The city of Golden Farrow has seceded to form a new realm over the ashes of the theocracy of Kabrinskia. To many's surprise, while the new realm's sole religion will be Sanguis Astroism, it will not be a theocracy like its predecessor and its parent realm but will rather be a republic, as the first realm based in Golden Farrow used to be. This will be the first republic to spawn from a northern realm, all others being the children of the destroyed Madina or the fruit of rebellions in the South.
