Aspeia

Aspeia is a city located in the east coast of the Akratian Peninsula, and is currently the governing capital of the Third Akratian Empire
== History ==
=== Early history ===
After the Tortugan-Lorent war, which proved to be disastrous for the first, many vassals began declaring independence. Meanwhile, the upper Monterre region (which used to be called "Gvaendel") had entered a state of turmoil, due to a rising dispute between the region owner and the locals over religion, which ended up declaring independence.
During this age of utter chaos, a tribe from the north called Lechnians decided to settle in the west coast of the Tarneos lagoon, making their claim in the location of the old Lionore fort used by Samking during the 2nd Lionorian Revolt.
It was at this period that one of the Yavanian high council members made contact with the Lechnians, ending up in the formation of the Yavano-Lechnian commonwealth. After the agreement, both tribes fought in the upcoming rebellion, but ended up losing badly. However this crushing defeat also had some positive effects, as the relations between the Yavanis and Lechnians strenghened, and they were granted an autonomous region. Aspeia saw a slow and steady rise after these events, as well as an expansion to the west, since Gvaendel region owner left, prompting the Lechnian leader to buy the region for 200k$.
=== Integration into Monterre ===
A proposal made by Tron, was made for Tarneos and it's citizens to join the Monterre region, ended up being accepted, thus leading to closer relations with Kibbutz and Instour. Aspeia enjoyed peace under Monterran rule and lots of trade deals took place between Tron and Ayedren.
However, a storm was brewing in the lands to the east, as a misunderstanding between Tortuga and Valondor took place over the ownership of Valondori lands, leading the high council of Valondor to declare war. Many regions ended up joining them, and this brought division upon the people of Monterre, which ended up with the eventual split between Tarneos and Monterre, due to the first ending up joining the freedom fighters.
Suddenly, many regions ended up switching sides and rejoining Tortuga, and a decisive battle was fought in Rosa, where Tortugans crushed Valondori rebels. All the rebelling regions ended up surrendering, sparing their cities from utter destruction. Aspeia ended up once again under Monterre, with the condition the the Tarneos region would be disbanded and all other related discords deleted.
== Foreign Relations ==
Aspeia has strong ties with Yavanistan, since the formation of the commonwealth and the willingness of both side to further cement the union.
The relations between Nair and Aspeia were non-existent, until the region of Tarneos was granted the town, which came under the Possession of a Lechnian called TheRealSherpa. After the Valondor revolt, relations were maintained due to the continuing governorship of TheRealSherpa but strained as pressure to give up the town was applied during the Treaty of Instour.
Relations between Instour and Aspeia can be described as good, as both current leaders are quite fond of each other, and engage in frequent trading.
