Foundation of the Lacryn Republic

Founding

8322

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).
