"The area now encompassed by the Duchy of Svarenyo was once divided into various fiefdoms, ruled by a dozen different warlords. The three most prominent clans were the Svarenyan, Tasani and Dasanov clans who controlled nearly three-quarters of the territory and imposed their will upon their lesser neighbours. The land remained fractured and at war for several decades before a great war broke out between the Svarenyan and Dasanov clans, and their respective allies. The war threatened to ravage the entire land irrevocably. Fearing the senseless destruction and death, Lord Tasani marched his army between the competing Svarenyan and Dasanov forces to broker a treaty. Tasani's March, as it would come to be known, ended the Svarenyan-Dasanov War and ended with the formal creation of a new nation. The Svarenyan Duke Torgo I bargained from a position of strength and gained executive and legislative control over the burgeoning country. The treaty dictated however, that the Duke's power should be tempered by a Senior Council formed of diplomats from several of the most powerful clans in the region, with the balance of power resting in the hands of the Tasani and Dasanov. The intervening years were spent largely with bickering between the different clans as they struggled for power within the Duchy and the Senior Council. The Svarenyans maintained a delicate control over the Duchy's leadership and upon his death, Torgo I passed the mantle of control to his designated heir. Torgo II's rule was uneventful and he followed his father practices for 11 years before dying of heart complications. After his death, the Tasani clan managed to wrest control of the government away from the Svarenyans in a series of political maneuverings and placed the first Tasani Duke in the Palace of the Sands: Duke Aekon I. Under Aecon's leadership the nation flourished, but political scheming reached drastic heights and for several months the various clans seemed ready to dissolve the union entirely. Aekon abdicated after ruling for a mere 3 years and Duke Torgo III assumed the throne, restoring the Svarenyan Supremacy and ushering in the current era of Svarenyan government. The Duchy continues to grow under the leadership of Torgo III and despite the current Duke's preference for maintaining a low profile, the nation has maintained strong peaceful ties with its neighbours and alliance members."@en .
