Merchant's Guild of Osria

The Merchant's Guild of Osria
The Merchant's Guild of Osria, or Osria for short, was an association of towns in Eldham within Phoros for the intent of strengthening the economical power of the area. The Guild had four member towns: Ancontinople (Owned by Queegharious), Phantalia (Owned by Stumpy), Tatsuyama (Owned by Kenshin), and Gabenberg (Owned by Frederickthebate). The towns of Ancontinople and Phantalia had derived from a group of refugees from the nations of The Minrithian Republic and The Phantom Empire, respectfully. Due to civil strife and fears of governmental retaliation, the two groups had settled nearby each other in Northern Stoneguard, and established a commercial pact with both themselves and the nearby town of Gabenberg across the border into Barbossa, eventually forming a merchant’s guild. Tatsuyama was once a vassal of Ancontinople but had quickly gained its own township as the population expanded. The four towns combined with the neighboring town of Urak to create the nation of Uraki Imperium and the Merchant's Guild of Osria had disbanded.



The Uraki Province of Osria
After the Merchant's Guild disbanded, Osria was formed under Uraka as a province led by a High Prince. The High Prince title has been held down from Stumpy to Queegharious to Kenshin as their ranks had formed around the nation. Gabenberg had not been included within this new province as Frederickthebate had left mysteriously, leaving another town owner to form their own province, Alania. However, the Uraki provincial borders had been drawn after Frederick's retirement. Had Frederick retired after the provincial borders were decided, Alania would have been a part of Osria.

Although there was only one High Prince title for the province, Osria had maintained its triarchy status for the start of its history as most decisions were decided on votes. As Osria progressed and grew in size, a Federal Guild was created to give Osrian citizens the ability to decide on legislation within the province. The Triarchy was formed to be three Guildmasters, and each town leader was appointed as a Guildsmen. The Guildsmen voted on legislation that the Guildmasters could not decide on unanimously.

As the Royal Family of Osria consisting of Queegharious, Kenshin, and Stumpy grew in influence, the three had decided to tie their royal family into the province. Replacing the old Federal Guild system, the three had formed a Royal Council consisting of their family members and their own vassals. Surprisingly, this governmental change had been designed in a way so that no Guildsmen would lose their voting status, merely having their role changed as Councilor if they are not a part of the royal family, or as Royal Council if they have blood relations with the three Guildmasters, now called the Head Councilors. Osria's constitution had been formed alongside this governmental change and explains the system in great detail.

Arthholdic Horde
On the 15th of September of 2021, The Province of Osria has purchased the micronation of Paviledo, as it had previously been a vassal of Xeka. The nation leader of Paviledo at that time, Joe, had contacted Head Councilor Stumpy about the purchase as Joe believed his nation had been neglected by their owners.

After time has passed with Osria's new vassal after Joe resigned, Stumpy reigned in as the primary nation leader of Paviledo until its reformation on the 24th of November of 2021, reforming as the Arthholdic Horde and consolidating its government with the Province of Osria's. With this governmental change came with the new purchase of land from the nation of Taernsbia coinciding with a defensive pact. As Stumpy still has full control over the original Paviledian lands, Arthholds in its entirety is owned by the Royal Family of Osria.

In December of 2021, a squatter nation by the name of the Kingdom of Welvenheiner, took claim of half of Arthholdic land and declared their own sovereignty. With the Royal Land's support, the Arthholdic Horde was able to drive off the squatters before any wars had started. It is rumored that Welvenheiner citizens had all died of starvation during their exodus from Arthholds, as they were not seen again.

The Uraki Province of Guratzo
Guraka was once a piece of land owned by the nation of Barbossa, consisting of deserted towns and a lush forest. After the Valorant War and Barbossan land was annexed to The Uraki Imperium, the land of Guraka was appointed as a High Principality owned by High Prince AresOrion. As Ares had decided to retire soon after his appointment as High Prince, he decided to appoint the former military leader of Barbossa otherwise known as Bloodbeard Philly as the High Prince. With unanimous vote between the Heartlands Lord Protector, as well as all other High Princes in the Heartlands, Philly had been stripped of his title of High Prince and an Osrian by the name of coochieb had been appointed as the new High Prince of Guraka. One of his first decrees was to rename the province to Guratzo.

High Prince coochieb had been noticed to be an excellent leader, being able to create a sprawling metropolis within Guratzo as the former Barbossans neglected to take care of the land.
