== History ==
=== Early history ===
Aplia was the first Las Viden town in the area. It was founded on the mountains, as a small outpost to occupy the area until more emphasis could be put on expansion. Eventually Stonehaven’s Keep was built to the west of Aplia. Aplia continued to be a small mountain community and grew into a holy site for Atarism. Aplia stayed fairly small during its time in Las Vides, and it stayed further tied to San Sventisimo than the Las Viden federal government. For a time it was used to store Sventisimo valuabes. Aplia existed with a fairly small footprint and went largely unnoticed until the Las Vides Schism, where it separated territorially from the rest of San Sventisimo and would prove a thorn in Las Vides' side, preventing full Las Viden control of the area.
=== Las Viden Schism ===
Following San Sventisimo's separation from Las Vides, Aplia was among the towns that followed. San Sventisimo soon joined Gertek, later Maravilla, while Aplia part of the San Sventisimo province despite being territorially blocked by Las Vides. During this period, Aplia was rather isolated and began growing its own identity. It also developed off of the mountain and became more reliant on farming, both exporting and feeding its own people. Once the tension with Las Vides sided, Aplia reconnected with the rest of San Sventisimo.
Aplia reconnected with San Sventisimo and increased agricultural exports throughout the State. It was around this point that a newcomer named Mimi had opened up a melon business in San Sventisimo. This soon grew into a full blown monopoly on the agricultural center. Aplian farmers petitioned the Sventisimo state government but no agreement was met. Several years after the monopoly was established, the old armory of San Sventisimo was hit by an explosion.
=== Sventisimo Civil Conflict ===
Suspecting the perpetrator was operating out of the Lanes (a homeless community in San Sventisimo city), the Sventisimo city government and sheriff Void set an explosive booby trap in the Lanes. After going off, it was only able to kill an innocent old man. The next day, two more explosions occurred hitting the newer armory and the castle. The city was promptly put into lockdown and by now Aplians were suspected.
Following thism many Aplians and Lanes residents appeared outside of the Mimi Manor, with their now leader Pablo Jamon. A few days after this protest, King Sven was later nearly hit with an arrow, a paper attached to which depicted a melon pierced with arrows. Mimi's manor in Golden Grain county was promptly secured by the city's defense, with Mimi taking refuge there under armed guard. After a brief period of quiet, the manor was swiftly attacked by Aplian guerilla fighters, whose exceptional archery pinned down the guards within the manor. The guards within were able to make a retreat into the city, however Mimi was captured. The Aplians pursued the retreating guards and fighting in the streets began. The Aplian archery pushed the Sventisimo guards into the castle. It was only then, where the bows were unable to be used that the guards were able to hold off the Aplians.
After bloody hand-to-hand combat, the Aplians returned to the Mimi Manor to execute Mimi and the guards did not pursue. Mimi was promptly executed and her monopoly ended in . Following the conflict, the Aplians returned to Aplia and over time things became largely as usual. A couple highways were built between Aplia and San Sventisimo
