Soirwind

Soirwind (Shar-vind) or officially the Sovereignty of Soirwind is a constitutional republic in Alshar. Located on the western coast of Alshar and bordering Kloistan to the east and Pursat to the south. Soirwind is an associated state of Fiannria and much of its history is derived from there. Originally founded by Culfran adventuring merchants and crusaders during the period of the Audonian and Alshari incursions, Soirwind became the hub of Culfra mercantile and imperial ventures in the far east. And following the collapse of the Culfran League and establishment of the Commonwealth of Fiannria, the center of the new colonial efforts and its remaining strength today in Alshar.

Soirwind's capital of Cathash serves as the center of operations of the General Board of Commonwealth Concessions (GBCC), leading to a very close relationship between the nation and the collection of charter cities.

History
General Outline


 * Early Settlement- Culfran mercantile exclaves and crusader states during the era of Audonian Crusades which traveled further east.
 * Establishment- Adventurism and population growth in the Fiannan princedoms in the early modern period/age of sail leads to further expeditions in Audonia, eventually in order to protect Culfran interests, the crusader states, trade companies, and exclaves form a union of sorts to protect and support one another
 * Soirwind under the Culfran Crown- Age of prosperity for Culfran colonialism in Soirwind and beyond while the Kingdom of the Culfras existed
 * Soirwind and the League- After the Succession crisis in Culfra/Fiannria and establishment of the League of the Culfras, much of the greater colonies were seized or sold away however, the Dominion of Soirwind as it was recognized remained under the League's control. Probably piracy happened during this whole period
 * The Commonwealth and the Dominion- Following the establishment of the Commonwealth of Fiannria, an independence movement kicked off within Soirwind, however the details of it in Fiannria were vague as Fiannria sought to send exiles, impoverished, and former nobles to the colonies and create some system of republican government in the colonial domain.
 * The Bey's War- Native leaders integrated with independence minded settlers started a revolt in Soirwind against the rule of the far off Commonwealth, reeling from the defeat of the Third Kin War. The War consisted of two phases, the initial uprising and seizure of most major ports and fortifications, and then the arrival of the Fiannan invasion force that would put down the now disunited fighting factions initially united in declaring independence.
 * Fiannan presence in Alshar and the Sovereignty- Following that war, Fiannria became much more active in the Alshar region, establishing limited colonies but taking concessions from local powers to encourage trade and further Occidental influence into the countries themselves. To support the expanded operations, Fiannria gave Soirwind it's earlier sought independence as a Sovereign Republic and declared a treaty of eternal friendship, and cooperation between the states. Making Soirwind more of a dependency or a protecterate than colony.
