The Nation of Darth Mathius came into existence at the end of the Great Revolution in early 2005; replacing The Gnomish Vales (which was found in the region known as The YoungWorld and has since ceased to exist) as the head and home of all gnomish people.

The Gnomish Vales was controlled by Pope Christopher IV, who was deposed in the great revolution.

The revolution spawned from Pope Christopher declaring Marshal Law upon all territories under his control and sending out his armies to ‘remove’ all opposition.

This action caused a schism within the Holy Order of St Bob and those who opposed Pope Christopher went underground, whilst the loyal supporters of Pope Christopher joined the armies in ridding the territories of opposition.

In hiding the dissenting members of the Holy Order of St Bob founded The Grand Order of Gnomes Templar and appointed Matthias their leader and gave him the Title of Lord Knight.

When Pope Christopher discovered the existence of the order, he proclaimed all members of The Grand Order of Gnomes Templar were heretics and therefore enemies of the people.

Pope Christopher also ordered that Matthias’s name be stricken from all official journals and records and be replaced with the name Darth Matthias (Darth meaning Dark) as a sign of Matthias’s sedition against the state.

The Civil War raged for 200 NEC (Necrotons) and ended when the Capital St Christopher City was captured and Pope Christopher IV was arrested with his supporters and the Parliament of Cardinals (These Villains were sent in to exile to The Colony of Papal Exiles as Prisoners of the Emperor).

Darth Matthias was elevated to the position of leader of the Gnomish Vales, which he declared should be destroyed and all peoples should be given a new home land, hence he founded The Holy Empire of Darth Mathius in The North Pacific.
