Zarnu Audal

Zarnu-Audal, officially the Principality of Zarnu-Audal, is a nation situated in the south-east of Syltör. It is a vassal of Yimmu-Audal. Its name translates to "western islands" in Traveler's Tongue.

Geography
Zarnu-Audal is made up of two islands close from each other. The biggest and primary island is a natural island slightly elevated from the sea. The second and smallest islands is called Juno and is an heavily terraformed island from which not much remain.

The capital of Zarnu-Audal is Aradusu, it is located on a fortified mountain on the main island, it is the home to the government as well as most houses.

The small town of Urnu Dulai is located on the island of Juno, the smallest of the two, and is made up of an artificial stone plateform on which houses are built. It will soon be destroyed during an effort to make the island natural again.

Pre-Romash Period
The Island was first visited by Magnentius and a force of volunteers traveling to the seige of new Dorasterrock, they made a stash of gear and set their respawn beds on the island, after the siege they returned, collected their items, posted a sign to recognize their visit and left for home.

Romash Period
During the fall of the 4th Bardonian Empire, the rulers of Bardonia created a map updated and excluded the islands from the update by mistake. Magnentius then posted a announcement claiming the islands. He gathered his supports from Astyllea (those who didn't like its government system and wished to do something on our own) and they called ourselves the Romashi. They traveled to the island and found a town had been made by the Syndii, they gathered up support from the Emperor of Astyllea (at the time Centurion) and managed to force them to sell their land claim and the islands. after some mediation between the collapsing government of Bardonia and Astyllea, Romash was created. It remained a independent principality for several months until all of those who came to the islands with Magnentius left, they either returned to Alteniquia after the fall of Astyllea or they became inactive. Magnentius eventually decided to take a step back from the server and granted the principality to his son and heir in accordance with the inheritance laws of the Rochelle Dynasty, that being Ser_Centurion (Centurion).

Early Zarnite Period
Centurions first actions as ruler was to rename Romash to Zarnu-Audal (meaning western islands in Audalad) and populated it with family members of the Rochelle dynasty. He renamed the main town to Aradusu (meaning paradise in Audalad) and wanted to create a spot for the Audaladae and people of Alteniquia to relax, and focus on worldbuilding away from the geopolitics of their home nations. Centurion added the island Kingdom of Prulia (just off the coast of Haven) to the principality, as well as annexing Bainfalla and adding it to Zarnu as an autonomous overseas territory. The islands of Magisterium which had been purchased from the Magisterium for a great sum, had gone abandoned. A decision was made to keep up relations with Magisterium by adding the region (which is located less then a dozen chunks from Urnu-Arrak Capital of Yimmu-Audal), to Zarnu-Audal instead.

Middle Zarnite Period
Centurion ruled the principality in cooperation with Yimmu-Audal as a triumvir of Certaria. However a large coalition attacked the independent principality demanding its annexation. Centurion added the lands to Certaria to save them, however that was temporary, Certaria eventually fell and the islands once again reverted to independence. This time they joined Yimmu-Audal as a state. However soon issues would arise with several of its territories. Bainfalla would revolt and join Azuria, Prulia would be attacked (however that attack was repelled) and soon Centurion stepped down from Yimmu-Audal. The Next prince was SilverChu, eldest son of Centurion. He ruled the prinipality for several months until another series of invasions lefts the main islands vulnerable, Bardonia captured Aradusu and Zarnu was made a state under the Bardonian Empire. Prulia and the Magisterium islands both got added to Yimmu-Audal, while Magnentius then took over control of Zarnu once again (Magnentius II), he ruled as a governor of the island in the name of Bardonia. this saw settlment of several Bardonians as dual citizens of Zarnu. However this would not last. Bardonia fell due to a large scale war on the continent. Ryazan and Bardonia fought continuously. during this infighting several towns and states inside Bardonia revolted. It was during this time that Magnentius declared Zarnu-Audal once again a independent principality.

Late Zarnite Period
During this time Magnentius stepped down from ruling entrusting it to several of his kin, including DP305, Mithridates, and Silverchu. Eventually the principality would go through changes including massive depopulation (caused by the Bardonian dual citizens leaving) as well as stagnation. the Land claim would eventually be lost when its owner failed to upkeep it. The principality was saved by Er. Er other then Void was from Galladon while Void is the youngest son of Silverchu, former prince of Zarnu-Audal. Er mananged to save the island and town from destruction, despite this Void ruled the principality as a Vassal of Yimmu-Audal for some time.

Modern Zarnite Period
Magnentius returns, to see his beloved home safe and intact. finding that a family member managed to maintain control of the principality, keeping it independent. Void would be named Duke of Audal in Yimmu-Audal, and would grant the Principality once again back to Magnentius, (Magnentius III)
