## History

### Founding and Revolution

The Revolutionary Assembly of Uxbledon emerged as a response to the growing discontent among Southambian inhabitants with the government of Terra Sancta. In the early 338AC, a group of dissatisfied members, primarily from the republican faction of the Provincial Assembly of Uxbledon, came together to voice their grievances and advocate for change. These individuals sought to address issues such as political representation, cultural autonomy, and economic disparities that had fuelled tensions in the region.

With the onset of the Southambian Revolution in 339AC, the Revolutionary Assembly of Uxbledon quickly gained prominence. As the social and political landscape of Southambia shifted, the assembly's calls for change and independence resonated with a broader population. Their demand for greater self-governance and recognition of Southambian identity attracted support from various segments of society. As the Southambian Revolution gained momentum, smaller and less influential factions with shared grievances began aligning themselves with the Revolutionary Assembly. This alliance-building aimed to consolidate efforts and leverage a collective voice against the government of Terra Sancta. As these factions joined forces, the Revolutionary Assembly evolved into a heterogeneous coalition with diverse ideological backgrounds.

Under the leadership of the Revolutionary Assembly, a sense of unity emerged among various factions that were originally disparate. The assembly provided a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and coordinated actions aimed at achieving the shared goal of Southambian independence. This unity played a pivotal role in the assembly's ability to gather widespread support and mobilize resources. However, as the Revolutionary Assembly grew in influence and became the dominant Southambian nationalist faction, the ideological diversity within the assembly became more pronounced. Members brought varying perspectives, ranging from differing visions of governance and societal values to religious beliefs and attitudes toward the role of the divine in governance.

The pivotal moment came with the inauguration of the covenant between the Southambians and the All. This event marked a turning point, as a theocratic faction emerged within the Revolutionary Assembly, advocating for a government centred around the principles and authority of the covenant. This faction's beliefs were deeply rooted in religious faith and sought to establish a governance structure aligned with the tenets of the covenant. The emergence of the theocratic faction created a stark ideological division within the Revolutionary Assembly. Those who aligned with the theocratic perspective stood in contrast to members who advocated for a more secular approach to governance and independence. This division highlighted the complexities of integrating diverse ideological viewpoints within a single movement.
