The Kingdom of Kasavy (Kasavrine: Rzeńa Selórzana; Gaullican: Royaume de Casavie; Solarian: Regnum solarianus; Miersan: Królestwo Kasawy) was a sovereign state in Central Euclea. It was founded in 452, a decade after the initial Kasavar invasion of Gaullica, by the Donation of Claude after its first king, Dragomir, converted to Solarian Catholicism. Although initially a Verliquoian subject, it gradually began to assert its independence as the empire's power and influenced waned.
The kingdom remained a powerful state in Euclea until the death of Valerian I Mad War between 1201 and 1219, a devastating civil war between Valerian's daughter Helena and Philip of Oyré. With Verliquoian support Philip was able to assume control of most of the country, though it was not until Helena's death in 1219 that the war ended. Kasavy was forced to acknowledge the Verliquoian Emperor as their suzerain in the lands granted by the Donation of Claude, now largely modern-day Gaullican Casavie, in return they received the Duchy of Brou, and Philip's son Augustin was married to Catherina of Gaullica, daughter of Louis III.
This arrangement continued until 1543, when Julan II converted to Amendism. Francois I of Gaullica claimed that this negated the Donation of Claude, initiating a war which lasted until 1547 and a Gaullican victory. Julan agreed to convert to Solarian Catholicism, but reverted after Francois seized the Seven Districts and his lands in Brou. The monarch, court, and much of the nobility continued to be Amendist until 1688, although the majority of the population remained Catholic. In 1688 Paweł III, who had converted to Catholicism in 1674, issued the Declaration of Paryz which removed tolerance and protections for all non-Catholics, resulting in large-scale emigration to the New World. His daughter, Cecyla Antonina, would be the last monarch of Kasavy, as it would be partitioned between Soravia and Gaullica in 1718.
Today the former Kingdom of Kasavy is divided between Gaullica, Miersa, and Slirnia, with Kasavrines being a significant minority in the former two countries, and a vulnerable minority in the latter.
