Dejuria

Dejuria was a nation in Southeastern Eldham in the region of Serrona. The government followed an oligarchic structure led by a council of Dejurian exiles from different nations.

Dejuria came to be as a haven for exiles of the Dejure World, after the |Great Dejure War left all nations exhausted, and effectively ended the Twelfth Dejure Era.

Foundation
Nearly a week after Athaz the Traveler discovered Eldham, the Dejurians arrived in Serrona. Dejurians are aliens from another world, Dejure. Dejure had many nations, each with its own history and culture. However, all Dejurians shared two traits: a love for architecture and a love for war. After The Great Dejure War effectively ended the Twelveth Era of their World, the Dejurians grew tired of fighting amongst themselves. By this point, Dejurian explorer Nerva of DarkRaven arrived into the newly found world of Eldham. After setting up shop under the frozen seas of the Simulami Empire, he summoned a small Dejurian party to establish a formal settlement in the still vacated lands of south Serrona. Arriving at the peak of a frozen mountain, he declared his people would settle in this land, naming it FrostGuard. He would call many more Dejurian settlers, describing Eldham as a world where fights were commonplace, political intrigues ruled and empires tried to swallow each other. Soon, the Dejurians prepared for their departure.

The Exodus from Dejure was a multinational event, and was attended by the Wallachians, DarkRavenites, Blankets, and other nations. Before the Dejurians reached Eldham, it was decided that the group would not elect a formal leader, but a Council would be established to vote on important political matters. Nerva and ZachL3ster of DarKRaven, and TheMoon and Mike from Wallachia would be part of the initial Council, with Regulus of Notos of the Blankets inducted later on.

Initial friendship treaties would take place with the nearby Kolssonafell kingdom and trading ties were sealed with the Kalidinians to the north.

End of Independence
Dejuria would renounce its independence voluntarily as it was invited to join the grand Serronan alliance known as the Federation of Southern Stars. However, the large Federation proved unable to culturally integrate its minor members, thus rapidly fractured mere weeks into its existence.

By this point, friendship bonds had already tied the Dejurians with its closer federation neighbor: Elduria, as such, a political arrangement was easily sealed and the new Federation of Notos would come to be.

Legacy
At the heart of the previously independant state of Notos, nowadays the Duchy of Dejuria has inherited the old nation's name as part of the Vulperium, with its large capital city of Winterose absorbing the old Dejurian towns of Frostguard and Vaenor.
