The Orrican League

The Orrican League is a loose alliance of independent states along the western coast or Orric.  Although the concept of the League was proposed in 5005, the League did not formally exist until 5012 when the first League Assembly was convened in the city-state of Obbac.

The League exists, primarily, to promote mutual trade and defense among its member-states.  Each of its members retains their own autonomy and fiercely defends it.  In the eighty-eight years that the League has formally existed, its membership has shrunken.  Originally, twelve states belonged to the League, but today only seven remain.  Zalna and Athell withdrew from the Orrican League in 5048 to form the Triune Alliance with the Mech Nation-State of Uxbrut.   Oqiana and Ynton went to war with each other in 5050 and were expelled from the League.  The City-State of Fayn simply vanished in 5079.

Today, the Orrican League is showing further signs of collapse.  There is a movement in the region to restore the Tarwellian Directorship, which is causing extreme friction between the League's member-states.  There are also significant cultural differences between some League members, which is adding further strain to the alliance.  More recently, the Triune Alliance has made a very public overture to Ghir, to leave the League and join the Alliance.

Only time will tell if the Orrican League survives.
