Anglunia

The Kingdom of Anglunia is a country situated in the mid-west of Eldham, on the continent of Onthukhan and covering most of the peninsula Mirau. It is ruled by the Yirsidan or Yirsidani, Under them rules the Dansiva and the Vindyi. It is well known as the land of Ice Elves, or more specific, Yirsi.

Early history
Before humans settled on the peninsula of Mirau, Yirsi roamed the northern regions of Mirau. This region is also known as Nefelis. Eventually, humans migrated into Eldham, widely populating it. Many humans arrived on Mirau, mixing with the Ice Elves and driving them out of their homeland. There are many ancient stories of Yirsi history, often found in ancient ruins below the earth inscribed on clay tablets in runes.

The humans settling in Mirau formed civilisations, short-lived, unadvanced, and were colonized by Viodoxa under the Osteri Plagosi Trading Company. This all changed, however, when the Three Great Founders, future Yirsidani Elyani Taygen-Blizun, Lord Bekrija and Lord Baeyzil Menoskairos first set foot on what is now known as Mount Arros. They looked out over Nefelis, and decided to build their nation. They congregated, and decided to merge together as one nation: Anglunia.

The Three Founders built their keep with a dream: to make a grand nation, Anglunia. Yirsidani Elyani Taygen-Blizun, the Queen of Isaz, made a deal with the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa to buy some land, finally granting independence to Anglunia in 63 AJC. A lot of money was paid, yet Anglunia was still small in size.

Fall of Gilead
Commodore Rossa was one of Anglunia's greatest and oldest enemies. The hate between these two parties runs deep, and it is unknown how their hatred started. What is known, however, is that for some reason, likely Welpish unknowingly destroying a shrine dedicated to a deceased friend of Commodore, Commodore Rossa stole from Isaz and tried to burn its market.

Commodore fled, and founded a settlement named Gilead. He saw a future where it would grow into a grand city, one of the greatest on Eldham. Yet this promising future was destroyed when JohnnyDJackson found the location of the great city of Gilead. He shared it with the Great Lords, and soon an attack began.

First, Great Lord PrinoBots and JohnnyDJackson scouted out the location, finding a secret storage hidden in a mesa mountain. They stole some items, leaving quickly before being noticed. After that, Welpish led an attack on Gilead, destroying it completely. This event would go down in history as "the Fall of Gilead". Commodore would never recover from his broken dreams, and frequently placed shrines around the capital Isaz dedicated to his hatred of Welpish and his sorrow for his lost dreams.

Commodore eventually created a new settlement by the name of Karthaine, which would lead to a lot of new conflicts.

Treaty of Myrtle
Shortly after becoming independent, the Great Lords and JohnnyDJackson convinced MasterKy64 of Myrtle to join them. They rode in on their horses and had talks with MasterKy64, wherein JohnnyDJackson told him of all the things they could accomplish. And just like he predicted, Myrtle would grow to be one of Anglunia's biggest settlements, instead of a one-man town.

Andoran-Lechjan War
Seeking powerful allies and wanting a stable region, Anglunia joined the Western Central Union. One of its members, Andor, led by King Rand al'Thor, declared war on another member, Lechja. Rand al'Thor justified this by stating that it was too sparsely populated. The Western Central Union fought together in the war, and two battles were fought.

The Battle of Logos was a decisive victory for Lechja, thanks to Welpish defeating most of the enemies. Right before the battle one of Lechja’s leaders attempted to postpone it, leading to many Anglunians not participating. It was a close battle, for if Welpish hadn’t participated, all would’ve been lost.

After postponing the battle for a long time, the second battle came. This time the Western Central Union struck at the heart of Andor: Caemlyn. Many Anglunians participated, and JohnnyDJackson, a council member of Anglunia, convinced Cofko, a citizen of Caemlyn, to breach the wall and let the attackers in. The battle was easily won by the Western Central Union, and Andor completely collapsed. Following the war, Anglunia received more than half of Andor’s land, excluding Caemlyn. Lechja also dissolved shortly after and Anglunia received even more land, including Logos.

Fall of Karthaine
Karthaine, a church for Theiosism, was a settlement created by Commodore Rossa. It was intended to be a sanctuary, a place for Commodore to retire to after the fall of Gilead. Soon after its creation, however, it would fall. During the Clown War, Johnny D. Jackson, believing Commodore was in some way related to the Mr X conspiracy, ordered military scouts to find the settlement. The scouts only had very limited information - that it was located on a small island and likely outside of Anglunia's borders, nothing else.

While the scouts searched relentlessly, bandits chanced upon the island. They destroyed Commodore's shrine and drove him away, leaving death and destruction in their wake. Eventually, FoxStatik, an Anglunian scout and historian, finally discovered the island. He explored the island and found Commodore's ruined and ransacked church, completely desolate. There was nothing left. The only thing to do was to plant the flag of the Bekrija Guard.

Larp Rebellion
Following an increase in the amount of players on the server, many squatter settlements were founded on the soil of Anglunia, those being Austonia, Arrowfell and Soliana. One of these, Austonia, would plunge the nation into a civil war. From the day of its founding and integration into Anglunia, a conflict between Austonia and its overlord was inevitable.

In, many high-ranking members of Anglunia were invited to the 6 AM Larp Dinner to discuss vassal rules. This dinner would be a massacre for the Anglunian guests, and later they returned in the Skirmish of Shallowpeak, killing many of the treacherous Austonians. War would be declared.

In, Anglunia and the Soolianic Congregation, Areveyi, Phoenia,Lutum and Avaricia would fight against Austonia, Luxenstein and mercenaries. Only one Austonian showed up to the battle and no Luxenstein members, leading to disorganisation within the Anglunian forces. This led to some casualties at the hands of mercenaries but they were still able to win the war. The leaders of Anglunia would make demands for Austonia, and would wait patiently for their answer.

Governmental reforms
In the second reform, the Great Lords announced that they would leave Eldham and that there would be four successors, four kings: JohnnyDJackson, Mojas07, Misuteri_Kenshi and Blitzcomet12. JohnnyDJackson fiercely rebelled against this decision, as none of these members had had any positions in the government besides a short-lived position as Lower House Representative. Before leaving, the Great Lords gave in, crowning JohnnyDJackson king.

The government was subsequently reformed by the new Yirsidan, Yirsidan Yinower Delas-Nuwan and a Senate was put in place, with both Princes and elected senators representing the government.

Neihernspried and Vampires
Not long into his reign, Yirsidan Yinower Delas-Nuwan was infected by his own son, Laerothlynn Yinower-Nuwan, with the Neihernspried. Early stages showed light symptoms, but after a concoction given by Onsyr Panorh Panheddas-Penhator which contained cheese (something that the King notoriously hated) he refused any further medication. This lead to a downwards spiral of the king's health, the Neihernspried slowly taking over his mind while all the king could do was have short outbursts of energy wherein he screamed: "Spread the Spried!".

On top of this, the sun of Eldham and Rathnir was taken away by vampires in a dark ritual. Vampires awoke and roamed the lands of Anglunia, pestering the local population while the king could do nothing. The borders were closed, but there was not enough manpower to hold them closed, and both the citizenry and the military devolved into complete chaos.

Yinower Delas-Nuwan's death and succession
After a while, vampire hunters made sure of the sun's return and vampires left the lands of Anglunia, though Anglunia was soon infected with Neihernspried, causing a massive plague. The Yirsidani was still unreachable, and the Chancellor and his soon-to-be consort ruled in his stead. Soon-to-be, because a wedding between Yirsidan Yinower Delas-Nuwan and his fiancé, Onsyr Sarai Lovesong would soon come.

All gathered at Winterfrost Cathedral, and many of importance showed up. The ceremony took place first, after which was drinks and partying. The wedding went well, without fights, without deaths. At a certain moment, Yirsidan Yinower Delas-Nuwan called all of his guests outside to show them something. He climbed on top of the cathedral and addressed the crowd.

He jumped off the cathedral, having forced Neihernspried to end his suffering, and the Yirsidan died. His daughter, Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan, succeeded him as the new Yirsidani of Anglunia.

Soliana
The oldest son of Yinower, Yinower Yinower-Nuwan, came back to Anglunia after having left for the nations of Soliana and Phoenia. There, he offered his sister Eliyawin to give her Soliana in exchange for protection against his rebellious vassals, namely a settlement known as Cakenburg. Eliyawin gracefully accepted the offer, and after a vote in the Solianen Senate, Soliana officially joined Anglunia as a vassal.

Not long after, Laurry Lansury, Archbishop of Solonism, warned the Yirsidani about Cakenburg trying to build an army to rebel. They had contacted the nations of Yunria and Yaszuma earlier, and were now looking into buying mercenaries to try and declare independence. Eliyawin brought Shocking, Prince of Cakenburg, to court. After being shown the evidence, Eliyawin decreed that Shocking was guilty, stripped him of his titles and sentenced him to execution. Before this could happen, however, Shocking declared a civil war. This civil war lasted a mere thirty minutes before Cakenburg officially surrendered to Anglunia. This war is now known as the Thirty Minute Rebellion. After the war, Soliana experienced a downturn and left Anglunia to merge with the nation of Visio. Yinower Yinower-Nuwan would stay in Anglunia.

Confrontation with the Neihernspried
The Resistance against the Neihernspried had an ongoing war with the fungal disease, led by Sidja Foryel-Goldnyr. She was kidnapped by Cabwell Varen, leader of the Neihernspried and this urged the Resistance to take the battle to Agora, home of the Neihernspried. When Anglunia heard about this, it sent its own troops to Agora to fight with the Resistance. The battle was a resounding victory, with Sidja being rescued from the claws of the Neihernspried.

Later on, the Yirsidani of Anglunia was confronted with an inner dilemma, after which she decided to make peace with the Neihernspried, to the dismay of the Vindyi. Nevertheless, she signed a peace treaty with the Neihernspried and banned the Resistance from Anglunia in order to stop the conflict between Anglunia and the Neihernspried. In her eyes, this was a necessary decision to keep her country safe.

Areveyi and Abaddon
An age of expansion soon followed. The nation of Areveyi, a longstanding friend of Anglunia, signed a merger with Kyrveric, the new chancellor of Anglunia. The Shah of Areveyi, Echo, gracefully accepted the deal between Anglunia and Areveyi. Anglunia would expand yet again.

Abaddon, a nation in the north which had seceded from Aristios, decided to leave Eldham and give their land to Anglunia, whom they had a short friendship with after the two sides came to mutual terms in a border agreement. Azar Apollyon II signed a treaty with Anglunia, but dissolved the nation after, making the treaty invalid. The land was then seen as no man's land, and a negotiation with Aristios led by Zehros Elzar-Rezuraia the new Athavaryi, followed shortly thereafter. It was decided Aristios would get the lands that Abaddon owned, in exchange for a piece of land close to the Three Fingers of Anglunia.

Return of the Great Lords
The old great lords of Anglunia were somehow resurrected and immediately attempted to regain power, by attacking the reigning Yirsidani and keeping her hostage. They formed a tetrarchy and rebelled against Eliyawin, nearly killing her putting her into a coma. Anglunia prepared for a potential civil war. Two main factions formed for the civil war, the Great Lords and the Royalists. In addition to these factions the province of Andor announced a potential bid for independence though. The Great Lords declared Eliyawin's heir as the regent of Anglunia.

Initially Rannikko, Isaz, Lynnburg, Arrowfell and Surachai declared for the great lords. Against them stood the majority of the nation, including Bagrat, Calamdor, Rezuria, Nuwan Farm and Nortstaeyya. Arrowfell, and in extension Ayosae, later switched sides to the Royalists. The great lords rounded up a large number of dissidents and executed them at Isaz. A royalist rescue attempt was planned however got there too late and was defeated because of a traitor.

The conclusion of the war was decided at the battle of Isaz castle. The Royalist army was far larger and won by overwhelming numbers though took heavy losses. During the battle the Great Lords used forbidden magic in an attempt to win. The Great Lords were killed in the battle.

Abdication of Eliyawin and the Accession of Zehros
Following the abdication of Yirsidani Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan, Zehros was elected by the Vindyi of Anglunia to be the new monarch of the nation. The new Yirsidan Zehros Elzar-Rezuraia would go on to reign over Anglunia for the next 56 years. In his first acts as monarch two friendship and trade treaties were announced between the Vulperium and Falholt. His coronation was conducted in the newly constructed Isaz castle where he was officialised as the Yirsidan.

Augurs of Unity and Presence of Azeras
In the summer of the year 152 AJC Anglunia hosted the Augurs of Unity festival an event where the peoples of Anglunia regardless of culture or religion come together to celebrate all that is Anglunia. This festival started as it usually did with great gifts, religious proselytising and sacrifices to the Gods.

Unexpectedly however, the great dragon god of Arternaia Azeras possessed the young Yirsidan, taking on the form of a large dragon over the bonfire. His presence blessing all those in attendance for the short time he was seen. Doubtless an event that will be remembered for all eternity amongst Anglunians.

Arternaian Reformation
A period of peace and prosperity followed after the Augurs of Unity. The controversial chancellor, Yinower Yinower-Blizun, won the elections over Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan and attempted to improve Anglunia's economy. He was once again re-elected for a second term, this time somehow tieing with his rival Yinsaghal. Yinower soon caught an unknown STD from a diplomatic trip to Falholt and most of his duties were overtaken by Yinsaghal and his older brother and future Yirsidan, Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan.

Yizawan claimed to be the firstborn son of the previous monarch, Yirsidani Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan and proved to be a zealous and pious priest of Arternaia. Reportedly, he received a vision from the Arternaian patron god, Azeras, who tasked him with leading the faith into a new, reformed era. Yizawan traveled to Anglunia and brought his vision to Yirsidan Zehros, who allowed him to become the prophet of the Arternaian Faith.

A new list of tenets, rituals and so on followed, culminating in a mass baptism taking place in the Temple of Klarien near Nuwan Keep. In this massive baptism, Yizawan riled up the newly reborn Arternaians and led them on a month-long crusade to Rattican City. Unfortunately for Yizawan, word of his crusade had gotten to the Rattican and the rats ambushed him and his forces in their holy city. Yizawan's peasant army was crushed, and he was forced to march home with a severely decimated force. He reportedly blamed the lack of piety in Anglunia for his loss, riling up the Anglunian citizenry more.

However, after being beaten by them, Yizawan reconsidered his one-sided rivalry with Ratism and believed them to be a possible good ally. Soon after, the Kingdom of Anglunia and the Rattican would become allies, after later wars.

Shattered Isles War
Bel-Ismer, a breakaway state from Aristios north of Anglunia, had become good friends with the kingdom following the dissolution of Aristios. The two respective nations signed a mutual defense pact, and this would soon be called upon. Bel-Ismer was suddenly attacked by the Shattered Isles, a smaller island state seeking to reunite the Empire of Aristios.

Anglunia was called into the war, but soon the Kingdom of Anglunia vassalized Bel-Ismer in order to protect them from the invasion. With the help of Bel-Ismer's allies in the Rattican, defenses were built up in Bel-Ismer's capital of Phaedrae and their combined power managed to scare off the Shattered Isles. Soon after, Anglunia would also vassalize the Princedom of Farania.

Great Serronan War
A short period of peace followed but this did not last in the slightest. A new alliance block called the Eldham Alliance formed, which soon demanded reparations from Anglunia's ally the Vulperium for their wrongdoings. The Vulperium refused, and Anglunia followed them into war. Three battles would be fought at Manzig, where Anglunian soldiers were sent far away from home to defend the Vulperium. Eventually, the Vulperium was forced to surrender. This technically marks the first and only time Anglunia has lost a war.

Anglunia dealt with the losses easily, seeing as they were not fully involved in the war as a secondary party. Chancellor Yinsaghal and Yizawan continued their plans for expansion, this time posing an offer to Novastonia, an old rival, for vassalization. Novastonia accepted, and this marked the point in which Anglunia was at its height, territory-wise. Not long after, Bel-Ismer left Anglunia with consent to go on and form the Second Empire of Aristios.

Yinower's Rebellion
Yinower's Rebellion was a nation wide conflict which lasted for 11 years from 180 AJC to 191 AJC. The war was fought between the two Anglunian noble houses Nuwan lead by Yinower Yinower-Blizun and Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan, and Rezuraia lead by Yirsidan Zehros Elzar-Rezuraia. Many battles were fought during the war, some include the Siege of Arrowfell and the Siege of Apriney. Most of the battles would be Nuwan victories. The war would end with the conditional surrender and abdication of Yirsidan Zehros. Yinower would then become Yirsidan Yinower Yinower-Blizun II.

After the civil war ended in 191 TE Anglunia did not imediatly go into peace as Yirsidan Yinower Yinower-Blizun II would only be Yirsidan for a year before being assasinated by his own vindyi. After Yirsidan Yinower's assasination, his chosen heir Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan was elected and crowned as the new Yirsidan of Anglunia in 192 TE. The crowning of Yirsidan Yizawan marked the official end of violence brought on from the civil war and the start of Anglunia's first era of peace since the civil war began.

Second Zeladar Crisis
After King Yizawan's ascension to the throne, strange things had begun to happen in Anglunia. The old shrines of over a century ago, shrines dedicated to an evil goddess named Zeladar, had begun to see more activity. The Zeladar cult had returned, and Yizawan knew they were dangerous. Together with a band of soldiers, he raided their secret hideout under the city Rannikko. There, they were captured, and some of them sacrificed to appease and release Zeladar from her imprisonment. Yizawan managed to escape through all the chaos.

Meanwhile, the monarch had been missing for a while and the nobles of Anglunia decided to call a moot to decide a new ruler, as king Yizawan hadn't appointed an heir yet. At the moot, the followers of Zeladar attacked, stole the crown, and their leader named himself the new ruler. The leader of the cultists revealed himself as the chancellor of the realm and Yizawan's half-brother, Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan.

Yizawan went missing for a few years while the houses of Anglunia clashed together to grab the throne and at the same time combatting Zeladar's influence and her cultists. The king finally returned, and led an attack on his capital, Isaz, to retake the Isaz Keep from the cultists. They won the Battle of Isaz and the cultists were driven out.

Not long after, the Anglunians took action to destroy the threat of Zeladar and marched to the holy site called the Holy Tree of Azeras, which Zeladar was trying to corrupt. There they fought off the cultists, Yizawan and his half-brother fighting each other in a death duel, and enacted a ritual which summoned all the gods to take care of Zeladar. They froze her, along with all of Anglunia.

War of the Mad King
Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan, following his defeat of Zeladar in 210 TE, grew his megalomania to the point where he declared himself as one of the Arterna, the god of chaos and order. This declaration proved to be extremely controversial, as many in the Arternaian faith contested his newlyfound status as god.

Livya's Rebellion
In the Year 217 TE, following a short period of peace with the ending of the Second Zeladar Crisis, Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan seized Livya Dardellan-Lochatlan, figurehead of the noble house of Lochatlan and Aellonsyr of the Norstcayr region due to many slights she made against him in the past. This was an extremely controversial decision, as Livya had become the head of the Arternaian religion in the years prior due to her involvement in the ritual to defeat Zeladar. Yizawan seemed to become more and more unhinged, as his justifications for her capture did not seem to be in any way satisfactory to the vast majority of the Anglunian nobility.

A trial took place in Rannikko where Yizawan, without any evidence, sentenced Livya to death. In response, Livya Dardellan-Lochatlan called for a trial by combat, which Yizawan graciously accepted. What followed was a duel between two champions: Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan representing the Yirsidan, and Azial Livas-Lochatlan representing his mother Livya. In a close and even duel, Yinsaghal managed to eventually mortally wound Azial, nearly killing the young man. However, Livya managed to escape. Now having escaped to Norstaeyya, her home, Livya called for an open rebellion against the crown in the Year 217 TE, calling on her allies in House Vindya, House Verak'at, House Lansury and House Silvaranth. In response, Yizawan called on his remaining loyal bannermen in House Nuwan, House Betal'lan, House Blizun and House Ironback. Yizawan was however not the one to make the first move, as Livya quickly seized the Nuwan loyalist city of Arrowfell, which lay close to Norstaeyya.

Yizawan began to make plans in the same year of 217 TE to retake Arrowfell through an armed landing on the shores south of the city, and began to raise his army. Raising a total of 35,000 men against the 20,000 raised by House Lochatlan, Yizawan began his siege of Arrowfell. Shortly before the actual battle, Yizawan changed plans and instead landed his troops north of the city in the Year 219 TE, launching a surprise siege from the northern forest against the Lochatlan forces, capturing the city with a small force. What followed was a long and tumultuous battle between the Nuwan and Lochatlan forces south of the city as the tides had turned, both sides carrying heavy losses. In a manoeuver tactic, Lochatlan forces managed to capture Yizawan's very own Nuwan Keep.

The battle still ended in a Nuwan victory, and Yizawan began to have a change of mind seeing the fallen soldiers. He met with Livya and made white peace, followed by a marriage pact between the two to ensure longstanding peace between House Nuwan and House Lochatlan. Much to Yizawan's dismay, this did not end the hostilities between the two sides, as Livya still carried much hatred for him and House Nuwan.

Yizawan's Mass Sacrifice and the Return of Eliyawin
Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan sacrificed around 50,000 people in a massive human sacrifice where he declared war on his fellow Arterna and declared his intention to kill all dieties.

In the year 230 TE, the former Yirsidani of Anglunia, Eliyawin Yinower Nuwan returned after hearing the atrocities her son the Yirsidan had been committing. She suspected that the Nuwan Curse was eating away at her son's brain and planned to cure him. Apon her return she temporarily took power away from Yizawan in order to protect Anglunia from more of his policies caused by this curse. She took over as a regent.

Death of "Mother Anglunia"
After one year of Eliyawin's regency as ruler of Anglunia, she had thought of a way to rid her son Yizawan of his curse. Deep below the ground of the Isaz Keep were the infamous dungeons and sacrificial pit, Yizawan would have to be sacrificed. However when the time came, Yizwan resisted and went on a violent rampage and murdered his mother Eliyawin in front of many of his subjects. This was the last straw for the people of Anglunia as their most beloved Queen Mother had been killed in such a cruel way. Yizawan would flee the scene and go into hiding. The loss of Eliyawin was felt far and wide across the whole of Anglunia.

Restoration of Yizawan
Upon the death of Eliyawin, Yizawan went on the run for two years. His brother Alvar Eliyawin-Nuwan proclaimed himself Yirsidan of Anglunia. Yizawan was not seen during this time, not even at his mother's funeral. In 233 TE, Alvar was in the middle of his coronation speach, that was when Yizawan and his loyalist returned and emerged out of the Isaz dungeons ambushing and overthrowing his brother before his reign had even begun. Yizawan reaffirmed his position as the rightful king.

The Solonsburgh trial bombings of 249 TE
In the spring of 249 TE, a Solianen gnome by the name of Yek, son of Yek, was put on trial for the charges of invasion of privacy, disrespect of officials and heresy. Yek was belived to run the infamous and secret gnome mafia which made the trial important. Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan sent his brother and experienced lawyer Yinsaghal to defend Yek son of Yek. Yinsaghal couldn't set foot on Solianen territory because of the situation in Anglunia but it didn't stop him from showing up in disguise as an Yirsi scholar from Isaz. Though there are accusations of Hadon Dardellan-Lochatlan, the prosecutor, bribing the jury, Yek's lawyer, Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan, was unable to defend him and Yek was found guilty on all charges. The final sentence: death. Yek was long thought to be the head of the Gnome Mafia. After the sentence, someone, presumably one of Yek's associates, bombed the court with unidentified explosives and killed dozens of people at the courthouse in Solonsburgh.

Following this, Yek fled the scene and a bounty of 5000 denars was put out for him, dead or alive. An increase in hate crime and racial tension followed after these events. A curfew was placed on the gnome slums in Soliana, which caused protest by the gnomes in the area.

""

Capture of Isaz - 252 TE
As part of the Wars of the Mad King, the brother of the reigning Yirsidan Yizawan, Yinsaghal formed an Anti-Yizawan army which gathered in the forests of Yirsaad in preparation to retake the capital city. At that stage Yinsaghal knew the Solianen or Lochatlans would not surrender at mere declaration.

Siege of Norstaeyya - 262 TE
In the northern toen of Norstaeyya in the year 262 TE, a large crowd has gathered outside the town hall. Livya the fallen Archamvir stands on the balcony to speak to all the people and soldiers outside. She makes it clear that there will be no surrender to Yinsaghal who she describes as a "tyrant". By the end of her speech, the corwd erupted in ovation, plesging their loyalty and support. ""Livya then proclaimed that as the legitamate wife of Yirsidan Yizawan that she was the rightful Yirsidani or Queen of Anglunia. She crowned herself on the balcony with a silver crown. The siege began soon after.

Death of Yizawan and end of the War of the Mad King
Yirsidan Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan died in 262 TE. His death marked then end of the Yizawan Era. Yizawan was the longest reiging monarch in Anglunian history. His reign was also the most destructive period in the history of Anglunia, his death also ended the longest civil war Anglunia ever experienced; the War of the Mad King. He was succeded by rival and brother Yinsaghal.

War of the Comet
Anglunia being one the first countries to enter the War on the side of Eldham

Geography
Anglunia is a mostly cold country, with taiga and snowy mountains in the north. Further north, however, reveals oak forests and plain fields, perfect terrain for farmland. Mount Arros, the tallest mountain in Anglunia, is located in the middle, to the southwest of Isaz. Further south lie more oak forests. Further from that Lies the Great Mirauan Sand Sea and the Dark Hollow. There is a pattern in Mirau and therefore Anglunia, that the temperature becomes more humid the further south.

Culture
Anglunia is a mostly ice elven nation, made up mostly of the Yirsi. They used to be a nomadic people that roamed the northern regions of Mirau, namely Nefelis. The Yirsi, descendant from the Hyakki, are a peaceful people. War is usually their last resort, and there is no warrior culture present in Anglunia. There are, however, two things that any Yirsi, and by that any Anglunian, hates. Namely, the enemy, Morgrend, and betrayal. Betrayals like that of Morgrend and the Austonians have deeply scarred Yirsi culture and ever since, they have fiercely hated anything like it.

Religion
Anglunia has a diverse set of religions. The north, home to most Ice Elves, follows Arternaia, a dualistic religion dedicated to the Arterna, shapeless beings that roam the realms outside of the living realms. It is a pagan religion, following multiple god. They have small, round temples built out of stone brick with a fire in the middle. Also worthy of note is Zeladar worship, one of the most hated Arterna. She has several shrines in Anglunia dedicated to her, from secret ones, to ones in the middle of nowhere.

Solonism is also a common religion in Anglunia, mostly followed in the south, as Anglunia was the birthplace of Solonism. After the leaving of Soliana, however, Solonism experienced a steep decline and is now only followed by a select few citizens who still worship Solon. Another religion is Lux, which is more common in the southern territory of Areveyi.
