The Skeleton Republic

The Skeleton Republic was formed from the remnants of Wielder’s skeleton forces that he allowed to leave. The skeletons moved into the savanna territory to the south of Maxwell‘s castle during the Fence Era.

History
At the beginning of the Fence Era, something changed. The dead became graveless, the dead began to rise all over Maxwell’s Fenced in area. The Great Death had wiped out 98% of all human life, the last 2% died out because of an extremely low population density. The Constant became a mass grave, but magic disturbed their resting place. Skeletons starting rising up and tried to make sense of their new world, with only few memories of their days as humans, they had to rebuild their lives in a world full of monsters and strange magical phenomena. The Animalian Kingdoms survived the horrendous pandemic and had been advancing in technology and magic. The skeletons had to band together in order to survive, they collected in the wide open savanna just south of Maxwell’s castle. They learned to tame the local beefalo and ride them. They erected villages and defenses and they fought the giants that threatened their existence. Shortly after the Skeletons had started becoming civilized, Wielder and company passed through the savanna on their way to the Pig Kingdom to retrieve the Mud Gem. This Skeleton civilization did not last long though, Maxwell had heard of the Skeletons rising and had started capturing them to make a slave army, so he saw the civilization as an expansion opportunity. Maxwell sent in his army to capture the skeletons, and a battle ensue, the defending skeletons were no match for Maxwell’s formal army, and they lost and were captured. For four years, the savanna remained unoccupied until Wielder, now king of the Boar Kingdom, allowed his skeleton army and population to go follow in the footsteps of their brothers and sisters, but he warned them of the risk, the Skeletons were still eager to go. The new Skeleton population started developing the land, but were threatened again by Maxwell and his allies. They were attacked by Treeguards from the East, Pigs from the West, and Maxwell‘s army from the north, but the new Skeleton Republic held firm. With aid from their parent faction, the Skeleton Republic defeated every invasion into their territory. After the Boar Kingdom won the Second Light and Shadow War And the end of the Fence Era, they recognized the full independence of the Skeleton Republic and were given territory in the new world.

Society
The Skeleton Republic is what we would call a democratic republic, similar to the USA. The primary language of the nation is Animailian, but German is a close second.
