Beastmen Kingdoms

Pre-founding (- 150ADT)

---

For millenia the beastmen existed in an unorganized fashion all around Occalis, Tending to either stay in small nomadic tribes or simply in familial units in the wilderneness. This was as much a blessing as it was a curse. Due to the lack of organized government or nation, they tended not to get involved in the deadly conflicts that raged throughout the continent in the pre-treaty days. However, this lack of government also caused the beastmen to eventually be absorbed by their neighbors. Often this lead to them being treated as second hand citizens or in some cases (much like in Barekbaal ) they would be made slaves and forced into dangerous, intense work. Minotaurs would often be put to work as mercenaries and construction workers due to their strength, Tabaxii would be used in dangerous jobs that required dexterity far beyond that of most humans, and the rabbitfolk would be used as either Farmers, miners or in some rare cases as bait to keep ranch animals safe.  

Revolution, Independence and Draconis protection(151ADT - 162 ADT)

After the decimation of the Bahamutian army during the battle of Sigmar's gate, A band of disgruntled minotaur mercenaries would run from their posts and started gathering other beastmen (mostly tabaxi and Rabbitfolk), in a secret plot to create a new nation in the Mirkvale reaches, one which would be a haven for all Beastmen, one where they would be able to practice their ancient cultures, choose their own jobs and go where they want.   The first attempt of the minotaurs to gain independence was through force, they would seek to take the town of Oestbruck by force before using it as a bargaining chip to force the hand of the Bahamutian's into accepting their independence. This attempt however would be short lived, as before assaulting the town the Minotaurs would recieve an invitation by the Doge of Baldocinella, who would seek a peaceful solution to their pleas for independence.   The Doge would bring up the plight of the beastmen to the Draconis council who would come to a solution. In return for the Beastmen signing a protectorate treaty, which would allow for Draconis to have exclusive access to tariffless trade with the beastmen, for which draconis would use the power of the Draconis army to defend the Beastmen territories against any military forces that would try to hinder their independence.    Seeing the conditions of the treaty Bahamut's Empire would be forced to sign the Beastmen Declaration of independence, ceding control of the Mirkvale reaches along with any settlements and military installations to the Beastmen
