===Eldian Secession===

Tensions had been brewing for some time between Teufort Province and mainland Arcadia. The Eldians under Tilly had won quite a sizeable bloc of Senators and active players, and the newly elected Prime Minister goodnoodle appeared willing to help develop and provide to the province. But, through intel, a conspiracy was discovered of Arcadian oligarchs looking to remove Governor Tilly from power, as well holding grudges for his opposition to the Senate during his Prime Minister term. Tilly gathered the notable players of Eldia and Eldian Senators and proposed a complete break from Arcadia. The plan was finalized and on 3/8/22 The Dominion of Eldia was born on the Wahat Senate Floor after the Eldian Senators stormed out of the building. In the initial days tensions were even higher as Arcadia scrambled for a plan of action. Events such as the "Gint Patrol" occurred in which a Senator and ARDF official patrolled Eldian supposedly without orders. A provisional government formed in Arcadia to deal with the crisis and after diplomatic talks reached a standstill and threats were exchanged, there was a general unease. The "conflict" (if you could even call it that) officially ended on 3/24/22 with the adoption of the "Sandstone Treaty" by both sides.

 

===The Bull Stands Up===

The Eldian lands, despite their rapid growth, were strange and full of contradictions. Various ethnic and tribal groups for decades had assimilated into the area. And for the longest time, the lands of modern day Eldia have been inhabited by the local tribals, who only knew how to survive and make basic weaponry for tribal conflicts. After Tilly and Plato were originally sent here on a mission to settle and claim these lands, they saw how backward the tribes were. Upon seeing it, Tilly decided to take matters into his own hands. After teaching the tribes of Winterhallow and Frost Walker basic warfare, they led these 2 tribes to conquer and civilise the rest. The tribals fought as best as they could, but were no match for Tilly’s army. And so, he started conquering all the tribes of Southada, recruited tribal men into the army, sent tribal boys to train to become the future soldiers, and started gathering the tribes into towns. Those who defied his will were executed, and bodies thrown into the sea, so that their bones could never find rest in the soil upon which they lived before. It was a long campaign that predated the Eldian Secession movement itself. But with complete and total control of the lands and the slate wiped clean, and the last 11th tribe having been conquered the Dominion of Eldia was reorganized into The Legion.
