Saelin: Difference between revisions

Saelin's rapid collapse began in earnest with an intermarriage between King _____ of Saelin and Princess _____ of [[Faneria]] in the 1710s, which resulted in a succession challenge after _______'s passing leading to the [[Saelish Partitions|First Saelish Partition]]. Reduced to its core regions at the end of a bayonet, Saelin was formally made a march of Faneria in 1745 and portions of its remaining territory doled out between the Caeric and Fiannrian states first as 'regions of protection' and later annexed de jure; these concessions and a subsequent border conflict with Fiannria were in turn used to justify a full annexation of the remainder of Saelin by Faneria and Fiannria in the Second Partition in 1794. By 1800, [[Fhasenization|Fhasenization]] and the meteoric decline of traditional trade routes in Saelin had led to the majority of Saelin's economic and human capital potential fleeing to the [[Vandarch]] or Bridhavn. Expat Saelish culture in both Faneria and Fiannria formed large parts of the Romantic and Impressionist art movements, while Saelin itself was heavily repopulated with Fhainnin immigrants seeking work in lumber and mining prospects. Aenglefhainn politician John Morea was quoted in 1828 as saying Saelin had "died nobly and quietly from a hundred wounds before its neigbors ever bit at it", emphasizing the deavastating effects depopulation and deprivement of trade had wrought on the region. While the discovery of large patches of natural gas in the Archipelago in 1893 reinvigorated the local economies, the Saelish in each country had diverged enough to consider themselves communities within their respective regions, rather than as a unified people.

Saelin was a major launching point for the Third and Fourth Kin Wars between Faneria and Fiannria, as well as being one of the only border regions in Faneria to never launch a significant separatist uprising on its own. Fanerian Saelin surrendered without major fighting to the Republicans during the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], but Saelin as a whole suffered instability during the tumult following the [[Fourth Kin War]] and well as some of the heaviest fighting of the [[Second Great War]], first with Fiannrian Saelin being subjected to invasion and then grinding fighting across the Archipelago and later into Fanerian territory as the region became the only appreciable source of fuel for Faneria's war machine.

Post-war, Saelin was rewritten, with the original peace drafts entirely ceding the region to Caergwynn and Fiannria. Fanerian officials offered enormous concessions including the entirety of [[Sioc Siar]] and [[Gathlann]] to retain the most key economic areas of the Archipelago and coastal Brevehaithe, creating the modern exclave province in [[Sorhaithe]]borders of the region. Saelish culture, particularly in Fiannria, has since seen a revival, with increasing toleration of regional autonomy in Fanerian Saelin appearing in recent decades after the success of the [[Transisthmus Peace Proccess]].
