The biggest project Bastierra carried out was the founding of a brand new city as his summer capital in the southern part of the realm. The city was named Alclairçreoe (the white marble), but the name now changed into a more comprehendable name of Creçore (the marble) referring to the many white marbles used during the construction. Andryth was somewath more critical to the construction of the city. as he stated in his book 'Enlightened Kings' that the projects was an example of an un-enlightened king, as it drains taxes of the people. However, the city center was finished around 250bc, and Athura said that the king was 'fast to move in' to the new city. Historian agreed that the project did cost a lot of money, and evident showed a decrease in numbers of trade activity throughout the civilization's territory. Around this time, Bastierra also christened some terms for the political system of the civilization. Although elected counselors and advisors already existed during Eleana's and her descendants' reigns, the terms [[Senate of the Shallah|Sænatu Princapa]] (Senate of The People) and [[Congress of the Shallah|Aconguiles Princapa]] (Congress of The People) was only conceived during Bastierra's reign. The right and responsibility, as well as the elections of these legislature bodies were prescribed inside the Terminal Corata (Testament of Conduct), Bastierra's own version of Codex Maxima. But the king was still a very powerful position, as the Terminal Corata stated that the king can 'dismiss everyone' he found unsuitable, although laws and taxes was still the dominion of the legislature.
[[File:Rm Fr.jpg|thumb|[[Carniol]], a giant forum in Creçoré where Senators and Congressman confide. |252x252px]]After the death of Bastierra around 200bc, Eleana's line ended as Bastierra didn't marry and he was the only son of King Conquitara. The descendants of Dæstan, the second son of King Dunain, claimed the throne and the Senate did approve the claim. But the descendants of Arima, the daughter of King Araman contested the claim, and present their own family as the rightful ruler. The Senate and Congress of the realm quickly divided into factions, supporting either the Dæstan or the Arima. The division was followed by a succession war that was estimated to last for at least three years. The sources were unclear about the times of this conflict, but Athura's chronicle did said about the war lasting for a 'brief long time'. The war ended after Carmac Dæstan captured Creçore and most of the members of the Amira dynasty. The Amiras were repotedly exiled into the interior, culminating in today's urban myth of a rightful Amira King still living in the western areas of Tissandra. After the war, Carmac moved the capital back to Eranorth.
Chronicler and writers of the Dæstan era didn't viewed the era as a golden age anymore. Andryth of Anuriel's disciple, Conga Leslie, writes some critical judgment against the Dæstan, spesificaly toward King Carmac for his 'brutal' war and a punitive tax law that Carmac raised during his reign. Reportedly, the King now set his own tax system, and dismissed the Senate and Congress as an advisory body. However the conditions were improving after Carmac's death, and his brother, Galantir, took the throne. Galantir returned the original rights of the legislature, and restarted the military expansion of the realm to subjugated the interior tribes that seceded during the succession war.
▲====The Golden Days ====
During the expedition eastward around 100bc, [[Galantir Dæstan]] died. His son, [[Ærica]] was reportedly still 7 year old when the tragic death occured. Acording to Conga's chronicle, the elites inside the Senate quickly took over the King's responsibility and set up an interegnum administration, even though Bastierra's Terminal Corata stated that a king can be of any age. The senate reimplemented Carmac's punitive tax system for their own benefit, and began the time that according to Conga's chronicle as the Time of Troubles.
====The
[[File:Stepan Blois.jpg|thumb|Ærica's fresco, inside the [[Temple for Caron]] |230x230px|alt=|left]]In the year 50bc, for the first time in Tissandra's history, a monotheistic believe was practiced. The new faith began to spread in Creçore and its surrounding. Some historian still argues about the real events surrounding the spread of this new faith, but its generally agreed that it was brought by [[Abraham]] son of [[Lucca]]. Abraham began his preaching after he was reportedly strangled by a demon on his way home. He was said to be acquited by an angle, and then was brought into the throne of the One God, and christened as an emissary and a father figure for the people. Soon enough many Hellenic believers converts to Abraham's religion and called themselves the [[Children of Abraham]]. Abraham preaches about peace and caring, and most importantly equality were very popular among the people, and he garnered the name The Resolver. His preaches were written into the [[Book of Essence]], and were quickly spreads throughout the realm. Abraham garnered reputation and quickly became and influential figure. This however made him a lot of enemies, especially among the Hellenic Priest who called him 'Tissa's own temptation to test mankind's resolve'. The political figures were not impressed as well, especially with Abraham's preaches about equality.
The Stories of Abraham stated that the Senate blamed the king's death to Abraham, and ordered him to be hanged During the execution process, he reveals his final revelation now called [[The Prophecy of Angelas]] stating his forgiveness to anyone wrongly accusing him, and that ordering his 'childrens' to spread his words with love and care to save the world from void of hatred and anger. The executioner hanged him right after his revelation finished. Abraham's execution clearly proved the Senate's corruption and scheming, and resulted into an open strive and military conflicts throughout the next half of the century, usually dubbed The Kinstrive.
▲It was told that Abraham moved from Creçore to Eranorth on the year 62 bc. He met with Ærica, and began to teach the young King his teaching. The most notorious senator at that time, [[Duræni]] 'The Bloated' reportedly began to deliver some lies and accusations against Abraham, finalizing in the Senate's order to catch him. The Senate sent the city bailiffs to arrest him in Eranorth's market, but unbeknownst to them, Abraham was with Ærica at that time. The bailiffs, possibly didn't know that the you disciple of Abraham was the king himself, knocked out the young man with a club, and arrested Abraham. Its possible that this act was the mortal blow to the king, as he died just a week later.
==== The Kinstrive====
[[The Kinstrive]] was a series of peasant and religious dissent that followed the execution of Abraham son of Lucca
The natural philosopher, [[Eldric the Wise]] who lives through the time of the strive moved to live with the peaceful mainland tribes and gains most of his accounts of the strive from traveling merchants. His accounts aren't complete, but they are the only reliable sources for a definitive explanation of the Kinstrive. Eldric said that there were always mob fires in Eranorth and Creçore, suggesting protest against the senate. He also noted a large number of senator resigned fromtheir post and led new factions agaisnt the corrupt senators. The Congress is weirdly didn't showed up in any of Eldric's account, suggesting that the body was abolished. He also noted that foreign merchants stayed away from the realm's port 'waiting the fires to be putted out'. Eldric didn't went back to hos home in Anuriel until well after the Siege of Creçore.
====The Great Revolt====
[[File:Vinitius Clint.jpg|thumb|236x236px|[[Vinitius Clint]]'s statue in [[Creçore]].]]
The [[Siege of Creçore]] marks the beginning of the Great Revolt. Clint then started an extensive guerilla wars and skirmishes. The former militants of the strives joined his growing army, and on
Vinitius Clint's campaigns culminated into the [[Battle of Anuriel]]
===Clintinian Republic
After the fall of the Hellenic Realm, Vinitius Clint and the former senators who were part of the [[Golden Sphere]] formed the Clintinian Republic. The Republic was modeled after the Hellenic Empire, but with some reforms, codified into the historic [[Anuriel Testament]]. The Golden Sphere quickly formed the new [[Congress of The Republic]], and drawn up

The Republic era showed little to no military expansion
The Republic enters a period of stagnation around 400 ac, resulting in a bloated bureaucracy, and more red tapes. The main contributor of this stagnation was the unreformed [[Constitution of The Republic]], which in turn made the nation helpless to made any innovation or efficiency on its bureaucrats. The bodies of The Republic increased in size, making decisions harder to formulate. This all happens all the while the Congress and the Consulate continues to debate over jurisdiction and responsibilities. These factors ultimately culminates into the [[492 Election]], on which the nation are splitted into right and left politics. The heated political situation of the year 492 and 493 was further abated by [[Consul Hannah Marigold]] and the left's constant attacks to the Congress in general, and to the right in particular. The debates increase the national militancy, and upheavals began to soar in number. Around the year 500, new Monarchist ideas began to emerge, preferring a strong hereditary ruler over a republic of red tapes. The idea gain tractions predominantly in the east side of the nations, around the city of Eranorth. The ideas was fiercely debated by the left, and [[Consul Adrian Malachus]] began to prosecute anyone with such idea.
