Second Kingdom of Yuvaria

The Second Kingdom of Yuvaria was a nation in the Northeast of Eldham which was a successor to the original Kingdom of Yuvaria, though it was was preceded by the Constitutional Monarchy of Yunria and Ellsyian Empire before it. For most of its reign, it would be a moderately sized nation ruled over by its monarch, King Ragnulf of the House of Curthose. However, its existance would be jeopordized when a Soolian backed coup overthrew King Ragnulf, largely carried out by Antares Lowther and Abtorres Atreiyen. The proceeding government would then rapidly destabilize the nation ultimately relying on the nation of Argent to take parts of it in as a province.

First Kingdom of Yuvaria
The First Kingdom of Yuvaria, from which the second was derived. The First Kingdom was officially founded after its King, Ashey, purchased the independence of Yuvaria from its Rathnir overlords, Avaria. The Kingdom slowly gained new citizens and established a democratic system, where many decisions where decided in votes by the people. However, ultimately the Kingdom would become a part of the larger nation of Yunria, when the Kingdoms of Nathria and Yuvaria joined together. For a short while longer, a King would continue to rule over Yuvaria, until ultimately the King Malo stepped down, and Yuvaria would be run by a council of mayors. The First Kingdom of Yuvaria was over. After the surrender of the Third Ellysian Empire, Drackar would take what had once been the westernmost third of the Kingdom of Yuvaria.

Yuvarian Dark Age
The Yuvarian Dark Age was a period in time which occured for the first several months after the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria became independent for the second time. During this time, the nation struggled greatly, as it lost a large amount of its people, land,, and was plagued by uncaring leaders.

Reign of King Ashey
Following the destruction of the Third Ellysian Empire, the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria came into being, as the nation once again fell under the control of its founder, King Ashey. However, unlike the first time he reigned, King Ashey was very inactive, so the nation languished. As a result, immediately after gaining independence, TheHibernion would break off from Yuvaria and form the city-state of Teyrnas, which Ashey would not address. This would leave Yuvaria with 4 major towns, in Brailaheim, Mexrncast, Pszenogrod, and Volnygrad. Ultimately, after nearly a month in power, King Ashey would hand over the reigns to Admiral_Fluffy66.

Reign of "Emperor" Fluffy
Shortly after taking the reigns of the Kingdom, Admiral_Fluffy66 would go one step further, and declare himself to be Emperor of the Empire of Yuvaria. However, this name was rarely used, and was still more often referred to as the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria. While at first it seemed as though things would change, Emperor Fluffy would ultimately prove to do fairly little and the nation would continue its decline. His Reign would ultimately culminate in an attempt to sell off the nation twice, once by selling it to Astraas, a prominent Yuvarian, and once by selling it to Drackar. However, both attempts would ultimately fail as a result of several factors, notably the former King Ashey, who still held much of the nation's power, blocking both attempts. After this, talks would begin of who to nominate to replace Emperor Fluffy, who would step down a little over a week later, however by this point, talks of a successor had already begun.

Reign of No One
Even though Emperor Fluffy had not yet stepped down from power, it became evident that he soon would. During this time, Astraas, who had previously tried to buy the nation from Emperor Fluffy, was put forth as a candidate for King. Due to his previous roles as a member of Yunrian government, mayor, and prophet of Umbraism, he received widespread support, especially among the mayors of Yuvaria. However, there were two notable opponents to the potential promotion of Astraas to King. The first was the previous King, Ashey, who in spite of having almost no support, even from his wife and son, still held a large amount of physical control over the nation. His protest largely came about due to personal grudges between he and Astraas. The second was Lsuvsfar, an old Hand of the King to Ashey, who largely opposed the promotion on the notion that time should be allowed to pass, so that a candidate may prove themselves. In spite of Astraas widespread support, the argument of "wait and see" ultimately prevailed. During this time, Lsuvsfar, with the aid of Larek, mayor of Pszenogrod, would retake Teyrnas, renaming it to Halingard, and return it to the control of Yuvaria. Shortly after, a real government would be formed, run by the 5 mayors, Subvert, founder of Mexrncast, the Prince, ABT, and the Queen PowerSurfer.

After nearly a month, due to his lack of involvement with the nation, Astraas would lose all of his support for king. Following this change, two more candidates would delcare themselves, being GoldenTigris78, mayor of Volnygrad, and Lsuvsfar, mayor of Halingard. A meeting was set, and on the 17th of July, the government would meet within the city of Brailaheim, and both candidates would make their pitches to become king. Ultimately, Lsuvsfar would be elected with the support of Larek, ABT, Bilton, and Subvert, while Golden Tigris would receive the support of the queen, and Shaman would abstain. All parties agreed with the results of the vote, and Lsuvsfar became unofficial King of Yuvaria.

New Age
After becoming unofficial King of Yuvaria, Lsuvsfar began planning and reforming the nation with the help of the rest of the government. A week later, an official coronation took place in Brailaheim, and Lsuvsfar became the official King of Yuvaria. Expanding upon an idea originally created by Fluffy, Lsuvsfar would establish a system of Duchies to govern different parts of the Kingdom. At the coronation, three of the mayors were able to come and swear fealty. These created Yuvaria's first three real duchies. With King Ragnulf Curthose (Lsuvsfar) at the reigns of Yuvaria, Yuvaria would regain some of it's former glory, including the re-rise of its old towns and formation of Castery Rock on the ruins of Roantazor. However, despite second chance, things would start to turn grim with the announcement of the Starosta of Yuvaria. The Starosta had few years prior mentioned he must leave to venture out and would return shortly, but with many years having passed by, an announcement would be made of Starosta's dissapearance with many fearing the worst of the worst. Perhaps it is because of this announcement old evils, such as the Roantazor curse, would come arise once again.

Curses May Never Fade with Time
Castery Rock was a special town that was created from the ruins of the old, it had culture, music, people, and hope, something the ruins of Roantazor had once had but had lost long ago. Many said that the ruins of Roantazor were cursed for eternity, most who said that have gone, but perhaps not the curse itself. Castery Rock was one of Yuvaria's largest and favorite towns, housing approximately 30-40 residents at it's peak, it had great and unique architecture that could rival many. However, fate would move it's spotlight off the humble town as the mayor of the town would suddenly disappear. Eye witnesses who would see the man disappear mentioned he said he was feeling slightly queasy before just vanishing into thin air. The days following the first, would see many more residents just randomly disappear into thin air, with the surviving residents leaving Castery Rock. Many blame the old spirits of Roantazor for this curse.

Decline
Following the fall of Castery Rock, many would leave Yuvaria to find uncursed lands to dwell, leaving the nation plagued with many open houses and very few residents. This would lead to some old Yunrians with support of Soolia to coup the government exiling Lsusvfar to far lands. The previous King and his close aide would sign a peace treaty with the new rebel government of Yuvaria which included Robot's exile from Yuvaria for at least a year. This was not left unnoticed. The new government of Yuvaria would go on to do border skirmishes with the Creed of Zazarin damaging relations with Druk Yul as well and they would look greedily at the lands of Koblenz damaging the relations of the Hetmanate of Fedhrekaan. The Kingdom of Mercury and Valreach-Simulami, would renounce their MDP with Yuvaria with the removal of the previous king, King Ragnulf Curthose. The Constitutional Monarchy of Altryae and the Thieviocracy of Charm would renounce their MDP with Yuvaria with Subvert Dumeur's departure from Yuvaria. Things would only escalate as with news of the return of Robot to Yuvaria would spread to the north east. This lead to the hostile retaking of the lands of Mexrncast, Asteria, and Yun by Subvert and him declaring said lands independent. One thing would lead to another, Heizen, Halingard, and Hetznogald would also declare independence from the new government of Yuvaria. Former allies of Yuvaria including Mercury, Charm, and Druk Yul would also support the rebellion claim. It is believed the new government of Yuvaria attempted to gain support from Soolia, but were unable to perhaps due to the rebellions in the AWE. Forcing Yuvaria to search for smaller nations to ally with and eventually integrating themselves into the Argent Crownlands, thus formally ending the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria.

Aftermath & Legacy
In the immediate aftermath, Yuvaria would be carved up by the various powers involved in the conflict. Ultimately, the Argent Crownlands and remaining Yuvarian Government would end up taking much of Central and Western Yuvaria, primarily centered around the towns of Ethengard, Lowtharia, Novatorrejon, and Alesana. The towns of Mexrncast and Brailaheim, as well as much of their surrounding land would end up as part of Nathria. Volnygrad and Hetznogald, as well as much of the land formerly around Casterly Rock would end up being taken by Druk Yul. Most of the Northern lands centered around Halingard, Heizen, OldKarak, old Salisbury, and old Corallium would end up going to Nova Drackar.

Ultimately, the Yuvarian people suffered greatly in the immediate aftermath of the conflict. Within the short time of Yuvaria's collapse, it had lost nearly 2/3 of its population.

House of Ash
The House of Ash was the original ruling house of the Kingdom of Yuvaria during the first Kingdom and until the collapse of the Constitutional Monarchy of Yunria. The house of Ash was founded by Yuvaria's first king, Ashey. While Ashey had at least one known bastard, he was not married until late in life, and the marriage never bore any children, thus the House of Ash died out.

House of Atreiyen
The House of Atreiyen was the second and fourth ruling house of the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, and the town of Novatorrejon. In total, the house reigned only briefly, in total ruling for around a month and a half. The house was known for its many plots against the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, from trying to sell off the nation under the reign of Emperor Fluffy, to trying to coup the nation upon Fluffy's return to Yuvaria, to ultimately bringing about the nation's collapse under Abtorres Atreieyn. For much of the time it was not in power, the House of Atreieyen rules over the town of Novatorrejon in Drackar, waiting for the day it would ultimately re-unite with the rest of Yuvaria. Once it finally re-united, Abtorres Atreieyn would hold the title of prince until the nation's cllapse.

However, following the coup against them, the House of Curthose would largely withdraw from Yuvaria, before returning during the ensuing crisis. While not one of the primary players, the House of Curthose played a key role in rallying support for Nova Drackar within Yuvaria.

The Duchy of New Jvar initially would contain only its capital, Mexrncast, but would later contain the Kingdom of Majulah after it's integration into Yuvaria and later the town of Brailaheim. The House would notably be the first to rebel against the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, following the violation of the Yuvarian Resolution Treaty. The House would play a major role in bringing about an end to the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria.

The House of Primigan and the Duchy of Brailaheim would be dissolve as they would not be able to continue managing the lands and would be integrated into the Duchy of New Jvar. They would side with the rebellion in the final Yuvarian Crisis, and regain their lands in Brailaheim under the nation of Nathria.

House of Richardson
The House of Richardson, for much of its existance, was a knightly house within the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria. However, due to their loyal service, the House of Richardson was granted the Duchy of Brailaheim during the final Yuvarian Crisis.
