Second Kingdom of Varsais

The Second Kingdom of Varsais is a state to the far south, situated on the Varisian Peninsula and bordered to the north by the Templar Confederacy. As a former vassal state of the Empire of Kordowyn, the Kingdom is a member of the Avalonian Confederation. The current monarch is Queen Arienne I of Caestor.
The Second Kingdom was established in August 261, after the expiration of the Treaty of Kordowyn, which disassembled the First Kingdom of Varsais and prohibited a reunification. The Varisian Assembly met in mid-August, and began debating on who to elect as monarch. Initial favorites were Crown Prince Boudewijn of Maereynde and Duke François III of Pyremonde, both of whom hold rightful claims to the Varisian throne, however it was ultimately decided to elect a foreign noble out of fears that if one was elected, the other would attempt to press his claim. These fears came true regardless, however, as before Queen Arienne could arrive in Varsais to be crowned, Duke François III announced his intent to press his claim, as well as the reestablishment of the Varisian monarchy stewed republican sentiment among the Kingdom's younger generations.
