The Republic of Aborex

The Republic of Aborex was the victor of the Second Aborex Civil War. Led by The Steep, it was born out of fear of The Influence of the Stars, a disease with left its victims dead within 7 days and covered in small white spots. The first election was held before the civil war and named Lady Mesla Redhill as ruler. After the civil war, she called for an election in order to please the populations of Dalta and Atlo (Greenhill, Oprox, and Fort Nywil had all declared independence during the war). Sir Elowyr Steep was elected as head of the republic and called for a consultative body. A second election was held for each city and town to choose it's own representative to sit in the castle in The Steep. 44 towns and cities sent a representative and thus The Council of The Steep was established.

Redhill remained the capital for the next 7 years until Sir Elowyr Steep resigned and another election was held. The capital was moved to The Steep and Sir Bant Brawley was elected ruler. He was a charismatic leader who called for the conquering of the Teryon Tribe (shown in purple) as they had taken to raiding border towns and hired bandits and criminals in The Steep.

The war was quick and at its end another election was held to please the new citizens with Sir Bant Brawley passing legislature through the council that an election would be held every 7 years or with every new integration of territory.

Rule continued and the Republic oversaw the rise of 4 cities, Clearwater, Hossbend, and Chesturton in the North, and Issleport in the South. Over time the cities grew more independent from the deadlock in the council. More and more power was handed over to the local governments and The United Cities of Aborex was established in 25 when Sir Torin Issle dissolved The Council of The Steep and created The Collection of Lords which did not have power over any of the local city governments.
