Obalan (Oficially the Obalan Republic) is a country on the Sirius Realms server. It is located roughly in the center of the northern portion of the continent. It border Rodarth to the West, Phenaxia to the North and East, Otterael to the South, and Tethoris to the extreme Southwest. It currently only consists of one town (Port Obalan), and one province (North Obalan).

Meta History

The earliest claims over Obalia were by ayboss on April 5th, who claimed areas of Western Obalan up to Lake Origin. Further east parts were claimed by what would briefly be Northern Oshyai. Early claims squabbled back and forth some time, eventually landing on the entire area being claimed by Tethoris. This claim did not stand by the mapmakers, and the area was deemed uninhabited by the mapmakers. It was eventually claimed by Dan_Hominem on 13 April, with a major and minor claim. The staff decided to accept the major claim, giving Obalan its current borders.

Historical Lore

Obalan was originally claimed and lightly settled by settlers from Tethoris, though the area proved hard to control and was very sparsely populated. After some time, a small group of settlers in modern day Port Obalan declared an independent village in an area that was no longer even claimed on maps of Tethoris. They quickly began to develop land further due west, leading to the borders today.

Political Lore

The original Obalan Republic was a provisional state ran by Tan Fao-Glizda, who oversaw the country and attempted to move the country towards democracy. When hostilities with Phenaxia rose, General Fadnathinkali commited a coup d'Etat, removeing Fao-Glizda from power. Fadnathinkali then made Obalan one of the founding states of the Halcyon empire, with Phenaxia declaring war shortly after. The Halycon Empire did not last long, and quickly collapsed. Obalan came out of this collapse, reforming into the Vatnathingarian Empire, which was a short-lived military dictatorship that lasted until the conclustion of the Obalan-Phenaxia war. After the war, Obalan reformed once more into the Second Obalan Republic, with Kaprihel Fao-Glizda as its prime minister.

In-Game History

Founding of Port Obalan

Port Obalan is the first city in Obalan, and takes advantage of it's position on Lake Obalan to establish itself as a major inland shipping and trade center.

Dispute with Phenaxia

On the third day of Obalan history, it was noticed by explorers that Phenaxia had constructed a makeshift bridge blocking their shared river. Both countries worked together on what is now known as the "Peace Bridge", as Borkulus and Amthyric worked on the bridge as a symbol of future prosperity. However, due to a misunderstanding of the map and placement of the border, Phenaxians accidentally built on Obalan territory twice. After the second dispute was solved, Obalan converted an abandoned framework of a Phenaxian village into Fort Oppenheimer, which stands as the largest military installation in Obalan. The construction of this base has been largely viewed as an act of hostility to Phenaxia, who has called for its dismantling on numerous occasion. Though the two countries are at peace and officially have neutral relations, tensions still remain high.
