Plagatea

Plagatéa is a nation historically active in Plagos. It currently exists in the form of the Plagatéan Shogunate within the nation of Greater Plagos, alongside the Lunari Empire.

Confederation of Plagatéa
The Plagatéan Confederation was formed on December 26, 2020 with the forcefully proclaimed merger of Karkis, Hollenkreis, and other states in Plagos by the player Jokarvas. It was a confederacy of the smaller powers of northern Plagos. The seat of Plagatea was initially in Gunggum, but was moved on December 28th to Goshumä. On December 27th, Chroniclers and Hollenkreis made it clear they were not consulted upon their lands being claimed, and the Silver Coalition backed up their secessions from Plagatea. The Goshumä republic southeast of Gunggum, while having consented to the alliance is contemplating whether or not they wish to remain annexed. It was not very long until the Goshumese people choose to break away from the Plagatéan Confederacy.

In early January, Goshuma became independent from the Confederacy. On January 14th, most of Plagos except Goshuma, Hollenkreis, and Karkis were annexed by Escharia. This led to most of the confederacy being left as an entity in name only as Escharia refused to annex Karkis and Hollenkreis to avoid the ire of the Silver Coalition. After the dissolution of Escharia, Goshuma annexed the Gunggum province, which was now buried in sand. On February 4th, Karkis left the confederacy, thus ending all active players that were a part of the state.

The nation of Plagatea was last recorded on the map on February 28th 2021, being replaced primarily by the nation of Halla, and the collapse of the Plagatean Confederacy.

United Nations of Plagos
The UNP was a political union in the continent of Plagos. It included the nations Arinovla, Avalon, Aljazair (SC), Czervoslavia (UC), Goshumá, Maldun, Nova Regna, Nova Roma, the O.P.T.C. (formally O.S.C.), Pikaruoka, the Shigetada Shogunate, Skjoldrbróðir, Solitudinem, the Sterling Crownlands (partially), and Tessel. it was founded in mid February 2021. It was founded to promote trade and good diplomacy instead of war. It originally included the just the nations Arinovla, Solitudinem, and the O.P.T.C but later grew to include most of Plagos and some countries surrounding it. The organization was originally founded by Arinovla.

The downfall of The UNP started when a large number of bandit raids started happening all across Plagos. A vast amount of assaults and raids happened on the Shigetada Shogunate, one of the newest states on the area. Soon enough the Shogun, Nero Terazawa Shigetada who was awaiting a UNP relief force that never came, hired a Mercenary company called Adal. On the 13 of March 2021 after the contract with the Shogun had ended, Adal backstabbed The Shogunate beginning the battle of Ieon/Shigetada where The Shigetada Shogunate fought Adal. During the battle an organaziation called Hands interfered, killing both citizens of the Shogunate and Adaly Mercenaries. At the same time as this however, Nova Roma was waring against the Republic of the Seaside and the already low manpower pool of Plagos was pulled in multiple directions. With many UNP nations refusing to come to their members aid, losing on two fronts and the Adaly army marching to Nappi, the capital of the UNP, Arinovla was the first to formally leave the UNP, followed shortly after by Skjoldrbróðir.

The same day the leadership of Avalon was given to a player named jacw and ceded the nation to Bardonia. This prompted a much larger diplomatic incursion by Bardonia as they recruited Plagos nations to become client states of Bardonia. many nations like Czervoslavia wanted to preserve the union despite it's hardships but others like The Shogunate did not want to get diplomatically subjugated by Bardonia so they decided to formally leave as well. The Goshumá Republic left the union out of frustration when it's leader heard that their capital would be destroyed, but for some reason the perpetrators decided to spare Tengaesal from any kind of physical destruction

Nova Plagatéan Federation
The NPF was a federal republic founded on the 19th of March 2021 replacing the UNP. Nations that joined the federation were Arinovla, Czervoslavia, Goshumá, the Shigetada Shogunate, Poseidandria and Nova Regna. It was created after the Shigetada Shogunate and Arinovla united to defend the the independent Plagatéan states from annexation and subjugation to foreign powers. Later on, in order to combat foreign influence in the area, more nations such as the Kingdom of Czervoslavia, the Goshumese Republic and Nova Regna joined the federation. The nation of Imperial Tessel joined the federation but later on withdrew and joined the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa.

The Federation was plagued with issues, the most prevalent being its inability to form a stable and working government. Opposing sides were formed between the two dictators that were in control of the Federation until a government was formed. On one side was Nero Terazawa Shigetada, the Shogun of the Shigetada Shogunate, which was the most powerful and influential state in the Federation, by extension making Nero the most influential and powerful ruler in the Federation. Nero wished to form a stable government with a republican structure where all states in the Federation would have a vote. Opposing him was Crabapplez Zerkalo, the president of Arinovla. In Crabz's eyes, the Federation had to have a more centralized state. The disagreements drove the Federation to the brink of civil war.

However, the appearance of a new opponent, Jayjayrex, would change things. Jayjayrex's actions forced the nation to go into a referendum to become a kingdom. Crabz and Nero united together to prevent Jayjayrex from emerging victorious, with Nero running against him and due to the large and loyal population of the Shogunate he won the referendum easily. As a consequence, the nation turned from a Federal Republic to a Kingdom, thus forming the United Kingdom of Plagatéa.

United Kingdom of Plagatéa
The UKP was a shortlived Kingdom of united Plagatéan states, which was later reorganized as the Plagatéan Empire.

Shortly after its formation Jayjayrex started a heated debate in the former senate of the federation about Nero's management. Nero's reforms would strip all nations from their lands and reduce every single nation in the newly formed kingdom into a mere city state. Because of that with the manipulation of the Jayjayrex, both Nova Regna and Czervoslavia revolted against the crown.

The King of Czervoslavia called Ryzan to support its independence against Plagatéa but they backed out when the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa offered their unconditional support for the newly formed kingdom. And so the Czervoslavian revolt was suppressed

Though the Nova Regnan revolt was an other story. At this point Jayjayrex had taken leadership of the revolt and the two sides were taking part in a proxy war. Plagatéa was facing the issue that the revolt had allied themselves with Bardonia and the Huitca Federation so they couldn't just fight them. Because of that a diplomatic fight between the two sides raged for 2 months until both Plagatéa and Viodoxa agreed on a scheme to kick out the rebels. Plagatéa would sell the revolted land to Viodoxa so they can deal with them without Bardonian/Huitcan interference. The Scheme almost worked but one of the Archons of Viodoxa invited a new player in the continent of Plagos. His name was D_Loaded

And just like that one of the Archons of Viodoxa had backstab the young nation and created a new rival in plagos. The newly establish state of Donfuer was a threat to not only Plagatéa but to all of Plagos. Because of that a new policy was drafted to stop their expansion, the so called "Pax Plagatéa". After some border disputes between the two states Donfuer ultimatly collapsed due ot the diplomatic pressure that Pax Plagatéa was causing. As a last attempt to avoid the capture of their lands from Plagatéan forces Donfuer was sold to the Empire of Uldarash. That action ended the 3 month period known as "The Time of Troubles"

Colonial ventures
Plagatéa began a colonial expedition with the creation of the Dominion of Michinaru, the first colony with GaoKong as its founding settlement. After the integration of Seaside into the Empire the colony of Presevo was also added to the Imperial holdings. Eli Akihiro, adoptive daughter of Tagavor Nero, ruled over the Eldham colonies as Magistrate. There were talks of forming the Dominion of Presevo. However, during the collapse of the Empire, the colonies were left without guidance, protection or guarantees and thus were forced to yield to other powers in Eldham, with Presevo brought under Skjoldbrodir control and Michinaru brought under the Simulami Empire and renamed Kardovia.

From Kingdom to Empire
After some careful negotiations with Plagatéa, jayjayrex's rebellion finally succeeded and the Kingdom of Plagadonia was formed. The Plagatéan leadership had initially hoped for peaceful cooexistance and cooperation with the young kingdom, however Plagadonia sought to challenge Plagatéan dominance in Plagos. The aggression and posturing from Plagadonia was considered too much of a destabilising influence by the Plagatéan leadership, one that could not be allowed to continue, so on the 4th of July 2021 the United Kingdom of Plagatéa formally declared the existence of a state of war against the Kingdom of Plagadonia. After a numerous skirmishes, Plagadonia collapsed due to toxicity and the banishment of their leadership from Rathnir. The Bardonian Empire also saw the war as destabilising, so intervened and temporarily annexed Plagadonia in order to restore order, sending in the army. Plagatéan and Bardonian forces fought alongside each other and crushed the resistance in Plagadonia. After negotiations, the Bardonians yielded Plagadonia over to Plagatéa, at which point Tagavor Crabapplez Zerkalo announced the annexation and the First Empire of Plagatéa on the 9th of July 2021.

The First Empire of Plagatea
The First Empire of Plagatea was the United Kingdom of Plagatea reorganized into an empire on the 9th of July 2021. The state controlled the overwhelming majority of the Plagosi continent, which made them one of the biggest powers in Northern Rathnir at the time, rivaled by only the Second Empire of Niedea.

Crownland of Seaside
Marshal Jaxfon would make an agreement on the 9th of July with Plagatéa for the integration of the Republic of Seaside into the empire. The Seaside leadership council would overrule and reject his proposition, however Plagatéa exerted diplomatic pressure on Seaside's council both financially and militarily, ensuring the agreement would go through. Despite Jaxfon’s banishment from Rathnir, along with the agreement being declared illegal, Plagatéa would assume control over Seaside, creating the Crownland of Seaside. Most of its citizens, along with Seaside's council, would leave to form their own society south in Bardonia's Avalon Province.

End of the Empire
On August the 13th, the Skittles Alliance (including Aurora Novum, Baronov and others) backed by the Magisterium declared war on the Empire. Tagavor Nero had left the nation in a unstable, poor state in his latter years before his sudden death, with economic centralisation failing to provide growth and leaving many in poorer provinces moving to the provinces they perceived to be ran better, like the prosperous northern provinces of Sakura and Sakurai Tempo and southern province of Veldion leaving large land areas like northern Valreign sparsely populated. Thus, Tagavor Tempo Yamato was left in control of an unstable nation. As he saw it, the only way to protect the Empire was to instruct all Lords to declare independence, and reunify at a later date, to give Plagatéa a fresh start. The Lords did so, and one by one the provinces declared independence.

The death of Tagavor Nero Akihiro had left no obvious ruler due to previous Tagavor Tempo Yamato's unwillingness to rule and thus due to the absence of a clear successor the new country would be content to be ruled by, a succession crisis began, between Lady Aisuru Numachi of Sakura and SerfBort_ of Gunggum. the Empire was dissolved into its various constituent provinces following the death of Emperor Nero on Summer 80 SMP, though would later largely reunify temporarily into the Kingdom of Plagos under Queen Aisuru Numachi, before she proclaimed the Kingdom would now be known as the The Realm of Asarakaen.

The Realm of Asarakaen
Mere days later the majority of the former Empire was once again united under Queen Aisuru Numachi, who emerged the successor after lengthy negotiations between her and her diplomat Fuzzieee and Valerian Prime Minister Oioitsyaboy and his diplomat Mr Yes (Winfred Zerkalo), into the Kingdom of Plagos, though it was only known as this temporarily. Shortly afterward, Queen Aisuru would proclaim the Kingdom would henceforth be known as the Realm Of Asarakaen, and established a new government, mainly notable for the precedence of several new elected Ministers including a Prime Minister. However, multiple states of the old empire remained independent, such as the Kingdom of Czervoslavia and Nova Regna, or are part of another country, such as the former Crownlands of Seaside, or Eden.

The structure of the nation and the monarch was decided in negotiations between of the most influential rulers and advisors that still wished to reunite Plagos. Going in to the negotiations, Lady Aisuru Numachi of Sakura was perceived to be the natural choice to become the ruler. Believing a public vote would just turn in to a popularity and population contest all involved agreed that the vote should be kept private, amongst themselves. Lady Aisuru Numachi of Sakura, Isujhai and Field Marshal Dezhou Tchangsui of Seijiva and Mr Yes of Veldion (representing Lord Revo Krieger) cast votes for which one of the other 3 of the 4 they thought should be the monarch, which they gave to Eli Akihiro, who had helped organise the negotiations. Lady Aisuru received 3 votes and Field Marshal Dezhou received 1, the others receiving none, and thus Lady Aisuru became the monarch, Queen Aisuru Numachi of the Kingdom of Plagos (and later Queen Aisuru Numachi of the Realm of Asarakaen).

Reform
On the 4th of September, the Veldion Council Meeting was held, in which the guilds system for structuring the economy was proposed by Lord Glurak. I Ravdrac to the Senate. This was approved, and after negotiations later in the Senate on the 5th of September the guilds system was finalized in a document drawn up by Prince Alexander S. Numachi, the Minister of Economics, called the Ravdrac Proposal, and implementation began. Plans for a new capital were also unveiled on the 4th of September, though the construction of this never arose, due to the crisis days later.

Crisis of the Realm
On the 5th of September, Leon, after witnessing discussions in the Senate of The Realm of Asarakaen over the new guild economy system, saw their economic and military fragility, and chose to act. He announced the establishment of the Second Plagatéan Empire on Eldham, and stated he was taking his rightful claim as Tagavor and would be "retaking what is ours", with the Simulami Empire quickly backing them. His claim as Tagavor would be heavily disputed, with letters of the last orders of the former Tagavor Nero published by the Royal Advisor, Eli Akihiro, that showed the only two rightful Tagavors on Nero's death were Aisuru Numachi and Lord Tempo (Leon would later admit while in negotiations with the Senate of the Realm that his right was through his military and those that had infiltrated the Asarakaen government that were loyal to him).

Coup from Eldham and the Second Empire of Plagatéa
After the sale (under duress) of the former Empire of Plagatéa colony in Eldham, Plagatèan Michinaru, which then became Kardovia, during the succession crisis and collapse of the Empire, Kardovians had been distrustful of the new government. They perceived it as a traitorous, and weak, especially the Kardovian leader, Leon Olsen-Tanaka, known as the Magistrate of the Eldham colonies in Plagatéa.

On the 5th of September, Leon, after witnessing discussions in the Senate of The Realm of Asarakaen over the new guild economy system, saw their economic and military fragility, and chose to act. He announced the establishment of the Second Plagatéan Empire on Eldham, and stated he was taking his rightful claim to as Tagavor, aiming to "[retake] what is ours", with the Simulami Empire declaring support. His claim as Tagavor was heavily disputed, with letters of the last orders of the former Tagavor Nero published by the Royal Advisor, Eli Akihiro, that showed the only two rightful Tagavors on Nero's death were Aisuru Numachi and Lord Tempo. Leon himself would later admit, while in negotiations with the Senate of the Realm of Asarakaen, that his right to be Tagavor was earned through military and those loyal to him in the Asarakaeni government.

Leon Olsen-Tanaka then opened negotiations with the Senate of the Realm of Asarakaen, stating that there would be war unless Asarakaen agreed to the terms he laid out, and that his military would crush the Realm of Asarakaen in this event. He stated that 1) Kitaichi would become the Capital of the Second Plagatéan Empire, 2) Asarakaen would be renamed to the Second Plagatéan Empire and 3) That Asarakaen would be forced to pay a weekly tribute of 1 block of gold to the Empire in Eldham. He and the Senate, primarily lead by Advisor Eli Akihiro, would proceed to negotiate these terms to an eventual settlement that stated that there would be a return of the Tagavor diarchy, with Leon ruling over the Empire in Eldham and Queen Aisuru ruling over Rathnir. However, the Senate throughout all of this had been forced to act without their Monarch, due to her being away on a diplomatic visit, and still required her approval.

When she returned, she was horrified by the acceptance of the situation by many politicians, who had begun negotiations immediately. Most had done so under the notion that intervention from Asarakaen allies elsewhere in the globe would result in the end of any hope for unity in Plagos, which would be worse than ceding control to Leon. Both the potential return of 'Skittles Alliance' to counter the Empire and the at the time new Confederation of Plagos were greatly feared by Leon, who had not calculated the possibility of the either intervening to save the nation. Due to this, Aisuru was given the opportunity to rule jointly with Leon, but, feeling she could do so in good faith, as she had sworn Plagatéa would never again become an Empire under her rule, instead chose to abdicate the throne. The government of Veldion, who were a core founder of the Asarakaen state and loyal to Queen would become independent and would late strike a deal with Leon, becoming a tributary vassal.

Aisuru announced in a statement she would travel to live with her relatives, the McSpiegels, in Viodoxa with her husband, King Techno Numachi, and that she was disgusted by what she called a coup by Leon Olsen-Tanaka in her official abdication announcement. Upon hearing of this, Leon mocked the Queen, branding her weak in his own statement, and announced the existence of the new Empire, replacing what he branded as the weak, ineffective previous government of Asarakaen.

Leon proceeded with establishing the terms of the agreement with the Senate, appointing Lord Tempo as his Tagavor, and Lord Krieger as the Royal Regent. He also merged the governments in Eldham and Rathnir together, though with officials primarily based in Plagos. He also announced the Senate would be used as a purely advisory council with senior government leadership, though would have no legislative ability, and Lord Tempo returned as a Tagavor on a temporary basis. He also appointed Quianam Remen as the Provincial Manager, to oversee the provinces more generally, and Shigetada Suron as Deputy Provincial Manager, positions seen as a replacement for the former Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister within Asarakaen.

Confederation of Plagos
On September 7th, 2021, the Second Plagatéan Empire re-entered the Confederation of Plagos under their new name. They were officially recognized as the successor state of the Realm of Asarakaen. After the loss at Duran, Tagavor Leon proposed in a speech a reform to the previously existing Plagosi Confederation Charter, resulting in the creation of the Constitution of the Confederation of Plagos by the National Representatives and leaders at a convention a few days later. Veldion was later proposed and approved to be the region where the new capital of the CoP would be built, which was to be named Requiem. However, the conflict of interests within the Confederation would bring about its collapse less than a month later, with frequent arguments between Plagatèa, Alamayn and Lunaris representatives.

Initial joint-government reform
Joint Ministers for Economics Alexander S. Numachi and Lord-Lieutenant Joseph Rabbadon drafted a new Guilds system, heavily influenced by the previous Ravdrac Reforms and Alexander’s write-up of them within Asarakaen, a few days after the formation of the Empire. After the necessary administrative work had been carried out, primarily by the Tagavors, the Guilds were announced and formalised on the 20th of September. The Guilds involved were the Mining Guild, the Druids Guild (Enchanting and forging armour), the Builders Guild and the Plagatéan Army, which began training soon after it's formation. The Miners Guilds began purchasing large quantities of diamonds from its miners for the national stores in preparation for military build-up.

Tagavor Tempo was eventually replaced by the Lord of Valreign, Lord Revo Krieger, as he had no wish to stay long term in the position and instead preferred to remain and govern in his province of Sakurai Tempo. Tagavor Revo would appoint the former Asarakaeni Prime Minister, Quianam Remen, as his Royal Regent, thanks to his loyalty during the coup.

The restoration foreign policy (Plagatèa Domini)
In all new diplomatic communiques, Tagavor Leon began to use the phrase "Plagatèa Domini", signalling a new shift in foreign policy toward a more hegemonically-oriented diplomatic strategy, ending Queen Aisuru's foreign policy initiative of peace, cooperation and mutual defense.

Roughly a week after the formation of the Empire, Seaside re-joined as a Lordship, though this proved to be only a temporary arrangement, as they would secede again on the 26th of September. On the 22nd of September, Lunaris joined the Empire as a protectorate state.

On the 28th of September, Plagatèa united with the Emirate of Najer and the Second Empire of Simulami to form the Sapphire Commonwealth, represented as one nation on maps by cartographers and acting as one militarily while coordinating foreign policy. Domestic issues are largely left to try individual countries to figure out however, something that would lead to Najer and Simulami’s neutrality during the Plagatèan Provincial Revolt.

Plagatèa continued its claim to the remaining lands of Czervoslavia, after the King attempted to hand the land over, feeling Plagatèa would protect it better than the militarily weak United Commonwealth, but was prevented from doing so by the laws of the United Commonwealth. He later retracted his request, but Plagatèa would continue its claim, also citing instability on the border, the need for a link to the rest of the Sapphire Commonwealth, its inability to protect itself as seen by its unsuccessful defense against the O.P.T.C and the way the land looked on the maps. The Regent Tagavors retracted this claim on the 3rd of October with support from the new Jōin after the Plagatèan Provincial Revolt.

Plagatèan Provincial Revolt
On the morning of the 3rd of October, after several weeks of extreme discontent with the government and its leadership, 2 of the 5 Plagatèan provinces in Rathnir, Sakura and Seivija and a vassal state, The Kingship of Veldion, declared their support for a new ruler who had announced their claim, Princess Futo Naho of the North, the last true heir by blood to the throne. The spark for this came from the attempt by Revo days earlier to remove Lady Aisuru Numachi and Lord Dezhou Tchangsiu from their positions as Lords of the provinces of Sakura and Seivija, seen as a flagrant attempt to consolidate power and remove any form of dissent, as well as several comments and actions made by Leon and Revo that were seen as aggressive and against the people of Veldion and Sakura. Lord Dezhou Tchangsiu joined the planning for a revolt that Lady Numachi and King Glurak I. Ravdrac had already begun a week prior. The revolt planning had started between Mr Yes (Glurak's Advisor) and Aisuru and would later get consent from King Glurak who would take over from Mr Yes in the planning. Seivija would soon join after Pepek nearly had his position as lord removed. The revolt was originally suppose to be a proper revolt but after realizing that they were two weak to pull it off they instead went for a coup similar to what Leon did and hoped it would have the same outcome.

Leon's response and negotiations
Upon hearing of the revolt, and the announcements, Tagavor Leon Olsen-Tanaka declared a state of martial law, aiming to mobilise to crush the revolt. Meanwhile, in a bid to prevent conflict, high-ranking officials from both sides, including Lord Dezhou Tchangsiu, King Glurak I. Ravdrac, Lady Aisuru Numachi, Alexander S. Numachi and a senior diplomat overseeing named Sterling met for negotiations. This eventually resulted in the signing of treaties with the two provinces and the vassal laying down arms, the most significant effects included the reintegration of Veldion as a province, a 50,000 fine for the province of Sakura, the removal of Tagavor Revo as Rathnir Tagavor, the establishment of a temporary Regency for the Rathnir Tagavor, with complete separation of government between Rathnir and Eldham and Leon Olsen-Tanaka to govern solely in Eldham. Due to messenger issues Winfred (Mr Yes) believed that a Plagatean army was coming to destroy Polskrige and ordered that everyone flee the city before ending his life. Glurak after finding out his friend took his own life attempted to do the same but failed. While Glurak was missing Tyranno took matters into his own hands and offered the Veldski crown to Duegy Zerkalo who accepted.

Regency and restoration
As the Regency came to a close, after the second week, Alexander S. was the only nominated candidate, nominated by Lady Aisuru Numachi of Sakura, Lord Dezhou Tchangsui of Seivija and Lord Dug Zerkalo of Veldion. On the 19th of October, the Tagavor election began, with the Lords casting their votes to Tagavor Leon Olsen-Tanaka. 5 of the 6 electors (the 5 Lords, plus the regency of Lord Tempo and Sterling of Arcop as one) were needed for a candidate to ascend the throne. All cast their votes, and all cast their votes for Alexander S. Numachi, who assumed the role of Tagavor from the moment the votes were confirmed. Many Kanryō also cast their vote symbolically for Alexander, though they were not able to be counted. He was soon after confirmed as a ruling Monarch in the Sapphire Commonwealth, and was announced to Rathnir. He would give a speech the next day, receiving congratulation messages from many leaders of Rathnir nations.

Alexander's senate reforms
The Kanryō (senators) of the Jōin (senate) were revised and some new Kanryō were appointed to balance the senate between provinces, following the format of two Kanryō and the Lord of the Province from each individual province. With this new Jōin, in tandem with the survey conducted to assess the population and where they stand politically, reforms began, such as the Zavtranian Pantheon no longer being the state religion in Rathnir, after a survey indicated 80% of the population wished for a secular state and the Jōin voted for this to be enacted in to law, and as such was signed in to law by Tagavor Alexander.

Appointments, Treaties and Citizenship reforms
Lord Dezhou Tchangsui of Seivija was appointed as Royal Regent to Tagavor Alexander S. Numachi, and Daimyo Techno Numachi of Sakura was appointed as the Daijin of the Jōin, presiding over the Jōin’s day to day functioning. Other reforms occurred, such as the recognition of citizens from Eldham and other Meishu (the name for vassals and protectorates of Plagatèa) becoming all equally recognised as a citizens alongside those who lived in Rathnir Plagatèa. In addition, an alliance was signed with Baronov with the Treaty of Baronov.

Alamayn Crisis
Disputes over the newly elected Grand Sultan of Alamayn, Cusless of Cuslandia arose near instantaneously after he announcement on the 21st of October, with Rexaria of the Silver Citadel declaring war and stating he did not recognise Cus as the Grand Sultan, expressing his desire and dedication for himself to rule the nation instead, and his fears over Cusless’s lack of policies. The Kingdom of Varandoy-Aestryria initially then signed a deal with Rexaria, one of peace, and allowed Cusless to rule his own vassal state, Cuslandia, while the rest of Alamayn was reorganised into Neo-Alamayn under a diarchy, which itself was subservient to Varandoy-Aestyria. This caused outrage within Plagatèa and the Sapphire Commonwealth, who had been negotiating with Varandoy-Aestyria to bring peace, part of Plagatèa's long running policy of no external influences (supra-continental) within Plagos.

Several of Alamayn's provinces on the Plagos continent revolted, turning to the primarily Eldham religion of the Zavtranian Pantheon after being visited by Sterling of Arcop, and de-facto becoming allied with and joining Plagatèa to keep them safe from what they saw as an illegitimate land-grab. Varandoy-Aestyria were perturbed by the amount of autonomy neo-Alamayn acted with and so dissolved it, signing a landmark agreement with the Sapphire Commonwealth negotiated by the Commonwealth Monarchs ZenoHUN of Simulami and Numachi Alexander of Plagatèa with Varandoy officials. The agreement placed Varandoy-Aestyria in to a military alliance with the Sapphire Commonwealth, laying groundwork for it to join, and divided what was Alamayn into Varandoy-Aestyria and Plagatèa, with the Plagosi continent lands going to Plagatèa and the rest to Varandoy. The Plagosi lands became a province in Plagatèa, the province of Aljazair, under Lord Akihiro Oda. This frightened many smaller Plagosi nations, who begun to fear the Sapphire Commonwealth as a result, though some also for likely competitive reasons, as the Commonwealth dominated Plagos, preventing any conflict from taking place it disapproved of.

Arrival of Zamotz
After the collapse of Alamayn, Tagavor Numachi Alexander negotiated a non-aggression pact with the Osteri-Plagos Trading Company, or O.P.T.C., on behalf of the Sapphire Commonwealth, in a push for a peaceful and stable Plagos and using the Commonwealth's influence and diplomatic weight to achieve this. However, this push was interrupted by the arrival of the Zamotz Union, part of the Eldham Entente, making the Kingdom of Varandoy-Aestyria into a vassal in an agreement, which shocked and outraged the Sapphire Commonwealth (and most of Rathnir), especially with the rhetoric of 'civilising Rathnir' from a powerful Eldham country right on their borders.

The signing of a 30 day non-aggression pact between the Sapphire Commonwealth and the then Eldham Entente in November put an end to the tensions over the region for its duration, and the landscape of Rathnir and Eldham was very different when it ended.

Quest for Governmental Unity
There began to be increasing calls for greater governmental unity, with the two sides feeling like different nations and not at all united. Political advisor Suron Shigetada and Lady Eli Akihiro of Soltsu led calls for this, Lady Akihiro quietly advising Tagavor Numachi S. Alexander in her push for this while Shigetada pushed far more openly. He led a march from Tempo to Kitaichi, prompting Lady Aisuru Numachi, seen as one of the Lords more against greater unity, to maintain Sakura's political neutrality and uphold long-standing anti-political laws within the borders of the city, there since the time of Ieon and the first Empire.

Seeing this, Tagavor Alexander convened multiple sittings of his Round Table (the high government chamber in Rathnir, attended by personal appointees of the Tagavor such as his Regent and Royal Advisors) and attended many Senate sessions in Tengaesal, in order to hear arguments. Despite his aura of neutrality seen by his populace, Alexander in memoirs later admitted he privately held views against leaning against unification, preferring the status quo, even though he maintained strongly his neutrality on the issue, guided as he said by the people of the Rathnir side of the Empire. His main reasoning was that he could not be seen to roll over on the issue, given it had sparked conflict before and he wished to keep the provinces from signing their own death warrants with an uprising. He was the Tagavor of the Lords who revolted and he owed them a debt. Furthermore, the treaties after the provincial revolt set out clearly that unification was not to occur, and this was enshrined in the Constitution Alexander had written and implemented, and he had no desire to make a mockery of the law.

Alexander also disliked the idea of conceding power to Leon over any Rathnir affairs, given Alexander's Rathnir foreign policy was drastically different, focused around peace and prosperity, from the one Leon embarked on in Eldham, focused around expansionism and what Alexander branded 'arrogant righteousness'. He was already angry about being dominated by Leon at points previously and was not going to concede on such an issue that did not have absolute support. He saw, ever politically astute, that he could use it as an issue from which to gain personally as well as strategically for the Rathnir side of the Empire. In order to maintain neutrality, he ordered a referendum on the subject, knowing it would not be in favour of unifying both sides. In due course, it returned as not in favour of unification, by roughly 10%. Alexander used this to delay unification by enough time to secure favourable concessions from the Eldham politicians and those pushing for unification as they saw it was not a political inevitability the way they viewed it.

Crucially, however, Alexander had elected not to release the results to the public, in what came to be a very shrewd move. After Alexander was satisfied by the deal unification would bring, and had consulted previously anti-unification Rathnir-side politicians such as his mother Aisuru Numachi and Glurak Ravdrac, he agreed to unify. It also had the added benefit of Alexander becoming the political focus of the nation; he engaged with all politicians and came off as favourable to those from Eldham who had been distrusting or merely thought him a puppet. They were in future far more engaged with him, elevating his political weight/power (despite supposed constitutional equality previously) to be equal as Tagavor to Leon's. This change in attitude greatly benefitted Alexander politically alone, in practice manifesting itself as greater involvement in Eldham. He decreed alongside Tagavor Leon Olsen-Tanaka that a new united Jōin (senate) chamber be formed consisting of Kanryō (senators) from both sides, to be known as the Tōitsu Jōin, convening both in Tengaesal and Kardivia alternately.

Abandonment of State Religion
With the further integration of the two sides of the Empire, the view widely held amongst nearly all Kanryō (senators) was that religion, despite the Zavtranian Pantheon still being endorsed by the Eldham side (the Rathnir side had become secular soon after Tagavor Alexander's election) was no longer appropriate to endorse, and as such the Religious Freedoms Act (written by Shigetada Akuji) was passed by the Tōitsu Jōin and signed into law by Tagavor Alexander (without consulting Tagavor Leon), making the entire Empire officially secular.

Whilst his reasoning for taking the initiative and signing the law on his own was given as the response that him and Leon balanced their duties, it was also to get it done quietly (Alexander believed strongly in secularism as a principle) and in a way that Leon could not object to without undermining the Empire, using Leon's tactics to undermine him as Leon had used to undermined Alexander early on. This is also a good example of Alexander's work with the Tōitsu Jōin - he was popular amongst his own Kanryō in Rathnir, and he merely extended this to the Tōitsu Jōin. It gave him a great deal of influence and leeway to be seen to be governing in consultation with the delegates of the people and meant he could use it as a tool to mask his own actions from time to time, passing laws through his own influence and endorsement. His influence with Kanryō being much greater than Leon's also insulated him from criticism, who received increasing amounts of criticism from Kanryō as time went on both from Meishu Kanryō and the provincial Kanryō. This was another way in which Alexander increased his power and influence whilst also shoring up stability in the nation.

The unification period also marked the point at which Tagavor Alexander began to greatly involve himself in both sides - he saw the total lack of attention given to domestic issues in Eldham, particularly the home provinces, as something threatening the stability of the Empire, as well as making his position more safe by involving himself visibly and highlighting Leon's lack of attention to the subject. Alexander most notably dismissed two Lords for their mismanagement of their provinces and dismissing him when he confronted them about it, sending a message to the others.

Donfuer Annexation Crisis
Following an escalation of tensions with Aurora Novum after the Donfuer annexation crisis, in which Aurora Novum were perceived to have illegally annexed the Plagosi city-state of Donfuer, and Aurora Novum's assistance of squatters and raiders during the war on the Aljazair raiders, Alexander and the Plagatèan government became convinced Aurora Novum could no longer stand as an independent country, as they threatened Plagatèa and the Sapphire Commonwealth's stability and reputation. Especially for Alexander, the claims of Plagatèan warmongering, despite his clear action to remove this reputation, were unsubstantiated and insulting, as well as damaging diplomatically across Rathnir, prompting the issuing of a statement to shut down the claims by an Aurora Novum official. Thus, the Sapphire Commonwealth as a collective requested that Aurora Novum either submit to their demands, of peaceful integration into Plagatèa, or face war. After a referendum in Aurora Novum, their citizens voted overwhelmingly for war, widely seen as a suicide note.

Sapphire Commonwealth-Aurora Novum war
Despite an Aurora Novum government officials initially believing they could win the propaganda war, and score a damaging moral victory, the Monarchs of the Sapphire Commonwealth, coordinated by Alexander, would each release statements condemning the lies spread by the Aurora Novum government. Alexander in particular took care to address every accusation levelled at Plagatèa, and the lack of a response after this from the Aurora Novum government demonstrated that this issue had been put to rest.

Thus, a state of war was declared, and Sapphire Commonwealth forces massed in Valreign, before marching for Black Hollow, one of the two Aurora Novum cities. Aurora Novum would initially plan to meet the forces in battle, however it soon became clear that the war was not winnable, and they would be crushed. They submitted with 24 hours before the planned battle, surrendering unconditionally and signing a peace treaty proposed by Alexander and Imperare ZenoHUN of the Simulami Empire. This sparked massive victory celebrations across the Empire, as Aurora Novum were seen as the last toxic remnants of what had toppled the first Empire.

World War in Eldham
This peace was not to last long, however, and as soon as it ended, the more war-hungry nations of the Eldham Entente set their eyes on Plagatea's Eldham colonies. Determined to make Plagatea pay for perceived slights and grudges, they demanded large swaths of land that had been vassalized. Not willing to be ceded to Entente control, the territories then promptly seceded from Plagatea.

Most of the antagonist nations, at that point, dropped their claims, but one, Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, pushed even further. Negotiations broke down, Plagatea refused, and all the other nations returned to declare war. The Commonwealth naturally came to protect their allies. Although a simple war over a small piece of land, it quickly escalated into a far-reaching Sapphire Commonwealth versus Eldham Entente world war.

Although slated to be an alliance versus alliance match, minus a few on either side due to conflicting alliances or lack of territory on Eldham, the Entente called in ally after ally for their offensive war. Meanwhile, the allies of the Commonwealth were intimidated or coerced into withholding aid by the Entente. The SC was quickly outmatched and outnumbered. A bombshell was dropped when Lutum, a country in Eldham, revealed stolen documents with a comment from a member of the SC who had suggested illegal war tactics. Lutum and the Entente immediately began a smear campaign based on this document.

Entente officials began to spread rumors and fearmonger, attempting to drag their enemies' names through the mud. The evidence (left) was used to spin a devious story, declaring that not only were the leaders of the Commonwealth at fault for and supportive of the comment, but that they were the warmongers in the situation. (see below quote) "The Holy Kingdom of Lutum denounces the affiliated leaders within the Sapphire Commonwealth, [who] are only greed-driven warmongers laced with enough toxicity to resort to blatant (and supported throughout) metagaming [...] the heads of the Sapphire Commonwealth wish for nothing but malicious animosity and are willing to take advantage of everyone and everything, every player and even Stoneworks itself, to get what they want."

It was at this point that the people of Eldham realized that this was too much. Far from vilifying the SC as intended, this broke the spirit of war and friendly competition. The allies of the belligerent entente and the SC began to view the war as having gone too far and having gotten too toxic. Although a de-escalation was suggested, it was quickly rejected. It was only until Soolia seceded from Plagatea that the situation was finally defused. A peace treaty was signed on the 7th of January.

Further troubles within the Commonwealth, namely the Alamayni war of Independence, betrayals, and internal strife, left a toll on all of the Commonwealth leaders. They agreed that being bound together, while a great strength, had caused conflicts to become drawn out and blown out of proportion, and had drawn as many enemies to them as it had friends. They agreed that it was time to end the SC and switch another style of agreement. On the 10th of January, announced the dissolution of the Sapphire Commonwealth.

The Alamayni uprising left Plagatea in shambles. With Alamayn power-drunk on their newfound freedom and support of many mercenaries, Plagatea was in grave danger of being destroyed, and was forcibly split apart. The northern territories of the Empire would be integrated into the Simulami Empire as the Goshuma district, to protect Plagatean culture, while Nova-Regna, Aurora Novum and Veldion proclaimed independence. The continent was left shattered.

Rise of Chumon Ito
In Goshuma of the son of the founder of the First Empire of Plagatéa, Oda Akihiro, formed the Southern Plagatéan Restoration Army (also known as the SPRA or Chumon Ito) with the goal of liberating the southern territories of the fallen Empire back to the rightful control of House Akihiro. The southern territories, that were not as connected to the Empire in such a deep level, ceded and gained independence and almost all of them were consumed from foreign invasions. The only former Plagatéan territory that escaped that fate was the Kingdom of Veldion, which managed to strike a deal with its neighbours in return for peace.

Foundation of the North Eastern Rathnir Pact (NERP)
Skjoldbrodir was in the midst of a war against Mosir-Sumari, an ally of Lunaris and had poor relations with the rest of Plagos due to being a former ally of Plagatea. Amy saw this as a chance to aid their allies and obtain much-needed land for the rapidly growing nation, so she declared war. The war was short and no battles were fought in it. Skjoldbrodir, standing no chance of winning the war, surrendered under the Treaty of Eden, signing away half its land to Lunaris. Unbeknownst to Lunaris, their actions had alarmed the rest of Plagos and after some discussion, the nations of Alamayn, Aurora Novum, Nova-Regna, Veldion, Solitudinem, OPTC, Seaside-Baranov and Czervoslavia formed a massive defensive alliance called NERP (North-Eastern Rathnir Pact) to oppose any further Lunari aggression within Plagos. Lunaris had no further designs on Plagos, content to populate their newly gained land and focus on aiding its allies in wars far away from their shores.

Amidst the rising tensions, the leaders of NERP discovered that some very old players had secretly returned to Plagos. Chief amongst these were Nero, the First Tagavor of Plagatea in disguise and Basil. Many of the nations in NERP had been part of Plagatea before or were former enemies of it. They demanded that Veldion, where they were currently residing, expel them, but these demands did not work. The consequent attempt by Nova-Regna to annex Veldion also failed and NERP declared war on Veldion, a member of its own alliance.

Infiltration of Veldion
After the collapse of Plagatea, Veldion headed on for new reforms to the government and encouraging immigration, becoming the Kingdom of Veldion under the Monarch Mr Yes. The people elected Aditya as the new Prime Minister of Veldion and the new military commander of the Veldski Guard, the Council was reformed and new members appointed and immigration became the largest government priority. Diplomatically, Artis and Yes sought to align themselves with former enemies of Plagatea, the North-Eastern Rathnir Pact or NERP, joining the organisations, as well as remaining close to former fellow Sapphire Commonwealth member Simulami. After this reform, Mr Ys abdicated, passing the throne to Aditya Artis. As part of the immigration reform in Veldion, Aditya Artis had encouraged new population regardless of origin. As a result, many former Plagatéan government officials sought refuge in Polskrige, one of the few remaining bastions of what was Plagatéa still wholly independent after Simulami annexed the core provinces of Sakura, Seivija and Tempo. This led to a rise in Plagatéan sympathies throughout Veldion, with citizens beginning to look fonder and fonder back over the Second Empire and beyond. Several high-profile former Plagatéan officials joined the Veldski council to help reform, including briefly former Tagavors Alexander S. Numachi and Pepek Tchangsui. Pepek especially came to wield significant power and influence. During this time, Chumon Ito officials gradually began to infiltrate the Veldski government.

Veldion Crisis
All this prompted alarm in the NERP, who feared the potential for the return of Plagatéa, on top of the issue of an aggressive and rising Lunari Empire. To stem the Plagatean immigration and gain greater control over the situation, as well as seem larger in size to deter Lunaris, they issued an ultimatum to veldion, To place veldion under NERP control with annexation by Nova Regna to reorganise it and kick out Plagatéan officials. as well as ejecting a Veldion diplomat from the NERP council. Upon finding out about this, King Aditya was horrified, and sought to prevent it, seeking support from Kazan and later Lunaris all while several ministers, such as forming King Yesua Zerkalo (Mr Yes) attempted to reach a peaceful settlement with Nerp via diplomacy which ultimately failed.

Veldion joined the United Kingdoms of Kazan in an attempt to stop this war, but NERP pressed on. Lunaris, seeing these actions as a precursor to a potential invasion of Lunaris in the future as BoredPoison had threatened, entered the war in defence of Veldion. Many nations were brought into the war in support of Lunaris, at the requests of Amy and her husband Wardaddy. Notatbly Kartek, Alfheim, Tortuga, Bardonia, Leveros, Daelyria and Borhammar. Additionally, Veldion hired Aragotha and the Goons as mercenaries. NERP was supported by Aatyeli and the IAU, as well as Vinovian mercenaries who they had hired. Intrestingly the Czervoslavian government never brought their nation into the conflict, citing a clause in the NERP agreement which stated a nation could stay out of a war if the war was against an ally. Even though the Czervoslavs had no formal treaties with Veldion, the two nations shared close cultural and ethnic ties, Stemming from the same wave of Korolian immigration east. With Czar Ludio Announcing they'd say neutral in the conflict since they did not want to make it a war of brothers and cousins.

The two sides clashed at the battle of Azadi which was an overwhelming defeat for NERP, with the point count being 166:7. The NERP forces were slaughtered within the first 10 minutes of the battle and their Vinovian mercenaries, under-equipped and outnumbered, were forced to retreat from the war after causing some casualties to the other side. Following the battle of Azadi, NERP dissolved and most of its member states became vassals of foreign powers..

Ieturu Kumagaya declared, in return for his support during the war, that the Chumon Ito were now in control of the government as a stratocratic regime whilst a transition to a took place, with him ruling as Shogun.

Veldion Civil War
Whilst initially stable, the new Chumon Ito stratocracy was not fully consolidated in Veldion, and soon after the Veldski Civil War, between monarchists, republicans, Chumon Ito (Plagatéan restorationists) and the Blue Fleet from the remnants of the Second Empire in Eldham broke out. During this, the Chumon Ito and the Blue Fleet allied and were victorious, afterwards forming the Plagatéan Regency

Plagatéan Regency
With both the Southern Plagatèan Restoration Army and the Combined Fleets of Colonial Plagatèa and Novastonia suffering heavily from their latest fight for dominance in Veldion they have found common goal in the restoration of a United Plagatèan state as well as the resurrection of the founder of Plagatèa, Nero Terazawa Akihiro. Now Shogun Ieteru Kumagaya and Admiral Joseph Rabbadon stand side by side as a united front now known as The plagatean Regency who later Defeated the Veldski united front comprised by Simulami volonteers, The Korolian Legion, Veldski Monarchists and Veldski Republicans.

Now Shogun Ieteru Kumagaya and Admiral Joseph Rabbadon stand side by side as a united front now known as The plagatean Regency

Avium war
Avium, being the Sucessor to the NERP, had not abandoned their imperialist designs on Plagatea and they soon began another conflict by attempting to forcefully seize the town of Arinovla in Solitudinem simply because it was owned by a Plagatean.

This provoked Arlin to declare independence from Avium with the support of Plagatea and Lunaris. Avium’s invasion of Arlin was supported by Aurora, Yaszria and Aatyelli, as well as volunteers from Tortuga, Borhammar, the Imperium and the IAU. This time it was Avium that hired Aragotha to fight on their side. The only allies of Lunaris that came to their aid this time were Kartek and Vinovia, who despite their treaties with Avium refused to betray them. The odds, though, were stacked against them and a diplomatic meeting was held, where Avium was offered Arlin and a one-month NAP. However, Ad refused. He smelled weakness, and wanted to defeat Lunaris on the battlefield and prove his claims that Avium was better and stronger.

Left with no other choice, Lunaris, Plagatea, Vinovia and Kartek prepared for the war. They were joined by Paragon, a mercenary group led by Amy’s husband, Wardaddy. Together they fought against the Avium forces and against all odds they triumphed through superior skill and coordination. They held the line, they threw the Avium forces back and they won the first battle of Arlin. This loss shook the morale of Avium and its supporters, as some of the volunteers began to leave or switch sides, however, Avium did not fold and Aurora paid 6 million to the Hands in order for them to join the war. The second battle of Arlin was not as close, as within 15 minutes the Avium offensive broke apart and they were pushed back all the way to their capital and lost the battle. Following this loss, Avium lost Sand, their capital and surrendered after Aurora broke off their alliance and abandoned them. Thus ended the Avium wars. During the wars many states declared independence from the federation, one of them being Nova Regna.

Annexation of Nova Regna
After the start of the Arlin war, the Nova Regnan government seceded from the federation. After a long discussion the Regency and the former province decided that the best course of action is for Nova Regna to reintegrate into the Plagatéan Regency.

Plagatéan Sucession War
Shortly after the Avium war, Arinovla proclaimed they were forming the Third Plagatean Empire, claiming all de jure land of Plagatéa. This upset the rulers of the Plagatéan Regency who already claimed to be the legitimate sucessor of the Second Empire. Tensions Were rising and it was not long until war broke out.

As the Arinovlan forces pushed into the south of the Regency, the Koyama Clan rose up in rebellion to create a Plagatean empire in their own vision. During the same time, the oppressed Veldski people rise up in Kurakrige with the goal of creating their own Korolian State. As the War went on, the Northern territories which had just been bought from Simulami betrayed the crown and took Hikadia. When the Regency marched to retake Hikadia they crushed the Forces of the Northern Court Rebellion, But in the Chaos the leader of the Regency mysteriously dissapeared. Leaving the Regency without a clear leader led to infightning between the clans who remained united. Shortly thereafter the Plagatéan Regency collapsed into multiple new states waring for power.

After a few years of fightning, the southern court led a mission to bring back Emperor Nero from the Dead, and claimed to have been successful. Proclaiming Nero's Domain, they sucessfully seized the Arinovlan pretenders and could then direct their attention north. Without their forces being split apart they could now swiftly take out the rebels in the Central Plagos region. With only the Northern court left the war was practically already won.

Reform
Once the Succession wars were over the State reformed into the Plagatéan shogunate, Stripping the lords of their power, Letting the Land be administrated by Organisations known as clans that have limited say in governance of the nation.

Clan System
The clan system is the method of administration within the Plagatèan State. Based on this each settlement is owned by a clan. Residents of those settlements are considered either full members of the clan that owns the settlement or are indebted to the clan. In the case of the latter, those people are referred to as "freemen," or more colloquially "peasants".

A clan cannot be formed if the clan leader does not own a settlement. Because of this, citizens do not need to be related to a clan by blood to be considered part of it. Instead, they only need to live within a clan-controlled settlement. Clans pay a weekly tribute- this tribute can range from active services, such as helping build nationwide projects, to monetary payment to the government. The tribute demanded is specific to each clan, so quantification of their payment can be vague.

Clans
Active clans that own existing settlements are referred to as Clans. For a Clan to reach this status it only requires to have a settlement under its control. They are the clans that pay the most tribute to their privilege of having one or multiple settlements Active Clans can take part in the Clan Gatherings (Still not fully set up as of now). In there the future actions of the State are discussed and the opinions of the Clan Leaders are considered. Active Clans can promote themselves in the #clan-advert If during a war a clan loses their settlement then until the war is over ( + 15 days) they shall keep their status as an Active Clan. The moment the war has ended without getting their settlement back, as well as the established grace period, the clan is instantly demoted to Fallen Status.

Fallen clans
Active clans that do not own a settlement are referred to as Fallen Clans. That doesn't mean the Clan itself is inactive but that they lack any bases of operation. Fallen Clans still contribute to the Tribute system but at a lower rate compared to active clans. The main difference between Fallen Clans and Active Clans is the fact that Fallen Clans can not take part in the Clan Gatherings so their opinion on the matters of the state isn't counted.

A Fallen Clan can also fully indebt itself to an active clan. This means that the Fallen Clan is marked as Eclipsed and all members of it are considered members of the Active Clan. Fallen Clans can, in fact, still promote themselves and attempt to get more people to join them. Members of the Fallen Clans can live in settlements without being considered members of the clan owning the area.

Eclipsed
Eclipsed Clans are, as  the name suggests, eclipsed. This means that the clans under this specific category are removed from any obligations to the tribute system. This is because of their inability to actually keep up with the requirements of the Tribute system. Eclipsed Clans cannot recruit new people or advertise themselves unless they shed their Eclipsed status. They are also fully banned from owning any settlements and should cede any holdings to the state Government. I

n order to escape the Eclipsed Status, a clan leader must pay the a sum of 20k to the state to proclaim their clan as a Fallen Clan. Afterwards, they has 30 days to recruit at least 2 members into their clan, or else the Fallen Clan Status is revoked and the clan is listed as Eclipsed. Eclipsed Clans with no leader can be taken over by a new player (they cannot be renamed) but only with permission from the state.

Koyama Clan
The Koyama Clan is an ancient clan, and house that has been politically active throughout the course of Plagatea's vast and lush history. The Clan at its peak served directly under Tagavor Leon Olsen-Tanaka of the Second Empire with some saying its leader, was the third most influential man in Plagatea (Second Empire). Vexilly is now the dedicated heir to the seat of the shogun, with Vex being declared Shogun Regent and leading the country smoothly during the Alamayn Sea Crisis. The Koyama Clan is known for its Many cities and Beautiful Architecture as well as its members who are highly proficient at diplomacy.

Ieteru Clan
Initially loyal to the ideals of the first Empire, Kumagaya's branch of the Tempo Yakuza came to be Chumon Ito took control of Veldion. Their value for wealth rings true today as it has historically, but as Kumagaya delved deeper into the beliefs of the Neroic Cult the core tenant has changed. No matter the cost, there is only one Tagavor who can lead Plagatea, and will do so eternally.

Shigetada Clan
The Shigetada Clan is the oldest in the realm, tracing its family line directly to the Shogunate of old. The Shigetada dominate the far north, controlling vast swaths of land around Gunggum and now with Fustatsu in the east as well. Valuing Loyalty, Tradition, and Unity; the clan stands to become the industrial and cultural leader in the north, and perhaps the entire realm. they hold the ancient town of Gunggum and the great city of Fustatsu, currently under construction.

Clan Aena Sajak
With the death of their leader, the desert warlords of a far away land called Eshna were the first to embark on wooden ships with their horses in search of a new place to call home. Taking their families with them the Aena Sajak were delighted to find Rathnir, after landing on the cold lands of Plagos full of barbarians they died both to cold and to rival barbarian clans after finally reaching a seemingly empty desert. With almost a sixth of their initial number and with only 2 horses remaining the Aena Sajak were too weak to fight off any dangers. Seeing the preceding disastrous events, Sokidios tried to diplomatically integrate him and his clan into the First Plagatean Empire which owned and controlled the lands they disembarked on and he was successful. However, having to regain their numbers and previously owned wealth without raiding the Sajakqoy (Men of the Aena Sajak commonly referred to as blood riders) had to disperse in search for jobs to provide for their families. After almost a century of being dispersed the Aena Sajak returned to the lands they first landed, with their first rider Sokidios leading the way, they were able to be reborn like a phoenix from their ashes, thus founding Arlin the land of the Undying Phoenix and being formally recognized by the Regency in power.

Artis Clan
The Artis clan is a secretive and mysterious clan whose only interest is money and profit. While others get dragged into war, the Artis clan sees business. They are currently building a fortress in the desert where Saboten lies. Although new, their help can massively impact any side of a war, that is if you know where to find them. The Artis clan are known for their industrious people and mercenaries.

Zerkalo Clan
Also known as the Zerkalo clan, they are one of the oldest clans in Plagatea, having originated from Crabz Zerkalo and his Kingdom of Arinolva, right to the east of Veldion. Since then they have expanded all around Rathnir and Eldham. Some notable Zerkalos are: Mr.Yes and Crabz Zerkalo. They hold Kurakrige and Riften. Long ago the Zerkalos were considered a prestigious family in many parts of Rathnir but after the fall of Crabz their notoriety has been slowly decreasing.

Clan Czverkorol/Akorōru
The newest clan in Plagatea, stemming from the Korol house the Czverkorol family ruled Czervoslavia for multiple generations until its integration into Plagatea. Their house has been deeply tied to the Czervoslavian state and thats where 'Czver' is taken from, Meaning 'Red' in Korolian. making them the Red-Korols (Also known as Aka Korōru in Plagatean) They also share ancestry with the Zerkalo Clan, having been in Plagos for hundreds of years. Within their domain are the islands of Ignatava, Duranija, Kavan, Padkovo, Aferosija and the castle of Ludova. they value loyalty and politeness which are values that guide them in life.

Numachi Clan
Once a leading house within Plagatea, and the founder of Realm of Asarakaen, This clan now lack any holdings and activity.

Diversity
Even though the majority population are Plagatéan there still exist a large minority of other peoples and cultures within the Nation. Plagatéans can be found all over the continent, while the Korolians typically center around Kurakrige, Riften, Saboten and the Czervoslavian Islands. They used to be dominant in former Veldion (Khorisal), but were displaced during and after the Veldski Civil war.
