## History

### Founding of the Dukedom

The nobles easily betrayed the Trystovy Kingdom in the coup d’etat.

### Trystovy Civil War

The civil war in Trystovy Dukedom broke out around eight years ago. There was the royalist faction that tried to take back the monarchical system like in the past, and the archduke faction that had obtained the authority. And then the independent merchants were also involved in the conflict with their own faction.

#### **Battle of Mulberry**

The Trystovy dukedom’s military invasion to Mulberry was led by the commander-in-chief Cesare. The expedition to Mulberry has a number of 45000 troops that consist of thirty thousands from Millianna and other soldiers from nobles along the way.

#### **Surprise Attack of Riga**

The Sanjuan fleet’s surprise attack to the stronghold of the dukedom naval base would be called as Surprise Attack of Riga. Half of the port was destroyed and it shocked the whole world.

#### **Battle of Continerri**

The Battle of Continerri would be considered as a battle that left serious wound to both armies and its curtain was closed with victory at the kingdom’s side.

Sylva was forced to retreat.

Olten was ordered by the archduke to retreat because of Bernardi's assassination.

### Dukedom's Downfall

The death of the crown prince caused a fracture to the dukedom's unity. It caused the archduke filled with paranoia about betrayals, the betrayal of his best friend Spinoza Fiorentina escalated his paranoia even further.

#### **Battle of Millianna**

Olten was killed in combat by Ramillies.

Valerie was killed by August Garibaldi.

Jack was captured.

## Population

Trystovy wasn’t a land that was kind to beastman since a long time ago. It was even more so since the coup d’etat happened and the country’s connection with Answerer Kingdom deepened. The people at the surrounding area of the capital still had superstitious fear toward beastmen smouldering in their heart.

## Foreign Policy

Answerer Kingdom
They collaborated with Answerer to deprive Mauricia's cause of interfering with the dukedom.
The dukedom borrowed Answerer’s strength, despite knowing the potential danger of turning into a vassal state. They are concerned with Answerer's forte to usurp a country with marriage by pushing their princess to become Bernardi’s marriage partner, then this country would gradually become a vassal state of Answerer Kingdom starting from the generation of their child. Bernardi’s marriage proposal to Silk was also for reining in Answerer Kingdom. It could also be used as excuse for Answerer Kingdom. If the dukedom took a wife from other country too easily, then the royalist faction that had finally started to soften might get angered again. The dukedom could use such excuse if Answerer tried to bring up the matter of marrying their princess.
After the failed expedition in Mulberry, the dukedom bowed their head asking for reinforcement. Answerer responded with more reinforcement from their army and navy. The direct intervention of Answerer would make the dukedom greatly indebted to them. The archduke Jack understood it, but Cesare’s crushing defeat was so shocking that he was forced to turn a blind eye toward the aforementioned risks.
With the lost of Answerer's army and navy, the dukedom is desperately begging for supply aids and for more reinforcement.
Majorca Kingdom
Hostile nation. The dukedom attempted to conquer Majorca, but they were defeated in a navy battle.
Mauricia Kingdom
With Mauricia winning against Haurelia in the second Antrim war, they were concerned with Mauricia would turn its attention to the dukedom next. So they collaborated with Answerer to deprive Mauricia's justification of intervention. However they were unaware that they made Balud Cornelius into their enemy when they brought out Princess Marguerite's past.
Sanjuan Kingdom
Hostile nation. They once defeated Sanjuan naval fleet led by Carlos V Sanjuan.
Trystovy Kingdom
The dukedom schemed to use Princess Marguerite as figurehead to reconcile with the royalist faction by Answerer Kingdom’s intermediation. They attempted to exploit the princess and claim that they were the liberator of the country to justify their usurpation, they wanted to secure Marguerite’s safety and assassinate her at the right time. However they miscalculated that Marguerite had married with a noble of Mauricia since a long time ago and the son that was born between them rejected the legitimacy of the dukedom.
The dukedom announced that they don’t recognise Balud Cornelius’s right of inheritance as the rightful ruler of Trystovy. They fought in the civil war and ultimately lost.
## Government

The dukedom is ruled by the archduke, Jack Armadio Trystovy. The class system was the foundation of Trtystovy Dukedom. The archduke’s revolt reformed the distortion in the power balance between noble and commoner to lean toward the noble, however it didn’t mean that he was simply oppressing the commoners. That was exactly why the dukedom was able to maintain a relatively good government and cornered the maritime guild until there was just one more step left before they were defeated.

In the civil war, the dukedom governed with despotism, where the nobility oppressed the commoners.
