## History

The Hunters are the youngest faction of three, having been founded in 1146 BM. Despite how early it has been established, they did not exactly have a good past.

### Formation of the Faction

It would begin in 1148 BM when a group of Warrior recruits would leave the Warrior Stronghold after being fed up with the extreme flaws within the government, how they place too much weight on any recruits' shoulders, lack of freedom and the such.

Shortly after leaving, they would establish a makeshift camp where they would plan a revolution against the cruel regime. Many would come to their side as they liberate several recruits sent to the Redwood Pass as punishment, and the war would begin as the rebels would capture the Warrior Camp in the Redwood Pass of which is along the path to the Stronghold. Here, they would keep Loyalists captive and gather resources as well as supplies in the camp. Shortly after they were finished with preparations, they would enlist more depressed recruits of which were furious for being placed under punishment. The rebellion was now pretty sizeable, around half the size of the Warrior's Legion.

The rebellion begins their hike up the path to the Stronghold, and would setup forts to serve as fallback. With this, the rebel forces would surround the entrance as well as bombard the bridge. Though this is a terrible idea, they had a plan. They would use their Bows of which they hand crafted to pierce through Steel Armor (as Warriors only had the resources for Steel Armor) against them. The Bow, a weapon that is unheard of in war would quickly allow them to gain the advantage and gain massive leads on the ground side of the fight. They would continue to push towards the Stronghold, until the Legions would finally show up. These were made up of fierce Berserkers, Knights and Paladins. The tide would turn as they simply possessed overwhelming superiority in the fight, causing the rebellion to retreat South towards the Redwood Pass. Fighting continues in the Warrior Camp, with the Warriors reigning victorious again. A few rebels would be taken captive, though most of the rebels would flee.

The rebels would officially establish themselves as "The Hunters" and would create a versatile style of fighting of which they hope to one day would match the likes of the Mages and Warriors. They would find where is now the Hunter's Republic 2 years after they attempted a rebellion in the Warrior's Legion, and capital Port Fidelio would be built on a shore rich with resources. However, a problem would arise as the nation was left with no official leader whatsoever as the the leadership was fragmented.

### The First Civil War

So, the fragmented leadership would agree on an election to elect a person into the position. Candidates would be Duke Carson, Millian Hayes, Kevin Tuna and James Hugo or Admiral Hugo. Admiral Hugo would be on the winning side for the majority of the election.. but something was off. Admiral Hugo was threatening and assassinating political opponents behind the scenes, of which would be exposed to the public. Most supporters of Admiral Hugo decided to continue supporting Admiral Hugo mentioning that the assassinations and threats were made up as a way to frame Admiral Hugo and kick him off the election then into imprisonment. A civil war would begin over the election, of which Admiral Hugo would reign victorious with his supporters against all odds due to a ton of key officials turning against him. After the taking of Port Fidelio, Hugo would establish the Hunter's Junta with his supporters and force Tricksters as well as Rangers to swear not to turn against him else they'll be held captive. With the establishment of the Hunter's Junta, rebels would continuously fail left and right along the shores until they would surrender at Fort Foxtrot in Scallop Shores. The Hunter's Junta would be the victor of the 1st Hunter Civil War, and shortly after writing off the rebels as simply morons in the Hunter's Official Book of History.

### The Second Civil War

Time would go by, and Port Fidelio would become the commerce capital of the Baltic Seas. However, Tricksters and Rangers were now just realizing that they were being controlled as well as the corruption of Admiral Hugo's leadership behind the scenes as Admiral Hugo imposed a falsely taught Republic while it is really a Dictatorial Military Junta. The 2nd Hunter Civil War would begin with this discovery, as rebels begin to close in on the Junta. The Mages opted to support the rebels, as well as the Spores. All would go fine, until the Junta would just like the Legion did against the rebels would show up and ruin their hopes and dreams. Admiral Hugo would reign victorious once again, and imprison all Tricksters and Rangers who were mainly key enemy officials in the 2nd Civil War.

### The War of Junta's Claim

Though, the Junta realized one thing. They needed to show the Mages that they remembered their opposition against the Junta, and upon the realization would declare war on the Order of Mages. This would cause Spores to also follow suit and declare war on the Junta, being allied with the Mages. Shortly after, a 3rd Civil War would ensue as Tricksters and Rangers begin to rise up once again. This would be the final straw for the Junta, and was now going to imprison or kill rebels with no mercy going forward. This, and the Mages as well as Spores would be the War of Junta's Claim.

The Rebels would be faced with the force of Junta's iron fist as the Junta succeeds in several Battles, as well as the Mages being hit hard with a large scale offensive on their turf. Due to the vast Enchanted Forests of the Mages, the Hunters would hold the advantage having Bows and stealth. Soon, the Spheriodics of the RSR colony would betray the Junta after the Junta having helped them in the past. Hugo was furious, but delayed a response to Spheriodic and Spore offensives on the West as they focus on the Mages. The Mages on the other hand, were continuously facing difficulty in the war as just now the Ants would declare support for the Junta and send volunteers. Some Ants opted to support the Mages, though they did not provide as much volunteers to the Mages. The War of Junta's Claim would continue in Junta's favor, as they begin to close in on the Tree of Life. Though, this wouldn't continue for long as Fantasians would enter the war in full support of the Mages. However, hope was slowly diminishing by the second, until the Sorcerers would after years of research figure out the paradox that is solving the Forgotten Staff. This allowed for it to properly use all variants of Mana, including Vesra-aligned, Non-aligned and Terul-aligned. The Sorcerers began to form a firing squad on the enemies as they attempt to close in on the capital hill of the city, constantly using the Forgotten Staff strategically to rain down storms upon storms of thunderbolts upon them. This would allow the Mages to then break the encirclement of the city and adjust their front to counter the Junta. Together, the Mages, Fantasians, Spores and Spheriodics would break through many of the Junta's lines causing a huge counter offensive of which would push them back to the mainland where the rebels would finish it off after the storming of Port Fidelio. Admiral Hugo would commit suicide before the capital building could be stormed, where he would be found. His remains would be thrown into the ocean, being written down as a megalomaniac.

### A New Beginning, The Republic

The Hunter's Republic would be established a year after this took place as it would be a year-long process of reforming the governing system as well as shutting down small Pro-Junta resistance.

With this, the Hunter's Republic would make large sweeping changes to the governing structure as well as reforming how the economy worked in favor of Merchants rather than the benefit of the leader. The Dictatorial Military Junta would be replaced with a Constitutional Republic with a Senate made up of Creed Generals and Province Governors.
