Zie Western Drakaes

Black Banners Unravel, Drakaes Rises! ""Following the chaos of the end of Zie Drakaen Köntrybund a new era of began for the Drakesland. It was the era of nation states, of the rise of Amarillo and Valreach, an era which would end in the collapse of the Twilight Empire of Amarillo and the rejection of Drakaen culture in Valreach. It was followed by the Drakaen darkage, a time of absolute decline of western drakaes and the stedy stagnation of the east.

During the Drakaen darkage new devides grew, such as decleration of independence of Aurica, Mordia, and Takavia from Amarillo. And new ideals for unification were considered, most importantly the Salazarian League: A military alliance between all the states of Western Drakaes. The spark that brought the nations together was the 2nd Amarillian civil war, which resulted in a Republican takeover of failing Empire. In the Holmfirth Congress the nations of Ábergard-Alabasta, Amarillo, Aurica, Taernsbia, and Takavia came together to form the Union of Zie Western Drakaes.

The Holmfirth Congress
The Congress in the city of Holmfirth marked the signing of the People's Mandate of Zie Wäßner Drakaes. It was attended by the rulers of Aurica, Ábergard-Alabasta, Amarillo, Arthholds, Taernsbia, and Takavia attended the congress, and all except Arthholds signed the mandate on this day. The conference quickly devolved into heavy drinking and even a wedding was held near the end.

Drakaes Rises
In the weeks following the unification Drakaes made rapid progress in fixing the problems of its predecessors. The civil war in Amarillo was ended in moments as the Kingdom of Amarillo fled into exile on Porphyropolis and the Republic of Amarillo established full control over the mainland. The economy grew and cities started expanding again for the first time since the beginning of the Drakaen dark age. Soon the first Autarch, Maria Canalopin, was elected and began diplomatic talks with Valreach to avoid an early war. New relations were forged with Roddinport and Kryvonea.

The Two Front Problem
In the early days of Drakaes the union was faced with two powerful rivals in both the east and west, in Valreach and the Imperial Provinces of Aristios. There were multiple solutions proposed, initially it was assumed that war would break out in Limuria, forcing Drakaen involvement. Claims were prepared for a long war, in which Drakaes would have to hold out against much stronger adversaries, until the IPA got in trouble with Ashai. The crisis was deescalated by the dissolution of Gardenia, thereby giving Drakaes some room to breath.

The risk of a two front war remained prominent however, so two new solutions were proposed. The first was a triple alliance with the IPA and Valreach, this was rapidly thrown out as the Drakaen administration at the time believed the two allies would bring more problems than good, and the discovery of IPA medelling in Drakaen politics quickly settled the decision. The solution to the two front problem would be loyalty to Ashai, which also had Arthholds finally integrate into Drakaes.

Kish Crisis
This shit's too fucking complicated, we indirectly killed Uraka, whoopsie

It's all bogie's fault tho

CATO Adventures
Vinovia, IPA, Atlechia, Morladron, Dara-Lumonde where Ashai went Drakaes followed. The Drakaen army improved from a glorified arms factory to a notable fighting force.

CATO Downfall
Drakaes was dissatisfied with CATO long before its collapse, by the time of the Ravenguard crisis Drakaes had halted sending soldiers to CATO wars and was no longer forbidding its soldiers to fight for the enemy side. This change was a quite one, as there was no clear end in sight for the alliance the government believed it to best to keep a low profile.

When Ashai left CATO Drakaes swiftly went along and began shrinking claims and donating material to settle for a long war. These preperations did not end after the retreat of the Hands, they were only moved to frindly nations which had been having issues with the AWE.

During the AWE war Drakaes actively supported the rebelions and participated in the preperations as well as the fighting of all major battles. The most notable by far being the battle of Winterose, where Drakaes did a vast amount of preperation to defend the city, in order to repay a favour to player Holycannon110

Breviento Crisis
Breviento joined VVR, we got the last claim in Breviento, and took the land. Then some people wanted to rebel from VVR and we gave them the go ahead.
