Amphictony of Aulea

The Amphictony of Aulea (meaning a 'league of neighbours') is an eternal alliance between the twelve most prominent Iskuzai city-states of Askedoria. It is named after the island of Aulea where it was formed and which serves as its ceremonial and religious centre as well as a gathering place for its members. The Amphictony guarantees peace between the previously quarrelling tribes and cities of the Iskuzai. All member states of the league are prohibited from attacking each other and are compelled to provide military aid to the city of Aulea - which is the only city to not maintain a standing army - in times of need. The Iskuzai leaders who were unwilling to join the Amphictony where quickly branded as outcasts and became pirates.
== History ==
The Amphictony of Aulea was founded right in the aftermath of the Iskuzai conquest of Askedoria. The Iskuzai people consisted of three main tribes - the Arpoxais, Lipoxais, and Colaxais - which were each led by four legendary warlords. These twelve so-called 'Warrior Saints' went on to conquer and found twelve powerful city-states. The most prominent among them was King Auleo the Cartographer, who had led the Iskuzai horde south across the Acmonides range and into Askedoria. To prevent his conquered realm from fracturing he devised a perpetual peace treaty among the Iskuzai leaders.
