The Last Night

The Clovian Republic lasted for more than seventeen-hundred years. However, like all empires, it eventually fell apart. Infighting and nobles weakened the republic. The hammer blow was the rise of the Mind Flayers in the Dark Ring. After many years of failing to handle the threat, a great Mind Flayer raid occurred. Not feeling safe, many baronies broke away. Everything collapsed during an event known as the Last Night. Riots raged throughout the republic that night. The capital city of Clover was set ablaze. During the chaos, many nobles and barons officially announced their secession from the Clovian Republic. Near midnight, the sitting consul of the Clovian Republic, Aquila Photalon, went missing. By the time dawn came, the Clovian Republic was no more. It was a jumbled mess of baronies and city states struggling to survive in the chaos.
