Akratia

Overview
Akratia is a sprawling city on western part of the Sparwood. It was established on October 4th, by Akratians migrant in search of their promised land.

The city is full of history and also the homeland of the Akratian people, one can find there many old buildings, important in the Akratian culture ( The Black Citadel, The Castle of the dishonored ), just like the witnesses of the transition of the city towards a new era, an industrial era.

Akratia was now the capital of the now dissolved United Akratian Empire.

Location :
Akratia is situated on the continent of Sparwood, in the Southern part of the Eok plains. The city is positioned on the banks of the Ekara river and in the valley of the same name. Its strategic location allowed it to grow and expand rapidly.



The Foundation :
Akratia was founded by Magis migrant who arrived there thousand of years ago, when they settled in the valley of Ekara ( the new home ), sometime after arriving their guide, the incarnation of their god died.

The Akratian Oligarchy :
At this moment the most important families of the community come together and decide on the way forward for the future of their people. Later these families will scattered across the plains, some remaining at Akratia, others creating powerful Kingdoms, thus these families form what was called the Akratian Oligarchy.

The city is filled with the marks of the powers of these families and factions.

The United Empire :
When Emperor Neoz rose to power, he renovated the old castle of Arkosa ( the seat of power of the old oligarchy ) in his own fortified palace The Black Citadel. During Emperor Neoz’s time as the emperor, many of the nations infrastructure was neglected, and an embarrassment by the people. The great Capital looked like a small village on the edges of some forgettable town. Many of Emperor Neoz’s goals where to conquer all of west sparwood, never stopping to let his citizens build up, although the great, and still unfinished citadel said other wise.

The Akratia Civil War:

During the conquests of Emperor Neoz, the “wise” emperor took the lands of Leythe, by paying for them. The issue with this, is that the town of leythe, and it’s surrounding areas, did not agree to said trade. Now this at first was not a civil war, but Neoz heavily thought that these new civilians were rebels, nothing more, and planned to do… something. The city of leythe actually did have weaknesses, some that General Yazov found. The war could soon be over, but the emperor decided that the ultimate decision was to construct a large fort right next to leythe’s walls; ignoring his general in the process.

The greater section of this civil war was ultimately caused by Neoz and his own action during the conflicts of leythe. The cities of Emerald Isle, Instour, Greenstem, and others of the cause, left the nation as Emperor Neoz ignored his people. Ignoring his general, his own nobles, his own governor’s, and his people, who all outcried to stop the war. The Emperor though, gave dull speeches of unity, and how he planned to take down the rebels. Although this was nullified and dulled; for by the time the town of Instour left, Akratia had lost a battle with the people of leythe.

“The rebellion” - as it was called by Neoz - had tired peacefully to stop the war. So to clarify, it was a combination of his own people, high ranking officials, other nations at this point, and the rebellion sparking due to his own action. At this point, barely anyone wanted to continue the war, but Neoz pushed on, and what happened to the “Great Emperor of Akratia”? He died. Yep, that’s the story, he died. Of sadness….

The Rule of Emperor Dmitry; the King of Sparwood’s peace:

Following the death of Emperor Neoz, General Yazov took to power, taking the power in that nation. (To be Continued)
