 +Ezkaphecia was founded by refugees of [[hephecia|Hephecia]] after a dynastic struggle in [[..:locations:Cyedon]] between two brothers.
 +Rather than fight a protracted civil war, followers of the losing brother fled and founded [[..:locations:Tyrla]] and [..:locations:Citilum]] around the same time.
 +Concerned with the threat of Hephecian pursuers, the two cities soon established a defensive league that sought to prevent oligarchic hegemony by any one colony.
 +In time both cities flourished and further colonies were founded and incorporated into the confederacy.
 +Though neither Pheocian league would be able to break the other militarily the original dispute with Cyedon was not forgotten.
 +Most Pheocians, even those of independent city-states, therefore see Ezkaphecians as rivals at best.
