The Republic of Lython

Lython believes itself to be the true successors of Arathon. Housing Arathon’s old capital, and birthed by the revolution that destroyed the Arathon royal family, Lython believes it is the rightful owners of the Arathon Region and believes it holds the will of all of the region’s people.

Government
The Republic was formed by a bunch of nobles who decided they were through with a king, especially a corrupt one who only lived extravagantly and levied heavy taxes, even on the nobility. As such, the Republic’s Congress is built of representatives elected by landowners (those previously of noble birth or rich). This kept most of the aristocracy in power, while allowing for the people to justify the revolution by changing the structure of the government to seem more friendly to the people. Still, over the long years of Lython’s history, the congress slowly began to believe it’s own lies, and the people definitely have accepted it.

The Arathon Alliance
Lython brought up the Alliance for two reason:


 * 1) As a lead-in gaining control of the other countries and eventually forcing them to fall under the Republic’s rule diplomatically.
 * 2) In order to combat Khoria, who had begun to swallow up smaller countries with no stop in sight. Lython has no wish to see the land it considered rightful belonging to them swallowed up by another power.

The Grand Duchy of Vilinor
Lython believes the existence of the Grand Duchy of Vilinor cut off the revolution from reaching Delmaran and Adinerra, and they see the Great Duke who founded it as the villain who denied the people their freedom under the republic. This has led to a lot of war and political tension between the Grand Duchy and the Republic.

The Kingdom of Shathorn
Lython believes that the elves, counting among them the elvish Marquess, corrupted the people of Shathorn, or are holding them hostage, denying them the true freedom of humans. As such, Lython is prejudiced against both elves and half-elves, seeing them as devious manipulators. This makes them more loath to work with Shathorn than Vilinor.
