Wythower Empire

 Wythower Empire 

The Wythower Empire was a barbarian kingdom which had gained independence from Arkadia during the Eternal Fury War. It eventually fell apart during the war of the Second Arkadian Unification.

 History 

See the Duchy of Wythower page for a more in-depth look concerning the happenings of pre-900 AAWE

Prelude

After the First Arkadian Unification in 400 AAWE, most of the opponents against a unified Arkadia had either been killed or were driven out of Arkadian lands, some taking refuge in neighbouring states, such as the Kingdom of Osmis and some tribal areas which are known as present-day Anderith.

Loyalists to the Arkadian Crown and cause were made the ruling nobles of the Duchy of Wythower and all of the dissident areas surrounding it. By doing this, King Charles II hoped to crush the anti-Arkadian sentiment which rised there, and hopefully make place for a more loyal region and population.

In spite of this, anti-Arkadian sentiments never truly faded in dissident areas. This was because the Wythowers had their own tribal culture and beliefs, which was not at all connected to Arkadia's ideals. After the unification, uprisings frequently occured, although they were bloodily repressed each time. And thus, the belief with most tribe leaders grew that separation from Arkadia was simply not possible, as they were fiercely inferior to the large and strong Kingdom. However, all things changed with the appearance of one entity in 700 AAWE..
