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 outside threats from Druk Yul,AWE,Nova Drackar,Nathria and Charm would force the nation to go extinct.

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 outside as well as inside threats.

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.

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 inspired many who used to call themselves "Yuvarians" and their subsequent betrayal and disregard for treaties. Within the short time of Yuvaria's collapse, it had lost only a fraction 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. In a request to redeem the family name, Abtorres would join his hand in marriage to Antares Lowther to attempt to bring a new age for Yuvaria, however for the nation was left in a sorry state a state Abtorres wished to resolve but before any edicts and changes could be made Yuvaria was no more thanks to the very people who left Yuvaria in this state.

House of Curthose
The House of Curthose was the third and primary ruling house of the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, and of the Duchy of Halingard. Its leader, Ragnulf Curthose, preside over Yuvaria's most enduring time as it stood the longest out of any previous rule. However, the House of Curthose incited rebellion within Yuvaria after its peaceful resignation from the thrown as after such a long rule it was apparent that Yuvaria had grown weak and became a target for external powers such as Druk Yul and Nova Drackar. No doubt he brought the most peaceful era for Yuvaria but neglected the people of the nation, and in direct response to his resignation he aided foreign powers to try and reclaim his thrown and utterly failed.

House of Dumeur
The House of Dumeur was the former ruling house of the Duchy of New Jvar. The current head of the house was Subvert Dumeur, the founder of the House. 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. With the fall and coup of the kingdom however, the house would leave with the Kingdom of Majulah and sign a treaty which included Robot’s exiled from the lands of Yuvaria. While the exact details of the treaty have now become lost, very shortly after the treaty was signed, the government would hold a vote citing concerns of foreign activity and would reinstate Robot as part of the high government and in charge of it’s military. Following the return, the House of Dumeur would return to Mexrncast and claim it’s independence with the backing of the Thieviocracy of Charm citing a breaking in the treaty and concerns of the nation’s integrity from foreign powers among other things. Mexrncast would gain independence along with Brailaheim following the nation’s merger with the Argent Crownlands as the Thieviocracy of Charm and the Argent Crownlands had an MDP in place, forcing the war onto the diplomatic table. Some believe the actions of the House were just, others felt differently. However, in the eyes of the House’s head, ''“Yuvaria had once been part of a great culture and people, but those days have long come and gone. The former king made a valiant effort at preserving a great legacy’s soul, but even then Yuvaria was simply a corpse. And now, even a grave for that corpse isn’t able to be seen. I should’ve had heeded my old friend Astraas’s advice, I regret so now.”''

House of Irwine

Towards the end of the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria, the house for leading one of the fastest growing towns in the nation, and for its members rapidly ascending the ranks of the government through merit and hard work. They would ultimately end up siding with Argent during the final Yuvarian Crisis, declaring their devout loyalty to Yuvaria and would lose much of their land in Brailaheim, although they would continue to hold the town of Ethengard. The House of Irwine promises to return Yuvaria to its former glory, much has to be done and earned, through their meritocratic beliefs they believe that the aftermath is only a time to become stronger and not a time to feel weak and defeated.

The former head of the house was Bil Primigan, although he was not the founder of the house. However, because of the fact that he was the head of the house when the nobility was established, he is its first duke and only. 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. Their allegiance was unknown until the peace talks between Argent and Nathria, Bil would later join the newly reformed Nathria leaving many in Yuvaria puzzled and confused as many onlooked his return as one with a bright future but only to be disappointed.

The current head of the house is GoldenTigris78, who is the founder of the house. The House of Tigris were not the founders of Volyngrad, but rather inherited it after the line of its founders died out. The House of Tigris would lose Volyngrad in a peace deal between Argent and Druk Yul. The House of Tigris would subsequently leave Yuvaria following the exchange to find better opportunity in the lands of Ashai, largely being embittered towards all sides in the conflict.

The House of Mayclair is a direct branch family of the House of Dumeur and was created with Majulah's integration into Yuvaria. The House of Mayclair would be no longer associated with Yuvaria after the departure of it and the Kingdom of Majulah after the ascension of the new King and Premier. In the aftermath of the Yuvarian Crisis, partly caused by its father house, it would end up as part of the Nation of Nathria under Charm.

House of Hetz
The House of Hetz was the ruling house of the small village of Hetznogald, and was a vassal to the House of Tigris. The house manned a border fort on the Yuvarian frontier, and was one of the more martial families in the Second Kingdom of Yuvaria.

The House of Lowther was derived from the ancient nobles of the Shelgori people a near extinct ethnicity of people who inhabited the Towns of Shelgorim and Ethereal located in the Old Province of Nathria who have long since been pillaged and abandoned. Antares the Last Shelgor was taken in by Lsuvfar former King of the The Second Kingdom Of Yuvaria and was bestowed a new home in direct recognition of his people's prior service to Yunria, upon this milestone Antares declared a new chapter for his people on this new land Lowther "Land touched by water" he became Antares Lowther and named his holding Lowtharia "Land of Lowther". The House of Lowther would later play a major role in the formation of the New Kingdom of Yuvaria and its unfortunate demise, for the crippled nation of Yuvaria had little hope against the majors powers of the AWE, Druk Yul, Nova Drackar and Charm who only saw Yuvaria as a bounty, a fate similarly shared by Antares's past in the halls of Shelgorim which only aided his focus on rebuilding Yuvaria even if its existence is surrounded in alot of grey.
