Doccábh people

Relative locations of various groups in North Yazland, circa 1200CY

The Doccábh (Classical Doccábh /do.ˈka:β/) were an ethnolinguistic and cultural group located in northern Yazland identified by their use of the Doccábhan languages, a branch of the Yasgan language family.

Prehistorical and Archaic periods

idk they like farmed or something

Aristocratic period

During the Aristocratic period, the land occupied by the Doccábhan tribes was ruled by many disparate kingdoms and city-states. Despite this, cultural unity was largely the case, though regional variation existed. Many of the smaller states were effectively ruled by nearby larger states.

Near the end of the Aristocratic period, one particularly large state, the SOMETHING, had come to control of a significant portion of the eastern land. A drought or something possibly along with the Khozathians made it so that they could just kinda sweep? Shit was bad after too it just like was under one monarchy trying to keep control of all the land (very good idea)

Regal period

Area controlled by the SOMETHING kingdom during the Regal period

After the instability of the Aristocratic period, something something one kingdom rules them all for like 400 years lmfao. This kingdom was, similarly, relatively unstable and fraught with civil war, especially towards the end of the kingdom's lifespan.

The regal period was marked by an increasing inclination towards more democratic reform. During this time period, however, the monarchy refused to give up the system of dynastic succession at any point, despite public outcry frequently being specifically about the powers the king held.

Rulers of the Regal period

Rulers were frequently referred to with the title áirrann, literally meaning "forever-king".

Rule of the Quinquevirate

After the something, calls for democratic reform, end to monarchic rule, and relatively municipalist governance grew louder. In the end, five aristocratic families came forward to establish one of the first republics in the world.

Legacy

The Doccábhan Empire has a significant and varied legacy across the world, especially on the modern cultures found in Yazland, Etzavaz, and southern Ashnan. It had a long-lasting influence with large geographical reach and affected governance structures, law, cultural beliefs, technological advances, and language, and the effects of its presence can be deeply felt today.

Law

The Something legal system created the principles on which the law of many modern countries is based. Much legal terminology across the countries most influenced by the Doccábhan Empire comes directly from Classical Doccábh, and the general structure of jurisprudence is the same as used in the imperial period.

Modern democracy was pioneered by the system used during the Quinquevirate.
