Early History

For most of its history Karlsfell has been considered a “Fort City” and largely will remain so, the first couple people to settle within the region were the Effendiş people, the Effendiş would use the nearby mountains as natural defence and chose to settle in the area’s surrounding the plateau areas of Karlsfell.

Bardonian Arrival

Around this time Bardonia had conquered much of Syltör this culminated in almost a golden age period for Karlsfell, commonly referred to as the "Merchant Times" Bardonians settled quite peacefully with the local Effendiş people, many of them even starting families together. Around this time Remtal had elected its new King; Eirik Damerson Liberium. Which the Bardonian government supported by granting Remtal some autonomy and recognition of the Liberium Family as the rulers of Remtal. Many people in Remtal and Karlsfell however wished for more, however this didn't stop the rapid developement that was already ongoing.

Rule under Ryzan

The secession and subsequent creation of the Ryvenate of Ryzanspurred some questioning among Karlsfell, who at this point was already content with the Bardonians, however an agreement was made that Remtal would be expanded if they joined Ryzan and they would be given even greater autonomy and would be given money and funding to continue their growth. This would unfortuanately did not come, many in Karlsfell feeling betrayed by this, the King however insisted that people calm down, however as he was placating his people, the Ryzani government imposed many restrictions to the Effendiş majority, many Effendiş from southern Ryzan, Donklasgrad and Liberium were sent to Karlsfell, which created a mass of inflation for the city. However despite this act remaining being rather profound, many Effendiş forced from their historic homes, things would only get worse under the thumb of Ryzan. However many in Karlsfell would grow discontent with this and the KRA was formed by Eirik Damerson Liberium and certain Effendiş man from Deutzan; Konstanty Polat, the KRA (Karlsfellian Resistance Army) would commit itself to several ideas, notably however they would be; nationalism, freedom, King and people. This didn't sit well with the Ryzani government and, what turned into a skirmish from rock throwing, the Ryzani government is considered responsible for the genocide of 100,000-200,000 Effendiş-Remtalis.

The Battle of Eirik Hill

The battle of Eirik Hill was a border conflict between Ryzani-Donklasgrad and Karlsfell. It's unknown who intiated the battle but the heated tensions between both cities didn't help. The battle started when forces from Donklasgrad raised the Ryzani flag over the hill, seeing this from down low, Konstanty ordered his men stand guard whilst two detachements went behind the hill to flank, this strategy paid of tremendously, as the visibilty from the hill had been hindered due to a foggy morning. The estimated amount of casualties for the Donklasgrad forces are somewhere between 5,000 to 10,000, whilst the the Resistance Army only suffered a total of 1,200 and 800 wounded.

The Battle of the Corlu plain

The battle of the Corlu plain is considered to be Konstanty's finest victory and evidence of his superior tactics and planning. What started out as a declared border conflict of combined forces from Donklasgrad and Nebskoslavia, the invading forces did not plan their attack well, believeing that superior numbers would win with ease. However Konstanty already knew of their plans beforehand and had his troops in position, the Donklasgrad and Nebskoslavian forces had to march several miles during a hot summer day, many of these men already tired and weary, essentially the Karlsfellian forces were waiting for the tired enemy to arrive. The intial battle would last for a total of five days, both sides making little to no gains, finally when a counterattck came, the attackers were forced to retreat, this was followed by a calvary charge by the Karlsfellians which resulted in a complete slaughter of the retreating forces. It is estimated the Nebskoslavian and Donklasgrad forces suffered a total of 40,000 to 60,000 casualties. Whilst the Karlsfellain forces suffered 20,000.

Marshall, Prince, Paşa, Konstanty

King Eirikwould later adopt and then appoint Prince Konstanty von Liberium as Consul of Karlsfell, Konstanty would enact several reforms, these reforms being poltical, educational and economic. He also established the Parliament of Karlsfell, passed womens rights and would secede Karlsfell from Ryzan and join Bardonia. Many in Karlsfell adore Konstanty, as many believe without him, the Effendiş would've been eradicated. And at large he developed and created the conditions perfect for developement, many of people in Karlsfell refer to him as the "Prince of the People" whilst others use the Effendişword "Paşa" as a more honourific title towards his nationalist beliefs of a strong Effendiş people. After his death many statues were built of him in his honour, and a law was passed that his name and legacy may not be mistreated otherwise it would be seen as criminal.

The current Consul of Karlsfell is Kyborg10000, promising to continue the Legacy of Konstanty and his reforms.
