Island of Arube

The Island of Arube (Asupe in Ta'aroha) is an island in the bay of Guasu situated between Ta'aroha and the Teleri Republic. It is contested between both parties, it has belonged de jure and de facto to the Teleri Republic since its joining with the Treaty of Keninèj, but Ta'aroha still claim it as theirs since their annexation of the island and occupation of the Republic during the Second World War.

Auynic Empire
The island of Asupe was one of the early conquests of the burgeoning empire. The island was part of the !central_province.

Teleri invasion
When the Teleri first invaded Auynic lands they did not reach the island, they would however conquer it soon after. There they would found many new settlements that would compete against each other for control over all the other cities on the island. This struggle would eventually be won by the city of Keninèj, this newfound unity would allow the island to move past its fragmentation and into stability and centralisation.

The Republic of Arube
The Republic of Arube started as a vassal of the Kingdom of Pesrey, but as the king lost more and more power and influence the Republic would gain in independence as the teleri world entered the Pogitich Period. During this period the Island would become a hub of both commerce and piracy, indeed it was well known at the time that Keninèj both employed and harboured pirate companies as protection for their merchant fleets, as a weapon against their competitors, and as a guarantee of security for the island, as the pirates patrolled the seas lifting the need for an Arubean military fleet. After their joining of the Teleri Republic Arubean pirates would become Teleri ones, serving the interests of the Republic and working ever closer with its military fleets, until their eventual incorporation into the teleri navy in the early 1700's.
