The Seibalath's etymology comes from old Tyurigin of "Setha" meaning sword, it is likened to the word Saber in common, and thus producing the bastardized word "Seiba". Lath is a borrowed corruption of the English word of "Land". Combined, this would mean Seibalath or the Land of the Sword.

It was recorded that in the beginning: there were numerous indigenous civilizations, each of those were former slave populations brought over by an ancient Elven Empire known as the Lethariil. Not much is known as to why exactly did the Lethariil collapse, but many theories point to an environmental calamity that wiped out a majority of their population, judging by the fact that all records appeared to cut off at a certain period.

Their survivors agreed to split up Eleutheria amongst their peoples, thus was formed the lands of Lentelan (Humanity), Ceolan (Felics), Ilimir (Ratmen), Sirsensal (Serren), Hudyaria (Hudyar), and Rorfreth (Canic).
===Colonial Era===
Some centuries after, the First Seibalathian Civil War occurred with the forces of the Kingdom of Lentelan fighting against a coalition composed of the rest of the states of Seibalath, whom sought to rally against unification under the banner of humanity. Briefly, Lentelan had the upperhand, and its military dictatorship under sought to enact the "Humanization" operation, a genocidal plan to sacrifice all the nonhuman populations in order to raise humanity into divinity. They were defeated through the foreign intervention, thus starting the occupational period of Seibalath.

===The Sacred Imperium===
==Geography==
Shortly after the occupation of foreigners, the states of Seibalath went directly into an era where warlords that were former high-ranking officials of native garrisons entered a conflict over who shall fill the power vacuum. A few years went by and they were defeated by the Sacrath Imperya, a magocracy of divine beings known as the Erelim.
The Erelim had ruled starting from 1560 up until the War in Hell, where several members of the ruling institution of the Imperya, known as the Heavenly Throne, were found out to have been plotting to conduct omnicide at their neighbours in an attempt to bring the coming of the Lightbringer. This plan was found out to be highly controversial by the indigeneous people of Seibalath, and thus started a civil war between numerous factions that collectively sought to overthrow the Erelim.
===The Rise of the Revolutionary Mechanical States of Eleutheria===

Though initially, the Erelim had the upperhand through mind-controlling people with divine magic. Only the Pilaks, robots constructed by the Ceolanese Faurolveit National, were resistant to the Erelim's miracles. The war had led into the destruction of the Imperya at the hands of the the Pilaks, finally having secured their independence from "heaven", and the sentencing of many Erelim to reportedly "have their wings plucked, and halos chain them into the earth below." Nobody knows what this punishment actually meant, but long decades of suffering for the angels ensued.
This was done under thedirection of Commander-in-Chief P-081H, who is referred to as "Etequan" by his subordinates. Their ability to command effectively, remain free of corruption, and provide competent leadership has propelled the corps to the forefront of fame across the Republic of Ceolan, which at the time was in the process of commissioning millions of Pilaks. The first of them would be known as the armies of Noir, Yangtai, Lythas, and Lokhid, which would be designated as the 2nd to 6th Corps, respectively.
When the Red Liberation Front took control of northern Seibalath in 2210 and the anti-modernist Saaltzun, an innumerable number of Pilaks were formed to take up arms against the opponents of the independent Seibalathian states, this sparked the beginning of the Third Seibalathian Civil War. After a significant amount of time had passed, Commander-in-Chief Etequan made an effort to negotiate peace with the rebels so that they could settle in their own states. This plan was heavily opposed by the council, and as a result, he was ambushed by a death squad while he was in the woods. Not long after that, his remains were found, and the perpetrator was attributed to the rebels.
But his subordinates knew more, and in the weeks that followed, General Ilyanich, declared open rebellion in vengeance against the organics that had murdered their brother in cold blood. Many soon followed his footsteps to overthrow the corrupt confederacy, gathering within the fortress-city of Desteryo. The first victims of his cry for vengeance were the Faurolveit engineers who had desperately attempted to shut them down. In the course of the years-long conflict, one-third of Seibalath was completely decimated as a result of chemical weapons being used by both sides, highly-advanced herbicides developed by the 1st FSC and used along the north, and the forced eruption of the Tohlaka Volcano by the mages of Sirsensal, which transformed the once-fertile lands of Hudyaria into the ash-lands.
Eleutheria's climate is primarily tropical. It experiences rainfall frequently, with an average annual rainfall of 9,710mm as it shields the rest of the Vesperian continent from typhoons. It rests upon multiple volcanoes, most of which are concentrated in Tull Island where the Tohlaka Volcano experiences constant eruption since its first magma outflow at 1932, producing an area known as the Ashlands. Due to being situated on a volcanic region, it is a popular place for geothermal energy extraction. The average yearlong temperature rests at 20 C, with a rainy season lasting ten months.
In the end, the Pilaks gained a decisive victory over the Seibalathian states, and Commander-in-Chief Ilyanich was crowned Emperor as the hero of the Third Seibalathian Civil War. However, this victory was not without any losses. The struggle resulted in the destruction of a significant number of culture, forever lost to time, and the Pilaks were reduced to only to twenty percent of their original population. Ilyanich, sought, in spite of all the suffering that had occurred during the war, vowed to once again mend the broken pieces of the nation. And with it, the Revolutionary Mechanical States of Eleutheria (RMS-E.) was formed.
===The Desteryo Coup===
Senwa Nijuuyon is a clone of the late Lunya Nijuuyon. The leader of the Cultural Protection Initiative, a government agency formed by Emperor Ilyanich to preserve human culture. She manipulated the disorder in RMS that directly followed its formation, through both bringing international support and funding dissent, managing to seize control of the government via the Desteryo Coup. Selerikh, a clone of Ilyanich who was Senwa's collaborator, was installed in place of the Emperor that was then in-exile to Meria.
Directly after the Desteryo Coup. the Red Liberation Front (RLF) had began to once again accumulate power, influence over the discontent populations of Seibalath that wished to shake off the yoke of the Pilaks. Following OSMA (Organic Safety Monitoring Agency)'s genocide of the Solist minorities, the RLF had declared war on RMSE with the intention to topple the ruling government, and form a Socialist Republic of all Seibalathians.
===Fourth Seibalathian Civil War===
The Revolutionary Mechanical States, heavily weakened by infighting and the consequences of the Desteryo Coup, had began losing ground with the core states of Lentelan and Ceolan being turned over to the rebellion. Sensing it was only due time before the organics would claim their victory from the hands of Pilaks, Senwa Nijuuyon made a gambit to secure the survival of her rule. OSMA had then located an Erelim known as Melkira, kidnapping her into Desteryo and scrying her for long lost magics. With this, they had acquired the capability of performing annihilating biological life with an ancient Lethariil spell.
Senwa sacrificed the Erelim through a ritual that lasted six months, and the RLF were at the gates of Desteryo. By the time the ritual had reached its completion, Melkira's curse had began to wreak havoc on Seibalathians. A rift had opened up at Desteryo's skies, sending a single pulsing wave that overwhelmed everything it passed through with magic, while the Pilaks were mostly unaffected, symptoms of severe magic overuse began to appear amongst the organic species of Seibalath causing near-immediate death. Some passed away through blood hemorrhage, exploded into a pile of gore, or were transformed into deformed creatures. This calamity had claimed the lives of 9 out of 10 Seibalathians, the rest survived through sheer luck, likely due to the effects of Melkira's curse dissipating due to the inverse-square law.
===The Rapturing of Eleutheria===
Due to Melkira's curse, the entirety of Seibalath had collapsed from the massive loss of life, including the Revolutionary Mechanical States. The Tershenites, liches who bide their time in the shadows, were mostly unaffected by the curse. In fact, the liches were empowered both by the upsurge of magic, and the deaths of nearly everybody around them. Seeing the opportunity to turn Seibalath into the land of the undead, they started the Rapturing by reviving all the empowered corpses in the aftermath of the civil war.
The Lichdom of Tershen, under the rule of Vel-Karraz, culled life from wherever they crossed to. What they lacked in expertise, or technology, they made up with the sheer amount of numbers of the dead. All civilizations past the coastline were razed and remade into necropolises, turning the once lush landscapes of Eleutheria into a barren hellscape known as the Gravelands. Before the dead could completely overwhelm the living, an alliance of all the remaining Seibalathians was created, ranging from the anti-modernist Saaltzun, the Red Liberation Front, and remnants of both the Pilak armies and Erelim. Thus was formed: The Socialist Republic of Seibalath.
==Geography==
Eleutheria's vast biozones compromise of the Gravelands, a lifeless barren hellscape where remnants of both Melkira's Curse and the Rapturing linger. Whatever grown here is poisoned with mana, the soil hard as granite itself. The fauna of these lands are deformed monstrosities, that can be extremely dangerous when encountering unprepared individuals.
An anomalous property exists in Eleutheria as a result of Melkira's Curse, where ambient mana tampers with the casting of "uncontained" forms of magic, amplifiying them out of control and causing it produce numerous unwanted side-effects, similar to wild-magic. To counteract these effects, Ruunfabrikta gained popularity due to its ability to remain untampered by environmental factors (being entirely self-contained), with the development of spell-bullets to both place the spell-casting origin as far as possible from the magi. It is noted that the anomaly doesn't diminish spell-casting abilities similar to anti-magic, but rather causes it to spiral out of control from the point the spell is cast (due to corruptions in the medium). The same anomaly affects radio and long-range communications/vision devices that travel through the open air.
