Irdtrax

The Lost Scion War (20 - 77), a war to bring a richer city into the fold, ended with the birth of a new republic. It member states were Tharuzbaluk, the loser of said war, now the administrative capital, followed by Hagurthand and its strong army and navy, yet poor economy, then the oldest of city-state of the north, Arazindam, the founder of them all, and the fast growing port of Duluk-Zirag. Named Irdtrax after the one who conceived of a larger state, its government became one representative of broader interests, replacing the mercantile interests that had been running things for three centuries.

For the Church of Mammon, backers of the old syndicates, the Irdtrax Republic hurt Mammon's influence; his die-hard proselytizers preaching - "laws, accounting, and controls, hurt profits". A decade later, after the closing of the last Church of Mammon in Hagurthand, news got out that it was the schemes of Tarâk's worshipers that brought about the great change, ending the reign of mercantile lords as rich as surface kings.

By the Second Epoch, controlling harbors on two seas, north on the Cthorgo and south on the shores of the Green Nebulous, with widespread monopolies on moving goods and people, Irdtrax found itself at the center of a multi-front war. The Tradeway Wars (1131 - 1231), blamed on Irdtrax's domination of the shipping lanes of two seas and many of their rivers, resulted in the loss of Duluk-Zirag.

In 1306, backed by soldiers and money from the Orchish Empire, Arazindam declared its independence.

In the Raefknar War, attacked by the forces of Dvr'jiss, Irdtrax lost the city of Yastorogg.
