Equis

Equis was the second major settlement formed in Voldrania, inland from Akarv city on the edge of the forest. In 8 AE the settlement moved to follow Akarv's path and form a government in the form of a democracy, led by and named after its founder Charles Equis. Though it took part in the inter-city rail project conducted by Yoren, Equis remained a mostly neutral, isolated city-state, making it a haven for those looking to avoid the drama and pride of the other rising city states. Consequentially, the nation remained neutral in the twenties when the Heran-Tripolian War broke out, opting out of assisting neighbors Akarv and Yoren help rescue Tripoly.
In 39 AE, Equis was approached by the other city-states at the time to help form a council of representative bodies amongst Voldrania, which would be dubbed "The International Council of Voldrania" the following year. Equis continued to spread after this, with its borders now more officially defined.
In 53 AE, upon the election of Adam Pyro in Akarv, a near war situation had begun between Pyro's Akarv and James Jaykays Fallnavor. Then president David Kah of Equis opted to support fellow democracy Akarv, offering assistance should a full scale war break out. The following year, however, David Kah was replaced in power by his son Charles Kah who opted for neutrality, leading to uneasy relations between Akarv and Equis. Kah would remain neutral throughout the near war, and when it came to an end after Jaykays Council plot was revealed, Kah denied any involvement.
In 57 AE Equis was contacted by Eirrosian explorers to partake in an expedition of odd, nether-linked ruins. Equis accepted the offer and was joined by Akarv, Fallnavor and Hera. The ruins further revealed the ongoing Netheran plot, but also housed a mischievous Nether Spirit that was able to possess Equis' envoy, forcing him to kill the Heran envoy's bodyguard. Blaming the Equivians and malicious, the enraged Herans demanded war, which was refused by then-steward Yenklet Lupice, however reluctantly. However not long after, Undek Mag was elected into Hera's leadership over Lupice, and wasted no time in declaring war on Equis. Akarv, Eirros and Fallnavor joined Equis in a multi-national confrontation on the Heran capital Ghernia before war could fully break out, but when they arrived they found Mag dead and a new leader, Inker Poker, taking power.
In 60 AE Voldrania fell, and though most nations collapsed, Equis was able to join Akarv, Tripoly, Tedre and Scavoran in escaping. When the refugees arrived in New Voldrania, Equis was offered a sizeable plot of land amongst the Isles of Jarul.
In 89 AE Equis joined the Northern Empire of Scythia with Krolesk and Ivonskye under the leadership of Brutus Kah, but that experiment collapsed the following year.
