===Antiquity===
Old shit idk
===Nomad Settlement and Imperial Province===
Circa early 600's BC nomad tribes migrating(expelled by other Duamacian tribes, fleeing famine/natural disaster/plagues/seeking new grasslands/etc) from the north  Tanhai settle in northwestern Tanhai, create the Degei confederation(I originally imagined them as closely resembling the manchu people but Dia you decide, 'Degei' is just what they are called in Corumm). Circa 670's they start doing what nomads do and go raid and wreck other peoples shit, aka they ride south into the corummese shang dynasty. After a few years they get their shit pushed in and Shang moves into Tanhai and turns part of it into an imperial province(extensive corummese settlement at this point in south and central tanhai) and the Degei are relegated to the northern border zone as vassals and military auxiliaries.  
===Revolt and Despotate of Tang===
Downfall of Shang dynasty in 840-850's spells doom for control of the province, ambitious viceroy declares himself Despot of Great Tang with foreign backing(Dia or metz local actors or central govs depending on situation at the time) and buys loyalty of local garrisons. Tang invades eastern peninsula to take it from the metzettan statelet, probably loses badly and wastes precious military resources in the process. Smelling weakness, nomads stir again. Despotate limps on several decades more
===Kingdom of Tanhai===
Tang name gets corrupted into Tanhai? or something lol. Northern nomads over time become landed nobles/marcher lords/sipahis providing safety at the border/cavalry for Tanhai's armies in exchange for land and other benefits

Revision as of 02:13, 13 June 2022

Nautilus Barbarus (literally the "Barbarian Fleet"), was a part of the Imperial Naval Fleet of Caphiria formed somewhere in the 9th century to combat the rising piracy off the coast of the Imperium. The fleet is best known for its imperative part in the widespread establishment of piracy in northern Sarpedon following its revolt lead by Quintis Fundanus Faustinius, who eventually became known as the Pirata Rex, the Pirate King.

History

Little is known of the early history of the Nautilus Barbarus, likely due to the Caphirians being a primarily land-based people and seeing the navy as little more than the least prestigious branch of the Imperial Legion. Based on historical records, the founding of Nautilus Barbarus is typically placed somewhere in the 9th century, thought to have been created to combat the piracy that had been growing following the fall of the First Imperium. The Nautilus Barbarus practically disappears from the historical record until the late 10th century, when during the Caphirian civil war, the Admiral of the Nautilus Barbarus, Placus Maelius Regulus, was recorded to have expressed his concern over the general discontent of the men serving in his fleet.

The civil war that was raging at the time had drawn funding away from the navy, leaving many of its fleets completely lacking in both payment of food and coin. This naturally drastically lowered the morale of the seamen, which Regulus had noted at this point, fearing mutiny in his appeal to the local garrison where he requested funding. The funding Regulus requested was not granted, and after returning to his fleet to give the news, Faustinius rallied his fellow seamen to drown their Admiral and claim the pay they haven't received. On the night of the same day, Faustinius lead three ships to the nearest fort which housed not only the local garrison, but the rations and payment for the Legion. Faustinius managed to narrowly beat the garrisons men, which sparked widespread looting of the fort by him and his men; initially meaning to take just what they thought was theirs, it spilled from the fort to the nearby trading warehouses, where luxury goods were stolen, and a record number of wine.

The fictionalised Faustinius based on the descriptions of him from Marina's book.

Faustinius then quickly sailed further west, docking at the city of Utur located in the Azure Bay in modern day Aciria, where the crew managed to sell off the loot they had stolen, restocking with the gold they had made before returning to sea. The revolt and assault on an imperial garrison quickly spread word of the Pirate King Faustinius, which inspired many other naval officers discontent with their current position to revolt and join Faustinius.

Historicity

Most sources of Nautilus Barbarus following their revolt and defection are thought to have dramatized the success of both Faustinius and his pirate fleet. Contemporary sources are mainly from pirate sources, as other naval officers following their revolt praised both Faustinius and Nautilus Barbarus in order to recruit more able-bodied men for their fleets.

Legacy

Faustinius' exploits in the Urlazian Sea inspired various works of art in history, maybe most notably the works of Centurilio Marina who based his book The Black Flag (1832) loosely on Faustinius' time as a pirate.
