Fuscinivir

The Despotate of Fuscinivir was a short-lived state within Alteniquia. It bordered Yimmu-Audal and the Grizzly Bear territory to the north and east, the Bay of Rhodia to the southeast, Carn to the southwest, and the Ombra Gulf to the northwest, sharing a maritime border with Sironia, Carvay, and Astana. The official language was Classical (Sironian) Sagaviri.

History in the region began with the formation of the Kingdom of Ataria, a Sagaviri nation founded by the Prophet Ataron. Before and during this period, all of Fuscinivir was inhabited by diverse tribes with unique cultures, with the first unified nation being the Sakrelist Ataria. After the fall of Ataria, Fuscinivir entered a "Dark Era" with only small duchies controlling various areas, this would be until the Abayril Dynasty conquered the region and created the first city on the site of modern Urnu-Oroyi. This nation lasted for a little over 180 years before it was overthrown by the leaders of the immensely rich and powerful trading port of Thasir, who established the Serene Republic of the Inrethir. This short-lived state looked to become a major regional power, but was overwhelmed by a massive migration of Syltörean peoples, who became the majority of the local population and created the nation of Fuscinia. The Fuscinian regime would last in relative peace, but was slowly integrated into the Empire of Yimmu-Audal and eventually the nation crumbled into Audalad servitude. During and after the Sironian Civil War, a refugee crisis engulfed the region as Sironians migrated to live in what has become the modern Fuscinivir region. Eventually, they became such a dominant group that almost all other cultures in the area were wiped out, with the notable exception of the Audalad who lived in Urnu-Oroyi.

This dominance upset the Audalad government, and senior officials plotted to block upward mobility of the Sironians, contain their leaders (mainly Joe Frank Kennedy and Liraxak) and attempt to assimilate and cleanse them from much of their land. This was largely unsuccessful due to intervention of the Archonate of Theionikos, but alienated the Fusciniviri (as they are now known) and invited the Aldoviri Empire to take a stance against the recently created Soleà-Audal Union. Tensions rose quickly after the Union adopted Soleannen as its official faith, and after the Audalad resettled Urnu-Amsu (now called Urnu-Aufei) without permission of the Sironian Count of Abayril, the stage was set for the conflict that would unfold. Joe Frank Kennedy attempted to mediate with the Audalad government, but was unexpectedly dismissed and forced to return to Noukouthak. Kennedy hastily hatched a plan with Liraxak, and Jabberdrake, Bowph, and Drachenstien of Aldovir to seced from Yimmu-Audal, re-establishing the ancient nation of Fuscinia. However, as the Fuscinians had disappeared and been replaced with Sironians, the name was altered accordingly. Soon after, the nation faced war with the vast Audalad Empire. Due to Liraxak’s influence, the elite terrorist group the SNLF effectively had full control of the nation. However, he was willing to work with Supreme Leader Joe Frank Kennedy, and they decided to join Aldovir as an imperial territory, instated the SNLF the offical paramilitary, and began preparations for an offensive war against Yimmu-Audal, as they were now part of the most powerful nation on Rathnir. While Joe Frank Kennedy was officially the sole leader, Liraxak, as General of the SNLF, could have been considered a diarch of the state until his death.
