The Free City of Rodmuthana

The Free City of Rodmuthana was an insurrectionary popular government which governed Rodmuthana in 309 - 311 ABV. It was a rare Vidstossi experiment in non-monarchical forms of government, as the city was ruled by a collective of male freeborn subjects. However, this experiment was badly marred by purges, piracy and lawlessness, and arguably collapsed during The Great Fire of Rodmuthana in the early eight month of 311 ABV. Shortly thereafter, The Battle of Rodmuthana Harbour was fought, and ended with the replacement of the city government with a joint Za'ahene-Veigholmoan occupation government.
== Background ==
In the late 240's, Rodmuth III instilled The Mutilation of the Za'ahenes, a massacre of the 600 Za'ahenes living in Rodmuthana. This massacre caused The First Vidstossi-Za'ahene War, but also created a void in the trade of the Kingdom of the Gates. Rodmuth III solved this by giving the Syannic residents of the Kingdom of the Gates a monopoly of inter-provincial and international trade through the empire (motivating it with that too much excessive trade would degenerate the Vidstossi character), and a vibrant Syannic community was established in both Rodmuthana and Risana. As the years passed by, the Syannic minority became wealthy and could thus buy goods to a low price and sell them to a higher price
The Vidstossi artisans came to largely look on the Syannics with hate, and this fuelled a constant, seeping racial enmity, which however was subdued by the stability and prosperity of the reign of Pelir I. However, as the Second Vidstossi-Za'ahene War (299-307 ABV) was fought, the trade-dependent economy of Rodmuthana took a series of hits. Khazi's death
