Andorn

The Third Empire of Andorn (Technically the 7th Independent Andorn government and the 9th government in the region's history) is an country primarily located in northwestern Syltör. It consists of 9 Provinces, and two principalities. Andorn is a territorially large nation, measuring out at about 2.39 Square Miles (Approx 6197900 Blocks), it dominates the central Syltor area, Andorn shares land borders with the Syltor Empire to it's east, Norfthorn to it's west, and the Aurlunor Velande to it's south. With a population of about 24 people (08/15/2021) it is the 26th most populous nation in Rathnir. The capital and most populous city of Andorn is Orilin. The 3rd Empire of Andorn would be seceded by the 4th Bardonian Empire during the Andorn-Integration Agreement.

Pog-Bar Period
The Pog-Bar period, started with the founding of Pillars of the Sun, a quite large city within the current Andorian borders. The Pog-Bar period got its name from the chain of bars that HimoS401, the original founder of Pillars of the sun, owned.

Kingdom of Andorn
The Old Andorn period began on December 14, 2020., when the kingdom was recognized by HimoS401. Its territory was originally claimed by Pog Bar, in Pillars of the Sun. Himo would later unite the surrounding land under the Kingdom of Andorn.

The old Andornian period saw great growth in the size, population and power on Rathnir's political stage; the population grew so much that it comprised 2% of Rathnir's population at the time.

At the end of Himo's term as leader, he would be couped by Thunderfantv and Realz, but were decimated allowing him to escape and leave rathnir. Thunderfantv would assume control of Andorn and take Northorn lands and setup a majority of Andorn's Modern day southern border.

Ryzani Purchase
The Ryzani conflict began as inactivity between the Andornian ranks started to grew. HimoS401 was one of the last player that was active in the Andornian communities, so HimoS401 decided, that the only thing he can do now is sell Andornian territories to foreign power. The day that this happened was the 15th of March 2021, when HimoS401 sold the entirety of Andorn to Ryzan.

"I have sold Andorn to Ryzan. After weeks of being dead, I decided to profit off the inactivity" ... " CanadianToss is in (mostly) full control over Andorn."

Andorn would be a part of the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire until it collapsed 1 days after the purchase due to infighting on power control. The Andorn lands would be annexed into the Second Tsardom of Ryzan.

Bardonian Annexation War
Following the dissolution of the Aurlunoren-Ryzani Empire, Andorn was incorporated into the Second Tsardom of Ryzan. Due to the chaos erupting, Bardonian troops managed to seize the city of Tossograd and multiple Ryzan cities with no resistance. Seeing how Ryzan was being ineffective in their government and suffering from the fallout from Aurlunor, Andorn (Under the control of Realz) declared independence and sided with Bardonia as a vassal. This prevented Andorn citizens and cities to be damaged or attacked from the Bardonian forces and limit the conflict mainly to Ryzan.

Andorn Crisis
The Andorn Crisis was an event in Andorn history where the entire political system fell apart. This was mostly caused by the failures of Jacw in his running of Bardonia after the ferryman war. Read more about this point in history. The Crisis would cause massive decentralization of the Andorn region and would not be resolved until the Bardonian Spring. More information about the Andorn Crisis can be found here.

Holy Syltör Empire
The Holy Syltör Empire (HSE) began as a result of Bardonia's conquest of the Second Tsardom of Ryzan and the beginning of the Andorn crisis, and the death of the Bardonian Chancellor. These events as well as inactivity allowed Andorn to become fragmented until it broke up into three different independent states: Savras, Wivamovia and Heli. These states created what's now called the Holy Syltörian Empire (HSE) under the leadership of Hernicii, which acted in many ways similar to the real-life Holy Roman Empire, having one central leader called a Kaiser and then having a group of counts and other noble titles. The HSE is now regarded as a period of instability and player inactivity, although it has shaped the cultures, traditions and governmental structure of the Andorn lands to this day.

Bardonia Period
The HSE was later (May 2021) reintegrated along with the Kingdom of Askonai into the Bardonian empire acting as empire within an empire. Although it somewhat has kept its governmental structure of the HSE along with some reforms to centralize the government with the total power above the Kaiser was the Bardonian chancellor.

For the Bardonians, Andorn was just one of their many provinces, and it acted as such in many ways, but it still had few differences, most notable of which where the unique symbols, few differences in law (see Imperial Andornian Law), and a certain amount of autonomy form the Bardonians. A large amount of stability and centralization would occur under Bardonia to form the modern borders of Andorn and political structure.

Bardonian Spring (First Empire of Andorn)
With war on the horizon, Lucius Von Savras (Kaiser of Andorn) quickly moved to secure Andorn territories under his main control. When the Allium-Coalition War broke out, Lucius seceded from the Bardonian Empire and declared the Second Empire of Andorn a neutral state. This would not save the destruction of the war to come to the Pillars of the Sun and the Andorn loss of Salcar to Valle. (The loss of Salcar would set-up the future Second Andorn Crisis)

Avondale-Askonian Annexation
Lucius Von Savras decided to go to Aurlunor for a brief vacation (Irl went on vacation) and left Capna in charge of Andorn. While Lucius was away, Capna decided to annex the province of Avondale into Askonia to form a mega province of Askonia. Upon hearing the news, Lucius revoked the decree and reformed the provinces as usual.

Second Andorn Crisis (Second and Third Empires of Andorn)
On 8/26/2021, Capna (Head of Andorn Military) and Jingo(High Archon) hired Ulfaeng and convinced most of the Andorn military to support the removal of Kaiser Lucius from power. Capna had been a influential person in Andorn from creating the Andorn Legion and providing advise to the Kaiser. He did not support Andorn's non-intervention and isolationist policies which caused him partly to do the coup. To prevent outright civil war, the Lucius abdicated from power and transferred Kaisership of Andorn to Capna. Capna announced the 3rd Imperial Empire of Andorn. Immediately after this announcement, Avondale, Orilin, Areska, Savras, and Schwarzenberg declared independence from Andorn and formed a loyalist coalition vying for Lucius reinstated. The city of Ravaryea declared independence from the province of Fitchtenberg and the country Andorn and declared neutrality from both sides until the region stabilizes (Ravaryea thought that Fictenberg would side with the loyalist and bring the city to war). Fitchtenberg would declare independence and neutrality minutes later, but had more leaning ties to the Loyalists. For 4 hours, Patch and duel123abc protested the removal to Capna and gave a deadline for Lucius be reinstated or there would be war at the end of the day (Doing some discord funny business). Capna, seeing half the country falling apart, seceded his power and reinstated Lucius as Kaiser of Andorn with the promises of reforms and fled to Tortuga. All the provinces would rejoin Andorn with a new constitution, being written by Salos Kanik, which gave the first checks and balances to the government of Andorn creating two separate chambers of legislatures.

Syltor Conflict
The Syltor Conflict was the first time that Andorn fully mobilized to fight in the War on Bandits and later the Second Ryzani Civil War. It would mark the first time Andorn would combat bandits and squatters in the region on a large scale conflict. They would align themselves with the Syltor league in a coalition army to liberate Ryzan and take Septa. The conflict would eventually end on 9/26/2021 with President Josbar of Ryzan surrendering to Bardonia, but the war on Septa still continuing..

Ryzan Collapse
With the collapse of Ryzan resistance, Andorn soldiers were evacuated along with Ryzani refugees. The Andorn government convened in an emergency session to decide the future of Andorn. The countries of Aurlunor, the Greater Syltor Empire, and Aristios sent requests to Andorn asking if Andorn would accept the offer to unionize with their nation. Andorn discord chat would descend into chaos after duel-citizens from Aurlunor, Aristios, and Ryzan all voiced their opinions and even voted in Andorn-Only polls. This resulted in Andorn officials revoking citizenship of all foreigners, so Andorn citizens could voice their own opinions. After a 4 hour long debate by the Imperial Archons, Andorn declared that they would not be unionizing with any country. Andorn would form the Pact of Syltor between Andorn and Greater Syltor Empire, NAP between Aristios, and a future alliance with Aurlunor.

Remtal Mountain Dispute
With the collapse of Ryzan under the Greater Syltor Empire, Andorn used the instability of the change in regime to take the contested land in northern Ryzan. They bought the land from Ast0 the Emperor of Ryzan who was the rightful leader of the land. When posted about this deal, a Ryzan republican splinter group contested this and formed a non-recognized state of Neboslavia. The dispute has come at a standstill with Andorn waiting for the GSE to restabilize the area and formally secede the land to Andorn hands.

Sixth Barbarian Crisis
Starting on 10/13/2021 until 10/16/2021. Located in northern Aurlunor, a squatter settlement was discovered by Aurlunor forces. Peace negotiations were in place for a peaceful transition of settlers out of Aurlunor. There would be leaked documents that suggested the squatters were planning to be hostile to Aurlunor. Fearing an open war, Aurlunor recalled all citizens to their country and prepared for open war. The leader would send multiple pieces of proof to the Aurlunor leader proving the leaked documents were false and were from a false leader of the settlement. Due to their no tolerance policy regarding squatters, Aurlunor allowed the squatters to leave on the following weekend. Seeing these negotiations, Andorn officials decided to allow these members to resettle the principality of Dugal to form into the principality of Richteria.

Andorn Bardonia Union
On 10/24/2021, Andorn hosted a referendum and the 3rd Andorn convention to decide if Andorn was to join the 4th Bardonian Empire. The results came in with a 24-14 majority from the population and a 9-2 majority from the government.

Religion
Freedom of Religion is practiced in Andorn

Pillars of the Sun
HimoS401 created this religion in the city of Pillars of the Sun. One of the first religions in Rathnir, it is practiced in Andorn and has a lasting impact in the region. The religion later fell out of practice.

Dandelionism
Due to Bardonia's impact in the region when Andorn was a Province, Dandelionism is a notable religion Andorn has.

Twin Dragon
The history of Twin Dragon in Andorn mostly stems from the fact they border the Aurlûnor Velande to the south, and share a border with the city of Volkoregrod, which has a rather sizeable Twin Dragon minority. The religion would become the faith of the Kaiser, Lucius von Savras with his marriage to Sareariel Lelya-Earcala. It became one of the fastest growing faiths in Andorn.
