The Kingdom of Zeon

The Kingdom of Zeon has been in existence since the end of the Krussian civil wars.

=Geography= Zeon is located in the far north of Dutraya. Most of Zeon is covered in temperate to subarctic grasslands, while the northern coasts are too cold for grass to grow. Part of the southern border of Zeon is the Mere, a large lake, and the Deikun mountains. East of the Mere is an area called "the Desert" although it technically is a desert receiving less than 4 cm of rain per season, the temperature is mildly temperate.

=History=

Pre-modern times
The Zeon people have lived in the frozen parts of northern Krussia since ancient times. The ancient Zeon seem to have been a seafaring people with legends of heroes journeying across the sea to lands of milk and honey. Indeed, many ancient Zeon artifacts, mainly axes and hammers, have been found in Lideria.

Krussian Conquest
Around four hundred seasons before the foundation of the Kingdom(BF), the ancient Zeon were conquered by the Krussians to the south. The Krussian rulers treated the Zeon minority somewhat poorly, but not much differently than the poor Krussians.

Zum Deikun
In about 60 BF, a Zeon philosopher by the name of Zum Deikun began spreading the idea of a sovereign Zeon nation. He advocated a simple agricultural life and peace when it was necessary, but he also preached about freedom from all government. He led an unsuccessful rebellion in 51 BF and was executed by the Krussian government. He is called the Father of Zeon.

Krussian Civil War and Independence
In 5 BF, Krussia splintered into several small nations that warred over the land under the banner of many different ideas. During the conflict, a Zeon man of high esteem, who served with Deikun in the failed rebellion, named Degwin Zabi rallied a militia of Zeon and began guerrilla warfare on the Krussian armies. The Zeon Militia often followed large battles and ambushed the tired and worn survivors.

After five seasons, Zabi declared a Kingdom of Zeon in the northern Dutraya under control of the Militia. The Kingdom was recognized by the United Dominion of Emencia and the Autocratic Dominion of Thaymar. The latter two nations would partition Krussia.

Civil War
In AF 6, King Degwin Zabi died. The late King's will stated that his youngest son Garma Zabi would become King. Degwin's oldest son, Gihren, challenged this, but seeing that the Parliament would vote in Garma, Gihren moved to Londenion in southern Zeon claiming to be King. A short civil war would ensue ending in the Battle of the Snow in which the Royal Army defeated Gihren's forces. Gihren fled Zeon after his army's defeat.
