Founding
The Republic, in the beginning of the fall of Aslynthar, dramatically seceded from the Holy Empire under the leadership of renegade Lord Delethon Geralsonilium.
In a bid for power and wishing to be freed from the restraints and rulership of the Emperor, Lord Delethon Geralsonilium of the Lacryn Province led a movement to secede the province from the larger empire. As Lord Geralsonilium expected, the Emperor intensely refused. As Lord Geralsonilium had gathered a large following in the name of fighting against tyranny and endorsing the separation of Church and State, he declared independence and a bloody civil war ensued. After nearly 5 years of fighting, Lacryn won the war and the Empire relinquished the province. Ironically, when Lord Geralsonilium swiftly instituted a poorly disguised autocracy with him at the top, a brief rebellion within the still-reeling Lacryn exiled the Lord of Lacryn, a small council drafting a constitution that would create the famous republic Lacryn is today and electing Geralsonilium's daughter, Telia, as the leader of the Prolerian Senate (Prolerian representing the higher echelon of Lacran society).
