Ancient Umbria

"'If I can, I will.'"-Vandoro, The Shepherd

Realm of Umbria
Umbria goes by many names to accommodate the vast demographic of its many peoples, each with their different origins.

The Aetherians
Even as the Aetherians are their own splinter race from the Ancient Umbrian ethnic group, the title "Aetherian" is what is used to describe all the northern peoples as a whole, whether they are born here or immigrate here. You do not need to have Aetherian blood to be called Aetherian. As such, Umbria is also considered the "Aetherian Realm", a way to be inclusive to any and all who come to live here.

Democracy in The North
The Realm is purely democratic, with the Goldstone Family considered to only act as Hereditary Protectors. The Goldstones cannot make decisions for Umbria, without their people's consent. While, historically, Umbria has not been purely democratic with coming under rule by kings and absolute provincial governors, the belief in Democracy has always been strong and a sense of independence from the rest of Chevkri's [Ruling Nation] old Monarchy has prevented Umbria from being oppressed/overruled. As such, our current government is moving towards a system of a direct democracy, akin to its neighbor The Republic of Montroig.



The Empire Days
Umbria is the only province to have an existing independent nation prior to joining Chevkri/Uldarash. As the Umbrian Empire, it had recorded history:"'Started on February 15 [2021] by sbbaseball21 the current high king in their 3 king oligarchy system where the people vote for the kings. That same day one king by the name of greyTubby stepped down after a assignation attempt on the high king. To show they don't take treason lightly they killed the attacker and have his head on a pike to this day. The peoples next king is a pink sheep by the name of Pinkos he leads them towards a new religion centered around him. As their capital city of Russantia grows so does there claim of land docs for trade have been set up as well as the great bridge that connects there capital building to the main settlement. Recently a unnamed fort has gone under construction as a defense against war well growing there army. On Moon island there potato farm grows, as does there spruce forest, and bamboo forest they still only need one grass block to begin the process of getting grass on the island. The terraforming of the island has slowed it remains a giant pancake with a folded front.'"-sbbaseball21, written on the first day of the Empire's founding

The Umbrian Empire had a record number of 70 active players [word from sbbaseball21] and was visited by players all over Old Rathnir.

The Aetherial Realm
The Realm of Umbria is the oldest province, as it is the only province to have existed before Chevkri, itself, and as an independent nation that was, at one point, one of the strongest powers in Haven. For that, Umbria has retained an independent culture that still grows strong, and propagated a social atmosphere of self-reliance, liberation, and independent thinking.
