Past Counts/Goverment
Ayesinco is the most interesting county of Theiónikos, having the most active Council and being the most culturally diverse, In its almost 2 Year History there has been a lot of counts...

List of Notable Tétrarchae:

 * First Tétrarch of Ayesinco was the Founder "Architecture2" founding Ayesinco City and being the main Cartographer of "Theios-Essukdal".
 * Segelion was one of Ayesinco's Tétrarchae for that lasted a long time.
 * Desif Farenkir-Kanadith (IGN: JoeFrankKennedy) was the first controversial count and public figure in the County. After ruling in relative peace for two months, Desif grew dissatisfied with Yimmu-Audal and revolted with Aldoviri support in his territory of Fuscinivir, sparking the conflict that would eventually be called the Fuscinivir War. When Desif was ousted from his posistion after refusing to negotiate peace, there was no count as the war raged on. After the war ended, DMT_Useless became the count, expanding the Ministry of Industry and allowing Desif to keep his city of Noukouthak under separate governance.
 * Vasil Galus, the current Tétrach of Ayesinco County, is also the adoptive brother of the Árkohn Círan'dir Galus. Before being adopted into the Galus family, Vasil's exact heritage is not recorded by conventional methods, however oral word is that he the descendant of Telicon, a pseudo-historical or legendary founding father of the city of Carrotona and the first prophet of the local religion of Timism. For the longest time, Vasil himself was both the political and religious leader of the Timion people. After the Fuscinivir War, however, diplomatic and cultural relations between Timilon and its neighbors became uneasy. In fact, Timilon—for a time—was independent and with none other than Vasil as its leader. However, after many years of tension, thanks to friendly diplomatic relations, Vasil and the Galus family grew a special connection. Sometime after the collapse of the Astlylan Empire and the reformation of Yimmu-Audal, Vasil was welcomed into the family as a member. Since then most if not all adherents to Timism have assilimated into Theioism.

Founding
Ayesinco was founded by some Geshemi Sailors in early days of the Traveler's Era and became part of the Sovereign State of Theionikos. It was mainly peaceful with Timists making a settlement of Carrotona and Sironian refugees founding the fishing town of Pasouthak during the Sironian Civil War. Due to this, Ayesinco became a multicultural County. Firmer leadership was required in the county as each culture had strong national identities and arguments over local rights often broke out.

Ayesinco City was built on top of the ancient village of Arryn, which was created by some Geshemi Sailors settling on The Arritas Peninsula, not long after it was abandoned. The Peninsula stayed uninhabited for a long time. Ayesinco was founded by Immigrates from Amos during the First Empire of Yimmu-Audal, specifically Architecture2.

Development during the Second Empire
Ayesinco was an inactive territory in the far west of Yimmu-Audal for much of its early history, but after the formation of the Second Empire of Yimmu-Audal, new settlers arrived in Ayesinco to revitalise the city, and other groups began to find the land more appealing. Soon after this rebirth began, Timists settled the city of Carrotona to the east of Ayesinco city, and Sironian refugees fleeing the Civil War in their homeland founded the town of Pasouthak to the west of Ayesinco city. Over time, Ayesinco once again fell into inactivity as Pasouthak and Carrotona grew, both peaking at around 15-20 people each. When the Count Segellion retired, local Sironian Joe Frank Kennedy was chosen by Archon Lethalmuffin to become the new Count. Kennedy respected the position during his early reign, but mainly used it to increase his power and fund the creation of new Sironian settlements, with Noukouthak being created during this time. Kennedy severely disliked the government of YA during this period and when Ythar II returned to Aldovir, Kennedy found his loyalties being split.

During the Aldovir - YA War
Eventually, the leadership of Aldovir approached Kennedy with an offer: break away from YA and create a nation of Sironians from its southwestern territories, seek to join Aldovir and become part of the Small Council. Kennedy named the nation Fuscinivir and used dubious claims of oppression and racism to garner support among local Sironians. In the end, only about 50% of Sironians in YA actually supported the new state, but Aldovir immediately recognised its independence and mobilised to defend it from YA's declaration of war not long after.

It was during this time, Vasil, the leader of Carrotona, saw an opportunity to assist the war efforts by settling two pieces of abandoned land just north of Noukouthak. The first piece of land was part of large farming village known as Siwa Farm. The second was the small remains of an old fishing village that was alongside a river that cut through both pieces of land. This new settlement was named Swiliana in honor of Siwa Farm, with the aim to provide for the war effort as the farming village before it provided for its community. Deston Zilfinano, a respected citizen of Carrotona and a trusted advisor to Vasil, was appointed as the leader of Swiliana. This settlement was given the official approval by the Yimmu-Audal Emperor himself. Despite this, of course, Desif Farenkir-Kanadith was outraged and claimed the settlement went against the de jure extent of his territory and made various attempts to kick out the members of the new settlement and "take back" the land. However, he never was truly successful in this, only being able to create a few short-lived treaties that temporally prevented the further expansion of Swiliana's territory.

After the end of the conflict, Swiliana and Carrotona united to create Timilon which gained a partial degree of independence and self-governance from the Archonate. However, after improving relationships with its neighbors (besides Noukouthak), Timilon was renamed to Verinar and adopted most of traditions of Ayesinco as well as Theioniki culture. Finally, most—if not all—Timions converted to Theioism. In most regards, however, Timism was already a similar religion to Theioism, with some credence being given to the fact that Timism was a cultural intreption of the Theio-Sakrelist religion infused with a unique set of their own beliefs and history.

Religion and Culture
Ayesinco's main religion is Theiosism. Significant Timist and Sakrelist minorities exist, due to settlement of Timist and Sironian peoples respectively. This has not always been the case, as during the First Empire of Yimmu-Audal and Theios-Essukdal only Theiosists lived within the county, with the cultural centre being Ayesinco City. Later on, Timists immigrated and created Timilon, centred around Carrotona City, and Sironians sought refuge within the county, the main centre being Pasouthak, but eventually all moving to Noukouthak.
