Iksis

The Crown Colony of Iksys is a Kordynian colony in the Far West. 
The Pashayete of Iksis, the government before the Kordynian colonization, was previously unheard of, and it's existence was revealed through the interrogation of captured prisoners from the Action of March 11th 242 and the Battle of Endiolaudika. 
The Hybretians were able to determine it's existence by the revelation that the captured prisoners spoke a language similar to Kygonese and Old Hybrotiaud. As a result, Daelin I declared his belief that Iksis was responsible for the increased pirate active in the Western Reach and declared his intent to seek a punitive action against them, which passed the Generals' Council 28-6.
After attacking Kilmore Quay and sinking the HMS Sunset, the Empire of Kordowyn joined the war on Iksis. On the 14th June, 242, an offensive was launched that resulted in the burning of the Ikisian capitol. Unbeknownst to the allies, the Ikisians had been forced into a Gretian Protectorate 44 years earlier, and the escaping fleet brought the Gretian fleet back in the Battle of the Western Seas.
As part of the Treaty of Dirirabwyn, which ended the Great War, the Gretian protectorate over Iksis was to transfer to the Empire of Kordowyn, who took direct control over the region and established a colonial government. 
== Ancient History ==
The city of Czorchas once was the capital to a large empire with a population believed to have numbered over a million persons, but a series of civil wars, famines, droughts, and disease drove the empire to collapse by 1000BKOR. By the time of Gretian subjugation, the population number 130,000, a number of which immigrated to the core Empire during the period in which Iksis was part of the Empire.
Iksis became the de facto capital of the province, and was the poorest region of the Empire. In order to fund operations and keep up morale, Pasha Ykori had a pirate fleet built and began conducting raids in Eudeon and Avalon, resulting in the Inter-Coastal War. The Battle of Iksis caused severe losses of life in the ensuing months after the burning of the city, and an official census has yet to properly count the people in the two regions of the Crown Colony.
