Play.net Description: Zoluren's capital city is a bustling center of trade.

Government, history, and background

Government type

The Crossing is home to the central government of Zoluren, a principality that is passed down through familial succession to the oldest child (Note: the succession may be primarily via the oldest son, but women have held the throne in the past). The government was founded by Prince Blaeduan Guemos in 230 BL with the division of Imperial land into the current five sovereign states.

The succession was interrupted by the Dragon Priests in 193 BL when most of Zoluren was conquered. The entire Guemos family was executed the following year, and it was Prince Waemirit Denesal who took the throne when the government was restored in 1 AV. The Denesal family was deposed after riots in 82 AV, and Prince Keogath Chelochi took the throne.

Civil war broke out in 196 AV and Prince Belirendrick Sorvendig I managed to wrest control of throne in 198 AV. His reign was relatively short though, as he was deposed and imprisoned in 202 AV by the new Prince Tragweth Alshaerd. The Alshaerds suffered a catastrophe in 277 AV, when their estates were destroyed along with the rest of Darkstone and civil war flared back up the following year. Prince Mysimos Alshaerd was killed in 280 AV and Prince Belirendrick Sorvendig the Second took power, establishing the current line of succession.
