Kordania

Kordania is a city that lies at the Southernmost tip of the Island of Tálor.

About The City of Kordania
Kordania is a small seaside city located on the southern tip of the island of Talor, within Rathnir. Kordania also is a part of The Zeosi Empire. It was originally a squatter town in Yimmu-Audal but after talks of integration and even war, it joined the nation of Yimmu-Audal on November 28th, which then merged with Aldovir to become the Empire Of Astyllea. Astyllea later collapsed prompting the reformation of Yimmu-Audal, where Kordania later seceded into the Zeosi Empire. It was founded on October 15th, 2021, by Trev48809 who wanted to build a small home for himself and his friends to stay in. Megavolt280, is another founder of Kordania, joining the city just 1 day after its founding. It was built on a small cliff, overlooking a bay that lead into the ocean. The city has later expanded to accommodate over half of the Island Of Tálor, building a fortress on the mountain, and another section on the Northern part of the island, and farmland on lower portions of the Island closer to Tálor.

Duchy of Kordania
After the short collapse of the Astyllean Empire, the Kingdom of Tálor of which the City of Kordania was within was granted its own independence and sovereignty. During this short period of sovereignty, the King (Silverchu) and Head Diplomat (Centurion Rochelle-Audalad) granted Kordania its own Duchy within the Kingdom of Tálor, consuming the area which included its colony Coilton and neighboring military settlement of Fort Blackmont. The Duchy marked it self as the most populous Duchy in the Kingdom of weeks to come.

Shortly after this, Kordania experienced a downfall in citizens and activity, but it once again began to slowly regain members. Because the new reforms of the Kingdom of Tálor (now part of the nation; High Kingdom of Yimmu-Audal) the borders of the Duchy of Kordania changed to now include, the City of Kordania, Jaminia, Kecenia, VanVoxia, and Turora-Loca. The Duchy is run by Duke, Trev48809.

Kordania's Architecture
Kordania is most well known for its stunning architecture, and extremely talented builders, such as Beaglebasset24, FantasticMrLuke, Cyp3r, and many more! Kordania has beautiful landscaping, and eye catching buildings. Ships can even be spotted off the coast.

Zeos' Landing
Kordania in colaboration with Count of Tálor, Praetor, is building a fortress on the mountain on the island of Talor, called Valor Citadel. The fortress will have many towers, overlook Kordania, and the entire island of Talor. This project is still under way, but has since changed its name to Zeos’s Landing, and Count Praetor has left the project.

The Kordanian Monarchy
Kordania's current leader is founder Trev48809, who has formed a monarchy over Kordania, governing the City as he pleases, (under the rule of its higher empire of course) but in a fair way. People in Kordania are not taxed, but recommended to donate Money to Kordania every once in a while.

Kordanian Culture
Kordania's main attractions include, a giant temple, built by third member, Beaglebasset24, the capitol building with a dining hall and office, the Winslow Bar; a great place to grab a drink and hang out (run by Megavolt280), A storage house, where all resources are kept safely, farms, the Kordanian Trade Center built by Beaglebasset24, and a big Korvort statue off the the coast.

Religion
Kordania supports religious freedom, but highly recommends and endorses the Worship Of Kovort. Korvort, the God of sea, will bring the end of the world by rising the oceans if not pleased. (aka we don't believe in ice cap melting/global warming lol) Korvort likes to take the shape of a giant sea serpent, but can shape shift into anything.

Founding Lore - Written By Beaglebasset24
Trev48809 had been living a peaceful life in his home, which was located somewhere in a town of southern Rathnir just off the coast. On a day just like any other, the town was ransacked and raided by a band of pirates. They left nothing unturned and even took some of the villagers hostage in order to make them work. Unfortunately for Trev, he was one of those few.

For months Trev watched helplessly as the pirates continued to plunder and raid other coastal villages, with each town a new bunch of workers were brought aboard. Many of them died because of the lack of food and water they were given so they had to always take new people from each village. Eventually, Trev met Megavolt280 who had also been taken hostage, the two of them grew close together with each night spent on the ship. Trev and Mega became good friends after a few weeks, even sharing food and drink as they did their best to keep each other alive in the poor conditions. As time went on they began to think out an escape plan.

The two of them knew things weren't going to get any better, and that the only hope they had was to try and jump ship when they were near land. Once they had it planned out, they picked a date and it was settled. Both of them would escape this ship. But before that date arrived, the ship sailed through a storm. This storm was unlike any other, the sails were tearing from the strong winds, the deck being destroyed by the heavy waves crashing down on it. This was truly the work of a God.

The pirates commanded the workers to go above deck and bring the supplies below, some refused and were shot for disobeying. This made the rest uneasy and they unwillingly went. As soon as the first man stepped outside he was knocked overboard by a wave even strong enough to take a cannon that slid off the side of the deck and into the black abyss with him. Most of the workers had just brought down the bulk of the supplies, but a small number, including Trev and Mega we're bringing down the final crates.

When suddenly the two of them and the last of the workers spotted a creature in the water. One that dwarfed the ship in size, not a shark, a whale, or a squid. This was a serpent. A pale serpent, double the size of the ship, maybe more. Its eyes were as red as blood, and fangs the size of a man. This was a monster. The sea serpent had to have been Korvort, a God of the sea. A tale that every coastal town, sailor, and pirate knew of, stories of a sea serpent big enough to topple a ship with one whip of his tail. With that final thought, it happened. The tail of Korvort rose above the sea, leaving the workers frozen in fear, until it dropped. Time seemed to slow at first, the workers couldn’t move, the rain fell, lightning spread across the sky, and thunder roared. Then time sped up again, and with a loud crash the ship was split down the middle. Both halves were airborne for a moment. People spilled out of the now wide open lower deck, and the people on the upper deck had been thrown.

Trev and Mega, who were both on the upper deck, were now in the air. For a few seconds the clouds didn’t seem that far away, until they started falling. Fear built up as the black water got closer and closer, until… Nothing. They had hit the water and the impact had rendered them both unconscious.

Days went by before Trev had awoken. Washed up on the shore of an island, and Mega was nowhere to be found. He didn’t know what to think. He was set free, before he and Mega even had a chance to set their plan in motion. But it was just him, was Mega even alive? Trev couldn’t continue thinking that way so he spent the majority of the day searching for his friend along the shore. But Mega was nowhere to be found. He then reluctantly gave up and made a small campfire where he had washed ashore, staring blankly into the sea as night began to fall,  Trev thought to himself “Was this fate? Did Korvort spare me for a reason?”.

He drifted off thinking to himself until he spotted something in the water. A plank of wood, and a body. It was slowly drifting towards the island, Trev stood up and walked slowly to the coast. He knew that man, it was Mega. There was no way of telling if he was alive or not but Trev was not about to leave him in the water, dead or alive. He then quickly ran out into the water and swam to the plank of wood. He grabbed it and began swimming back to land, dragging Mega along with him. Trev found his footing on the sandy shore and he pulled Mega onto the land, but in that moment, just as the sun had set, the outline of a white creature was seen in the water and the very tip of what looked to be a tail surfaced before delving back into the now dark sea with a small splash. In that very second, Mega had awoken. As Mega gasped for air, Trev understood. This was no coincidence, this was destiny. The two men had been chosen by Korvort, chosen by the sea, to be his people.

Since that fateful day the pair had begun building homes for themselves, but to their surprise more people began to wash ashore the island. The first was BeagleBasset24, a man who was being sent across seas with a group of workers and builders to construct a town. Both Trev and Mega had brought him into their newly built house. When he woke Beagle told them his story, the ship was due to sail through some rocky waters, which shouldn’t have been a problem, if it wasn’t for the storm that shook the ship with each wave slamming against the hull. The ship had apparently gone head first into a jagged rock island. The clash had caused Beagle as well as many others to be heaved overboard and into the dark water. At some point Beagle had been knocked unconscious, until now.

Trev and Mega then knew this man was like them, chosen by the ocean. They took the time to explain to Beagle why he was here and what it meant. This of course was a shock to Beagle, to be chosen by a God. But after a few hours he understood the situation, Beagle took pride in this. Just as Trev and Mega both did. But Beagle wasn’t the last person to be washed ashore. More and more people began to be found along the island's coast, the construction of the houses soon became the construction of a town. It was named Kordania, named after the God of the sea Korvort. Each of the men had been calloused by the wrath of the sea, they had survived it and now they've been chosen by it. With the rapid growth in population the town had sprung to life, soon after the town was founded the “Temple of Korvort” had been built, by Beagle. This marked the true beginning of Kordania’s glorious journey.
