History
Oswanukrama was once part of the Garsenian Confederation but then split off circa 1st Century CE. While the southern half continued to be populated by the native dalar as several city-states, the northern half faced several invasions by human settlers of the Legimar ethnic group. Around 1570, humans had conquered all of Oswanukrama and enslaved the dalar population. This would continue for another three centuries until the Oswanukramese Revolution of 1906, in which an abolitionist militia, spearheaded by Sanmran expatriate Uyazi ni Yoma ryl Asme, successfully liberated the dalar slaves from the pro-slavery government.
Rise of Asme's Regime
Many dalar slaves who lived in Oswanukrama had already begun to develop militant attitudes toward their human enslavers by the late 19th century. While previous attempts at freeing themselves had either been localized efforts or failed entirely, by 1906 the dalar slaves had not only fought for their freedom and won, but also reclaimed the entirety of Oswanukrama for their kind. One prominent leader in this movement was General Uyazi ni Yoma ryl Asme, a skilled tactician who would become the Chief of Oswanukrama by the end of the revolution. During her tenure, the policies Asme put into place displayed commitment to an ideology that espoused dalar nationalism, religious conservatism, the condemnation of chattel slavery, the promotion of traditional femininity, and unquestioning loyalty to the state.
Humans in Oswanukrama often found themselves being discriminated against due to resentment and animosity from their dalar neighbors, as well as legislation passed by the Oswanukramese state itself. Eventually, this would escalate into riots that only fortified the government's hold on domestic affairs. Humans would soon be arrested and imprisoned en masse without trial, often forced to work in harsh conditions. Uyazi ni Yoma ryl Asme now ruled a totalitarian one-party regime in Oswanukrama.
