She championed hard-needed reforms for the nation and did great work in continuing the prosperity held by the River Republic for a long time. In the year 1001, River Swirl, a graduate of Celestia's Academy for Gifted Unicorns, was elected to lead the nation. The government stayed this way, free, harmonic and prosperous. And the River Republic evolved as a republic and maintaining its monopoly on river trade. In her will she wished that her mother's mad ambitions never be repeated - Rijekograd would become a republic, accountable to its ponies, not to any one pony's ambitions, yet it never returned Coltstream. However the Royal Family was devastated, and the last remaining Princess, Soft Water, died childless. But they found Coltstream manned and defended by fresh militias and the regrouped armies, and could not retake it.ĭespite terrible losses, the Grand Principality of Rijekograd had won. With their forces smashed, the Wittenlanders launched a counter-offensive, recapturing their losses. Her three daughters, Velvet, Lily, and Rose also met their end to assassins, the chaos of war, and the final assault on the fortress. The battle was close but decisive. High Mane was breached, and Wild Water herself charged in, where she was thrown from the ramparts by the fortress' commander herself. Even as her forces dwindled, she pressed on to the fortress of High Mane.
The unicorns of Wittenland made her pay for every inch of territory.
Emboldened, she pressed on into Wittenland, advancing on its ancient castles. Her invasion was successful, capturing Coltstream. With their wealth, and with their rival to the west distracted, Princess Wild Water hired mercenaries from Diamond Mountain and Nimbusia to invade the Kingdom of Wittenland, attempting to conquer Coltstream. Whilst Lake City battled the crusades of the Griffons, the Grand Principality of Rijekograd grew to become the great power of the Riverlands, relying on the immense trade allowed by its many rivers. The final defining moment was the signing of the Treaty of Coltstream on the soil of the River Republic, making them the strongest force behind Riverlands politics, rivaled possibly only by Lake City In 357 ALB it gained independence from Lake City, and in 814 it became a republic when the last Princess, Soft Water, decided to peacefully hand her powers to Sabor, the parliament, to avoid a bloody succession crisis after her death. The River Republic is a haven of peace and prosperity in the heart of the Riverlands. 4.4.2 The Phoenix Program (Non-Aligned).4.4 Strengthen the OHS (Harmony/Non-Aligned).
