Sar

Sar is an Oppian city-state founded sometime before the year 34.

The First State
In its first appearance, it fought in the Anti Quanex Coalition War alongside three other city-states in year 34, gaining lands from Quanex.

After that, in the year 45, Emintas declared war on Sar, which won the war, gaining some lands as well as the Crown of Emintas.

In the year 90, in the Oppian Unification War, it was conquered by Emintas, and then liberated in the Betrayal War, uniting with the other city-states into the Oppian Empire.

The Second State
After the Great Gomic War, Sar was re-established in the peace treaty. Almost immediately, it started to have ambitions to reform Oppia, which led to diplomatic conflicts with the Quanex Realm. It later revealed (in the year 187) that it controlled the legendary Crown of Emintas, and said it would give it to Quanex Realm if they annexed Lyposh and Birum. Quanex Realm complied, but Sar claimed that the crown was stolen. After an investigation from Quanex Realm, it indeed appeared to be stolen. However, Sar in fact gave it to Arlenta and lied about it to Quanex Realm.

In 197, Sar claimed to Quanex Realm that Arlenta stole the crown (after they refused to give it back to Sar); this ended up starting the Great Arlentan War between Quanex Realm and Arlenta. In the ensuing chaos, Sar was declared war on by the Quanex Realm, but managed to win the war thanks to Moxon, negotiating a partition of Quanex Realm into many city-states.

Post-Arlenta
After the Great Arlentan War and fall of Quanex Realm, Sar started to exercise power around its neighbors. The first step was in the year 201, when they, along with Nutia, partitioned the four city-states of Birum, Arina, Zitul, and Keplex between them, with Birum and Arina going to Sar.

Around this time they seem to also have started to attempt to undermine Pextoglazia. In 205, when Sarian bavatis, disguised as Pextoglazians, sunk a Maxan ship containing the returning Ambassador to Laglon (carrying potential secrets concerning Sar), false information was given to the Pextoglazian delegate who spoke with those from Moxon, stating that Pextoglazia admitted to responsibility for the incident. Again, in 207, when Sar further blockaded the Western Gomic Straits, using the pretext of stopping the spread of the Quanexian Scourge plague, when they spoke to Moxon, they managed to frame Pextoglazia as being potentially involved.
