## The Beginning

The Purian Senate were once anything but. They in-fact started as individual and sovereign Kings of their respective birth places, the Purian Isles. The Purian Kings all sought to rule a united Purian Isles, and none were willing to give up their own power and sovereignty, in the end they had to. "The Great Unification War" it was called. A vast war across the isles of Puria between each King, none united with another. To make a long story short the Kings came to the conclusion that one could not beat fully another, and that there were surely larger issues in this world than ones own power lust, for better or worse. The 5 Kings of Sorden, Alaster, Corsia, Oria, and Domnia all gathered in Oria. The King of Domencia refused claiming that a united Puria was a doomed Puria. They signed a peace treaty ending the war and solidifying a union of the isles. They then saw the degeneration and enslavement of the entire surviving populace of Domencia and the execution of the King of Domencia.
