Loeur

== Background ==
=== Founding ===
The people of Loeur, led by Xero d'Orange, originated from the town of Petroit in Savernia. Xero d'Orange was the son of the wealthy merchant family d'Orange who lived in Petroit. While Petroit had no formal ruler, as the town grew, and with the younger d'Orange being in a natural position of influence given his family's wealth and significance, he became the town's representative, village chief, and overall fixer-upper. But one big reason why the tight knit community rallied around Xero d'Orange was because of his charisma, sharp intuition, innovativeness, and collected rationality - it seemed anything could be possible and was accomplished under his keen eye. Xero's parents continued with their merchant work, while Xero himself gradually assumed the mantle of statemanship. 
Petroit later lay abandoned. The people of Petroit were found in a town named Chenefeld on Aldovir. There are 2 major factors for this migration that are well accepted. Firstly, Xero d'Orange's increasing desire for independence from the constraints of his family life meant that he wished to start afresh, with new perspective and vigour, away from the cloying stability of the family home environment and the expectations of his parents.
Secondly, but most importantly, Xero had started to disagree with the ideals of the Savernian government. Petroit, with its more enlightened population, chafed against the state religion. The political climate got more autocratic. The people of Petroit were losing faith in their future.
The people of Petroit migrated to a piece of land west of Lestria, and named the town Chenefeld after the plentiful oak trees on the rolling hills.
== History ==
Following the Carn Peace Treaty, Chenefeld's jurisdiction was legitimised and expanded. The town of Chenefeld was renamed to Chenot.
Its people retained their Laumonte cultural roots - their language, ways of life, music and architecture. And thus, as the war between Laumont and the Haven waged on in a defense agaisnt ethnic cleansing and oppression, resulting Chenefeld's citizens increasing ethnic pride and identification with Lautine culture, Chenefeld decided to give its culture with Lautine roots a name - Loeur, and renamed itself to Loeur in a show of solidarity with all who share Lautine culture.
Chenefeld changed its name to Loeur, to reflect its citizens increasing ethnic pride and identification with Lautine culture.
