Diblen is a new country, established in 144, able to rise with the bloodshed and dedication to founding a nation. It placed the party leader, Kail Forrester as King, his fellow party mates as the lords of the land. There was some disagreements among those lords as some plots of the island they received as some were coveted and when they were give to others, jealousy was harbored. Prays to Mok were uttered and the country plugned in to internal conflict, ousting one of its founding lords almost as quickly as he had become one.
However, the country had entered into the pact with Solaris not out of a desire to grow, but it's creators desire for the bounty of the Solaris fleet. The treaty with Solaris requires they provide military aid in the event they are attacked by any force,  they send word that they were under attack to Solaris. This was a ruse and Diblen's soldiers attacked the ship and captured it. The ship, the Absolution, is now the flagship of the Diblen's fleet and a symbol of their devious craving to take what other countries have.

The Founding of Diblen (Y144-Y182)

Part I: The Blood Pact (Y144)

While the great, ancient kingdoms of Astra and Arwonia dominated the continent, the Equatorial Islands remained a lawless, unclaimed frontier. In Year 144, a ruthless and ambitious adventuring party, led by the pragmatic warrior Kail Forrester, decided to carve out their own nation.

This was not a divine mission or a quest for utopia. It was a conquest.

Kail and his party of "lords" (his adventuring companions) landed on the islands and, through sheer force of will, bloodshed, and dedication, founded the Kingdom of Diblen. Kail, by right of conquest, was named Emperor. He immediately divided the new territories among his founding lords.

The kingdom was not even a month old when it had its first taste of betrayal. Some of the lords, jealous of the "coveted" plots of land their companions had received, harbored a deep, burning resentment. They did not just grumble; they prayed. Their prayers went to Mok, the God of Destruction, Vengeance, and Trickery.

Mok, ever the instigator, answered. A brief, bloody, and treacherous internal conflict erupted, and almost as quickly as he had been named, one of the founding lords was ousted, his lands seized by the "more faithful." The Kingdom of Diblen was thus founded not on ideals, but on the pragmatic, ruthless principles of its new patron, Mok: If you are strong enough to take it, it is yours.

Part II: The Twofold Treachery (Y145-Y147)

Emperor Kail Forrester quickly realized his 30,000-citizen kingdom was politically isolated and militarily weak. He devised a cunning, twofold strategy for survival against the major powers of the Equatorial Islands:

1. The Solaris Ruse: Kail negotiated a "Mutual Defense Pact" with the militaristic King Jehoel Seraphim of Solaris. Once the treaty was signed, Kail fabricated a crisis, claiming Diblen was under attack. King Jehoel, honoring the letter of the treaty, dispatched his finest ship, the "Absolution." Kail's soldiers, lying in wait, stormed and captured the vessel, claiming the powerful, Aasimar-built warship as the flagship of the Diblen fleet.

2. The Anishinabe Pact: To shield his nation from the powerful Anishinabe Confederacy, Kail arranged a political marriage. His son and heir, Prince Kyrill, was betrothed to Princess Tsui Zuang of the powerful Awado nation, a major power within the Confederacy. This alliance would make Diblen "family," securing a lasting shield against their powerful neighbors.

Part III: The Nine-Month Plot and Vengeance (Y182)

The marriage plot backfired on the political front but succeeded personally: Prince Kyrill and Princess Tsui Zuang were genuinely in love. This presented the ultimate obstacle to Lady Avonya Lynes, a Demigod of Mok who was simultaneously executing her master plan for vengeance, which had been decades in the making.

Avonya, born in a Diblen prison and trained by Mok, first seduced the aging Emperor Kail, becoming pregnant with his child. She then executed a plot that eliminated the entire royal line in less than nine months:

1. Elimination of the Heir: Avonya compromised Prince Kyrill in a staged encounter, leading to a duel where the second son, Vicente, mistakenly stabbed and killed the Prince Royal.

2. Elimination of the King: Avonya then assassinated King Kali in his bed, stabbing him with hidden daggers, and using her Telepathic feat to plant the suggestion in the guards' minds that a "Solaris assassin" was responsible.

3. Elimination of the Second Prince: After securing the loyalty of key factions and allowing her pregnancy to show, Avonya used a specialized poison to kill King Vicente.

Avonya immediately seized power as Regent, ruling in the name of her unborn heir.

Part IV: The Succession Trap (Y182, Present Day)

Avonya's victory is paralyzed by a single, terrifying political problem. The Awado Princess, Tsui Zuang, is still in Diblen.

The Inaccurate Succession: The Princess, having slept with the late Prince Kyrill, may be pregnant. Because of the strict succession laws of Diblen—where the line goes through the King's eldest son first—Princess Tsui Zuang's child, if born to the royal line, would be next in line to the throne over Avonya's own unborn son.

The Political Trap: Avonya's position is deadly. She cannot release the Princess because she needs time to confirm or deny the pregnancy. But she cannot harm the Princess, as Tsui Zuang's royal parents have arrived in Diblen for the wedding and are demanding their daughter's immediate return. Harming the Princess would trigger an immediate invasion by the entire Anishinabe Confederacy.

Regent Avonya Lynes, the Demigod of Vengeance, is now trapped: holding a high-value hostage against the wishes of the most powerful military alliance in the region, all while desperately waiting to see who is carrying the true heir to the throne.
