Saror Haven

Saror Haven, commonly known as New Haven, was nation that existed around twelve years ago on the west coast of modern-day Catania. The nation was ruled by a single monarch though adopted a republican government after its separation from the Drakaen Concordat  It contained the three cities of  Sora, Portavel, and it’s capital Goldhaven. The nation was disbanded when it was successfully annexed by Mugen in the Drakaen War of Secession.

Foundation
Saror Haven, likely named after the Rathniri continent of Haven, was one of the original nations of Eldham, and was founded by Mcats, a figure which little is known about. Mcats ruled Saror Haven until its annexation by the Drakaen Concordat.

Cities
The first city constructed by the Sarorans was the floating city of Sora located on the central coastline. It remained the capital until the construction of Goldhaven in the mesa near Jorvick.

A few years later the city of Porthaven, constructed by Hulesmar was established on the northwest border and acted as a gateway into Goldhaven. It was an important trade city until it was abandoned.

Annexation
As the threat of invasion from the surrounding Drakaen Concordat became more and more likely Mcats was forced to capitulate more powerful nation. Under the terms of annexation Mcats was able to remain in power, however he had to pay a monthly tithe and obey all orders of the Concordat. The sudden decision came as a shock to many residents who did not expect their king to give in to Drakaen demands. Some even considered revolting against the king and declaring their cities independent.

Likely fearing the growing power of imperialist individuals within the newly democratic Drakaen Concordat and sensing the weakness from the Drakaen-Barbossan Diplomatic Crisis Saror Haven declared independence. They were quickly followed by Puerto Amarillo and several other nations within the Drakaen lands.

Post-Independence
After the collapse of the Drakaen Concordat Saror Haven attempted to transfer its power form Mcats into a Republican form of government, however this transition would be interrupted by the invading city of Jorvick.

Drakaen War of Secession
The attack by Jorvick led to the beginning of the Drakaen War of Secession in which the nations of Puerto Amarillo and Smegland came to the defense of Saror Haven, forming the Bay of Peace Coalition. In response to this new alliance Jorvick joined the newly independent nation of Mugen to defend itself against the Coalition’s superior military.

After various skirmishes the Coalition forces invaded the city of Jorvick itself in an attempt to bring a decisive end to the conflict. Due to poor leadership and lack organization however, the invading forces were pushed back from Jorvick and forced to retreat. This defeat marked the end of the war which concluded with a Mugen victory.

Collapse
After the defeat of Saror Haven Mcats mysteriously vanished without a word leaving Awwmanboi in charge of the nation. Due to the crumbling and disorganized government however, many Sarorans fled to Phoenia, Amarillo, and various other parts of the Drakaen Sea. Eventually Awwmanboi realized that the best thing to do was to disband the nation. The nation was soon swallowed up by Mugen with the exception of Porthaven which acted as the last remnant of New Haven for some months before being completely abandoned and destroyed by Hulesmar.

Recent efforts to rebuild Porthaven have recently begun by the citizens of Mugen. In the modern day the city stands as a memorial to the last bastion of the Saroran nation.
