Ancient Tuefmark

The Ancient Tuefmark civilization was the first civilization to arise on Utaros. In the late wilderness area, the emerald sea between Tuefmark and Eimav began to experience heavy trade as sailors travelled to deliver goods and resources between coastal tribes. The sea was famous for its strong winds, unexplored islands and abundant trading villages.

The most prominent and influential coastal town was the basis for the future ancient Tuefmark civilization. The trading city was very wealthy and was one of the wealthiest cities on Utaros at the time.

At the time of Tuefmark's founding, the city had a population of 5,258. A very highly populated city for the time.

The city was governed by a council of its most influential citizens. Namely the tribal leaders of nearby villages and the wealthiest traders. Though for the most part, the city was very free and had little governance.

Pirates were very common at the time and the city had defenses to protect themselves from the consistent threat. The city had a small stationed army and though attacks were less than other areas, they still happened periodically.

When the Iron Fleet raided the city, the attack was devastating. The people were furious and the people declared war against the Iron Fleet. This was the beginning of the Tuefmark Civilization. To amass the army needed to destroy the Iron Fleet, the council united the city with nearby coastal villages and towns under a single government. To handle the new found responsibility, the council handed over power to its most prominent member.

This man later became monarch. He coined the name for the collection of towns as "The Assembly of Tuefmark". This was the first sovereign nation on Utaros.

This first leader fought in battles with his men, albeit from a distance as a general. He was 28 when he became leader. At the age of 31 he passed during a battle with the Iron Fleet. At the age of 31 he died in battle with the Iron Fleet. His brother then became leader.

His brother was older than him and already had a wife and children upon taking up the reins. After only one year, he temporarily passed on control to one of the generals. This general was leader for ten years, five of those years were after the war ended. This was due to mainland military movements in preparation for conquest and expansion of the assembly.
