Cadasy (Moujique k'aa'daasii, literally “heavy arrow”) is a marshalate of the Lutoborsk located in north-eastern Outer Joriscia, on the northern coast of the Gulf of Joriscia. It is bordered by Sebagy to the west and the Lutoborian banner-state to the north. Cadasy was a part of the state of Great Doyotia since its establishment at the end of the 13th century, but with Doyotia weakened after the Tri-Insular War with Mirokrai (1679–85), it came increasingly under threat by Lutoborsk during the late 17th century.
The Lutoborians made little inroad into Cadasy, claiming only the eastern region of Alnybysh in 1697 after the eponymous war there, but the country remained a looming influence in the north during the 18th century. With the final dissolution of the moribund Doyotian state in 1754, Cadasy came under the rule of the Transmarine Marshalate, a nominally Prysostaian territory, but in practice a Lacrean puppet on Lutoborsk’s southern flank. With its main interests lying on the coast, Lacre struggled to maintain influence in the rest of the region and sought to forestall future enmities by ceding control there in the aftermath of the Imperial War in 1774. Cadasy and the Marshalate remained officially independent until 1855, in which year it was formally annexed by Lutoborsk.
The marshalate was one of the strongholds of the Zlatograd Petition; and its effective independence from Lutoborsk at the 1943 Blue River Punctation served to abet foreign interests in southern Lutoborsk and allow leaders of the Petition to retain power at a reduced level. This was, unsurprisingly, met poorly in Lutoborsk, with the so-called Revisionist Lobby spearheading demands for a “revision” of Blue River’s terms and unrest in the region being fostered to some extent by Azophine interests. The budding insurgency in the territories was resolutely put down by a joint expedition of the Three Power Bloc states (Agamar, Lacre and Zemay) which brought down the Lutoborian government in 1949. The post-war settlement recapitulated and in a fair degree amplified the high degree of autonomy which the Punctation had created.
The polite fiction of Cadasian subservience to the Banner of the Wide North today is maintained today by the compromise established by the Tripartite Contract sponsored by Lutoborsk and Zemay, and nominally administered by the Banner-Trothed Society.
