County of Sarissa
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The County of Sarissa is a prominent vassal-state of the Commonwealth of Sutica, and is currently ruled by the House of Buckfort. It was founded by Countess Ivarielle and ruled by her until the House of Buckfort peacefully took over the title after Ivarielle's extended absence. The current state of Sarissa rests upon the Island of Sarissa, directly east of the current capital of Sutica.
History
Sarissa was first founded by a woman named Ivarielle and was built upon the Island directly east of the capital of Sutica, the capital of the new County becoming the town of Brynrose. The town was rather isolated at the time, having no connections to the mainland. Therefore, Sarissa grew distant from Sutican politics and even threatened to declare independence multiple times under the first countess.
Following the overthrow of Princess Guenevere during the Third Coup of Sutica, Ivarielle was also peacefully removed from power by Ser William Buckfort, also known as the Jackalope Knight. William was made the new Count of Sarissa and quickly swore an oath of fealty to the new King Georg of Sutica. From there, Sarissa saw a considerable boom in population which was only increased by the establishment of the Pierwsza Kompania Sarzycka (also known as the PKS), which was created and headed by Oisin O'Breathnach Buckfort, the bastard son of William Buckfort. This new Guard force only served to increase the popularity of Sarissa, as many people flooded to the Island to serve in the PKS when word of an Anti-Canonist revolt in the Sarissan countryside became public. This conflict served as a test for the newly established PKS, which was able to quickly score its first victory over the rebels in the Battle of the Mythos Plains under the leadership of Oisin.
