Sio

Sio was a city state in the north of the Trefos continent before its invasion by the Dunstane Kingdom. The city is now ruled by the Xaxas Kingdom after the decicive victory against Dunstane in The Great Xaxo-Dustane War.

Origins
During the migration of pilgrims from The North to the Trefos continent, a camp was set up with the ambition of protecting those who needed help. The camp was titled 'Sio', which means 'help'. Pilgrims with nowhere else to go would arrive at Sio in order to treat the sick or to have temporary. Soon, the camp developed into a small settlement which accepted any pilgrim or traveler. Eventually, Sio evolved into a town and into a city. While bordered with the aggressive Dunstane Kingdom, Sio refused to become a part of Dunstane, becoming its own city state

Invasion
Dunstane launched a seige on Sio after the refusal of Sio to join the Dunstane Empire. The city was seiged for five days. Eventually, more reinforcements arrived from Lianoz to aid the invasion. The current ruler of Sio surrendered the city-state of Sio to the Dunstane Empire. The leader famously said "I do not choose to surrender. The safety of the Sioans chose for me."

Many people claim that this attack on the peaceful city state triggered the begining of the Great Xaxo-Dunstane War.

Reclaim
As the Xaxo-Dunstane war ended, Sio was recaptured by the Xaxas Kingdom, which expanded its borders over Dunstane and around Sio. After the war, Xaxas helped rebuild Sio and signed a doccument declaring that Sio may have independant rules and laws, while officially belonging to Xaxas. Power was reinstated and Sio still rules its own independant government today, while still belong to Xaxas officially.
