Arxella

General Overview
Arxella also known as the Holy Tzardom of Greater Arxella is a Nation situated primarily on the northern continent of Sparwood with its capital city Vosokogrod being located in the South West, centered between the Swamps and Forests of Northern Continent. In its existence it had bordered the nations of Soleannen Empire of Escharia, Vraelea, Fjellheim, Spyre and Maldun.

The Nation seemingly is styled and influenced by the Tsardom of Russia and perhaps to a extent with its empire counterpart, this can be seen from the use of the title of Tzar a traditionally held title by the rulers of Russia. The nation's given name Arxella is of unknown origins. The official language of the Nation is currently Travelers Tongue. “The most widely spoken language in the World".

The nation origonated when a group of Bardonian colonists were sent by The Chancellor Unicornboy to creat a bardonian trading outpost to assert the nations claim in Sparwood, however apon arriving the colonisers were set upon by countless  bandits and vagabonds, The majority or the settlers were killed before a week was up and the rest were driven underground, This is why there are hundreds of underground ruins scattered all round Vosokogrod and beyond, Gradually the Settlers took back their settlment and drove off the occupying forces,  Due to the young colonys Baptism by fire Tzar Ferro decided to name the new Vassal state, Arxella, meaning Golden Citadel in the native tongue.

The young nation fought off several Invasions by Maldun with the Help of their Bardonian overlords, The Battles fought Ravaged the Arxellan countryside, taking Hundreds of the Nations young men, A new Arxellan offensive along with Bardonian and Kostucan Support Took the Maldun capital along with An Olleapen weapons factory, (A greek fire type device) Developed by Maldun and used against the Arxellan population, The Arxellans would then use these weapons against the Maldun Troops Forcing the Government to submit and for maldun to dissolve weeks later.

In the Ferrymen war The Arxellan Tzar Ferro acompanied his Superior Unicornboy into battle, Remaining by his side as he was cut down by a swarm of Ferrmen in the Confines of a ruined building, Only surviving himself by pretending to be dead,     When Ferro limped into Vosokogrod he was placed into a Comatose state his Adviosors Declared independence From Bardonia as it collapsed and Formed the Holy Tzardom of greater Arxells When Ferro woke up from his deep slumber he was shocked at the News, but he was later informed His beloved Bardonia has fallen greatly.

Location & Territory
Locations:

Arxella

Vosokogrod:

Historical capitol of Arxella; Medieval Russian/German style.

As the original old city of Vosokogrod was underground, large amounts of stone was obtained. When the city moved aboveground, that stone was used to create the city. However, more recently this old large supply of surplus stone has begun to run out, causing Vosokogrod architects to turn more to wood as the go to resource. As a result, you can tell pretty accurately the age of different buildings and sections of the city by how much wood is used in the construction. (This is actually true, by coincidence the newer buildings tend to have more wood)

Golgograd:

Current capital of Arxella; Medieval Russian/German style.

Built along a river, Golgograd is an old city with a long history. Founded during the original Tzardom, this once small village has now grown in both size and importance, functioning as the capital of the 2nd and 3rd Tzardom. The original buildings are still kept in good condition and preserved as historical sites. The nearby town of Fordor was eventually absorbed into Golgograd, becoming a sub-district of the town. A large wall was built around it during the conflict with the Kartek Caliphate.

Sologrod:

Town in West Arxella; Medieval Russian/German style.

Town in West Arxella; Medieval German/Russian style.

Arxellan Milltary

The original Arxellan Royal Guard was an elite mercenary group permanently hired by Tzar Ferro. However, after a generation or two, the children of the royal guard had been raised as loyal Arxellen citizens, and so the Royal Guard transformed into a non-mercenary Arxellan military brach. The Royal Guard was renowned for their unorthodox yet highly effective fighting style featuring shields with spikes and sharpened edges used to attack as well as defend.
