Zeiberland: Difference between revisions

The peninsula was slowly divided into different kingdoms. There were three main kingdoms that would be prevalent until the 1500s. The three were the Eizyuez, the Zeibans and the Kerok. The Leshmans could also be considered as a powerful kingdom at that time. These emipres were fairly peaceful other than minor conflicts until 1367 when the Leshmans annexed a smaller state, Wañor(now Wagnor) which put them in direct contact with the Zeibans. Wañor was protected by Zeiban and when it was annexed, Zeiban, with its then ruler, Queen Khanzada II, decided to end the years of peace and one of the most important wars in the history of the peninsula begun. It lasted for almost 10 years from 1368 - 1377. The Leshmans were far weaker in terms of military strength. However their then ruler, Babar Majide won over the town of Savigle and Nemar fort. He was regarded as a tactical genius. However, he grew severely ill and his brother, Baad saw this opportunity and together with the Zeibans, assassinated Babar in 1375. Baad then was crowned ruler of Leshman, and Wañor was returned to the Zeibans. However, Baad wasn't satisfying with this deal and pretended to retreat while secretly setting up his troops to launch an attack on the retreating Zeban forces. However, Khanzada expected this and surprised Baad and killed him in the second battle of Wañor in 1376. The Leshmans kept fighting, however they were quickly overwhelmed and surrendered 8 months later. Thus ended the Leshman empire. The Zeibans annexed all territory to the north of Kanghiz (Now north Katalania). The small region below was freed from Leshman rule and thus came the region of Resenbool. Meanwhile, Eizyue prepared to launch an attack on the Zebans with their armies focused on the south. However, the winter of 1377 stalled the Eizyue long enough for the Zebans to march their armies back north. The Eizyue attack was slowed. However the Zeibans were weakened from battle with the Leshmans. The Eizyue wanted to take advantage of this and launched an attack. They did, in 1378 and the Eizyue annexed some territory south of the Hlu river. However, after the death of their ruler, Armain Yegar due to disease, the Eizyue signed a peace treaty. It was taken over by a peace loving pacifist, Eidam Yegar from 1379 -1407. He was disliked by his own people and was gotten rid of a few years later. In the far west, Kerok was formed on the banks of the Rumrari strait. It would grow untouched, except by [[United Socialist Provinces of Rumrari|Rumrari]]. Zeiban annexed smaller towns towards the centre while Eizyue expanded northward. Only in 1442 did that peace shatter.

On the 14th of January 1442, a large uprising takes place towards the north of Ostenvil. This uprising was led by the ethnic zeiban elves and nekomimi. They arranged an armed revolt all over the capital and smaller towns. The elven soldiers mutinied and many civilians joined the cause. The royal court saw betrayals and the royal family fled the capital. However many soldiers and humans of Eizyue were against elves and nekomimi taking control. Thus began a civil war that would tear the country apart. However, the majority of the non-human population were uneducated and the uprising slowly died down. The king saw the opportunity and returned to the throne and promised peace for the humans and the betterment of non humans. The civil war officially over in April of 1445. However, elves and nekomimi were treated worse than before and peace was never truly achieved. Over few years the empire saw a divide between the humans and non humans. A puppet state was formed for the non humans towards the north. This state was poor and has very little resources. Towards the south of the peninsula, the Zeiban were advancing at a rapid rate. They had normalised portable gunpowder weapons, the early firearms. They also improved canons. At midnight in the 23rd June 1438, the Zeiban forces launched the largest scale attack in the history of the peninsula on Kanghiz(Katalania). A squad of 50 men infiltrated the city and weakened the city's defences. In a few hours, thousands of soldiers marched in and Resenbool surrendered. After the loss of thousands of lives, Resenbool was lost and Kanghiz was renamed to Katalania. Parts of Resenbool was allowed to exist as a puppet state. Eizyue started fearing the growing Zeiban empire. To the far west, kkerok expanded up the Rumrari strait.
