Fiction:Xaela'qu League

The Xaela'qu League commonly called the Xaela'qu, is a rapidly-industrializing plutocratic oligarchy comprised of innumerable free merchants, corporations, and guilds united in the peaceable search of mutual profits.

The Xaela'qu, as the name suggests, emerged from the J'si city-states of the Xaela River Valley (the literal translation of Xaela'qu is "union of the Xaela peoples") 320 years ago, in the 11,280th Year of the Current Eon.

Origins
In order to properly understand the origins of the Xaela'qu, one must first understand the origins of the J'si species. At the beginning of the Current Eon the ancestors of the modern J'si, the marsh-dwelling amphibians known as Proto-J'si, were little more than crude beasts, albeit clever and highly social ones. At the start of the current Eon, that changed.
