Preyella

"Aristios may have fallen, but its dreams and people shall prosper under our Preyellan sun!"

- -George Caticus II, upon the creation of Preyella

The Kingdom of Preyella (Kratoria en Preyellios in high Aristii), is one of the three Aristii splinter state along Olea and Katolis. The kingdom became independent after Aristios split apart after the battle of Akirashalam and the death of Otto en Olea but has been a province of the defunct empire since Queen Lys (also called Valerie) gave away her kingdom to Otto in the hope of seeing her land flourish under a new leadership.

Valérie's Preyella
The first kingdom of Preyella (back then called Preyllea) was founded by Valerie, an immigrant from Rathnir coming to Eldham with the hope of rebuilding her prestige and power after she was stripped of all her titles in her native kingdom of Viodoxa. She and her, at the time, boyfriend Smudge Canalopin would buy some land out of the Regnum Drakaes.

The couple would rule for a few months, until the combination of a border dispute with KWEC, a rathnir colony and ally of the empire of Aristios and her decaying health forced her to sell her land to the highest bidder... Or so it appeared that way. While officially her lands were bought by Aristios, her personal liking and trust in Otto's abilities to make the land grow under his rule made her take the decision of giving her land for free to the Aristii. Valerie would go back to Rathnir were she came from, and would finish her days on the old continent.

Province of Preyella (Aristios)
After Valerie left for Rathnir, the lands of Preyella became a province under Aristios, while the records of who was once governor of the province have been lost to time, the province was not particularly populated nor active, its capital of Pertonia would serve as the only decently sized city in the entire province, and the province and its resources would remain under utilized.

Preyella would declare neutrality in the Aristii civil war, but imperial remnants claim that Preyella was pro empire.

After the civil war, Preyella would become a part of the Republic of Aristios but would be renamed the greater province of Katuysha. Beside that, nothing notable happened to the Province.

Preyella in the IPA
Following the decline of the Second Kingdom of Aristios under Azriel, Preyella (or what was still under aristii control) rose up with the rest of the imperial provinces or Aristios (IPA) against the ratican and their annexation of the now defunct kingdom. Many famous Aristii would come back to help defend their land, one of them was George Caticus, who would be appointed governor of Preyella.

The new governor would show great skill of leadership and would bring fresh air to the province. He would unite the cities of the region against the rat and lead the preyellans among other Aristii in the battle of Akirashalam. The battle would result to the Second Treaty of Perdin, securing IPA independence. This victory however, would be short lived.

Death of Otto and Independant Preyella
While the battle was won, Otto was seriously injured, and would not live long upon his return from the battlefield. Upon his death, the three most prominent leaders of the IPA would split their lands to avoid a power struggle. Hessel en Gallisti would create the kingdom of Olea (who would be ruled by Wize en olea later on), Katolis would be ruled by Luka en Olea and finally, George Caticus would create the Kingdom of Preyella, and has been its sole ruler since.

Political system of Preyella
The political system of Preyella is a very hierarchical one. It posses almost no democratic element and rely on the sole competence of the ruling class to ensure the well being of the nation. Said ruling class is composed of many different titles and ranks to make sure every needs of the nation are fulfilled. Those ranks are :

Kratosdra: Mayor who represent a town and its citizens to the upper echelons of the government, they are usually appointed by a governor or the King himself.

 Ioskra : Governor of a province of Preyella, they ensure cooperation between Kratosdra under them and represent their province to the Kratoras. they are almost always directly appointed by the Kratoras

 Venikos : The generals of the nation, they train and lead the army into battle, they are always appointed by the Kratoras, although a highly skilled individual will always take precedence over the others, even if member of the House of Caticus.

 Diarvsra : Leader of a ministry, such as infrastructure or culture. They are always appointed by the Kratoras and have the duty to advise and take charge of the missions given to their ministry.

 The high council : Council of high class citizens appointed by the Kratoras, the power the council posses is currently unknown, since the council has never been summoned nor does any citizens sit in it as of writing.

 Kratoras : King of Preyella, upon the death of the current Kratoras, the oldest living child of the deceased monarch will become the new Kratoras. the current Kratoras is George Caticus II and his heir apparent is Deeceezious Caticus II

It should be noted that nothing forbid someone to hold multiple positions at a time, meaning someone can be, for exemple, a Kratosdra, a Ioskra and a Diarvsra at the same time (like Killer Utter).

Preyella also posses three tiers of citizenship which are :

 Lower class citizens : They are new citizens who have yet to prove their worth to the Kratoras or important member of the government. They have almost no say in the running of the country, and are usually forbidden to even talk to the Kratoras

 Middle class citizens : They are citizens who have proven their worth and deserve to be called a true Preyellan patriot. Unlike the lower classes, they can hold lower government positions (such as Kratosdra) and have some sway on local politics. They are the most prominent social class in Preyella

High class citizens : They are the best of the best citizens Preyella has to offer. High class citizens have demonstrated their abilities to rule or take care of important issues, they can hold higher government positions and can sit on the high council. Only the Kratoras and its council have the right to give someone this tier of citizenship.
