New Assuwas

**New Assuwas** was a federation of colonies that thrived in the Second Age. It lies between Assuwas and Walkorudur to the north, within the Paharal Jungle to the north and east of the **Kingdom of Prumthesan**, and the kingdom of Aute and the Pelgir realms to the south.

## History

While the Assuwelli colonised the north and east, warlords and generals were sent by the Emperors of Assuwas to subjugate the natives. The threat of slavery and torture alarmed the Auteans to the south, prompting them to form their own kingdom, preventing the Emperors from send armies to invade the far south.

When the Kingdom of Assuwas collapsed due to alien invasion, the tribes of the Paharal Jungle fought both the alien invaders and against Assuwelli colonies to conquer them. Inspired by the success of their Autean allies, forty free and liberated tribes formed their own alliance, "Prumthesan". They managed to successfully conquer more Assuwelli colonies after utilising technology left behind by earlier Anevondir raiders. They were aided by Bariwas, who was angered by the Assuwelli invasion of the native kingdoms: he not only taught them to build more Celestial weaponry, but together with several advisors (who suggested it first), he suggested the kings not to become as cruel as the Assuwelli.

Within a week, the Prumthesankhe warriors were right next to the city of New Assuwas, their cannons aimed at the walls. One of the kings, Snetha, told the leaders of New Assuwas to return their lost belongings, but before one of the warlords was about to shoot him dead, Bariwas intervened and killed the warlord. He caused the Regent of New Assuwas to appear before the kings, who tied him up as a prisoner, and threatened to burn New Assuwas. Fearing that this will lead to an early Celestial invasion, the leaders of New Assuwas approached the forty kings and returned the enslaved natives back to their peoples, agreeing to return what they had plundered back to the natives and recognise their independence. The resulting treaty was known as the Treaty of Paivo, after the native name for New Assuwelli capital, and once the last plunder and land was returned to Prumthesan, only then did the Prumthesankhe establish relations with the Assuwelli after many years of war. With a seal and a band issued by guards between the borders, people from the two kingdoms were allowed to cross into each other.

As for Walkorudur, the natives were friendly towards the Walkorudurilli because they supported the former in retaking their homeland.

## Geography

* New Assuwas (Assuwas Newan) - a fortress built by a party of humans who worked together with the Star of Erzesas, after fighting off bandit attacks. It later became the capital of the federation of the same name, with nearly all the colonies swearing allegiance to the Regent in place of the lost imperial dynasty.
	+ Its native name in Thoiran was Paivo.
	+ With the division of Thoira Province, New Assuwas is now a border town.
* Thoira Province/Zoiras Province - the province around New Assuwas. Under the Treaty of Thoira, it was split into west (ruled by Prumthesankhe) and east (ruled by Assuwelli).
* Wezuras River
* The King's Road - a large road along the eastern coast
* Aikez - a trading city in the east managed by a native duke along the King's Road.
* Sēla - a large city in the west
* Karolli - this was Andezas' hometown.
* Pehhurinkai - this was Ellaras' hometown.
* Kūrortoraz - this was Aumoriksas' hometown.
	+ Temple of Thunder
* Dandil Region - a southern region.
* Naugar - a southerly town.
* Gurson, Hendas, Meritas - three towns along the southwards border to Aute.
	+ Under the Treaty of Paivo, Meritas was a condominium between New Assuwas and Prumthesan, allowing ships from both nations to freely use the port, traverse the Wezuras River, and enter the sea. Most Meritasilli are of Jurumit descent.
* Glotorantin - a Pelgir kingdom to the southwest.
* Jurumit - a native tribe along the eastern coast. They were among the few tribes that were spared from slavery because they were almost assimilated into Assuwelli culture. When Assuwas fell to alien invaders, the Jurumits chose to remain as part of New Assuwas, but they helped their Prumthesankhe relatives to reclaim their homeland by sending warriors to fight for Prumthesan.

## The Kingdom of Prumthesan

This country is located to the south of New Assuwas. It is ruled by forty tribes, each of which was ruled by a chief who made himself as a king.

Anything from Prumthesan should be known as "Prumthesanak" and anyone from Prumthesan should be known as "Prumthesankhe".
