Baron is a large city in Arhet. It was founded in 1359 BCE by Lord Barionus as a religious settlement. Stickism and Cankism are the two religious majorities, making up a total of 33% each of the religious population. It is divided between the control of Savalizxt, Ististis, and the Free City of Baron.

The Free City of Baron is a country situated between Savalizxt and Ististis. It formed as a result of the Saval-Istis War, lasting from 1898 until 1911. In the war, Ististis invaded Savalizxt so its citizens in Baron, at the time completely Saval, could freely enter the Stickist Holy Land, located in Ististis. After the death of Queen Kiba XVII in 1902 after reigning since 1877, King Christian IX assumed power and continued the war, though in this time they lost control of the city of Baron. The city itself was contested ground until the abdication in 1908 when Ghasai Mira II took power. Mira II chose to retreat from major areas, even in Ististis proper, that were Saval and Cankism-practising. In 1911, the Treaty of Baron was signed, which required that the diverse areas of the city be made into the Free City of Baron, while the Saval and Istis portions would join their respective countries.

Early history
In 1444 BCE, Wisfal King Eric CXVII of Himmat (now Sudalt) divided his land among his triplet sons, ending the Wisfal kingdom entirely. Ursil got what is now Savalizxt, Brandon got what is now the city of Baron itself, and Quincer got what is now Ististis. Even under unified rule under their father, Ursil and Quincer were known to fight, and Brandon would always be the mediator. Ursil founded the settlement of Ursil Manor, Brandon founded the settlements of Esteem Manor and Harbour Manor, and Quincer founded the settlement of Hyoly Manor. All these settlements continue to exist as parts or "manors" of the city. In 1388 BCE, King Bavison started an uprising and took much of what is now upper Ististis from the descendants of Quincer. He died one year later to his son King Karenson, who was assassinated two years later. After one year of no rule, 17-year-old King Biffikus "Biffikus the Baron" assumed power. In 1377 BCE, he abdicated from his power in Ististis and chose to become Lord Barionus of Ursil, Esteem, Hyoly and Harbour. "Bario" is Saval for "God" while "nus" is Istist for "like". He united the areas under a common rule by 1359 BCE, and ordered for it to be a functioning city before his death, which happened in 1353 BCE at the then-ripe-old age of 49, thirty-three hours before his fiftieth birthday celebrations were due.

Establishment
In 1353 BCE, Lord Barionus died, and his son, Lord Barionus II, who was 24 years old, took power. He is known for preventing invasions left and right, for he managed to defend the weak Baron kingdom against the Neowisfals, who were pushed back in such manner they no longer even shared a border with Baron. However, in 1330 BCE, Lord Barionus II died, for the time ending the absolute rule of the House of Himmat-Brandon in Baron. The Istists quickly invaded and infiltrated the defence of the city. Lord Bavison II was next in line for the throne, and took the title of mayor in 1328 BCE. However, he was obedient, for he was loyal to the Istists, and even converted to Stickism from Cankism. His rule over Baron was uncelebratory and was considered a dark chapter of history. After Lord Bavison II came Lord Bavison III in 1313 BCE after his father's abdication and death in 1311 BCE. Lord Bavison III was known for exaggerating things and took many laws very seriously. He ended up becoming an extremely celebrated comedian in Ististis and Baron both and his comedies are still read by many in the present day in both nations.

Lord Bavison III kept power until 1277 BCE. After him came Lord Bavison IV until 1269 BCE, Lord Barionus III until 1246 BCE, followed by the twin leadership of Lord Bavison V and Lord Barionus IV. The twin leaders each had less work and organised many ceremonies and celebrations and banquets for even the poorest, and together provided for the homeless with luxurious shelters in their own palace, which are today used as maid rooms.

In 1218 BCE, Lord Barionus IV died, and Lord Bavison V had commited suicide by 1213 BCE. Their nephew Chevron took power and he became Lord Chevron I. He pronounced the layman's reforms and made them more prevalent, and ordered the building of many orphanages. In 1201 BCE, Chevron I was assassinated and his younger brother Chevron II took power until 1168 BCE. In 1163 BCE his daughter Lisman became Lady Lisman I, the first female ruler of the kingdom. Lisman I helped fully separate Baron from the Istits, and was successful by 1146 BCE, ending 190 years of harsh rule. She never lived to see the independent kingdom, for she died in 1144 BCE, and the kingdom was fully separate only in 1140 BCE, 6 years after the movements she sponsored.

Golden Age
Lisman I had no marriage or children, and daughter of her third cousin was the one to follow her. Her name was Jana, and she took the title of Lady Jana I in 1144 BCE. She invaded and defeated the Neowisfal Empire from before within her first 6 months of rule. After this, in 1138 BCE, she invaded and conquered the Istis Empire. In 1136 BCE, she conquered the Saavl Empire and the Creek Empire to its North by 1134 BCE. She renamed the empire to the Lismiane Empire, and enacted feminist rights, as the society itself had become maternal, with more women's rights than men's, after this many years of female rule. In 1133 BCE, prisoner-of-war King Oswald II of the Creek Empire had brutally assassinated Lady Jana I. Her daughter Lady Lisman II followed, but King Oswald forcefully took over the Creek and Savl territory from the Lismiane Empire. Lisman II was assassinated by the same person who assassinated her mother in 1131 BCE after constant threat. She was succeded by her younger cousin sister Lisman III.

Lisman III brutally launched a counterattack against the Creeks, but to no avail. Only the House of Tiyas, in which King Oswald II was a part of, was removed from power. The Creek Empire became the Creek Republic and adopted democracy as their new government. Lisman III died in 1111 BCE to her daughter Lisman IV. Lisman IV was assassinated during her coronation, in which she made a speech forming the new semi-democratic voting system and was replaced with her much younger sister Lisman VI, for her other sister Lisman V was assassinated right after Lisman IV.

In 1110 BCE, Lisman VI took power at age 14. She created attack upon attack on the Creeks and managed to break through by 1104 BCE. In 1102 BCE, the capital was taken, and in 1095 BCE, virtually all of the former Creek Republic was under Lismiane control. Lisman VI then took over the island empire of Qifba to the southwest in 1082 BCE. The Qifbans were late to react. By 1077 BCE, the Qifbans were replaced with ethnic Barionians. Lisman VI would reign celebrated until her death at age 83 in 1042 BCE.

In 1042 BCE, Lady Jana II took power. Things were uneventful until her death in 1040 BCE, which was by yet another assassination from the removed, unofficial Oswald IV of the Creek Empire. Her successor, Lord Barionus V, was a male ruler. Barionus V invaded the final remains of the Creek Republic that remained, and took care of all the revolts by 1033 BCE. In 1009 BCE, he invaded the Tang Empire, which was in the far northeast corner of what is now Savalizxt. He took all of it by 998 BCE. He himself was a warrior, and chose to fight on the battlefield and even command troops. In 991 BCE, Barionus V took over the Yita Empire to the northwest of the Tang, and in 986 BCE the North Creek Empire to the northeast of the Yita. He died in 979 BCE of a chronic illness, outliving his oldest son by three years. Since his oldest son had no children, his second eldest son Barionus VI took power.

Lord Barionus VI, also known as Barionus the Conqueror, expanded the borders greatly. Most if not all of the smaller kingdoms were invaded by 966 BCE. In 965 BCE, the Parpan Empire was taken. In 964 BCE the remains of the Neowisfal Empire were taken. In 962 BCE came the Nadibha Empire. In 955 BCE came the Dishirtha Empire, and in 954 BCE came the remaining kingdoms. Finally in 949 BCE the Kissal Empire was taken, though Barionus the Conqueror died indirectly due to battle, and chose to commit suicide due to his injuries in 947 BCE after abdicating a year earlier.

Barionus the Conqueror's daughter Jana III assumed power during her coronation in 948 BC. She was much weaker than her father and died one month before the suicide of his father. In the one month period Barionus VI had Lord powers again. One day after his re-coronation he ordered an invasion of the Uss Kingdom, a tiny but notable kingdom, which finished three days later. He subsequently re-abdicated on the fifth day.

Fall
Lord Barionus VII was the next ruler to follow, starting rule in 948 BCE and ending in 899 BCE. He built many defencive walls to secure the borders built by his father. In 899 BCE, Lord Barionus VIII assumed power, followed by Barionus IX, and so on. The empire was rapidly weakening. In 841 BCE, the Yita Empire redeclared independence, followed suit by the Creeks to the North in 812 BCE, who had the opportunity to reconnect with their originally disconnected North Creek brothers. The Dishirthic Republic followed in 801 BCE, followed by the Kissal Empire in 781 BCE, and the Outer Isles in 765 BCE. The outer lands had declared independence. North Michaelsia followed in 744 BCE, followed by Franzis in 700 BCE, and South Michaelsia in 589 BCE. In 450 BCE Savalizxt declared independence.

In 388 BCE, under the rule of Lord Chevron VIII, the Nisowiflasians declared independence (the name had evolved from Neowisfal due to Barionic influence). His successor Lord Barionus XV stationed troops in loyal Dishirtha. Under Lord Kevin I's rule in 296 BCE, an invasion was launched that finished in 293 BCE, albeit 41 days after Kevin I's death. However, in 291 BCE, Ististis declared its independence, followed by Hyolis in 288 BCE. In 285 BCE, Ististis successfully invaded Hyolis, with the Lismiane Empire now supporting Ististis. Ististis was reannexed though autonomously after their invasion was a success in 277 BCE. However, the Lismiane Empire was coming to a close by this point.

In 268 BCE, Lady Lisman XIII, who was 11 at the time, was assassinated while on tour of her ruined empire. There was no near heir to the throne that could take her place, for her entire family was dead by this point. In 266 BCE, Ghasai Mira XVII of Ististis was given power by the parliament, and in 248 BCE, the Lismiane parliament, the last remaining government body, collapsed. In 247 BCE, after two anarchic years, the Lismiane Empire was done gradually absorbing into Iststis as a new province. At this point only Dishirtha, Ursil Manor, Bafferson Manor, and Baron city proper were all that remained of the Lismianes.

Rule under Ististis (247 BCE-106 CE)
In 185 BCE, Savalizxt attacked Bafferson Manor, Ursil Manor, and Dishirtha due to their large Saval population. However, at this point, Savals were excommunicated from the area, leading to it being deemed unfair. Only Ursil Manor was successfully taken due to its 52% Saval and 47% Istit population (as the manor was cut off from Baron and had free access to both Ististis and Savalizxt).

In 170 BCE, Dishirtha was given provincehood at an equal status to the former Lismianes, which were now the Barionians. After this, Bafferson Manor joined Hyoly District, and it was renamed to Bafferson-Hyoly District. Baron city proper was now of similar provincehood to other parts of Ististis.

In 15 BCE, Bafferson was taken by the Saval invaders, along with southern Dishirtha. Dishirthan people moved to Baron city proper to protect themselves, as they had been doing for an entire millenium now. In 50 CE, Hyoly District was taken along with the rest of the Dishirtha province. Baron city was no longer defendable or suppliable or sustainable, so it fell in 106 CE.

As a province, the Parfap dynasty continued with Lisman XIII's second-oldest sixth-level aunt, Lady Lisman XIV.

Invasion of the region
In 185 BCE, Ursillinilapolis was taken over. Later, in 13 BCE, Bizhabaffersitolapolis (now Bafferson) was taken. Hyolivapiolis was taken in 50 CE along with Dishirtha. The now-surrounded city of Baron was now falling, and the retreat of the Ististits ended in 106 BCE. In 111 CE, Lord Bavison XI was assassinated, and minutes after her coronation, Lady Lisman XXVI was too, ending the period of Parfap rule over Baron. The timeline is below.

Changes
During Saval rule of Baron, it was removed from autonomy. The Creeks, who were now part of Savalizxt along with the Savals, intermingled with Dishirthans, and these intermingled with the South Creeks (who previously had Savalizxt). This strengthened their hold on the region, and birthed the modern Saval race and ethnicity. The half of remaining Dishirthans either lived in hiding throughout the city or defected to Ististis. However, due to the low quality of the land around Hyolivapiopolis and lack of natural harbours, they needed to defect quickly along the few small roads in the area. At the time the current Bay of Mainesse had not been constructed yet, and the only development was Hyoly Manor around the Mainesse Harbour.

Nevertheless, refugees found ways to exit the horrors in Savalizxt. From a 105 CE population of 403,000 Dishirthans total left, only 50,000 had successfully defected, and in total, by 405 CE, only 36,000 Dishirthan people had remained, with 28,000 only of them being defectors.

The Misfak peninsula (which has since eroded into a standalone island) and the city of Lismat (now Sudalt, previously Himmat) held great numbers of refugees in sucessful hiding. 6,600 of the hiding refugees hid in Lismat, with 700 living elsewhere in Misfak.

Decline
Rebellion was popular in the area. Barias District of Savalizxt declared independence in 397 CE, after getting ready for a year. They proceeded to recruit Istist and veteran Saval soldiers to fight for an independent Bariepol, which had become the new native name by this point. Training began in 399 CE, and in 401, parts of Barias were occupied by the Kingdom of Bariepol, which started with the coronation of Queen Lisman XXVII in 400 CE. She was part of the new 26th Parfap Dynasty, who had descended from Harold, the younger second nephew of Lady Lisman XXVI. The new queen ordered that a full-scale invasion be started, for which she signed a decree. By 403 CE, the cities of Bariepol, Hyolivapiolis, Ursillinilapolis and Lismat were controlled in full, and the Savals surrendered.

Kingdom of Bariepol (403 CE-486 CE)
After Queen Lisman XXVII came King Harold I, also known as Harold the Conqueror. He ordered that the land to the east of the Franz River be taken. He was successful in his remark. Kyle I would follow, fortifying the conquery of land and himself taking land up to the Michaels River further west. However, Kyle II after him invaded Yitis, which was a big mistake. He was hated during his reign and his assassination in 465 was celebrated, and is still celebrated as Strengthening Day. During his invasion of the Empire of Yitis to the north, he used his entire reign and sent an extremely high number of troops to cross the partially frozen Michaels River to reach Yitis, which was disconnected by both a river and a salient. Most of the army died during this time, and Saval and Istist culture became more commonplace. He espose an anti-Ististis and pro-Savalizxt agenda, against the will of his predecessors, brainwashing his people. Queen Lisman XXVIII was outright assassinated for her pro-Ististis and anti-Savalizxt beliefs, destabalising the nation. In 486 CE, King Harold II surrendered to Ististis right before being assassinated.

Rule under Ististis (486 CE-666 CE)
Under rule of Ististis for the 180 years it was, Baron was reincorporated as it was before as the province of Baron. In 505 CE, King Harold III changed his title from King to Duke out of respect. Ististis offered full autonomy, to which the offer was taken. With full autonomy, they were able to keep a separate military (though their people could and still did join the Istist military) and attack areas on their own. Duke Michael I dealled with defending his area against the invading Savals, and kept Ursil District to himself.

However, in 666 CE, under the rule of Duke Michael II, the fierce Yita Empire took control of the area. They had taken the rest of Ististis 3 years prior and Savalizxt 4 prior. At this point Istists were moving widely to the city of Baron.

In 655 CE, the Yitas took the city of Sudalt and blocked the Misfak River providing its siltstone bedrock, effectively ending its ability to stay above water. Despite Sudalt being retaken by 658 CE, Quinsat was rapidly sinking, and its population had moved elsewhere. As the final oxbow lakes reached the ocean by 667 CE, Quinsat was no longer stable. By 669, the southern portion of the city collapsed and sunk into the water. In 681 came the Western portion, opening up Sudalt Harbour. In 703, the City Centre flooded, and by 713, the rest of the city followed suit. The city of Quinsat was formally disestablished in 717.

Rule under the Yita Empire (666 CE-717 CE)
The invasion happened in 666 CE, when Baron was taken by the Yita generals. Duke Michael II allowed them to take over without much death or military action, and the Yitas, despite not giving any autonomy whatsoever, chose to allow him to continue his dynasty, however, the names were to be Yita in origin. Princess May agreed, and changed her name to Mayi, the Yita translation of "May". The translation of "Michael" was "Mikhallien". However, in 714 CE, Duchess Nisa I chose to keep her Lismiane name and openly rebelled against Yita rule. She was assassinated in 716 CE presumably by the Yita government, though the people rose a coup twenty days later and attacked the Yita Empire and installed Duchess Nisa II in power in 718 CE. The Yita Empire as a whole was overthrown in 717 CE, and the last remains by 724 CE. The names of the dynasty of Nisa II, who was unrelated to Nisa I, were based off of common person's language, and Classical Barionic gradually fell into greater and greater disuse until going extinct in 1332 CE. It was later found that Nisa I was an alternate new identity of Lisman XXX.

Nisocynthian Empire (716 CE-1209 CE)
After the events previously described, at age 11, in 799 CE, Empress Cynthia IV assumed power after her mother Cynthia III perished due to food poisoning, said to be due to "eating mouldy bread". Although still empress, she kept a secretary in the form of her cousin brother Malcolm who advised her, and Cynthia married him by age 14. The empress would reign a full 81 years before abdicating in 880 at age 92, ruling during the so-called "Golden Age" of the civilisation. She died in 910 CE of natural causes at age 121 1/2, becoming the longest reigning and longest living monarch _. In 881 CE, Emperor Allen II renamed the Nisan Empire to the "Cynthian Empire" after Cynthia IV.

By 1194, Harbour Manor and the palace were the only remnants of the Nisocynthian Empire, and the palace was all that remained by 1198. Emperor Michael IX was assassinated due to this, and the Kipphal Dynasty took power for the remaining time of the empire. In 1209, the Kazescian Empire assumed control over the palace in Misfakofv, assassinating the Kipphal royal family in the process.

First Kazescian Empire (1194 CE-1244 CE)
After the attacks and subsequent fall of the Nisocynthian Empire, power changed hands frequently and gone was the time when one dynasty or empire would rule for over 1000 years straight.

Kazecian rule began in 1194 and ended in 1301 CE. During this time, the dynastic system was abolished for a system where the Kazecian emperor would choose a governor. The Kazsechs had accidentally also united Savalizxt, Baron, and Ististis, and due to intermingling of the ethnicities, the people are now known collectively as Kazsechs.

In 1244, political corruption, disease, and economic instability led to the collapse of the First Kazescian Empire.

Frighastian Empire (1244 CE-1307 CE)
In 1244, an invasion of the Kazsech land took place, led by the Frighastian Empire. Their rule lasted from 1244 until 1307. Sudalt was the first city to fall all the way back in 1229.

Invasion
In 1299, Saval commoner Yiplis I declared himself the Ghis of Ististis, and ordered that a militia be formed. The militia contained many ex-members and veterans from the Frighast army. It took 8 years in what became known as the 8 Years' War to take over Frighastia and the capital of Vrighastiopol. Upon the Fall of Børipol in 1302, the city of Baron (then known as Børipol) was declared the capital and all government and military equipment was centred there. The city of Misfakofv fell in 1306 after heavy fighting, and the palace was largely restored from the war destruction. Previously, Misfakofv (roughly meaning "Lord's Area") was exclusively the palace, however, after Yita and Frighastian rule, it had gradually transformed into an impoverished city/slum home to two million, despite the tiny size of the island. However, the bottom portion of the island was given to the royals, who let the city dwellers continue their lives in the city area. As Ististis, Savalizxt and Baron were colonies of the overseas Frighastian Empire, they did keep a base to rule directly in the colonies in Sudalt, directly southwest of Misfakofv. Sudalt was already surrounded by 1305, however, the Frighasts surrendered all their colonial land with the exception of the city of Sudalt, which still had a majority Frighast population.

Rule
The Ghisdom of Ististis consisted of many provinces, including Savalisikist, Barœnøs, Dishiritha and others. The names were translated into perfect Istist, which requires a vowel between every consonant except st, ch, spr, ghts, and th.

In 1326, Ististis invaded Sudalt in a war that came to be known as the 40 Years' War, lasting 38 years until 1364. This maneuver used up a high amount of resources. By 1334, only land to the east of the Shith River had been taken by Ististis, while the Frighasts of Sudalt managed to take all the land between the west bank of the Frighast River and the east bank of the Franz River. In order to assert their dominance, in 1339, the Frighasts invaded Misfakofv and tore down the far northeastern salient of the palace, which still housed the Kipphal and Parfap families. Unfortunately, the attack completely wiped out the Parfaps whilst the Kipphals were now in a low number. Through Misfakofv, the Frighasts were able to reassert dominance over land south of the remains of the Misfak River in 1350. In 1355, the Istists invaded by crossing the Franz and Shith Rivers, and took the city limits. In 1361, Ististis had taken back Misfakofv, and in 1363, a treaty made to take effect in 1364 named the Treaty of Trisnaskhovia (for the city it was signed in) was signed by both sides, stating that "land to the east of the Franz and to the west of the Shith [would] be given to Frighastia as the colony of Sudalt, along with the parcels to the south of the remains of the Misfak and east of the Shith. Frighastia and Ististis [would] both renounce their claims to other lands." The treaty was set to expire 650 years after the treaty took effect, and it did in 2014 when Sudalt was handed over to Ististis after 785 years of rule. Following the handover back, in 2016, the nations united to form the modern Kazescian Union.

In 1459, the Plague of the Aghast began to spread. According to rumour and legend, the plague began in Brightlord, Deadlands and spread through trade routes. This has neither been proven nor disproven. It is only proven that ships did carry the disease, which spread through the exhalation by rabbits supposedly from the Deadlands (that now widely occupy the Kazescian Union)

Arhet Trade Centre
The Arhet Trade Centre (abbreviated simply as the ATC) is a suite of three skyscrapers (the Triplet Towers), plus a mall, memorial, cemetery, and various religious buildings. The skyscraper at 5 ATC is used as the capital and main government building of the Kazescian Union. The suite was originally started in 1885 and finished in 1893 (with entry on 24th Street), however, this was demolished in the 1940s for a new suite with towering skyscrapers instead of vast ground buildings. The new suite included four Quadruplet Towers, a connection to 29th Street, a vast shopping mall, and a large new building for Barion government affairs.

1997 Civil War Attacks
During the Barion Civil War, which lasted from 1989 until 2002, on 4 January 1997, various missiles and bombs blew up and collapsed every building in the ATC except 1 ATC, the first Quadruplet Tower. The first missile hit at 11:33 AM at 41 seconds into 4 ATC, the fourth tower, and was launched from the ceiling of the mall under rebel control. Due to the close distance between 3 and 4 ATC, 3 ATC sustained a lot of damage. A second, third, and fourth missile were launched right into the mall, making it collapse with the initial attackers, however, these were supposed to initially hit 1, 2, and 3 ATC instead. 3 ATC collapsed due to growing cracks snapping the central support beam in half, bringing the top half of the building with it to fall onto 5 ATC, destroying both building completely. Worse, since the beam snapped at a mechanical floor, an implosion made the bottom half collapse like the other buildings. Rebel terrorists then assumed and hijacked control over one of the rescue helicopters which was to be leading the rescue mission to uncover bodies trapped in the rubble after the collapse of 4 ATC (11:46 AM) and 3 ATC (1:09 PM). However, this hijacked helicopter used its rope to hang onto the two legitimate rescue mission helicopters and swung them into 2 ATC at 1:12 PM. 2 ATC's spire fell off, however, it was attached to the central support beam of the structure, and the majority of this beam came off with the spire. It was relatively not windy that day, however, at 3:59 PM, a light breeze knocked over 2 ATC as well. Thankfully, most had evacuated and relocated to 1 ATC, however, it would soon also fall, for thunderstorm ensued starting at 4:43 PM sent a lightning strike to where the old spire of 2 ATC was, however, the fire caused by this burned the rubble to ashes and spread to the bottom floors (which were significantly covered in wood for decoration) and burned the building from there. The lift shaft at the centre was in flames, and people evacuated. At 6:02 PM, 1 ATC collapsed from the bottom floor, snapping like a toothpick right onto the remains of the mall and 5 ATC.

Peace City
Peace City is a quarter of Harbour Manor made up of many exquisite, luxury buildings made by Barionus Batrik-Somones, father of Mira Batrik-Somones. It includes Peace Tower, one of the tallest buildings in all of the Kazescian Union, which is 777 feet high including the spire (which has more floors on it). The building has 86 stories (87 including ground). Behind Peace Tower is Barion Land, an exquisite luxury restaurant attracting guests from all over Arhet. Wealthy students often go to Peace Tower Private High School, which serves students of grades 5-12. Kazescia Natural Museum showcases the natural world of the entire Kazescian Union, of which Baron is the capital of. The famous Diamond Building behind Barion Land provides advertising space and rotates 360 degrees continuously each 3 hours. The Luxe Residency provides enormous vertical suites that even contain nuclear bunkers in case of all out nuclear war or an apocalypse scenario.
