Marsea

Marsea was a city located on the island of Yadir, in Nikephoros Bay. From 184 TE to 258 TE the city was the only settlement in the Kingdom of Creed with a human majority and also the only non-Soleannen community.

Golden age
The city was founded in 184 TE by Folded Kal-Lir and the Hellic people on the ruins of Bohema, a city abandoned by its inhabitants. Under his command the island experienced its golden age, which began with the construction of the fortress in the administrative area and the city walls across the entire island. Thus making the island the defensive bastion of the surrounding cities.

The entire port and living area was renovated and during the works the books of the old inhabitants were found where they wrote down all their knowledge about distillation. In a short time the skill of alcohol production was assimilated, leading the city to be one of the largest producers of Creed. The Hellic people also brought the Ennaist faith to the city which became the only religion professed by the inhabitants.

In the summer of 211 TE, the government of Creed declared itself independent from the Simulami Empire, causing an internal split in the Kingdom of Creed itself: those loyal to Simulami called Loyalists, and those who supported independence called the Independentists. Folded Kal-Lir decided that Marsea should remain neutral, despite having received the offer from the Emperor of Simulami to become lord of the imperial province of Creed if they sided with the Loyalists.

Decline period
The independence of Creed is achieved, but there is not even time to be happy that in 217 TE the city is hit by a great tragedy, the vice-mayor Alexandros Sidero is now on the verge of dying due to tetanus, rumors say that it was Creed's own government that infected him because he was considered a dangerous person for their plans of dubious righteousness. A few days later Alexandros passed away, after the funeral, his son Alexios together with a part of the Hellic people left towards Eldham.

A few years later some ships appeared at the port, Folded immediately recognized the flag of the old inhabitants of the city, he welcomed them immediately, giving them supplies and homes. He still didn't know that this would be the beginning of the end of Marsea.

Rebellion of Yadir
Also called the Winter Revolution because it occurred during the winter of 257 and the spring of 258 TE, the rebellion marked the end of the city of Marsea. The rebellion was caused by various factors: first of all, the city guard had discovered a plot by the Bohemians to replace the mayor, and this caused their expulsion from the island. The national government, instead of punishing the criminals they welcomed them as victims and instead they punished the city that defended its own safety.

The second event that caused the rebellion was the arrival in Yadir of Nikolao Sidero, the son of Alexios, he and his men came to the city to offer their services to Folded Kal-Lir. In the autumn of 257 TE Folded could no longer tolerate the government's behavior, so he asked Nikolao for a ship to go to the Haven to Alexios. Along with Folded his family departed, before leaving he gave the command of the island to Nikolao. Nikolao waited a week before starting the rebellion so that there were no problems for the safety of Folded, so on November 20, 257 TE Nikolao declared himself king of the island, and created to the Kingdom of Yadir, despite knowing in his heart that the city ​​would not last long.

In the following months a naval blockade occurred around the island, and on the morning of March 2, 258 TE the final battle occurred. During the battle the Hellics soldiers sang Noxist songs to raise the morale of the army, the battle ended at sunset, the prisoners were sent to work in the Soleannen mines, a few months later they fled to the Haven after a riot. After the rebellion of Yadir the island was entrusted to the expelled Bohemians.
