=== Crown of Roisa ===

 

The Kingdom of Roisa began when [[Carolus IV Zoar|Carolus IV]] began the transition to "Sarovianisation", renaming his office from ''Rex Septentrionis'' to ''Rex Roisa'', named after the mountain range that surrounded the old missing city of Sars and the north of Estos. The Kingdom went through many monarchs at peace and a golden age of literature, but eventually [[Carolus V Zoar|Carolus V]] abdicated in favour of Iohannes who became [[Carolus VI Zoar|Carolus VI]]. Immediately the new King had declared war on the State, and won four successful battles in the north of Estos - though none of them proved decisive. After a battle on the outskirts of the old city of Sar, those faithful to Stefan and [[Carolus VI Zoar|Carolus VI]] had finally discovered their ancestral home was missing - and could never find its archeological roots. [[Carolus VI Zoar|Carolus VI]] had pushed his army near the River Nafets, and engaged an army of the State in a pitched battle. According to the ''Historia Sarovianorum'', the skirmishers of the State fired a volley of arrows which were caught by Stefan’s grasp, saving the King from death, but when a Roisan archer was persuaded by the Stephanist influence of Xor and fired at Carolus VI, the arrow lodged under his arm and he was dragged from the battlefield, and died the next day, making the new King [[Carolus VII Zoar|Carolus VII]]. The next morning, both sides began to fight again, and by night, both sides broke off, with no clear winner. For four days afterwards, [[Carolus VII Zoar|Carolus VII]] and the ancient [[Grand King of the State (title)|King of the State]], Auel I, negotiated peace. Terms were finally found on the fifth day, where the State would cede all lands north of the River Nafets to Roisa when Auel I died, and pay the equivalent of 60,000 Saros today. Upon the march back to Roisian territory, [[Carolus VII Zoar|Carolus VII]] died due to the cold of winter, leaving no heir. His officers hid this fact from the men until it was discovered outside of the Roisian capital, where many defected and went back to their farms. Afterwards, the title became secondary - with the main focus as the Emperor of Imperial York
