Difference between revisions of "Hashan"

The Crown has been known for Achaea's first complex legal system, having surpassed both ancient Ashtan and Shallam in governmental politics. The Seneschal [[Elentari]] originally wrote the comprehensive city charter. The policies of Hashan are recorded in a single, albeit large, text called the '''[[Laws_of_Hashan|Great Canon of Hashan]]''' which can be found in a bookshelf in the [[News|newsroom]].

The history of Hashan's patronship is comprised of five Gods: Twilight, Ourania, Valnurana, Neraeos, and Thoth, and can be essentially subdivided into four distinct "eras". The "First Era" starts with the founding of the city with Lord Twilight at its helm in 222 AF, recruiting first the newly [[ascension|ascended]] Lady Ourania into a co-patronship called the "Diad" and later Lady Valnurana to form the [[Triad of the Night]]. For a little over a full century this Triad governed Hashan, rotating patronship before Lord Twilight quit the city in 332 AF and the "Second Era" began. Hashan's Regency at that time, Senechaled by '''Caleth Le'Murzen''', decided to sever Hashan's ties with Twilight after feeling betrayed by the circumstances and being repeatedly [[worldburn|worldburned]] unprovoked by Twilight's [[Divine Order|Order]]. Hashan thus enlisted the aid of Lord [[Neraeos]], God of the Sea and the Nerai to rid the Crown's saturation of Dark [[shrine|shrines]] and help them win their independence. Ladies Ourania and Valnurana had long since fallen into their decades-long slumber, so Lord Neraeos agreed to patron the city on the condition that He would be allowed to relinquish His office as quoted: "to its rightful Matrons" when either Lady Ourania or Valnurana had reawoken. This "Second Era" saw the introduction of new Divine citizens in support of Hashan, including Lords [[Matsuhama]], God of Combat and [[Vastar]] of the Skies. In 385 AF, the Sea God's promise was fulfilled and Neraeos left the city in the hands of a newly returned Ourania. She then matroned the city-state for the next century, defining Hashan's "Third Era". In 485 AF, under the Seneschalship of '''Saltaern Sioraiocht''', the "Fourth Era" began after the replacement of Lady Ourania with Lord Thoth, the God of Death, and continues to this day.
