Uprising against Melnea by the Inheritors of Lemankainen
RevolutionThe Inheritors of Lemankainen, based out of Ouvo and lead by The Mad Sage Argaphin, foment discontent amongst the northern tribes and cities of Skyer, convincing them that they would be better off independent of any affiliation with Melnea and Uoitsa. Argaphin promoted a more rigid governmental structure, and proposed a new central government based in Ouvo. Ultimately, the more populous southern folk of Skyer and the military from Uoitsa, supported by ships from Jattil blockading any escape by sea (at great risk to them due to the proximity of the Krakens Bones), marched on Ouvo. After clearing out the barbarian hordes of the north, The Mad Sage Argaphin and his accolytes holed up in their tower overlooking the coast. The siege lasted 1 year before the Inheritors of Lemankainen finally fell to the combined forces of Melnea. As payment for their loyalty to the Melnean Cause, the port of Hyla was fortified by the Alchemists of Vaati, rendering their port more safe for docking, despite it's proximity to the Krakens Bones. This lead to Hyla becoming the economic and cultural center of Skyer
