Located on the western coast of Audonia and bordering [[Arzanshahr]] to the east and [[Zaclaria]] to the south. Soirwind is an successor state of the Kingdom of Karmelis and an associated state of [[Fiannria]]. The modern state of founded by Culfran adventuring merchants and crusaders during the period of the Audonian [[Crusades]], Soirwind became the hub of Culfran mercantile and imperial ventures in the far east.

As the brutality of the Northern War for the Cross waned and Dragonnades began to be utilized as a tool in the mainland, Catholic governors, lords, and administrators in Soirwind took the idea in stride and began using similar tactics not only against Protestants but also against Jewish, Islamic, and Zoraoastrian residents of Soirwindic cities and towns. In this period of rising violence the Soirwind colonies, as they were not a unified state at this time, became both hubs of tolerance and epicenters of pogroms and mass violence. Border wars and skirmishes between the different colonial lords and governors nearly matched the violence experienced on the mainland until the arrival of the [[Griffin's Fleet]], following the declaration of the United Kingdom of the Culfras under Alexander O'Rourke and his edicts seeking to pacify of the mainland, prepared a military expedition to the Culfran colonies and in what some consider an early modern example of gunboat diplomacy forced violence in Soirwind to end and consolidated the colonies into one entity, which would be known as the Royal Domain of Soirwind. | As the brutality of the Northern War for the Cross waned and Dragonnades began to be utilized as a tool in the mainland, Catholic governors, lords, and administrators in Soirwind took the idea in stride and began using similar tactics not only against Protestants but also against Jewish, Islamic, and Zoraoastrian residents of Soirwindic cities and towns.

In the later years of | In the later years of King Alexander I O'Rourke, a Royal Charter was issued for the [[United Culfran Audonia Company]], a trading company that would take prominence in trade through northern and western Audonia until it's bankruptcy in the early 1700s. | ||
Following the establishment of the Royal Domain of Soirwind and the edicts and military stationing from the mainland bringing about a period of peace and reconstruction, the colony would become very prosperous amongst the wealth brought from the merchants and new colonial ventures. But this also led to a period of piracy and naval combat with corsairs and interdictions by the Caliph to interrupt Occidental influence in Audonia. The seas around western Audonia would become an epicenter of privateers, piracy, and naval combat, including a resurgence of the monastic orders founded during the Crusades to take up the cross upon the seas against corsairs. | Following the establishment of the Royal Domain of Soirwind and the edicts and military stationing from the mainland bringing about a period of peace and reconstruction, the colony would become very prosperous amongst the wealth brought from the merchants and new colonial ventures.

* 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 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. | * 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.

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 protectorate than colony. | ||

In negotiations to draw Urcea and Burgundic support in war against Faneria, Fiannria agreed to utilize Audonian and Soirwindic Forces to support defense of Burgundic territories. | ||

* The | * The Ghelamist Uprising- In the waning years of the Occidental Cold War, anti-occidental sentiments had fermented from Operation Kipling, coups, foreign interference, nationalism and perceptions of neo-colonialism within much of Audonia. In Soirwind this culminated in the election of Hermez Ghelamer to the Marshal of Soirwind in February 1994. Hermez Ghelamer was a political outsider in what had been a period of near ninety years of political domination from a few political dynasties who led the entrenched parties. Ghelemer was considered a political upstart and ideological pundit, he was considered a reactionary on the left and a communist on the right, but was consistently a populist, believer in Audonian machismo, nationalism, and ardent anti-occidental. His rise to power led to en masse arrests, political reform and takeovers and a change in economic relationships with the world as Ghelemer sought an autarkist state, free from Fiannria and foreign influence, centered on a Kermelis Nationalist Movement. This movement promoted violence against foreigners and especially Fiannans or those with significant Fiannan ancestry. This culminated in the Siege of the Fiannan Embassy in Catash beginning on April 7th, 1996 which resulted in the Fiannan Military Intervention on April 13th, 1996. | ||
* The Soirwind Intervention- On April 13th, 1996, A fully scale military invasion from Fiannria occured in Soirwind, with a three pronged amphibious and air assualt, targeting Catash, the northern borderlands, and the southern plains of Soirwind.

The strike of overwhelming force in the initial invasion threw Soirwind Ghelamist loyalist forces in a full retreat into mountain strongholds and chokepoints. The conflict lasted for three weeks and four days and ended with the capture of Hermez Ghelamer and his closest advisors attempting an escape into Sacatia. This led to a five-year Fiannan occupation of Soirwind to repair damages, restore democratic institutions and rehabilitate the Soirwindic people and its relationship with Fiannria. | ||
