Kingdom of Boulderov

The Kingdom of Boulderov or Shil Remuyadlemha ed Boulder IPA:// in Boulderovian was a nation nestled in the southwest corner of Rathnir on the continent of Haven, and borders Trafalgar to south, Aurora to north, Chevkri to east and Savernia to northeast. Its formation dates back to January 24, 2021 when BoltonYale built a small tavern on the banks of an unnamed river, next to a Boulder that would eventually become the focus of the religion of Boulderism. It was one of the three nations that tried to unite Haven.[GREAT CHANGES, MIMEK KING.]. The Kingdom of Boulderov was a province of the Second Empire of Uldarash, and fought valiantly during the Uldarash Civil War. It eventually merged with the Kingdom of Sanctuary to form the Hearthstone Yuldai.

Some notable members include King Mimek, Regent Ted Hastings, Duke CookieMan12, Duke Mikkel S. Baggins, Duke Falconael, and Duchess Joan K. Baggins.

Provinces
The Kingdom of Boulderov was split into five provinces:

Patria - The oldest province, where the capital is located. There is also The Cathedral and Castle Arn Drath. It is ruled by Duke CookieMan12

Paldesji - A mountainous province with lots of smaller cities in it, like Ziemia, Yldthgnia and Cragford. It is ruled by Duchess Joan K. Baggins form it's capital in Ziemia. With a mountain range to the north and south most Paldesjians live in the fertile valley between them.

Harria - A coastal province with ports, ruled by Duke Mikkel S. Baggins.

Aleeous - A province in which the beautiful temple city of Valanor is located in. It is ruled by Duke Falconael

Bolodravoha - A province in the the far northeastern corner of Rathnir, where the holy Primordial Boulder is located

The Great Changes
Boulderov up to these times seemed to prosper, but everything had to change. Conflict between province of Savernia, and the government of Boulderov kept on escalating, and a war could break out at any moment. Two of the High Councillors even planned a genocide of Savernia people. Fortunately, such an event never happened. Instead, one of the High Councillors, Panda, began to plan a great change to Boulderov. They would abandon old ways of religious persecution, and he would become the Chancellor, one with most power. His plans also included stripping High Councillor Tati of their position, but everything was supposed to be resolved with a legal vote. Such plans were deemed as a coup attempt. Supporters of Panda were declared as traitors and were supposed to be executed. During the chaos Savernia has been granted independence by the Boulderov government. After these events, High Councillor Tati and the High Councillor Bolton left the nation, and with Panda gone Mimek has been declared as the only High Councillor.

Boulderov was on the verge of collapse. Mimek has declared himself himself the King of Boulderov, founding the Kingdom of Boulderov. He appointed Ted Hastings to the position of Regent, his second in command. The new king came to an agreement with Lady Hazel and King Olly of Savernia, solidifying the borders between the two countries. Savernia proper was granted the Province of Savernia, along with parts of Voha and Hutan. Thanks to this, the Kingdom of Boulderov was divided into three provinces: Patria, Harria, and a new province named Aleeous.

Global warming and lead pollution
In recent times there were multiple tropical trees spotted in all Boulderov. It was believed that the global warming was behind it, and so to combat it citizens picked up their axes and started chopping at any jungle related plant they could spot. There were plans to build a wall on the east borders to keep the Chevkrian jungle from spreading further, but they were never followed through.

A traveling scientist discovered that the Kingdom of Boulderov is located above a large lead deposit, making all the ground water polluted with it. Because of that, most of Boulderov’s population is poisoned with lead, causing mild insanity.

The Uldarash Civil War and Eldham Entente Intervention
During the Uldarash Civil War, Boulderov supported Nikephoros. Boulderov sent their soldiers to most of the battles that took place, and in the end emerged victorious in all of them. However, the situation changed after the Eldham Entente intervened in the conflict. After Uldarashi forces lost the Battle of Fornost by just a few points, morale throughout the Empire worsened. The Eldham Entente went on the offensive, conquering Chevkri's Eldham colony, and even capturing Boulderov's colony of Pedrera. Thankfully, because Boulderov surrendered Pedrera without fighting, and King Mimek's cooperation with the transfer, the Eldham Entente returned the colony back to Boulderov after the war ended.

Ziemia's revival
The city of Ziemia was established by Empress Scotch Knight, during her days as the Boulderov Maiden. It grew rapidly, and at one point the High Councillors considered making it the new capital. Unfortunately activity plummeted, and soon enough the city was abandoned. A few months later, a citizen of Boulderov, Owenledragon173, attempted to revive the city, although unfortunately this attempt failed, and the city once again was left abandoned.

Weeks after Boulderov went through the period of Great Changes, recruiter Attaccare took it upon himself to revive the old city, hoping to transform it into a shining beacon of the Kingdom's new prosperity. His staunch efforts paid off, as the city began to grow rapidly - even exceeding Pedregal's activity. Ziema was rebuilt, beautified, and improved. Various shops began to appear, like DragonMaster1616's Bazaar, Joan K. Baggins's Bakery, and Hizenisgod's & Rusty Rat's market.

Founding of Future Market
A pair of squatters was found southwest of Boulderov, on the border with Trafalgar - Arsen The Wanderer, and Pekos. They were informed of their squatter status, but were given a choice to settle somewhere else, more fitting to create a merchant town. On a map they were given, a certain spot was marked as "future market", and so they decided to settle there on 27th of December, 2021, keeping the name. During its peak, the city was the fastest growing one in the nation, even having a healthy rivalry with its sister nation - Ziemia.

Harria's split
After Harria's population skyrocketed, there was a need to split the big province into two more manageable ones: Harria - the coastal part, and Paldesji - the inland part. The first one kept being ruled by Mikkel S. Baggins, and the new province Paldesji began to be ruled by Joan K. Baggins.

Migration of Galations
The town of Galations was founded in Bardonia on October 31st, 2021. Due to internal conflicts with the Bardonia, the town was forced to migrate away from their homelands. They asked The Second Empire of Uldarash for a place to stay, and ultimately chose The Kingdom of Boulderov. Ashlyn Galations was granted the title of Baroness, and eventually became an Advisor. They were granted a large strip of land west of Pedregal to build on, and the city was connected to Boulderov's speed road network. The Great Garf was taken down weeks before Galations moved to these lands. After few days of their stay the grass withered, trees turned into quartz and coal, and mushrooms replaced flowers. In this hellish forest the people of Galations found a powerful artifact - a Netherite Chestplate with impossible enchantments. Boulderites believed it was a sign, and a gift from The Diorite Golem and so they celebrated. During the Goonfist wedding of Baroness Ashlyn Genasias, the priest, Stoney Stoner, revealed that the site was a grave of sorts. The details are unfortunately unknown.

Purchase of Bolodravoha
After the collapse of Bardonia, a nation of Drahalad ruled by Lord Bilbo Baggins was founded. Maybe it was luck or destiny, but within its borders rested The Primordial Boulder, being incredibly important to Boulderism. King Mimek purchased the land, along with the city of Ardena, which was met with opposition by various groups. He called the land "Bolodravoha", meaning "land of boulder", although it is often referred as the Boulderov Enclave. The Third Empire of Andorn believed the purchase was illegitimate (due to them disputing Drahalad), and sent a military expedition to occupy the city of Ardena, while other groups set offers to buy the city. Negotiations were handled poorly by King Mimek, and he decided to leave the fate of the enclave to diplomats and Emperors of the Uldarash.

Friendship of Three States
During months of March and February of 2022 states Boulderov, Sanctuary, and Alfheim developed mutual friendship, ultimately resulting in treaties being signed by the states recognizing the others as official friends and allies. Citizen exchange was encouraged, which resulted in mixing of Sanctuary and Boulderov's population. Getting to Sanctuary from Boulderov was quite consuming task, as the two states were divided by the Heart of Haven. Rulers of the two nations agreed to improve the connection by constructing an ice road, but at the time they were considered illegal by the Second Empire of Uldarash. On March 12th 2022, an Ice Road Legalization Bill written by Queen Joan K. B. Bolodrav, and proposed by King Mimek Bolodrav was passed in the High Council of Uldarash, after a heated debate.

Hearthstone Union
The Empire of Uldarash disbanded on March 22nd, 2022. The next day, The Kingdom of Boulderov and The Kingdom of Sanctuary officially left the Empire, and decided their futures would be better secured as one entity. After a long history of cooperation and friendship, Boulderov and Sanctuary finally merged, forming the Hearthstone Yuldai, and ending the Kingdom of Boulderov.
