The Sevromark, also known as the Kingdom the Sevr, or the Sevrostag, was one of the two major kingdoms fighting during the Long Ikonkivoyra. The state was established by the Margrave Karro through military might and the support of the Iconoclast faction within the Kingdom of the Drev elite. Its kingship was never recognized by the Duchy of Yugstran, which itself was seen from Sevromark as a rebel territory.
The kingdom was famed for its well-organized military and for its very original and specific culture, with artists and artisans inspired by Iconoclasts or even Idoloclasts ideas. Sevromark expanded greatly under its successive monarchs, until it was defeated by the combined forces of Yugstran and [another christian kingdom]]. Iconoclasts theologians and scholars fled Sevromark for the Lushyodorstag where their writings were preserved from the destruction ordered by the Orthodox monarchs against the Heretics. The kingdom ended when the nine years old Abran was forced to renounce his title and convert to Orthodoxy. He died four years later without heir as a captive of the Yugstranese court.
History
Founding
The Sevromark was originaly the name given to the plateau that mark the northern boundary of the Drev Valley. It was a rather savage region, with low density of populations, except around the banks of the Sevr River, the main waterway that linked the plateaux directly to the core regions of the Kingdom of the Drev. It's there that the Elod clan, of Lushyod origin, settled after Worsak I established the Drevstag. At first, the Elod clan took the title of "Counts of the Sevr", ruling over the "Sevrogrev" before they were granted greater liberties by their monarchs, such as the ability to raise troops and maintain soldiers without requiring the direct consent of the king, so they could better respond against northern threats to the kingdom. They then became known as "Marquis of the Sevr" and their lands as the "Sevromark".
