History of Liosol

Middle ages

In late 842 CE the city of Granas in modern Liosol officially declared independence from the weakening Malas Empire. In response, the Kingdom of Setoel, the city's nearest neighbor, guaranteed its independence and thereby angered the Malaci state. The following year, 843, the Kingdom of Setoel, the Cheniq States, and the Kar Republic formed the association known as the Northern Confederation in order to stop any ambitious Malaci ruler from expanding their imperial authority into Liosol proper. Reth Gose VII was outraged by this action and accordingly declared war on the "weak and intolerable Alotol states." This led to the Granas Independence War or, as it is known in Huy En, the Granas Rebellion of 843. The war ended in 849 with a decisive Alotol victory. Granas became an Alotol Republic loyal to the King of Setoel but, simultaneously, maintained its independence.

After the death of King Agore of Setoel in 887 and a succession crisis that shook the Northern Confederation, the Malas Empire, seeking to push its border to the Eastern River, declared war on Monsello. The Kingdom of Monsello called for the Northern Confederation's assistance on October 8th, 887, pledging its allegiance to the newly appointed King Olem of Setoel. This event, known as the Cheniq War, lasted from 887 to 921. The Malas Empire opened two fronts, charging all the Cheniq States as well as Granas and surrounding smaller kingdoms. The Confederation maintained the upper hand in the war until King Olem died during the Battle of the Sacred Hill, a key victory for Malaci forces. His successor, Hejan the Young, originally continued the war in his father's stead. However, after the seige of Granas and Tenhe, Confederation forces surrendered.

Following the Cheniq War, the Southern states comprising the region of Hedan, a region that saw the largest causalities, refused to participate in any further campaigns. This, coupled with a Malaci succession crisis in 933, pushed the Malas Empire into decline. Hejan the Young of Setoel was overthrown in 937 and was replaced by Crown Prince Pemadha. King Pemadha consolidated the Western Alotol States and, in 952, declared the end of the Malas Empire, preparing to "force Setoel to the highest peaks of the Ungagons and the farthest reaches of the Kethn River." The Cheniq States were liberated by the summer of 956 and Hedan peacefully capitulated to Alotol forces in 959. The Second Cheniq War ended in 1071 with the Treaty of Umasi. King Pemadha II carved out the Northwestern state of Pemadha and forcibly ruled over the Northern Confederation and the Malas Empire until his death 1098. His successor, King Amth, released the remaining Malaci territories west of the Kethn river and provided independence for Hedan, if they chose to accept it. Following centuries of war, the Northern Confederation enjoyed a brief era of peace from 1098 to 1165.

Early modern era

Formation of Liosol

The Kingdom of Liosol was formed in 1783 when Prince Agore ascended the throne, incorporating his princely state of Pemada into the Kingdom of Setole, and establishing his cadet branch as the ruling royal family. King Agore requested that the Republics join the Kingdom of Liosol with the promise of fair representation and the rights afforded to them during the Confederation. The "Republic Row", led by the Kar Republic, denied Agore's request and remained enclaves of the Kingdom.

Recent history

The recent history of Liosol ranges from the beginning of the 21st century to the current year. It has been marked by political instability following the breakdown of relations with neighbors and troubles within the kingdom.

The Soltennan Council

Liosol and its allies met in place on the first of November, 2006, to establish the Soltennan Council, a regional and economic intergovernmental organization in Western Miraria. This marked the first major bilateral trade with the then-Kuulist Qonklese state.

Natekam Period

The Natekam Period (Tyndal: Natekam [natʃekam], lit. "New Empire") refers to Alotol history from 2015 to the present. It has been characterized by a rise in nationalism and increasing division within the country, particularly since the 2019 election.

• 21 May, 2019 - Liosol's 40th general election took place. Pra Densok won the national election, securing both the House and the Ministry for the Yellow Coalition. Meanwhile, Eul Lana won the internal election, beating the opposition candidate to become Chancellor of the House.
• 1 January, 2020 - The Executive Ban on Kuulist Parties expired. Prime Minister Pra Densok refused to renew it, declaring it corrupt.
• 2 January, 2020 - Members of the White Party and the Hetan Nationalist Front changed party affiliation to the Alotol Kuulist Party. Altogether, the re-formed party gained 39 members. The White Party lost 28 members from its 167 member total, leaving it with 139 members in the House of Status. Hansobel lost 8 members from its 69 member total, leaving it with 61 members in the House of Status. Despite these changes in party affiliation, the parties making up the Yellow Coalition promised to continue Pra's government.
• 11 August, 2020 - The Kajeth adopted the Alotol Constitution of the New Age, commonly referred to as "Pra's Constitution."
• 9 August, 2021 - Rumors that Minister Dain Liago, leader of the Party for the Republic, reportedly wanted to withdraw his party from the Yellow Coalition spread throughout the Republican Bloc. These ideas angered many politicians, since Dain's party leaving would cost the Yellow Coalition its majority.
• 22 August, 2021 - Chancellor Eul began official trials for Operation Badol in the House and Ministry.
