	Ultimately, the Federation succeeded in stopping the raids on the Riverlands, but succumbed under a trade embargo instigated by the [[Kingdom of Helmsdeep]]. Without funds or supplies, the Federation army, consisting largely of mercenaries with only a few native volunteers, quickly slunk in numbers and could only garrison [[Castle Aquilon]] with a skeleton crew. The [[Battle of Castle Aquilon]] ensued and the little military presence that the Federation had was annihilated, effectively ending their dominion over the Riverlands. After the fall of the Federation, the raids once again continued.

	As the [[Redstone Alliance]] raided the largely scattered [[Riverlands]], the living standards of the inhabitants of the Riverlands diminished greatly. Poverty and crime were rampant in the face of continuous attacks. Despite attempts by the [[Rebel Alliance]] to recover stolen goods and fend-off raiders, they never quite gained a military foothold in the Riverlands.

	Republic, a young Riverlander, rallied a number of people into a military organisation much more coherent and unified than the Rebel Alliance, establishing common rules, rights and obligations for all of it's members, including a tax- and criminal code. From this, a nation-state quickly emerged and claimed itself as the rightful, legitimate government of the common folk.

	Although the Federation saw a natural ally in the [[Rebel Alliance]], unification negotiations repeatedly failed. Rebel Alliance representatives argued that the Federation violated people's freedom as a neck-breathing, overbearing father-knows-best state. On the other side, the Federation criticised the Rebel Alliance for being dysfunctional, ineffective, unorganised and in essence nothing more than a ragtag group of resistance fighters. The Federation also stressed the need for a formal military, which counteracted the Rebel Alliance's cell-based structure.

For a short time the invaders could not find the Consul, until Kythiran intel, acquired during a guided tour of the castle weeks before the battle, located the underground bunker where the Consul was hiding.

Even so, there remains a small number of quiet republican sympathisers in the [[Empire of Kythira]] longing for an end to the feudal system that has dominated Westeria for so long.
