The Blindmen, officially The Kingdom of The Blindmen, is a country in the east of StormKingdom region. The west mountains of Decia forms the northern border with Sturms, the Friluia river the border with Saint Jacques in the east, and the Santiago sea the south and west border.

History

The Blindmen was founded by Harold Giestsse, in 1415, who founded the capital city, Blindaurbo, in Nocaodia, a territory abandoned by the Kingdom of Sturms. Harold Giestsse was a noble, dissident of the politics of the Great Duchy of Liechtensburg. The name of The Blindmen come from the denomination that the Great Duke of Liechtensburg Friedrich V made of followers of Harold Giestsse, who, in fact, was blind, due to a punishment made by the same Great Duke. The Harold Giestsee's army (the Army of The Blindmen) won the Battle of Baaqa, in the foot of the Decia mountains, in 1417, and gained the independence.

Politics

The Blindmen are known for their "konsilioj", and their "asembleoj". The "konsilioj" are charged of government, in their district; the "asembleoj" are charged of justice, accomplishing the right of being judged by the people. The is no hierarchy between the "konsilioj", but the greatest "konsilio", the "konsilio" of Blindaurbo, are ruled by the "kunulo" (fellow) Kinni Traisse, until june of the present year. The leader of the "konsilioj" can't be reelected, and can't postulate more than once. The king, Lotar III, from the Giestsee dinasty, serves in the "konsilio" of Blindaurbo, as all citizens. The "assembleoj" are rotative, and people are elected to a particular case.
