The Secessionist Principalities
The Secessionist Principalities, also known as the States of the Seditious Princes, are a collection of independent states that broke away from the Principality of Kolha following the death of Prince Kolha XVIII in 1250 AI.
History 🔗
Formation 🔗
After the death of Kolha XVIII, his seven children formed a coalition that refused to accept a new prince appointed from mainland Ahuria. They argued that a mainland-appointed prince could never truly understand the unique socio-political situation of the Kolhan lands and their proximity to historical rivals.
The coalition commissioned a grand fleet to blockade the Mirian shore, attempting to prevent the arrival of the newly ordained Kolha XIX. However, mainland Ahurian forces, supported by privateers and mercenaries from Manascula, Tanduaria, and Nura, eventually broke through.

While these states have successfully maintained their independence from Kolha, they remain in a complex political relationship with the greater Ahurian Empire, from which they've effectively seceded.
