The Realm of Avondale

The Realm of Avondale is a land of mountains and wooded valleys located on the largest mountain on the wivamovian mountain range. Avondale has undergone many changes throughout its existence under several empires and even a brief stint as a independent kingdom. It was founded officially on the 9th of August 2021 (in lore date to come soon). After Ard Avondale (Patchr) settled an derelict Wivamovian city and renamed the mountain the area he settled Avondale after his namesake.

The first days of the realm:

Under the Authority of Kaiser Lucius Von Savras who ruled the land of andorn under the 3rd Empire of Bardonia the province of wivamovia was formally dissolved after all remaining members had left or disappeared, and Avondale was born. The Initial Borders of Avondale covered almost the entire mountain range shown here in this map created at the time shown in map 1 The creation of Avondale was an anomaly for Andorn as usually there would be a requirement in population size in order for a province to be formed, instead of a having a population to found a new province Lucius bestowed the land to Ard in exchange for a Fortress to be built upon one of the peaks of the mountain to act as a anchor point for military operations and defence in the area.

Avondale in a New Andorian Empire: Years past and work on the mountain continued, the land was cleared and the mountain was prepared, the first stones were laid and and the fortress began to take shape, but it was not formed fast enough. A coalition had come to end bardonia, as the armies marched on New Dorasterrock, Kaiser Lucius met with the Emperor of Bardonia and in a Solemn moment, Andorn was realised from the empire to protect it from the coalition.

Now Andorn was its own independent empire, it prospered and grew and with it so did Avondale, the fortress was fully shaped and the outer walls were beginning to reach there full height, A town was being built under the fortress and a new party hall was being built on an opposing peak, despite the construction and ever changing development on the mountain avondale was fairly quiet. Until Hinomir.

The neighbouring province to Avondale Shwarzenberg had decided to generate to funding for there own developments and was to sell a tract of land which contained the ruins of the city Hinomir the other great wivamovian settlement to the one that Ard had settled, this feature however was side tracked at the time by the fact that buying this land would give Avondale Access to the Sea of pearls. Askonia was also interested in the land and a bidding commenced. Avondale won the bid and bought the land extending its size which is shown in this map of the time. Ard looking to expand the population in his province decided to take advantage of the ruins of hinomir and started to rebuild and replant crops bringing in new citizens. Askonia had not forgotten there desire for this land and a dispute had broken out. Through some confusion and fuelled by the desire for this land the leader of the Askonia had taken control of the city. At the same time Ard had been able to track down and promise the city to the Last wivamovian in Andorn to reignite the light of wivamovian culture in the land and to help him grow the numbers of Avondale.

The dispute could not be settled and despite the kaiser supporting Avondale in the matter Capna the leader of askonia would not release the city to Benjamin Casul. In a surprising turn of events Capna and a few other statemen including Lucius' heir Jingo tried to rise up against him, while they were successful in driving the kaiser away from his throne he was shortly restored by Ard of Avondale and The Leader of Orilin. After the plot was foiled Capna temporarily fled andorn abandoning the city leaving it open for Benjamin Casul to claim his rightful place restoring hinomirs banners.

In the preceding years the party hall, largest in all of syltor made from the finest snowstone, the fortress on the mountain neared completion and Hinomir had grown significantly with the culture of wivamovia flourishing once again, so significantly had it grown Ard realised he was losing his grip on the city and its people, faced with the reality of clamping down on there individuality he'd instead decided to transfer the lordship of his province to Benjamin Casul for him to reform Avondale into Wivamovia.

The Quick Return of Avondale:

Soon after the transfer Ard Avondale decided that even though he thought wivamovia was ready he still wanted to live under his own banner as he did originally and negotiated the release of his city and mountain from the domain under the Avondale Principality Agreement to bring back Avondale as a province in the empire on the condition that he would return the land to wivamovia when he longer inhabited it, he would go on to not commit to returning the land.

Avondale between the Principality agreement and the fall of the 4th Bardonian Empire:

The realm during this time was quaint and quiet with only a small population continuing throughout while more of the mountain was developed construction on the fortress had ground to a halt, the party hall was torn down and a series of town buildings was erected on the mountain replacing the buildings by the lake at the bottom of the mountain. During this time Ard met Alexander Cornaro later Alexander Avondale-Cornaro, who agreed to be his heir which propelled him to break his agreement with Wivamovia much to there anger.

As the 4th Empire destabilised so did Andorn, ultimately reaching a breaking point where Jingo Von Hannover the son of Bingo the original traitor to strike at andorn again trying to lay claim to its throne, during the chaos Oranje Von Savras the current Kaiserin under the advice of Lucius who was acting as the emperor of bardonia to dissolve and release the provinces of andorn to stop the coup. This resulted in the end of the andorian empire temporarily as it shattered into its various provinces, this included Avondale.

Soon after this however Lucius himself was removed from power and the new regime the Order of the Black Dandelion seized control and backed Bingo, and begun to threaten the various states which had broken away from Bardonia. The threat was ended when Ryzan and Avondale made contact with the empire of Uldarash and requested aid in securing a peaceful exit from the crumbling empire, the request was granted and bardonia ended any futher threats or advances against the breakaway states.

Avondale would rejoin a now broken and weakened Andorn empire which had lost significant amounts of territory to its own provinces who had not rejoined the empire.

Post 4th empire collapse and present day Avondale:

The mountain got terribly quiet. Ard had fallen Ill during his retirement from leadership and Alexander was extremely busy trying to keep Andorn together the mountain city became unmoving, until even Alexander was struck with a similar illness falling into a coma. The illness spread to other inhabitants and even to the aniamls of the city and most precariously the precious mooshrooms. With the city weakening and the light of avondale flickering, something drastic had to be done. no matter the cost.... (where going to be doing a rp event soon)
