Arritas

The County of Ayesinco is one of 4 Counties of The Archonate of Theionikos, alongside Theotikos, Auraion and Gebel. Ayesinco is ruled by a Tetrarch, with the capital in Ayesinco City. It is the most Culturally diverse County in Theionikos.

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.

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.
