Province of Eden



= The Province of Eden = The Province of Eden, also known as the Province of Eden or short Eden, is an area in the southeast of Plagos and is an old Tsardom which is now part of the Lunari Empire. It is mainly inhabited by an ancient race of elves that originated from another dimension.

Geographic Location
The province of Eden includes the area of Thorn, which is the most southern point of the continent of Plagos, and the island group south of Thorn. The northern islands are located in the Shattered Sea, while the main island is in the Osterium Sea. The local population calls the surrounding sea "The Paradise Sea." The eastern part of the sea is filled with ice fields that act as a natural border to protect against, for example, pirates.

Climate
While the continental climate in the north is very hot, the southeast is very calm and has rarely experienced any massive temperature changes. This is also due to the ice fields in the sea, which cool the warm air coming from the north and give the islands a never-ending spring-like climate.

Prominent Cities
There are a total of three cities that are known in Eden. The first, oldest, and most important one is Frühlingsend. Frühlingsend is the capital city of the province of Eden. It was first inhabited by the ancient elves and dwarves in March of 2021. While never being directly involved in any war, Frühlingsend has seen its fair share of wartime history. The city features a flat landscape in the south and has a small hill in the north-west and a small mountain in the north-east of its isle. The three oldest buildings on the island are the three homes of the three founders of the city. The three founders are: Aepollonier, BeautifulPoison and Daytha. Aepollonier has the role of ruling over the newfound city and nation.

The second city is Tsukikage, formerly known by the local people as the home of the Xillion Empire, was rebuild by Nico Nagaheart after the first collapse in the east. The city is an Asian-styled city with many beautiful gardens and an overall peaceful atmosphere. The relations between Tsukikage and Frühlingsend are very good. After hearing that someone was rebuilding the island, Aepollonier welcomed Nico and told her about the old history that place had. Originally, the island Tsukikage is built on was much smaller, but with the combined force of the people of Frühlingsend and Xillion, the people expanded the island's size.

Thorn was planned to become the main trading city in the province. But since the Lord, who was assigned the task of building the city, left without any trace, Thorn remains a ghost town to this day. Before the people of Eden came to Thorn, the desert was home to an ancient group of people that went on instinct for yet unknown reasons.

Early History
After the exodus from their home world, Aepollonier, BeautifulPoison, and Daytha found themselves scattered around all of Rathnir. They met at the location of BeautifulPoison, which was in the area of north Plagos. Aepollonier was the first to arrive, followed by Daytha. They set up a small base inside a swamp that is known to them today by the name "The Berryswamp". Wild berries were their only source of nutrition, so they planted as many berries around themselves as they could.

After looking around for a new place to call home, they decided to head south to find an island for themselves. They began their journey with two sheep. They left a third sheep in the Berryswamp, where it is currently living. The settlers arrived with two sheep, which they transported on boats. Their navigator, Daytha, unsuccessfully attempted to assess their position within Rathnir, failing to produce an accurate map of their surrounding area. Due to the lack of modern navigation equipment, the settlers had to rely on an old map. During their passage, they crossed a man-made island protected by an energy field that prevented them from re-entering their boats after landing. They were unable to regain control over their vessels. They had to abandon the landed boats, losing one of their sheep in the process. After swimming in the Osterium Sea for a while, they finally arrived in the area where they settled today.

4. Under imperial rule
While trying to announce to the rest of the world that Eden is its own kingdom, the ruler of Plagatéa, Tagavor Nero, came into contact with Aepollonier. Nero's vision was to have Plagos united under one banner, and so he invited Eden to join his cause. Aepollonier had no other choice and joined Plagatéa. After just a small amount of time, the people of Eden realised that most of the Plagatéans are nice people and they lived in harmony together in peace. Shortly after, new people came to the islands and wanted to build up an empire. These were the people of Xillion. The first contact with Eden was peaceful and they realised that their languages are very similar.

5. Lunaris and the time
After resolving the problems with Skjoldbrodir, Eden beacame part of Lunaris. While Aepollonier wasn't happy at first, he came to realise that under current rule, Eden saw the most peace.

Time went by and Aepollonier became the sole resident of Frühlingsend. The other cities and areas of Eden came under new rulers and Frühlingsend, once a alive city, became silent. "My heart hurts, seeing that only I am left here, I don't want to leave... I want and need to protect my home... But I am old... old and tired.", said Aepollonier to himself.

Lunaris at the current moment is planing on renovating the city and creating new homes for its citizens. Aepollonier is happy to see that the island could be alive once more, but is also concerned about keeping the old face of his home land the same. He is in a very very emotional situation right now.
