Early 1900s
Radiolia, (meaning beacon of light in their native language) had been a bloodbath of civil war, hatred, and poverty. For almost a century. The Grand War as it was called , finally ended in 1946, in a treaty, known as the Pact of Swords. The Population was now a mere 7million. Nowhere near the pre war populace. Two political parties rose from the ashes of the fallen kingdom. The Populares, meaning the Population., and the Optimates, meaning the Large Government. The Populares were led by themselves with no true head figure. The Optimates were led by Orian Geskin.
Mid 1900s
The Populares and Optimates fought political battles for almost twenty years. In the beginning, the two parties attempted to work together. Ultimately, they could not settle their differences, and split apart again. Orian's son Artamo led,the group after his father was assassinated by a member of the Populares. War was beginning to start all over again. Before chaos took over again, the two parties signed an agreement preventing a future civil war., known as the "Civil Peace Act". Artamo would have a child in the 1970s named Archibald Geskin. (1972-)
Late 1900s
Young Archibald Geskin, old enough to join the Optimates, was sick of seeeing his country degrade back into mindless, savage, warmongers. Archibald quickly rose through the ranks of the Optimates, winning favor, trust and power. In 1997 he named himself dictatator of what he called Fydoria. (Fydoria means triumphant sword.)
