The Conflict
Prelude
Before the uprising, the Othron Empire held Abrana as a puppet state since 1042. Abrana, in that period, was forced to pay 40% taxes to the Othron Empire without getting anything in return.
Outcome
The Othron Empire prepared an invasion and landed in the region 2 weeks after the uprising started. Abrana was prepared and fended off the initial attack.
Aftermath
After the initial attack, Derwyn Callan sent his second in command for negotiations. After the decapitation and returnal of his head, Derwyn decided to go himself. He made it clear that Abrana would be an independant continent or destroy itself trying. A truce was signed, with strong trade deals being enforced from the Othron Empire. A hesitant cold war followed in the decades following.
Historical Significance
Legacy
Abrana has been an independant region acknowledged by all other countries since. Due to family ties, Abrana has prosperous ties with the Othron Empire noawadays.
