Andorn

The Empire of Andorn is kingdom located in northwestern Syltör.

Pog-Bar Period
The Pog-Bar period, started with the founding of Pillars of the Sun, a quite large city within the current Andorian borders. The Pog-Bar period got its name from the chain of bars that HimoS401, the original founder of Pillars of the sun, owned.

Old Andorn period
The Old Andorn period began on December 14, 2020., when the kingdom was recognized by HimoS401. Its territory was originally claimed by Pog Bar, in Pillars of the Sun.

The old Andornian period saw great growth in the size, population and power on Rathnir's political stage; the population grew so much that it comprised 2% of Rathnir's population at the time.

Ryzani Purchase
The Ryzani conflict began as inactivity between the Andornian ranks started to grew. HimoS401 was one of the last player that was active in the Andornian communities, so HimoS401 decided, that the only thing he can do now is sell Andornian territories to foreign power. The day that this happened was the 15th of March 2021, when HimoS401 sold the entirety of Andorn to Ryzan.

"I have sold Andorn to Ryzan. After weeks of being dead, I decided to profit off the inactivity" ... " CanadianToss is in (mostly) full control over Andorn."

-HimoS401 when announcing the purchase Andorn was part of the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire until it collapsed 3 days after the purchase due to infighting on power control.

Andorn Crisis
The Andorn Crisis was an event in Andorn history where the entire political system fell apart. This was mostly caused by the failures of Jacw in his running of Bardonia after the ferryman war. Read more about this point in history here

Holy Syltör Empire
The Holy Syltör Empire (HSE) began as a result of Bardonia's conquest of the Ryzan Confederation, which was at the time in hold of the Andorn lands and nobility. While Ryzan fell and became integrated into the Bardonian territories, Andorn was released as a vassal state.

All was well to the newly created vassal of Bardonia, until the death of Uni, because he was at the time the Bardonian chancellor, Andorn as one state became more and more unstable until it broke up into three different independent states: Savras, Wivamovia and Heli. These states created what's now called the Holy Syltörian Empire (HSE), which acted in many ways similar to the real-life Holy Roman Empire, having one central leader called a Kaiser and then having a group of counts and other noble titles.

The HSE is now regarded as a period of instability and player inactivity, although it has shaped the cultures, traditions and governmental structure of the Andorn lands to this day.

Bardonia Period
The HSE was later (May 2021) reintegrated into the Bardonian empire acting as empire within an empire. Although it somewhat has kept its governmental structure, the total power above the Kaiser was the Bardonian chancellor.

For the Bardonians, Andorn was just one of their many provinces, and it acted as such in many ways, but it still had few differences, most notable of which where the unique symbols, few differences in law (see Imperial Andornian Law), and a certain amount of autonomy form the Bardonians.

Second Andorn Crisis
On 8/26/2021, Capna(Head of Andorn Military) and Jingo(High Archon) hired Ulfaeng and convinced most of the Andorn military to support the removal of Kaiser Lucius from power. To prevent outright civil war, the Lucius abdicated from power and transfered ownership of Andorn to Capna. Immediately after this annoncement, Avondale, Orilin, Areska, Savras, and Schwarzenberg declared independence from Andorn and formed a loyalist coalition vying for Lucius reinstated. The city of Ravaryea declared independence from the province of Fitchtenberg and the country Andorn and declared neutrality from both sides until the region stabilizes. Fitchtenberg would declare independence and neutrality minutes later, but had more leaning ties to the Loyalists. For 4 hours, Patch and duel123abc protested the removal of Capna that they gave a deadline for Lucius be reinstated or there would be war at the end of the day. Capna, dealing with irl things and seeing half the country falling apart, seceded his power and reinstated Lucius as Kaiser of Andorn with the promises of reforms. All independent states would rejoin Andorn under the reunified Second Empire of Andorn.

Current Period
Currently, the Second Andorn Empire is undergoing infrastructure updates, politcal reforms, and defensive militarization of its borders.

Savras
Savras is one of the oldest provinces in Andorn, its history reaches up to November 30, 2020 with the creation of Goyburg. Which was then found again and renamed to Savras (the capital city of the province).

Andornian Imperial Law
Andorn laws are written in the Andornian Imperial Law. The Kaiser has the power to decide if a person is guilty or innocent and can call a trial if he/she feels the need to do so. The Kaiser has the power to decide any form of punishment that is justified and fits the crime.

Military
The Andorn Legion is the official army of Andorn with Capna being its leader being formed on 8/19/2021 due to the country's need of defense since its declaration of independence in the Allium-Coalition War. This Military consists of three corps all dedicated to the protection of Andorn. The Andorn military had to reform following the Andorn Crisis, but still keeps its original structure.

Allium-Coalition War
Andorn was a vassel state of Bardonia when the Allium-Coaltion War broke out. Due to the scale of the conflict and interests in protecting his region, ShadowKing seceded from Andorn and declared neutrality. Unfortunately, this neutrality sadly, did not prevent the Pillars of the Sun from being attacked by Coalition Forces. The coalition would be later criticized for the outright attack of neutral city in which most defenders were defending because of their friendship with HimoS401.

Andorn Annexation War against Forest Council
On 9/1/2021, the squatters of Forest Council spotted and killed Kasier Lucius Von Savras for cutting down a tree. These were not the first of these attacks as multiple attacks have previously occurred on Andorn and Aurlunor citizens. In retaliation for the illegal banditing and unprovoked attack, Kaiser Lucius mobilized all Andorn forces to destroy the Forest Council.

Engagements:


 * Raid of Forest Council

Goblin Revolution
The province of Askonia, there are multiple goblins who live in Goblin Town, resent Andorn's human population and believe them to be inferior. Throughout the weeks, Andorn has been constantly been in an eternal war against the maruaders in multiple cities throughout the country. It is said that the Goblins have successfully taken the heads of Kaiser Lucius Von Savras and Bandit Capna using their feared Goblin Special Forces Suits. The goblins goal is to submit the rule of Andorn under the superior Goblin race and achieve all heads of all Andorn citizens for their torture chamber and statue.

Religon
Freedom of Religion is practiced in Andorn

Pillars of the Sun
HimoS401 created this religion in the city of Pillars of the Sun. One of the first religions in Rathnir, it is practiced in Andorn and has a lasting impact in the region. The religion later fell out of practice.

Dandelionism
Due to Bardonia's impact in the region when Andorn was a Province, Dandelionism is a notable religion Andorn has.

Twin Dragon
The history of Twin Dragon in Andorn mostly stems from the fact they border the Aurlûnor Velande to the south, and share a border with the city of Volkoregrod, which has a rather sizeable Twin Dragon minority. The religion would become the faith of the Kaiser, Lucius von Savras with his marriage to Sareariel Lelya-Earcala. It became one of the fastest growing faiths in Andorn.
