Tars

A city state on the northeastern coast of Auona, Tars was founded by various Arta Xorti and Opulensi peoples either fleeing from the Epichirisi-dominated Opulensi Empire and it's sometime ally the Nahari Empire (later the Dual Empire), or those running towards the great profits of Leun and the Indigo Gate. As a member of the Eastern League, Tars was somewhat secure due to the balance of power that existed in the region. It was, in fact, one of the stronger members. Pulchas, a Tarsite colony on Spitos, and Serkos, another colony on Auona, represent the relative strength of Tars within the Eastern League. Indeed, at its peak, Tars challenged New Kalos for the leadership of the League on several occasions.  However, a Leunan-Opulensi agreement opened the way for conquest. The Opulensi later fell to invasion and civil war, and Tars was "liberated" by Farea. When Leun closed the Indigo Gate, Tars was one of the cities granted a limited amount of exemptions. Caught between the Leunan Republic and the Republic of the Daharai during the Opening of the Gate, Tars declared neutrality. With the defeat of the Leun, the Daharai "convinced" them to give up their freedom once more.
