Hircine was once a nation of Elves. Their hierarchy has since been interrupted by the arrival of the Humans. They came in fleets, and took siege over the nation. Although Hircine is an autocratic monarchy, the Humans still influence the King’s decisions as their ideas fuel his greed. A few years after the Humans settled in Hircine, they began to enter Arkath with hostility, intent of overtaking their government and resources. They knew Arkath was rich in all sorts of natural deposits- hundreds of acres of forest, coal, diamond, gold, fish and thousands of species of wildlife. They wanted it.
Arkath was taken by surprise- the mass fleets of humans terrorized the castle and the surrounding tribes and clans. The government was composed by Arkath humans- they were a small population that shared most beliefs with the tribes and clans, and were generally trusted by them. The enemy humans began a coup d’état, and overthrew the government. To save his nation from destruction, the King surrendered majority of his power into a constitutional monarchy. He was now simply a figurehead, with little power, surrounded by a constitution of Hircine officials. The parliament allowed the rapid industrialization of Arkath. Cities were built, and tribes were taken hostage. Some of these hostages were used for slavery, others just taken as the Hircine radicals supported Supremacy.
For some people, this created work. They were being exposed for their work- they faced cruelty, long work hours and dangerous working conditions. They were paid a scantily low amount, and were often whipped and beaten if they didn’t do a proper job. The King was distressed by the treatment, but he didn’t have enough power to do anything about it.
DO YOU HAVE THE POWER?
