Cheidia

A city state on the northwestern tip of Auona, Cheidia 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, Cheidia was somewhat secure due to the balance of power that existed in the region. However, a Leunan-Opulensi agreement opened the way for conquest. The Opulensi later fell to invasion and civil war, and Cheidia was "liberated" by Farea. When Leun closed the Indigo Gate, Cheidia became one of Leun's favored city-states. In exchange for aiding Leun in patroling the Leunan Sea for smugglers (like those Serkos attempted to harbor), they were given a large amount of exemptions and favorable agreements, second only to Parthe. Caught between the Leunan Republic and the Republic of the Daharai during the Opening of the Gate, Cheidia controversially declared neutrality. As one of Leun's closest allies, some view this as a grave betrayal, while others saw this as a sensible act of poltiics. Whatever the case, with the defeat of the Leun, the Daharai "convinced" them to give up their freedom once more.
