 * Fight for the throne: Not long after Mark II becomes the King, a turmoil starts in Esceosia in 710 BCE, as Peter, the second cousin of Mark starts an uprising, proclaiming himself the rightful successor to Mark I instead. Eventually in 708 BCE, when Mark II dies in a battle, Peter becomes the King, as Mark II had no children and all other rivals for the throne are dead or have left the country.

 * Religion: 12% Esceosian Eskor Church, 47% Esceosian paganism, 28% Illyric paganism, 13% Bonran paganism
 * Wars and Conflicts
 * The Southern Conquest: As Esceosia haven't really expanded before Peter the Terrible, and instead amassed power, it was much easier to expand after he consolidated his throne. The campaign was launched in 697 BCE and lasted a decade, but the fight wasn't done in one major expansion, but in smaller pieces, eventually making the tribes there succumb to the might of Esceosia. To defend the southern territories, the city of Zareb is founded.
 * Annexation of Esceosian tribes: During Sigismund's reign, the goal of expansion was Old Esceosian tribes instead of the southern shore. Through intermarriages, assassination and smaller wars, he managed to annex several larger Esceosian tribes on the eastern border.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Illyria: The Kingdom of Esceosia proposes a royal marriage between our two nations.
 * Events
 * Founding of another country: During the fight for the throne, one of the relatives of Peter the Terrible, Martin leaves the territory of Esceosia, moving east, eventually ending up in the Dacians' territory. He founds his own country, the Kingdom of Daekos on the Black Sea coast of Dacia with the city of Daekos as its capital in 695 BCE. He is posthumously named Martin the Just in Daekos not long after his son, Joseph ascends the throne. (( This is an NPC country spawning off from Esceosia, mixing with Dacians who were also Esceosians originally anyway. ))
