Dun Draigath

The Free States of Dun Draigath
Dun Draigath is a small nation on the East Coast of Central Sparwood, comprised of the Archipillago Islands and a small mainland holding, known as The Bogside.

Early History
Dun Draigath was formed when Kiathe travellers landed on the isle of Pill off the coast of Sparwood in 1675 ASC. These immigrants mingled with Burgamerian and Zrykan natives. It moved for independence as an Iglooist Theocracy known as Iglotia, until a large influx of new, atheist members occured, causing them to seperate the church and state. This change in governance lead to the budding nation renaming to Dun Draigath. Their independence movement continues, until they integrate into the nation of Tovarisha as a region in 1689. This was on the condition that their culture, land and traditions would remain.

Late History
Eventually, Tovarisha collapsed, and Dun Draigath became part of Burgamere. Under Burgamere, their luck took a turn for the worse. The town on Inishgrad, on the Inish Leath peninsula formed its own region, taking swathes of Draigath land with the help of the Burgamerian government. Seeing this as an infringement of their agreement of integration, the Draigath people began to protest.

The Great Famine and Black Age
With the secession of Vodistria, Dun Draigath lost its sacred farming and hunting lands of Clunath. This lead to the Great Famine, in which it lost two thirds of its total population. These bodies can be found in The Catacombs under New Pill. This loss lead to the Black Age. In this time, the streets of New Pill were barren, and the crops withered. The city eventually became overgrown, and it seemed Dun Draigath's time was over.

Independence
Then, the Revolutionary Army of The Black Rose, or RABR, returned to their home of Dun Draigath, and reforged it. This event, known as the Pillan Liquidation, is widely recognized as the beginning of the independence of Dun Draigath. Mere years after their return, in 1746 ASC, Dun Draigath declared independence as the Free States of Dun Draigath, which is currently a region of Valondor.
