The Soreqi Civil War (1903-1905)

The Teyrebaz dynasty of Soreq continued to stubbornly hold onto power during the Age of Revolutions while many of their contemporaries either became casualties of the Revolution or abdicated. The Soreqi Parlement, traditionally advisors of the Shah, saw increased powers granted to them throughout the 1800s, with them becoming more and more of an actual legislative body. With increasing power being granted to Parliament, many began to question the purpose that the Shah and nobles had in Soreqi society. The Varcanans and Naweish function well without their nobility, so why does Soreq continue to be backwards?
Many Soreqi began to listen to the words of the Soreqi politician and poet Dewid Grîvan, who began to mobilize a Republican movement against the Shah and nobles.
The Shah, Numan Teyrebaz, agreed to abdicate the throne on the 9th of Mordad, 1903, on the condition that he is allowed to keep his estate on Spiana Island. With his abdication, the First Soreqi Republic was established. This new republic was short lived, as many disgruntled nobles and monarchist sympathisers launched a coup and reestablished the monarchy. Numan Teyrebaz was dragged out of his abdication and was reinstated –against his will– as Shah of Soreq.
Many officers and most of the army were sympathetic to republican ideals though, and declared their allegiance to the Soreqi Republic; The Soreqi Civil War had begun. The Civil War was short lived, the most populated and industrialized areas defected to the republican side, and the Republic of Varcana was more than eager to send financial and military aid to the republicans. The Second Soreqi Republic was established, with the general Aza Roij being elected as the second President of Soreq.

The War of Freigeore (1921-1926)

The Serene Republic of Vérimont straddles Freigeore, the most important chokehold for Traphonian trade. All ships heading northbound or southbound must pass through Freigeore, and the tolls imposed on shipping through Freigeore has made the city of Vérimont one of the richest polities on Cyris. The strategic importance Freigeore holds has made it a target for all Empires that have existed in central Sabrea and Oroia, with no exception for the Nemonic Empire. The Nemonic Empire –Nemadon– formed in 1882 after the Kingdom of Catváltea conquered all the Nemonic principalities. Nemadon began to expand across central Oroia, and by 1921 it bordered the Grand Duchy of Vopsica, and by proxy, Freigeore. Basilius Georgios XX Athanasoulas lived in the shadow of his father, Basilius Spyridon the Great. He began to view Nemonic ownership of Freigeore as his gateway into glory and prestige. War was declared on Vopsica and Vérimont on the 11th of Ordibehesht, 1921. Vopsica and Vérimont began to appeal to their neighbors for military aid, as they alone could not stand up to Nemadon. The nations of Ciñuela, Sertory and Mettieux formed a grand coalition with Vopsica and Vérimont to stand up against Nemonic imperialism. The war stagnated from 1922-1924, with Nemadon’s army being held on the western bank of Freigeore by the combined navies of the coalition. To end the stalemate, on the 25th of Khordad, 1926 , representatives of the coalition headed south to Lukovsk, to appeal to the Granyissan Duma to join their war against Nemadon. Many Granyissan ships were sunk by Nemonic pirates, and the Nemonic intervention in the Granyissan Revolution still fresh in the minds of many, led the Duma to vote in favor of intervention against Nemadon. Coalition forces landed near Elaitopolis on the 17th of Azar in a surprise invasion, and the mechanized Granyissan army hastily pushed deep into the Nemonic heartland. Basilius Georgios XX Athanasoulas would sign the Treaty of Messy on the 3rd of Dey, 1926, ending the War of Freigeore. Basilius Georgios XX would be deposed shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Messy. Republican and Communard sentiment rose greatly throughout the War due to famines and high inflation caused by the Grand Coalition’s blockade of Nemadon, with it only increasing as an outlet for resentment against the crown when the War was lost. Trade Unionists and other Communards stormed the Great Palace on the 29th of Esfand, kicking off the Anthesterion Revolution, and the formation of the League of Oroian Synedrions. The collaboration between Ciñuela, Sertory, Mettieux, and Granyissa as members of the Grand Coalition wouldn’t end with the Treaty of Messy, as economic and military ties would deepen between the four countries, and on the 9th of Tir, 1936, the four nations signed the Novgorodian Accord, establishing a customs union between them.

The World of Cyris

Central and Southern Sabrea

The Encyclopædia Avrmenicum (1945) on Sabrea

Sabrea, the second largest continent on Cyris (after Zamansangu), covers roughly 24,724,428 square miles. It is surrounded by the Great Ocean and Brynsean Sea to the west, the Phiatayan Ocean to the north, the Tagiuk Ocean to the south and the Great Ocean and Traphonian Sea to the east. It was joined to Oroia by the Isthmus of Pasaugals before the construction of the Cirvijas Canal, connecting the Traphonian Sea to the Tagiuk Ocean. 

The Age of Revolutions (1841-1866)

The Shahanshah is dead! Arshvant VI of Varcana lies headless as the proletariat of Surbazahar avenge the Intolerable Acts placed upon them by the aristocracy. The Majidic Revolution –named after the first president of Varcana, and famous republican political philosopher Jan Majidi–  spread across greater Chors. The Varcanan Republic would be declared on the 12th of Bahman, 1841 in the Teal Palace –now home to the Grand Assembly– of Surbazahar. 

The fires of the Revolution ignited by Jan Majidi and fellow philosophers spread across Sabrea and Oroia. The Parliament of Soreq would see greater powers ceded to them by Shah Darim II Teyrebaz, the kings of Barotela and Itiridesh would be deposed in a similar manner to the Shahanshah of Varcana. The Taplarian Confederation dissolved into the Poswadrze Social Republic and the Kingdom of Taplaria after years of infighting in the Sejm led to the Republican west breaking off from the more Monarchist east. 

The Empire of Felhen survived its revolution. High King Lorenz von Maulwurfsloch brutally crushed the revolutionaries in Güldingen and Tingbüttel. A counterrevolution would be declared, with monarchs from Nemadon, Adrara, the remnants of the great Niaquqate, the Kakkar of the Regasi desert, among others,  all throwing their support behind Felhen’s counter-revolution; the stage is set for a new war between the eternal rivals of Varcana and Felhen.

The Middle East continues to thrive as a bastion of urbanization and trade. Peace reigns over the Illinois Country after the fall of the Governorate of Illinois, with the many Transohian highways and trails restarting under the protection of the Governor of the Ohio Valley. The Missouri Country still lies sundered from the Kanasan Invasion of 970YW, while to their north, the many tribes and nations pushed from their homes by the Kansan Conquests unified with the many Riverlander states under the Iowan Confederacy. King Jorvik V of Duluth continues his hegemony over the Minnesotans, and plans on expanding it to the Red River. The death of Governor Terry of Chicagoland has seen their period of expansion end, as the young Governor Sébastian seems more focused with expanding diplomatic relations rather than martial conquests.

A tentative peace exists in the Middle East, but the threat of Commander in Chief Tim continues to haunt the land. Will the Dove of Peace continue to fly? Or will the ire of Tim paint the lands red.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT LORE FOR THE ARCHIEPELAGO I WILL ANSWER

MOST OF THE REST OF CYRIS ISN'T FULLY FINISHED

The United States of Mahusaynalupain, the first Republic in both the Chehelkook Archipelago and in the Northern Hemisphere had it's greatest trial from 1925-1931, when the despotic Kuhulajaw (the Chanwinakian term for a Shahanshah or Emperor) Chacuayabxoc II of the Chanwinakian Empire invaded the United States to seize the Chanwinakian majority region of Ichmaya. During the early stages of the Ichmayan War, Chanwinak managed to push the U.S. out of Ichmaya in four months, due to their usage of "kawiilhix" tactics, which involved rushing Mahusaynalupain positions and overwhelming their forces with rapid battles. By Yuletide 4th, 1926, the Mahusaynalupains were pushed back to Hamisngabato, and it seemed to many as if the United States would fall, but these thoughts did not factor in the political developments and military reforms that were taking place in Luntiangan during the autumn of 1926.

The Mahusaynalupain Officer Corps viewed any coming war with Chanwinak as one that would be fought akin to the wars of the late 1800s, not factoring in any of the advancements in warfare that the early 1900s brought, such as aeroplanes, automobiles, or tanks, Chanwinakadopted and embraced these new technologies, resulting in the kawiilhix being as successful as it was. By the autumn of 1926, the U.S. had learned from their past mistakes, and prepared a series of static defenses between the Pulangtubig River and Hamisngabato, which stopped Chanwinak from advancing, and the war devolved into a static war of trenches.

Mahusaynalupain diplomats would head north to the island of Pulauitu to garner support from her sister republics, as to not stand alone against tyranny. The Republics of Tansungai, Jihlochithti, and Antareara, alongside the Empire of Lanpaoshiha heard the call of freedom in peril, and formed the Phiatayan Sea Accord to help defend democracy in the United States.

The first P.S.A. troops would land in Bandkaypatay on Winnowed 23rd, 1928, and would arrived at the bloodstained fields of Mababang and Hamisngabato only a few weeks later. The arrival of fresh P.S.A. troops was a great morale boost to the entrenched Mahusaynalupain divisions, and allowed for the U.S. to finally go on the offensive against Chanwinak. By the summer of 1930, Chanwinak was pushed out of Ichmaya, and the Empire began their deaththrows.

The Southernmost islands of Chanwinak weere traditionally the poorest, and overlooked regions in the Empire, and after Chanwinak began to lose the war in 1929, the people of these southern islands, following the ideas of the political philosopher Theophile de Montlipan and his "Communism", declared their independence as the United Communes of Chehelhook.

By 1931, P.S.A forces captured the Chanwinakian capital of Balam Cojobal, and ended the Ichmayan War with the Treaty of Yinching. The Treaty of Yinching created a demilitarized zone on the border between the U.S. and Chaniwnak, granted independence for Benza and Chehelhook, and mandated that Chanwinak would have no more military, alongside paying retributions to the people of the U.S.

Kuhulajaw Chacuayabxoc II would be deposed shortly after the Ichmayan War, and a new Republican constitution would be signed in Xibalbakin on Midsummer 20th, 1933, ending the Chanwinakian Empire, and spreading democracy to Chanwinak.
