Treaty of Leon
Political eventWith the country near ruin and a foreign enemy at the gates the nobility, the last allies of the King, saw no other option than to rebel against the king. They formed the Noble Confederacy and forced the king to abdicate and install the his cousin Leo. Then had the new king sign the Leon Laws a series of laws that limit the king to a figure head and recreated the Kingdom of Karo into a loose confederation of self governing provinces. Finally the nobles convinced their rebelling neighbors united together to push back the growing Akuma threat. Thus the Treaty of Leon was created and Karo as we know it was born.
