Ealbrin's Manuscripts

A written text that covers the background and history of a country and united realm referred to as the Coalition.

Marked as the start of a new common era, with the calendar of Elysia changed to mark the very formation of the Coalition.

The Coalition State is noted as a republic government in which 8 Lords chose to end the feudal state of Tosima to offer a greater voice and protection to the people, naming a council from which the united kingdoms would be ruled. This came with great sacrifice, as it was only possible when 8 countries rose up against the King of Tosima.

With a united country, council and army, it was believed that they would be strengthened in their resolve and defence against the tribes of the north monsters who ventured south of the Vale.

The Coalition State was formerly made up of the following countries and leaders. In O CF, King Markus Tosima was overthrown after years of tyrannical rule which included the indentured service of sons of Earls into the Tosima army in the war against the Drow. Sons, brothers and fathers were inscripted by force by the King's men to create a larger army to venture into the underdark to take the war to the drow peoples. As the 8 earls joined forces following a break in the war and bonds expiring for soldier enscription, the King had no forces to raise against the rebel nobles and Tosima, its history and future crashed and fell within 3 months as the King had wasted their resources and reserves of grain and food during their venture into the underdark, culminating in the quick starvation of the people of Tosima during the siege of the city by the rebel Earls.

As Tosima fell, Valenguard rose as the new capital of the Coalition State. in which the Republic swore their fealty to the people of Elysia and to protect their interests under the guidance of the Elysian gods. Peace was short lived in the Coalition, for upon arrival of the shards in Elysia the coalition were forced into a war that they were ill-prepared for as they sought to focus on the reconstruction of Valenguard and the Coalition State of Earls. Only a few months passed following the landing of the Lachla Shards, and what followed was the Aberrations in their ships which would decimate the lands of north, coalition state and southern territories.

Valenguard and the council of rebel Earls lasted no more than half a year following the end of the Tyranny of Tosima.
