Triumvirate

How it started

Around a century after the arrival, the amount of powerful and motivated emergents finally reached a critical point. A wizard by the name Sławomir Bala, together with his two personal friends, cleric Arthwr Howells and captain Murata Michinori formed the original Triumvirate. All three of them were fairly famous in the adventuring circles and commanded enough influence to step in after the Cradle city council made the mistake of attempting to apprehend all the adventuring parties that were resting within city walls.

The trio quickly realized the potential of city council's mistake and completed the revolution by adapting the political system to the nature of the world of Hexpanse. They've planned and executed a complex set of reforms, rebooting the failed economy, that almost collapsed by that time, due to inflation caused the fact that gold and silver could be just found in a directly usable form in the hexmazes. Combining the forces of Cradle and Red Hill, they organized a gradual move from the feudal bureaucracy to a completely new system based on direct, rather than assumed power.

The Handshake

Only after stabilizing the situation between the three settlements, Cradle, Red Hill and Direwood Hold (a mere camp at the edge of Enchanted Forest back then, that would eventually become an actual town and the power seat of Maréchal) the Triumvirate was able to direct their attention outward. The dwindling amount of travelers and messengers from other settlements was becoming a concern and as Cradle's city council documents suggested, was already an issue before the revolution. Triumvirate dispatched adventuring parties (the term "hexraiders" was actually a name of one of them, that later became a general word to describe the parties) to investigate. The parties were able to assist some of the towns and settlements besieged by the environment, but a number of them were lost (though some of those were successfully evacuated). After securing what's left, the Triumvirate gathered their authorities and described their vision. After some debate, they agreed to gradually transit to a representative government thus creating Arcane Council, Exarchate and Maréchal. The Triumvirate kept their authority as the executive branch, being appointed by the common committee of the three power groups.
