Bavo'Sand History

Over the ten years the war was fought many humans, dwarves and centaurs died, and no one really made any headway, because the Centaurs couldn't stand against the city armies in stand-up battle, but they were not stupid enough to allow them to be drawn into them, bar when there was no other option, and while they lost nearly all those battles the drain of life on both sides was immense. In the end the centaurs offer the cities a chance to finish the fight one way or the other. They could choose their 5 best champions to fight against the Centaurs 5 best. If the humans won the centaurs would retreat across the rivers to the west and leave the rest of the plains to the humans. If the Centaurs won the humans would back off to their orginal lands to the east. The Council agreed and the tourney was set.   The Tourney was held in front of the leaders of the centaur tribes and the city council members. Along with members of the military and religion sects. The Tourney was a full on melee 5 on 5 and was brutal in the early stages, and the weakest of both side died quickly, the fight lasted over an hour and in the end only two stood was a centaur by the name of Vaerd of the Daj’an Tribe and Edmond of the House of Kalnai, and they both were seriously injury and neither able to fight beyond throwing a weaken attack or physical barging into each other. In the end they both fell and neither could stand.   The leaders of the Religious sects declared it was a message from the gods that apart the two civilisations would fail and the needed to stand together to grow in strength. The leaders on both sides weren’t a 100% happy with this outcome but neither side was willing to dismiss the chance that the religious leaders were right. So the agreement came that the centaurs would join the cities, but each was given the option to stay in the plains rather than joining the cities like the tribes of humans and dwarves had done. At this point the Cities of Bavan changed the names to the Republic of the Sands

Senatorial positions become hereditical rather than merit of new members, As the senate positions open up the senate members are those that vote on new members, and the important and large families start working together to keep the senate pure for those families.

Due to the damage cause by Magic in the wars between Sente and Traders, Magic starts beiing seen as an anathema, and mages become a class of almost slaves, due to the segregation and suppression of those who could use magic.

Large parts of the mages that the traders thought were under they control, suddenly dissappear overnight, shutting down the doorways to the mists, and portals directly to other planars as they left. Next the traders knew was small skirmishs happening where Mages destory the city guards, the fighting forces of the Traders, but slowly and over time, the mages could have just wiped everything out but they were controlling the magic to be limited and kept undercontrol so not to the general population fight against them.

The Crystal Tower appears Centre of the City Bavan, where one of the major Trader Families use to have they home, a 5 mile area of the city which was almost deserted becomes parklands with a large crystal tower in the centre. No one without magic was allowed near it.

The Crystal Tower controls the city and kingdom, No one sure how the laws are formed, but new rules and laws come out of the Crystal Tower and enacted by the guards and officals of the Kingdom.

The rules come down from the Crystal Tower, that all Mercenaries, traders and craftsmen need licences from the tower to operate within the bounds of its holdings. So the first guilds started forming, The first being the Guild of Greenfields (a group of Mercanaries that been hiring themselves out to protect traders within the City of Bano'Sand and on trading missions to other worlds.

Nuremous Leaders of Guilds recieved an invitation to come to the Crystal Tower for an meeting of importance. When they arrive they discover a Crystal Hall, to the south of the tower which the all directed to, and equal number of mages to those invited waiting for them, After hours of explaination and debate the mages explain that they want balance between mages and the rest of the popluation of the city, so agreed to create a new Senate of equal parts Mages and Normals, called form the Guild Leaders. Each side could decided how decided on their members. Which would be total of 300 members (150 mages and 150 from the rest of the city)
