Overview

With more than one generation having grown up not knowing anything but the unity of the Republic, however fractious it might be at times, it is easy to forget that for most of the Firan people's history, they have been anything but unified.

Formed in 0AU, the Unification of the Firan Clans saw the creation of the Republic which, battered at times, has managed to survive until today as the legal, political and military governing body for matters involving the clans as a whole. More akin to a Confederacy than an actual republic, it governs matters occuring within and around Anarinuell, thugh not those that occue within the Clan Districts, directs the unified Firan military effort against the Shamibellians and has some measure of oversight regarding political interactions between the clans as a whole.

The Republic today is in many ways a different beast from that formed under Elianos over 40 years ago. The Viceroy is less able to stamp his authority onto the Clans as a whole than Ranivor Elianos was, however, at the same time the majority of Firans now have grown up knowing nothing but the unity of the Republic, so many of the arguments regarding how to work together have faded into the past.

History of the Republic

More in depth coverage on the history of the republic, but still keeping to broad strokes where possible. Informative, not overly discursive.

Before the Shamibellians attacked the Firan People, before the Great Beast was hunted and before the Seven Heroes began their great quest, the Firan people were comprised of a collection of quarreling clans with no real cause to unite. The Clan Council did exist in those early days and would meet once a year upon a sacred island (now sunk) near to Anarinuell. Much like today the staff of the High Priest kept order and Clan Councils were considered sacred and secretive affairs. Like today, Festivals were still held within Sarkaran and the Festival was considered a time of peace. But, other than those common similarities, the Firan people before the republic were a disparate collection of clans.

Military divisions

Military History of the Republic

In a very real sense, the Republic was founded in war. With the Shamibelians massing to the South, the clans unified in order to provide a combined response to the imminent threat. Generations later and the Republic is still at war, still threatened to the south with the key city of [[Ellish] providing the focal point for each summer's campaign against the Shamibelians.

The yearly massed campaign against the Shamibelians in the summer is far from the only military action, however. Year-round the men and women of the 3rd Division, together with the Griffon and Cockatrice clan militaries fight and defend the Republic against the raids and skirmishes of the Shamibelians. Irregularly sizeable Shamibelian raids penetrate as far as Anarinuell, and many citizens of the city have been killed or taken back to Ellish as slaves.

      • Internal Republic Military Actions


Scirlut In XXX AU the Republic intervened in the ongoing war between the Griffon clan and the Blood Dragons; Gold Dragons who had flocked to Scirlut in rebellion against Jalil's decree that Scirlut would be given back to the Griffon clan as a wedding present for his son, Judanus. Following bitter and violent fighting, with many losses on both sides, Lord Viceroy Taleo sent (xxxcheck namexxx) to broker a peace agreement.

The peace settlement made was a novel one for the Firans. A great war was to be build through the city, with one-half of the city to be deemed to be in Blood Dragon hands and the other half to belong to the Griffons. Republic soldiers from the 1st division were stationed within the city to act as lawkeepers and to preserve the peace. Surprisingly, given the ancient animosity between the two sides, the peace has held, with no significant uprisings or bouts of wide-spread violence since the decree.

Constitution of the Republic

Firans do not think of constitutions as unchangeable documents. Instead, Firans view constitutions as a contract with the people that can be renewed or altered at scheduled intervals. While the Firans are very proud of their first constitution and hang it proudly in Unity Hall, the present constitution has changed in many respects. This does not lessen the people's reverence for the original document. The Firans realize that there are many ambiguities in their constitution and they're not particularly disturbed by them. Like many nascient governmental systems, they have a tendency to believe "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
