Republic of Laurentia

A nation that is currently a democratic republic on the continent of Chrome. It is south of the beast kingdom

Background
The tragedy of Laurentia happened 150 years ago but it is rooted in the events from 200 years ago. At that time a king who hated the Beast Kingdom but didn't have sufficient strength to fight them was willing to do anything and recruited a fiendmancer to show him ways to use the power of the evil one. He sacrificed souls of slaves to the evil one and in time became a fiendmancer himself. He would use this strength to summon an army of goblins. He also raised taxes and anyone who couldn't pay was used as a sacrifice. He was deposed in a rebellion and the royal family were all enslaved and shipped out to the western frontier to work clearing land, fighting monsters and helping charities there. Meanwhile Laurentia became a democratic republic. The royal family were expected to die but thrived and were so successful that they became popular enough that 50 years after those events (150 years ago) they were freed and exonerated by the state. But the gods were still angry and cursed them leading to them all dying. This lesson showed that the Gods view events on a different time scale and take very seriously working with the evil one.
