Republic of Amauta

The Republic of Amauta was a state in northwestern Nuimucand. Clockwise it bordered the , , the Kingdom of Lihanna and the Forest-Kingdom of Juddauril.

History
In the waning days of 424 AGC, after the cataclysmic Autumn of Spores, the Kingdom of Amauta (176 - 424 AGC) had fallen. The monarchy had lost its grip on the tribal confederacies, due to mismanagement, bad living conditions for anyone not affiliated to the nobility, and a short period of worsening climate factors in the northern and northeastern parts of Nuimucand. These rogue fenangi rose up against their own elite, and also raided the northern regions of the Forest-Kingdom to the south.

Some of the fenangi confederacies tried to stay neutral with their southern neighbours however, and chose to solely target the monarchy. After a few weeks of intense struggle, the former capital of Ei'min was razed to the ground, and the entire royal family was murdered, their heads put on pikes on the public square, for everyone to see. The Kingdom of Amauta practically ceased to exist by late Baretree. A provisional government was installed, comprised of both fenangi and sympathetic humans from the eastern hinterlands. A stalemate (and eventual peace treaty) was hastily put in order with the Forest-Kingdom, and the fenangi tribes that didn't recognise the sovereignty of the government were either locked up or massacred.

In early Petalsong of 425 AGC, the newly formed Peat Council (an elected group of representatives consisting of both fenangi and humans), announced the conception of the Republic of Amauta. The capital was moved from Ei'min (which was in ruins, after all) to Islenbace, situated on the southeastern coast of the eponymous island. The island had been predominantly settled by humans, but fenangi representatives moved there and built their own district in the city.

Geography
The coastline was dominated by the expansive Amauta Marsh, which was a largely impenetrable bog that grew thicker with vegetation as you went further inland. East of the marshes the terrain gradually transitioned into woodlands and forests, towards the Amauta-Lihannese border. To the south the marshes give way into the mixed forests of the Juddauril peninsula. To the north the low plains and wetlands of Amauta were interrupted by the  Mountains, which were its natural borders with . The only other higher terrain of the state was located on the Islenbace island: Mount Aredên.
