The Brear (The Behar) . 24 (Wiki Wednesday)
Added 2023-01-11 20:50:22 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Do you know that feeling when you are telling a story and you go like: "You know what, you won't understand this part if i not tell you what happened before...".
That exact feeling has crept on my not one, but two times while writing this new Wiki Wednesday! Because i wanted to tell you about the Second Rebellion of the Brear, with great heroes as Ucrugur and Leoncrates.
But well, you cannot understand the reasons of the second rebellion if you don't know why the first rebellion of the Brear happened? and well than it would be ignorant of me to expect you would get anything about these rebellions at all if you don't even know anything about the conquest of Breasia?
So here we are 33 years in the past at the start of the conquest of Brear and their region of Breasia in the year 186, and i have to say i even wrote that down in a summary...
So long story short, there is a lot to tell and explain to you legends and this is not going to fit in only one Wiki Wednesday. So lets start at the beginning : The Conquest of Breasia.
Let's go!
P.s You can find the link to the entire wiki page here if you want the extra information about the Brear society and government: The Brear.

Background
The Brear were the original inhabitants of the Breasia region in Aurea and lived there long before the unification of the Realm of Eros in the year 1 AAC by Aeson I. They Brear themselves even say they are descendants of mountain trolls who lived in Breasia even before the coming of the spirits and gods.
Although the region of Breasia lies almost exactly between the cities of City of Eros and Aganium, this region – and its inhabitants – has been able to live in freedom as an independent tribe for decades. The reason for this freedom is quite simple to name. Where the Polodorri and the region of Helissia – except for some hilly areas – are almost flat, the area of Breasia is a hilly mountain range without many natural resources. In addition, no major rivers pass through the area of Breasia.Therefore, the Erosians ignored this area for a long time and preferred to use sea routes to connect Aganium and the surrounding towns and villages with the rest of the realm,
It was actually only around the end of the weak emperor’s (Herculon II‘) reign in the year 181 that the Erosians and Brear came into conflict with each other, which can even be blamed on the aggressive culture of the Brear. It must be said, however, that the Erosian settlers moved further and further into the area of the Brear and sometimes even took over the good, fertile lands that were very important for the food supply of the Brear, so the Erosians were certainly not blameless either.
Where the Erosians had a high culture with great buildings and statues, the Brear were still an underdeveloped people who mainly lived in forests and in small towns, in fact there was even only one village that had grown out of the clods that was known: Tracabra. Tracabra was by far the largest Hide in the lands of the Brear, and therefore the leader of Tracabra was also the richest and most powerful leader in the region.
The Brear who lived on the fringes of the Breasia area began to plague and plunder the frontier villages of the Erosians. It was at this point that the Erosians asked for help and demanded strong action from the new emperor Herculon III around the year 186. It was not possible at this time for the Western Erosian army to give a strong response to the violence of the Breasians and therefore, in addition to the Western army, the help of the Southern Erosian army led by Xenetor “The Cold “.
Where the Brear produced more powerful hags in later years, this was not the case in the early years of the conquest. The Brear did not yet have a writing system at this time, so all spells and powers were passed on orally to younger generations. As a result, the attack spells of the Hags of the Brear were no match for the violence and effectiveness of Eros’ highly trained army.
The only advantage the Brear had was the area itself. They alone were acquainted with all the hills, woods and little streams that traversed this country, and they made use of them. Thanks to a long connected past with these lands, the Brear were able to wage a long guerrilla war against the Erosians.
While the outer areas were still free of Erosian influences for a long time, the same could not be said of the larger Hides. It didn’t help that the majority of the Brear Hides were also at war with each other. It has therefore only happened a few times in these years that the Brear could raise a large army against the Erosians. Most villages and areas were already conquered after the first year of conquest, for example the city of Tracabra fell within a few months after the arrival of the armies of Xenetor “The Cold”, also a young Alexos “The Wolf” (then not yet known as the wolf), Tempos “The Bowman” and Eridius were parts of the Erosians Southern Army and got their first experience with war in the lands of the Brear.
