Civilisations of Sari Alenia

Sari Alenia has a vast variety of various civilisations. This article serves as a directory to every sovereign nations known to exist in the area.

Imperial Confederacy of Harnus
The Imperial Confederacy of Harnus (31 BA - 259 FA) was the original union formed by the settlers of West Sari Alenia. The civilisation established the cities of Harnus, Renshaw and Hincar in its time, even while the latter two cities eventually became vassal states, and later fully independant. The civilisation arose from the westward migration of the Empire of East Berai after the Meshcamara disease first began to fracture Sari Alenia. Renshaw and Harnus had particularly close bonds since Renshaw's establishment in 209 FA, with Hincar later being added to the trade triangle in 216 FA. However, after the Empire of Hincar went into hiding Harnus was unable to keep control of the city; Renshaw became increasingly nationalist and civil war was looming in the area. Soon the Confederacy was reduced to just greater Harnus, the network of city ambassadors and state representatives were disbanded, and Harnus passed into the hands of the Empire of Harnus.

Empire of Hincar
The Empire of Hincar (216 FA - 327 FA) was a protectorate of the Imperial Confederacy of Harnus on the south east coast of the Sea of Hamriah. The empire lasted under 4 emperors, two of which ruled as the infamous invisible emperor. The empire was mostly successful at first, it spanned large amounts of land and took up good defensive positions against the Meshcamara. However, failure of the nation states to address the concerns of the actual population soon lead to conflict between the imperial realists and the technocratic aristocracy. This soon turned into the first rebel movement between the imperial forces and the People's Alliance. The success of the People's Alliance soon lead to the establishment of the Bi-Monarchy of Hincar.

Bi-Monarchy of Hincar
The Bi-Monarchy of Hincar (327 FA - 739 FA) was the system of corporate rule that occured following the establishment of a capitalist free market system where special favour was granted to the rich and powerful. Corporations created massive slums surrounding various industrial pursuits of the time, such as mining, smithing and farming. The population growth during this time was vast, however the ever exacerbated class system prompted uproar from the left wing political think tank. The second rebel movement (549 FA - 628 FA), headed by Dan Weylar, was concerned with establishing rule from bellow, where all resources would be directed according to the will of the people. While this rebel movement failed to establish new governance, the third rebel movement (702 FA - 739 FA) was able to bring the bi-monarchy to an end, when Malfon Jakeor, "the Prince of the People" became king of Hincar.

Kingdom of Hincar
The Kingdom of Hincar (739 FA - 2438 FA) was the longest standing (but also weakest and least progressive) system of government in Hincar. For the large part the civilisation spent most of its existence populating the infrastructure left over from previous civilisations. Its ability to really rise to power was hindered by the iron fist that had millions of Hincar citizens exciled for minor disent. It was only by the very end of their rule that the kingdom really had any need for expansion, and this was never completed under their leadership. The fourth rebel movement soon arose and existed for most of the Kingdom's rule of Hincar, with relatively little success. In the end the system of government was destroyed by an attack by the Empire of Hamriah: out of the almost desimated city rose a new civilisation, the Republic of Hincar.

Republic of Hincar
The Republic of Hincar (2438 FA - 2465 FA) was the largest civilisation in West Sari Alenia, spanning most of the coast of the Sea of Hamriah, and incorporating the cities of Hincar, the Docks of Death, Denocrak City, Renshaw and the Resting City. The fifth rebel movement arose in the wake of the republic's establishment, royalists and religious fundamentalists worked to try and dispose of the republic throughout it's early days. Despite this, the republic's weak army was able to conquer the Docks of Death in 2446 FA, and later expeditions expanded its borders further. The republic endured peace during the period of growth and prosperity, but as Meshcamara attacks became common place the civilisation rapidly decreased to its old city walls, and the sixth rebel movement of misanthropes ensured the eventual destruction of Hincar, and the republic died with it.

Empire of Hamriah
The Empire of Hamriah (559 FA - 2446 FA) was the second largest civilization in West Sari Alenia, and had the greatest relative power in Sari Alenia history. The civilisation was established when Darreci Hamriah established the Resting City as a safe haven for those excile from Hincar. To help link the city to Hincar the Docks of Death were established in 823 FA and the population underwent massive increases from the onwards. The civilisations inhabitants were unique in that they were slowly exposed to the Meshcamara virus and thus maintained a human consciousness. By 1511 FA the empire was powerful enough to attack and sieze the city of Renshaw, and after establishing itself there it reached its peak in size and military strength. After this point the empire's resource became concerned more with maintaining Hamriah's power than maintaining the civilisation's position.

In 2438 FA the Resting City was sacked by wild zombies, and the survivors in Hamriah's army retreated to the Docks of Death. In the same year the empire attacked Hincar with good odds of winning, but thanks to Hincar innovation and especially people turning against Hamriah from his own side, the attempt was defeated and Hamriah was killed. However, the Empire of Hamriah still survived in the Docks of Death under vice-emperor Duelarwan. However, the civilisation was unable to regroup enough before the Republic of Hincar defeated them and burnt the Docks of Death to the ground in 2446 FA.

Empire of Renshaw
The Empire of Renshaw (259 FA - 651 FA) was the pro-Harnus government that ruled over the city of Renshaw. From 309 onwards the empire began to predominantly concern itself with putting down the nationalist rebellions occuring from the original Renshaw inhabitants, who were angry at a lack of Renshaw sovereignty. The regime survived off huge military support from Harnus. After the collapse of the imperial regime in Hincar Renshaw entered into a state of mass civil war, which later turned into international conflict between the Hincar-Renshaw Nationalist alliance and the Harnus-Renshaw imperial alliance. Hincar's defeat in the war ensured Harnus would be able to much better support the regime. Eventually over centuries the feeling of individual national pride within Renshaw grew to the extent that the imperial regime was overthrown in 651 FA and nationalists took over.

Nationalist Renshaw
Nationalist Renshaw (651 FA - 1511 FA) was the despotic government established after nationalist revolts in favour of the individual identity of Renshaw over international governance by Harnus. The period of nationalist rule brought about racial and political purges, government corruption, and perpetual war with Harnus. The nationalist's main achievement was its ability to stand up to the campaigns of Marxist terrorists and maintain itself as a largely rural walled complex. However, in 1511 FA the city was sieged by the Resting City and pro-Harmiah cultural Marxists were installed to maintain and renovate the area into the industrial backbone for the Resting City.

Colonial City States
The Colonial City States (2438 FA - 2447 FA) was the north west part of the Empire of Hamriah that broke away upon the collapse of the Resting City. The soveriegn nation provided troops and resources to the Docks of Death where the remnants of the Empire of Hamriah still remained established. The States' one leader was Ulfrego Melfestor, who had been appointed governor of Renshaw by Hamriah. The prosperous city established itself on the north east coast of the Sea of Hamriah, and its huge army could have defeated the seldom numerous Hincar army. However, through espionage and tactics the Republic of Hincar was eventually able to take Renshaw from the Colonial City States and soon the entire civilisation fell to the power of the human invaders.
