Kringal

Kringal (/ˈkrɪŋ.ɡəl, -æl/ KRING-gəl, -gal; Kringok: [ˈkʁɪŋ.ɡal]) is a town in Thro-at Go-at, located east of Leythe.

Geography
Kringal is located in a peninsula east of the Tahta river east of Leythe, situated within the Eork Plains.

Origins
A lot of the early history of the Kringe people is unknown as most of the knowledge about this period is oral. The current most widely believed theory is that the Kringe people were nomads living in modern-day southwest Azuria. There is the tale of the last Kringe migrating south across the Atsyllean Sea and with the gods as their guides, settling in what would be Kringal.

This tale creates a lot of disagreements amongst historians as to what caused the migration, where have the rest of the Kringe population gone, and other unanswered questions.

City-state era
The sovereign city-state of Kringal was founded on 10 May 2021 by PD666 and whao_M on what, at the time, were claims of the United Kingdoms. During this time, the Kringe learned to control the few small canals scattered across the bay's coast to save more land for both agriculture and building.

As the first settlements were being constructed and Kringal began to slowly grow, the first tensions began with the United Kingdoms, as Kringal had been settled within their claims.

Era of the United Kingdoms
On 14 May, Kringal officially joined the United Kingdoms under the crown of Greenstem as the Lorddom of Kringal and accepted the Powers of Crowns, Lords and Man.

Resistance against the United Kingdoms lasted all the way up until their downfall. One of the most outspoken resistors was the Ta Manik, JANVS. Many of the inhabitants and lords of the United Kingdoms were unhappy with the new centralization efforts of the crowns and soon had to take a step back. A notable example was Amendment 10 which forced towns to pay a fine up to 10 000 if spotted without a flag of the United Kingdoms. After they rolled back, they re-introduced less radical centralization policies that saw great success amongst lords, and it would mark the beginning of a golden-age-like growth to Kringal which is still ongoing, although slowed down during the downfall of the United Kingdoms.

Viodoxa era
On 6 June, under the threat of invasion by a coalition, the United Kingdoms dissolved, and Kringal joined Viodoxa under the province of Eok. On the same day, JANVS resigned as the Ta Manik. On 19 June, Viodoxa dissolved.
