Kingdom Of Fowatan

"Men, the gods have failed us..."

- King Fentalius

The Kingdom Of Fowatan was a relatively short-lived nation, spanning only 24 years with two different Kings. The Nation in its short life was well known for its sparse agriculture, nomadic living style, and rough rugged warriors. The Kingdom was formed after the surrounding tribes of the area felt the newly united Kingdom Of Osmax could very easily absorb them. The tribes than there created a small tribe democracy, finally electing to formalize into a nation. The culture of the Fowatans relatively sharply fell apart as the Osmax took them over, in a narrow war only won with the Boy King, Great King Max III and diminished completely around the 3rd Century, Second Era. The Fowatan nation never rose again, and eventually became cores of the Kingdom Of Osmax.

History
The Fowatan Kingdom formed in approx the year 19 First Era with Teniulus Barma as its first ruler. His son, Fentalius, is known as the last ruler of the nation. Nearby tribes felt frightened after the First Era was initiated by the formation of the Kingdom Of Osmax. These tribes formed together, creating a small tribal democracy. After a few years of Osmax expansion, the many tribes spanning over a hundred miles wide formed the nation of Fowatan. This new Kingdom had major problems, to begin with. With the low rainfall in the region, and rugged terrain of hills soiled with gravel and loose rock, the food source of the Fowatan kingdom relied on hunting. This in turn could not provide a stable population modifier and thus is one of the downfalls of this extremely early nation. Internal conflicts also plagued the nation's top officials, with small side businesses and one relatively large economic factor, bribing officials with gold. When the Young Osmax Kingdom annexed the Fowatans, with their strict policies on corruption and unity, the Fowatans were quick to adapt to this. Not much is known about the Fowatan Kingdom, as their population was almost completely illiterate. Records during this period in history are extremely vague in most cases, as many records of this period are of the Osmax. The most organized and developed nation thus far.
