HISTORY
“Where you see this barren land… I see a place in which we can finally live in harmony.”
-First Prime King of Sumatat, Geoffrey Ureilaff
They say it was not many years ago that Sumatat was founded by a group of exiled elves who had begun living with humans. They quickly prospered between the combination of elves long life and human ingenuity. Of course as a result many Half-elves were born throughout the years. And they still are. It’s just as common in Sumatat to see a half elf as a human. Of course it’s not unusual anywhere that racial tensions go up and down from time to time.
“Why do you let this filth penetrate the traditions we hold so dear my brothers!? We must cleanse the land of the Half-breed blasphemy!”
-Street Preacher, Corey the Sullen
Sumatat grew and prospered as a coastal trade town, being in the ideal position for it. The government changed over time and its land expanded into the mountains to the west and then past that a bit. What was a city state became a country. The government changed and grew into a Oligarchy. It was ruled by a council made to represent the people’s interests.
“It is at this time that we declare: What was once the city of Sumatat is now the Capitol city within the borders (defined in Section XIV) of the Nation of Sivierel. Rejoice and prosper my friends, we are free!”
-New Constitution of Sivierel
It continues to prosper as young country that has yet to take part in war.
