A history of Abdol, in short.
![]()
Abdol had always been a nation of pride and power. Serving as what would be considered a counter balance to Craydonian expansion in the West, it soon became the second strongest nation in the known world.
It was founded, as many of the other kingdoms, by a few hunter-gatherers and collections of villages in the region that now makes up the Kingdom of Rakil. As many other nations began rising around it, they we're soon captured and assimilated into Abdol to assure no nation could stand to its might. This kept occurring until the war of the South Sea.
The War of the South Sea, as it is known, arose when Craydonia- then just about reaching the height of its power- began looking for southern ports in the warm, blue waters of the South Sea. The Abolians meanwhile had been pushing to the north, and the north-east, where they hit the Empire. The clash more or less defined the regions borders as we know them today. While neither side actually won, as neither gained what they had been fighting for, it had, to this point, destroyed Craydonian interest in the region and greatly weakened the once proud Abdolian military.
Creul, its southern neighbor, saw this as a chance to strike.
Creul, as it was, always considered itself Abdolian- though, they retained their independence to go their own way. This led to a lot of distrust between the two states and a bit of racism on behalf of the Abdolians. However, Creul was too weak to really mount a serious offensive against their powerful neighbors, let alone defend from one. Seeing the destroyed Abdolian countryside and severely weakened forces, the Creuls quickly crossed the border, killing the split up and surprised Abdolian military.
Sensing defeat, the remaining units of the military formed together around what is now the land compromising the states and General Yulida took command of the battered forces. He somehow staved off several years of both Creul and on occasion Craydonian results in the area. The war was at a stalemate until Esaya- who had been offered territory by Creul- arrived in large numbers to the Abdolian west. Meanwhile, the Creulians hammered them from the east. What resulted was a long and bloody fight to the capital at Rakil, and it seemed that each mile they took was harder to gain than the last. Finally, the two weary armies came to a halt on the outskirts of the Abdol capital.
The Creulians retreated: too many losses have been sustained. The Abdolians were too weak to commit to a counter-offensive, not to mention they had the Esayans to deal with in the North. A peace, had to be signed.
The Treaty of Rakil- the result of peace negotiations- more or or less ceded almost half of Abdol to Creul. It was a massive moral blow to Abdol, and a mix of a embarrassment, destruction, and finger pointing slowly led to mistrust amongst the various regions of the once great nation.
The final blow came when a revolution began in Eastern Abdol. Many people were upset with the unfavorable terms that the treaty of Rakil entailed and refused to acknowledge it as a valid document. Fearing the start of another war with Creul, the King of Abdol sent a few thousand soldiers, a good portion of the remaining army, under the leadership of Axel Harahan.
But Harahan, upon seeing the rebels, began sympathizing with their cause. When a royal detachment of troops were sent to see what was taking him so long, he dismissed them. A civil war had begun.
The war quickly turned into several civil wars, each region rallying for their independence. Seeing how massively out numbered they were, the royal troops retreated back to Rakil and remain their today. The other nations born out of this have long since reconciled their differences. As calls to reunited become more and more common, a blur is beginning to be seen between being Abdolian, and say, Yulidian.
Their future lies uncertain.
