Eiselmin

Eiselmin, also known as the City of Thieves, was the capitol of Strumas. It was established by Baron Strumax Dashtath in 831 IE, as a safe-haven for stateless individuals and outcasts.

History
When the Balchrin Empire discovered Strumas in 854 IE, the empire immediately declared war against the "monstrous heathen" that inhabited the desert nation. This ignited the War for Strumas, which ended in 858 IE, with Dashtath coming out victorious.

In 912 IE, Dashtath died of old age. During a nationwide mourning, the Balchrin Empire took over and placed Jonn Highguard in charge of the city of Eiselmin.

Fifty years into his hold on Eiselmin, in 964 IE, Highuard was assassinated by a band of Dray. Lady Liliana Machinov was then placed in control. While she was an entity of the Balchrin Empire, she was the first to try to rebuild relations with the native Strumans. This attempt was largely unsuccessful.

In the year 1024 IE, Strumas delcared itself a sovereign nation, separating itself from Camaros. They elected Brex Dashtath, a descendant of Strumax Dashtath, as their leader.
