The Republic of Omeran
Founded one thousand years ago, the Republic of Omeran is the nation formed after several city-states successfully established their independence from the Dregrothian Empire in the conflict known as The Last War. The Republic of Omeran is a democratic nation that enforces law and order, and regulates commerce in the western half of Histaeria.
Omeran is the largest territory in the world of Histaeria. Dominating the entire western hemisphere from north to south. It shares borders with two other territories; the Dregrothian Empire and the Principality of Skypiea. Omeran is home to a wide variety of biomes including prairies, old growth forests, high mountains and coastal landscapes of all varieties. Several areas in Omeran have been cultivated to provide fertile farming land, especially prominent in the southern region of the territory.
There are three major cities in Omeran: Redhesle, Holbone and Stagkeep. Redhesle and Holbone are in the North. Stagkeep sits near the border of Skypiea. Holbone covers the largest area in terms of city size but the merciless northern landscapes allow for only the heartiest fellows to thrive. Redhesle serves as the bastion of law and order, the unofficial seat of power in Omeran. Stagkeep is the smallest of the Omeran cities. It serves the region as a hub of trade with Skypiea.
Omeran is under the influence of all four seasons. Winters in the northernmost areas like Redhesle and Holbone will often see snow. Holbone being the furthest North sees the heaviest winters. The Southern Peninsula rarely sees much snow.
Structure
The nation is comprised of three separate city-states, each with their duly elected leaders. The title borne by the leader of the city is the Senator. This ensures each city is represented and neatly falls under the banner of the Republic. This arrangement ensures that uniform laws, trade regulation and protection between the three cities of Redhesle, Stagkeep and Holbone is conducted to mutual benefit. The Omeran Assembly is the collective title of the seven senators that represent respective communities within the realm.
Internally, each Senator works tirelessly and competitively to ensure the prosperity of their constituents. The Senators have guilds and notable individuals that are charged with organization and management of businesses and resources as ordered by the Senator.
When a Senator dies, they are succeeded by their closest surviving immediate family member who is of adult age. An election is then held in the next Spring, upon the anniversary of the first official Omeran election. The individual elected at that time continues to serve for life.

• Senator Caleb De Posto - the human male senator of Redhesle • Senator Anne Delici - the human female senator of the collective satellite territories of the south • Senator Umbrae Kilathor - the elven female senator who represents the various elf communities as well as the hidden city of Ilyva Asari • Senator Brevin Krakhammer - the dwarven male senator who represents the interest of many dwarven communities (notably, Berngardr) • Senator Laydene - a Kalashtar female who represents the city of Stagkeep and island communities • Senator Forger - an elderly Warforged, the newest senator, represents the left over Warforged veterans of the Last War that have been relegated to Holbone and Everfrost, a small city in northern half of the country • Senator Onethia Dawnweaver Agu-Ulithi - the Goliath female senator who represents the roaming barbarian tribes of the NorthPublic Agenda
The foundations of the Republic of Omeran are to ensure freedom and prosperity for all races and creeds.
Assets
Despite their long-passed war of independence, tension and unease have always tainted the relationship between the Republic of Omeran and Dregroth. It is worth mentioning that Omeran holds a standing force of roughly 27,500 soldiers - force known as the Liberation Watch. Roughly 15,000 are divided between three main cities. 2500 are at the stationed in the realms near two forts, Shrewd (typically has closer to 3000) and Folly, respectively. The Republic has a naval force of 200 ships. The remaining soldiers are either stationed at sea, patrolling, and ensuring safety on the roads between the numerous small towns or conducting protection missions for guilds and key figures.
History
The territory that was once the Dregrothian Empire spanned all of Omeran. The nation was ruled by a single royal family for numerous generations. During the early days of the Empire it was believed that their influence covered not only what is modern day Omeran but also large areas of Skypiea and all of Dregroth. In fact, the Last War between Dregroth and Omeran was caused by a rebellion where members of various races and creeds rose against the Empire. The royal family was deposed and now their descendants are believed to be the current rulers of Dregrothian Empire.
The catalyst of the rebellion was due to racial inequality and religious persecution, features that are still prominent within Dregroth. Discrimination was fairly rampant before the senate assumed control and established members of all races to be represented amongst the leadership. Prior to this, power was held firmly by the royal families that were mainly comprised of elves, humans and the occasional half-elf.
It is the belief based on research into the lineage of the fallen royal families that members of the esteemed houses may have managed to survive the purge. They theorize that the descendants of the old kings still reside in Omeran, albeit unaware of their ancient royal line.
After numerous skirmishes, the seat of power in Omeran has moved to Redhesle from Holbone. While the three cities all possess members of The Omeran Assembly as heads of their communities, several fringe groups and satellite regions are also represented.
