The history of Tissandra began with the rise of the Hellenistic Civilization around 700 bc. Soon, 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 overthrew the despot, and founded the Clintinian Republic. The Republic downfall in 1556 led to the East West Divides that persisted well into the 20th century, where the devastating Second Civil War broke out in 1914. The unified modern nation today is the result of the Angelas Treaty signed in 1918.
Modern Tissandra is commonly described as decadent and corrupt, although life expectancy and quality of living are high. This attributes are seemingly derived from Native Yasterian who felt the nation occupies their territory unlawfully. The International society are still unresponsive to the stated captions.
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 succeed it the name came from the Legend of Hellen, where supossedly, Tissa the God of Earth was Helen, Goddes of The Skies' first true love. And so, universally accepted by the Hellenist, that the entirety of Tissandran people are descendants of Tissa and Hellen.
The first official use of the name came after the First Civil War where the two halves of the country claimed the name as their own. Today, the name Tissandra is codified in the section 2 paragraph 1 of the 1918 Constitution and stands as the official name for the Constitutional Monarchy.
History
Historical Intellects and scientist agreed that the History of Tissandra mainly consisted of six stages; Tribal Era, Hellenistic Civilization, Clintinian Republic, The Disunited Eras, The East-West Period, and the contemporary history.
Pre-Historical Era
Arround 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 was peacefully living together. Some evident showed that Native Yasterian received Iron pots and potteries from the Coast Tribes. Some remnants of Ibex bones was found around a former Coast Tribe villages near Annuriel, although Ibexs are only found Arround inner Yasterian, suggesting that trading was flourishing at that time.
Arround 800 bc, a Coast Tribe called the Ærath moved near Lake Tiberion. The exact date were unknown, but according to Aelita Tablet King Æthélfled was the one who led his tribe to conquer most of inner Yasterian, and subjugated most of Yasterian Natives.
The founding date of Eranorth seems correlates with Æthélfled's conquest, of around 800 bc. Æthélfled died on Yasterian Range when he led his tribal men across during a hurricane. Legend often stated that the hurricane was unnatural, and was started by Æthélfled's brother, Æron. The conquest was continued under Æron, until he was overthrewed by Æthélfled's heir, Eleana.
It was under Eleana, when the first Hellenic Temple was founded in Creçoré.
Hellenic Era
Eleana Æçara became the first Shallah of the Hellenic Civilization on 24th of August 624 bc, and gone to rule almost for 72 years. During her reign, Hellenist began to preached across Yasteria, while roads are built to connect the major villages and tribes of Yasteria Major.
Eleana's direct five descendants was acknowledged as the Phillosopher Shallas, whom ruled over the realm for almost 400 years. Under their leadership, Hellenist occupied much of Yasteria. Their times were colloquially known as the First Golden Ages. Wealth did accumulate on this era, and the borders of the realm became openned, allowing ideas and trades to flourish inside the realm. Some historians argues that the all of the prosperities of these times as mainly atributted to the strong but wise hands of the Philosopher Shallas, and the sophisticated bureaucratic state of the Hellenic people. Others sugeested that the long ages of the Phillosopher Shallas was the main reason, as it contains resentment and prevents political upheaval inside the realm to happens. Either way, the Hellenic Civilization made its greatest success and impact in this era.
Around 446 bc, Æthura led the Hellenist once more across the Yasteria Range, and managed to surpass the deadly passes. He would gone to conquer most of the tribes west of the ranges. He and his son, Conquitara moves eastward and won another victory against the interior tribesmen. Then, in 314 bc, Bastierra build the Grand Acqueducts, series of Acqueducts and irrigation across core lands of the Hellenist.
The Golden Days
In Bastierra's time, the Hellenist had transformed from a tribal despotism, into a bureaucratic empire. The nation now had an established political bodies. Life became more complicated, as social norms and national laws were flourishing. The realm expands and stabilized its borders, ensuring a long time of peace and prosperity.
Although elected counselors and advisors already existed during Eleana's rules, the embodiment of the Senate and Congress of the Shallah are ratified inside Æthura's Book of The Century. The Senate was a freely elected body of 300 people. Though everyone principally can be a Senator, only the rich are able to fund campaigns (Prætoras) across the nation. The Congress on the other hand, was elected by the Senate. Both Congress and Senate serve for a 6 years term and can be reelected multiple times.The realm also owned national institution, that each had its own branches regionally. The two institutions that were procurring the governance are the Magisterone and Milatireire.
The Dæstan
After the death of Bastierra on 292 bc, Eleana's line ended. The Succescion Wars that followed his death rampage the country for three years, until Carmac Dæstan won the siege of Creçoré. He was crowned Shallah in Eranorth, as the Emerald Palace in Creçoré has been destroyed during the brutal siege.
The reign of the Dæstans were filled with hardship, as Common Taxes was implemented to quickly rebuilt the burgeoning realm. But conquest continues, and during these times, Annuriel was founded. With the sovereign gone out on expeditions, there are no oversight for the collection of the Common Taxes. Soon, corruption ensues.
During the expedition eastward in 75 bc, Galantir Dæstan died. His son, Ærica was still 7 year old. Although the law explicitly said that a Shallah can be of any age, the Senate overulled it, and set up an Interregnum for Ærica. The times was often described in historical texts as a the Times of Troubles. Rich Senators often accept bribes or easement to disrupt the bureaucratic processes of the realm.
Taxes were levied twice as many as during the time of Galantir. This caused poverty soar, and the bureaucratic offices to be burdened. As such, the realm expansion halted; though its just reached its peak size.
The Prophecy of Angelas
Arround 64 bc, a new faith began to be established surrounding Creçore. Some historian argues about the truth behind the exhibition and expansion of this new faith, but its generally agreed that it was brought by Abraham son of Lucca. Abraham began his preaching around that year, and soon enough there were huge number of masses hearing him. Most people argues that Abraham's doctrine of sharing and equalities were very popular among the growing masses of poor across the country. And it is also agreed that Abraham's popularity derived the corrupt senators to act against him.
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, finalising 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 Senate ordered Abraham to be hanged, but during the execution process, he made a great speech called The Prophecy of Angelas (possibly referring to the Temple of Angelas near his execution ground). The executioner hanged him just right after his speech finished. The crowd suddenly lifted in uproar, and Eranorth was engulfed in rebellion for the entire year of 61 bc. The rebellion soon retreated outside the city, and began The Kinstrive. In the end of the year, the senators fled the city to Anuriel and called for mobilisation.
The Kinstrive
The Kinstrive was a series of peasant and religious dissent that followed the execution of Abraham son of Lucca on 61 bc, all the way to 1 ac. The rebellion that had started in Eranorth quickly spread across the realm. These dissent were not as large as wars, and its mostly consisted of skirmishes and ambushes between disorganised peasant armies, and the Senators private retinues, until the advent of the Great Revolt. During The Kinstrive, the Senators achieved their ultimate power, as the realm is leaderless. A kind of an oligarchy formed as they consolidated more powers to defeat the dissent.
Historians agreed that the advent of The Kinstrive did a lot to change the Hellenistic beliefs of the realm into the monotheistic Childrens of Abraham. The former disciples of Abraham spreads quickly into the realm's periphery to spread this faith. Even though it has a lasting effects, the chronology of the strives itself was not properly documented, and there are generally less historical evidense from this period, possibly due to the strives itself.
The Kinstrive ended when The Great Revolt broke out across the nation, led by a former General, Vinitius Clint in 5 bc.
The Great Revolt
The unstable times of the strives, and the amassing of powers on the hands of the senators led into growing dissatisfaction among the people. There were growing inequality between the elites and the commoner, as trades and commerce bean to halt. Arround this time, the eponymous semi-mythical general, Vinitius Clint led his Bands of Traitors into the first act of open rebellion against the senators. Clint led his bands into a series of succesful raids against senatorial possession during the strives, until the people of Creçoré requested him to protect their city from tax collectors. The refusal of Creçoré to give their annual taxes was followed by an entire army marching toward the city arround 5 bc. Clint and his mens rallied the population of the city, and managed to defend it for five days before evacuating the entire city into the countryside.
The Siege of Creçore marks the begining 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 arround 4 bc, Clint already in possession of 20,000 men. The senate declared Clint as outlaw, and that anyone following him will be regarded as traitors, but there were some senators that were giving support and monetary aids fo Clint's army, the so called Golden Sphere senators. One of them, Jacques Marie le-Brun, oppenly opposed the senate after Clint's victory at the Battle of Anuriel. His campaigns across the nation inspired many people, and Clint's humble background began to culminate into the people's support for a Republic.
Vinitius Clint's campaigns culminated into the Battle of Anuriel, and the subsequent Siege of Anuriel. During the twenty days of the siege, the senators continues to debate on what action should be taken. On the twenty first day of the siege, the Carniol of Anuriel was on fire and immediately destroyed by the flames. The senate withold anymore meetings, and on the thirtieth day of the siege, they surrenders.
Clintinian Republic Era
After the fall of the Hellenic Realm, Vinitius Clint and the former senators who were part of the Golden Sphere formed the Clintinian Republic.
