Auxillian Decrees

For sometime, Imperial settlers have colonized the southern plains of Hylthia. Due to the instability brought on by Stormfall, these settlements were never officially integrated into the Imperial Colonies. After Governor Auxilium Damian took power of the Imperial Colonies, he sought to rein in these settlements and issued the Auxillian Decrees which called all leaders of the Hylthian settlements to travel to Pomariames and swear loyalty to the governor. Further they called for a full census of all the settlements of Hylthia and the installation of magisters sent from Pomariames to oversee the creation of new provinces to effectively govern the southern plains of Hylthia.
The once humble farming communes had grown into towns and even cities however and the frontier life, fighting Lizardfolk, beasts and monsters had created a distinct culture and instilled a strong sense of autonomy in the settlers. As such most of the Hylthian settlements, while not declaring independence from the Imperial Colonies rejected the Auxillian Decrees and called for negotiations.
Upon the rejection of the Decrees, Governor Auxilium Damian sent his legions, to enforce the Auxillian Decrees starting the War of Rectification.
