The Great Fontin

**The Great Fontin** (in Kan language: **Fus Fontin**) is one of the old cultures on Ftopia. It is located northeast of the Woosan peninsula, east of the Lake of Lenbva.

## History

History of Fontin is definitely one of the more richer ones. It developed very independently without an impact of the main Woosan cultures. You will see...

### the Kan

The very first king (Kan or Kan dynasty) wasn't that really of a big king. In -101 BB his influential family started living with 2 other families as a one big civilisation. The 2 other families were Muhan and Rel. This is a simple fact, because the surnames have stayed from then till now. This marked the beginning of a prosperous kingdom.

### the fall

The country size has tripled in 27 years. Mainly because of the great influence, that Kan created over the region. But in -74 the first Kan died. And he has not yet picked a successor yet. This fact split the two branches of the families. The two sons, from which one of them was supposed to be the successor have now faced each other in many conflicts, fights and wars...

They told each other right after the father's death, that the one that kills the other first, gets everything. These brothers have hated each other ever since. The first fight started right above the father's bed. And the brothers have slowly made the conflicts escalate into wars. The first-born brother renamed himself to **Fonkan** (the first king), the second-born brother renamed his part of the family too to **Dunkan** (the second (some sources also mention, that Dun can stand for bigger) king).

### the fights

this is a list of all conflicts that happened between the two brothers

#### the struggle

This is the first fight, that happened right after the Kan's death. It started with the brothers fighting and ended up with the whole house destroyed, closely every member of Kan's family chose a side to fight on, every man had a weapon and the whole family was shocked. All felt pain and fear, except the brothers. But the Fonkan ended up being the winner. But he didn't win more than a destroyed castle.

#### the Kan war

Both sides left the Kan town and built their own castles. After all they were still Kan's sons, so they were rich. We know that Fonkan went to the elders of Muhan and Rel, and he asked for men and support against the Dunkan. We know that, Muhan helped him, but Rel's support is questionable (since different sources have different theories). Dunkan asked for support the biggest kith in the region. They were called Kolsä. They were on the border of the Kan region, but they contributed quite a lot in helping the Kan. After 8 days Dunkan came back to the city of Kan. They prepared for a big fight and waited till Fonkan comes back. The tension in Kan slowly rose. While Fonkan was still trying to get as many families on his side. On the 26th day after Kan's death he attacked Kan. This fight was so devastating, that the town of Kan was no longer recognisable. None of the brothers could be considered as winner, as both left the city of destruction.

#### the Rel coastal fight

Rel family lived on the coast. It was the only coastal town, but it was the biggest crossroad in the Kan region. It made the most sense for Dunkan to attack this place. They attacked in -73 BB. The Fonkan really did not expect this. In half an hour the village was occupied. So the only option was counter attacking. They were fighting for 5 hours right next to Rel. Fonkan won this war, because of more men in this fight, but Dunkan escaped succesfully from the battleground. And this started the long period of Fontin's history, Hundred Battles.

### Hundred Battles

Listing of the actual battles is not really that necessary, but I will use some statistics. The Hundred Battles period lasted from -73 BB till 3 AB, but the last 10 years of this period the battles were much less active, as only 4 fights have been spotted from the total of 161 battles.
