==== Tatfly ==== | |||
A mosquito-like fly originally native only to South Ilthin. After colonization of South Ilthin in the 100s BD, several Tatflies made their way to Minstos on board ships and thrived on the continent. At the time, they were just a pest, but as the industrial revolution began to roll in a millennium and a half later, Tatflies began carrying a terrible disease, the Red Tat. The reason for the name was when an infected Tatfly bit you, it left a red rash-like mark, or a tattoo. Before they began infecting people, they were known as Knips. The infection led to a harsh rash, cough, fever, and fluid buildup in the lungs. This eventually led to people drowning in their own fluids. The Tatfly enjoys war climates and would often occupy factories, contributing as a large cause of death for factory workers. People began setting up nets to prevent them from entering buildings and inventing electrical devices to kill them. From 1557-1564, the Red Tat was the leading cause of death. In the late 1500s to the early 1600s, a program was started by the Minston government to eliminate the Tatfly from Minstos. The disease infected Tatflies were eliminated by the late 1650s and the species was removed by the 1710s. | |||

In 1548, two rebel groups representing Vichsti and Warjan gained control of south and eastern Minstos and seceded from the Minston Republics forming two nations. The Republics did not recognize this independence and went in to defeat the rebel uprising. The rebel support grew with rebels rising in Pauria, leading to an all out assault by the rebel factions on the central government in Doveres. The surrender of the Minston government led to the signing of a treaty stating that the countries would rejoin Minston, but each Republic would have representation and more autonomy. | In 1548, two rebel groups representing Vichsti and Warjan gained control of south and eastern Minstos and seceded from the Minston Republics forming two nations.
