The Brear (The Behar) Part 2 - .26 Wiki Wednesday

Hi everyone,

The Brear Part 2! Can you remind the Wiki Wednesday from two weeks ago - here the link if you haven't seen it -  and that I carefully suggested there will be three wiki wednesdays about the Brear? Well, I was wrong! Because men this is a story to tell!

We left off at the day the Erosians conquered the region of Breasia in the year 191, and in the old planning i was going to continue the story in the year 200 - with the "First Rebellion of the Brear". But then we would have to skip nine turbulent years, with numerous events in the world that are important to the story of the Brear. The Nemisian Civil War is raging trough the realm, and the rebellious Selene gets imprisoned in these years, which would reflect on the attitude the Erosians have on the Brear.

So in the end that didn't seem like such a good idea to me, to deny you access to so much important information that is needed to know the ins and outs of the Brear. On the other hand it does give you the most complex and extensive story to read so far - win-win right?

So lets continue with Part 2 of the Brear: The aftermath of the conquest and the bringing of Erosian culture to the lands of the Brear.

Gonna read along?

Background

After the siege of Tracabra (the biggest town in Breasia by inhabitants) in the year 186, the conquest of Breasia by the Erosians entered another phase. It became more difficult for the armies of Eros to put down the small rebellions in the backlands because of the deep forests and other impassable lands that lie in Braesia. It also didn’t helped that the vast network of the Brass Hags were working against the Erosians and had spies throughout the region.

Finally in the year 191 it was that the remaining rebellious tribes of the Brear surrendered to the mighty legions of Herculon II and Xenetor “The Cold”. The great leader of Tracabra, Vortisar “The Unfair”, had already allied himself with Eros in the first year of the conquest after the armies of Xenetor and Herculon lay siege against his city, but now all other leaders of the Breasian hides bowed before emperor Herculon. Vortisar was named a vassal lord of the Erosians and remained in power after the siege of Tracabra.

For the following nine years the region would know a so-to-say peace - some minor rebellions against the regime aside - and it could even be said that the region prospered under the new gained wisdom of the realm. In this period a large degree of urbanization followed in these previously untouched areas and roads and trading posts were built by the erosians.

One of the biggest “novelties” the realm brought in this period was the written word. Most of the Brear used the erosian writing systems at start, but the hags who survived the conquest wars invented a new writing system based on their oral tradition in the form of runes.

After the great armies of Eros left the region, it was the task of the bureaucrats and officials of the realm to ensure that the region of Breasia would become encapsulated into the realm, as soon as possible.

One of the first impetus for this was made by Pegtorios from Akrothera, one of the newly appointed consuls of the area who advocated in the senate for the construction of a road from Aganium to Phoclyos. The road would logically have to run through the newly claimed territory of Breasia, which made him - according to himself - the right person to take on this important task because of his knowledge about the people and culture of Breasia. 

However, the Senate didn't immediately budge to his request. Criticism came from several quarters - mainly from senators and magistrates from the island of Karission who saw their monopoly on trade between Hellissia and Polodorii disappear. That is why it was not immediately decided to build a road between Aganium and Phoclyos, and a smaller building project was executed that would ensure that a cobblestone road would be built between Aganium and Tacabra. Partly because of this, a large part of the inhabitants of Breasia mastered the language of the Erosians within a few years and trade began to flourish.
