Map of Asmanthûl Republic

The Asmanthûl Republic, also known as the **Second Banished**, was between 1E888 and 2E368 a partially recognised nation in Arcuantlir. It started with the newly formed Kingdom of the Banished, the King at the time ordered some of his subjects to settle a colony on Arcuantlir. They set off with a ship, the *Arres Aithel* due to a storm the ship was damaged and they landed on Bayden. With the permission of the King of Bayden, they were given an offer: Repair of their ship and a small vassal land. This small strip of land, belonged at that time to Elven banishlings. This resulted in a small war, known as the Settler's Landing. By luck however, none of the settlers were killed, except for the captain. While the Elves were slain back. Then Castle Asmanthûl was built. Due to the captain's death whom was ordered to be crowned Lord, they found a republic to be the best form of state. In the year 1E882 the Republic was officialy founded by the leave of the King of the Banished. The Republic was claimed to be a vassal of the Kingdom of the Banished while Men of Bayden saw it as theirs. The Republic itself strove to a di-vassaliation, answering to both Bayden and the Banished or full independence. The disputed area was fully recognised independent after the War of the Five Nations after the 80th President, Alstor Dethûl, officialy asked independence from both Bayden and Banished. Asmanthûl is known to be a banana republic. The main races are Figlûr Dwarves and Banished Men. Minorities are Yglornings and Koer-Náelian Dwarves. Asmanthûl was occupied by Ghalorn's Empire during the the war and liberated by a combined Banished-Baydenese force.

## History

Asmanthûl was founded by the Figlûri Dwarves as mine city in 1E613. Though the Dwarves found but few riches there, and moved on to Dîn Khazór in 1E682. Not knowing what riches they would leave behind. After a war in Morghania, some of The Banished fled towards the sea. The King of the Banished, wanted to secure the continuation of his Kingdom. He saw chance on Arcuantlir and in 1E876 he sent the Banished who fled their kingdom on a ship to go to the believed-abandoned city of Asmanthûl, which by that time was settled by the Wild Elf Chief Ber Rak. Their ship got stranded on the way to Bayden, and their chosen leader, Captain Remas Wyselope. Asked Bayden for food and supplies. The King of Bayden agreed, in exchange for their loyality. They would be allowed to settle Asmanthûl as well. When Remas landed on Asmanthûl they found Ber Rak, whom had settled the city just after the Dwarves abandoned it. Ber Rak refused to follow the orders of the King of Bayden, and the settlers fought a small war known as the *Settler's Landing*. The War ended when Ber Rak decided to duel the now Lord Remas Wyselope, Remas killed Ber Rak in that duel, and the Wild Elves ran of. But not before killing Lord Wyselope. But after the Banished Kingdom found out that Bayden had seduced his subjects, The Banished King warned that the people living there were subjects of the King of the Banished, not of Bayden. Asmanthûl, not knowing which King they would follow, declared itself as a di-vassal in 1E886. The President of the just declared Republic, Trador Wyselope, son of Remas and titular Lord Wyselope, then went to Bayden to talk with the Prígledír. The Alliance of Bayden then supported Trador's plans: an independent city-state. The Alliance of Bayden and the VKI opened negotiations in 1E887, where was agreed that both Bayden and the Banished would remove the troops from the territory and that Asmanthûl would be an vassal towards the Bond of Alliances, the leader of the Asmanthûl would be appointed by the Kingdom of the Banished and the military by Bayden. Lord Trador Wyselope was outraged by this, but accepted Bond of Alliances rule. Trador Wyselope was replaced by Bolag Moarster as leader of the Asmanthûli with, as official title: **Representative of the Bond of Alliances for Asmanthûl**. The Asmanthûl Nation survived one year, Moarster was a loyal man towards the king, and slowly started to make the Asmanthûli answer to their former king. Trador Wyselope, again outraged by this, declared the Republic and its independence, together with Balor Orwen and the dwarf Galin Ggwann. Trador became the first independent president and he made his father, Captain Remas Wyselope, Lord of Asmanthûl patron of the Republic. Even though the King of the Banished quickly recognised the state, knowing that they would never again accept a king's rule, he formed an alliance with the Republic. And also gave the city its first flag. The symbol of being the chained banished wich were freed.
