Adaen, also known as “State of Adaen” is a nation located on the continent of Ummarnu. It was founded on the 30th of April 2021 by Tyton Artki as a state, dependent of the Huitca Federation. After the fall of the Federation, It became an independent nation (even if some call it a state at this day). It is governed since the 15th of April 2022 by the hoxi phunter648, also mayor of the capital: New Chalon.

Before Adaen
The land of Adaen was before known as Teshub and was part of the Old Kingdoms of Talawa. At this time, the lands were mainly habited by Talawans, but they later migrated to the south and the land was claimed by the Huitcan Federation. After that the federation took the land, the huitcans started to settle there into the new states which included Adaen.

Adaen's creation
A tribe, in the south of the state of Othinia, living in a town called Adean and ruled by Tyton Artkil wanted to create their own state. Tyton Artkil therefore decided to send a request to the Federal Government of the Federation. As the city of Othinia (capital of the state Othinia) was inactive, the Huitcan government accepted and gave the southern west part of lands belonging to the state of Othinia. And from there onwards, the desert of the Southwest, Adaen, was born.

Adaen would later incorporate all of Othinia, the frontier territory and later New Thesub. Veréad Ildaré became Adaen's new Hoxi before being replaced by Roineur Kitsune. It wouldn't take long for Adaen to slowly grow in number until the population suddenly stagnated, but that was seen across the Federation as a whole. Adaen incorporated the territory of Embassy which had become unused by the federal government.

By this time, Konton and Sol had the majority of the Adaen's population, and Sol soon flourished, becoming the beacon for both culture and opportunities of the state but Pikulia which suffered from a lack of populace, yet become hotspots for tourist attractions across the federation on their way south.

Myths
Adaen culture has been greatly influenced by other cultures. This is mostly because of migrations and of the cultural and religious tolerance of Adaen.

The cultural and religious tolerance of Adaen came from Huitca influence and the fact that Adaen was in the past divided between Talawa who praised the sun as a good being who gave life and Ardat who sees the sun as an evil and destructive being who has brought death to the land of ummarnu. Those different points of view who influenced the Adaen ancestor and through them the current Adaen people, forced the Adaen leader to make Adaen a tolerating state in order to avoid total division and death.

What you read above is partially true, but really just a myth made up by Talawan Elves.

The Adaen 'Natives'
The State of Adaen was once apart of the Talawan dominions before Huitca influence came and eventually incorporated the area into simply annexed land in the Federation. However, the folk that lived in this region of Western Ummarnu were in fact Human. Men and woman who had set up small communities in the vast dunes of the land with a very secluded way of life. Although many migrants have come to settle in the lands of Adaen over the last years, it is these people who are considered the 'Natives' of Adaen and serve as the bulk of the current population. What is now known before The Huitca Federation came to own the areas of Adaen and Embassy (Incorporated into the State during Ronieur Era) is very little.

Sol
Archives and old documents of Huitcan Cities mention little in terms to this vastly unexplored area, apart from one reasonably large town known as Sol in the thick of the desert that rests beside the central river. The leader of this community was and is known today as Ginge 'The Pious', the firstborn son of the recently passed 'chief' of Sol who was only just in his teens by the time Sol had opened it's world to the Huitcan Federation. Since then, the small settlement of Sol has grown into a vast City, arguably the largest in the age of the Independent State ruled by Hunter.

Breakwaters Reach
It is to be taken into consideration the significance of Sol, being almost the Capital of Adaen in both Culture and a pure symbol of 'Native' History. However, despite it's standing, there is one other Large town that rests on the Southern Sea along the waters between The Huitca States and the now Lusarii Imperium. Breakwaters Reach origins are not precisely known, but it is safe to assume that whilst Sol attracted the 'Natives' to the North, this settlement was able to rally those who had survived and lived out amongst the southern hills and wasteland. During the age of the Talawan dominance over Ummarnu, the 'Natives' of the village originally referred to the place as 'Caligula', or 'Safe Place' in the Huitcan tounge. Caligula was under the rule of Chief Mustafa Enderious I, whom is praised as owning outstanding leadership skills by the Chronicles, not only kickstarting the town's prosperous journey, but having commanding levied warriors as mercenaries into the Trilium war as well. Since that brief period of conflict, the people that live in Breakwaters are deemed to be enthusiastically patriotic, flying both their Town and State's banners up high amongst their beautiful architecture. It is arguably the most developed down in Adaen, possessing both a growing Library, a Temple to the 'Heroes' of Shallah and much more. Not only that, but the settlement's port is home to the Adaen Fleet, which proudly flies the Orange Stripe and Red Lux Star on its sail. The Current leader of Breakwaters Reach is known as Mustafa Enderious II, whom is said to be 'economically blessed where his father lacked'. After his Father's unexpected death, the newly appointed mayor wasted little time to rename Caligula into something more meaningful to his people, especially now that the recent rapid growth had allowed for the place to expand further into the national stage of Huitcan Adaen. And so it was, the name 'Breakwaters Reach' was chosen, apparently symbolising the Breakwater Bay that they relied so much upon for food and trade. As an influential area of Independent Adaen, Enderious' focuses of progress has seen their construction workers begin building an extensive wall and work on an exciting project of creating the port the most magnificent in Western Ummarnu. Ultimately, the motive could also be deemed to further bring them closer to city status, making it the Second City in Adaen. Praise Shallah.

The Central Tribes
Whilst the State of Adaen is dominated by it's 'Native' population, it is well established that over time - specifically the Ronieur Era - that migrations from the East would lead to communities settling down in the Huitcan State of Adaen. First of all was the Men of Konton, a group of rice farmers and some aristocratic merchants who wondered into the Fertile valley of South East Adaen along the Ardat Mozul Border. Their Guide, Ronieur, had recently been given permission by the Federal Government of Huitca to Start a Colony in the vastly unexplored and unknown lands that the Huitcans owned but didn't use. Though not originally from this land, the Kuurts and The 'Pikulian' Tribe had established reasonably small camps in the grassy wilderness within the Desert Waste. These people would seek local authority on settlement, leading to the creation of the current towns, Dankuurt and Pikulia.

Konton
As Stated above, it is well recognised that it was Ronieur that laid the groundwork of the State of Adaen. Not much information is recorded regarding Hoxi Ronieur's background, yet he was an aristocratic merchant which had led an expedition of the 'Konton' Folk into Ummarnu to start a home for themselves. Yet with caution of not wishing to cause conflict with the nearby Government, Ronieur ended up consulting with Tlatoani Innfinick and the Hoxi Council to be granted a permit to settle a town in these lands. This was enthusiastically granted, as the South West was majorly unknown and 'tribal', so it made sense to have a Federal Foothold within this part of Huitca that could potentially modernise and start up a new State that could grow into a productive and contributing province. With this appointed status, and much gifted land, Ronieur and his followers set to the grassy meadows, where they began hauling timber from the forests. The Konton people were regarded as highly efficient farmers, being very strategic with their choice of fields that usually lied along the network of rivers that flowed through the land. With this planning, construction began and led to the development of their unique build style that was essentially replicas of the homes and infrastructure that the Konton people originally lived in. Their homes were sturdy, flat roofed with white washed walls (Essentially traditional Japanese/Medieval mix Seeing the impressive rate that the now thriving hamlet of Konton was turning into, Ronieur made plans to set himself and a couple of his most trusted construction workers to work on a palace fit for his future rule of the State. But in the mean time, it was apparent that the young Hoxi was truly unfamiliar of his surroundings, and made haste to set out on tour of his domain, escorted by a few riders of Konton that bore the Federation's colours.).

The venture of Hoxi Ronieur Kitsune is pictured with paintings as a righteous quest of unification, riding across the dunes and over fords towards the forests of the northern section of the State. The Kontons then discovered the tribes of Kuurt and Pikulia and brought their folk into the Huitcan fold. It is said that this journey laid out the foundations of the State that was to follow with both chiefs, Cyberflames der Dankuurt and Car Pikulovsky, swearing fealty to him and the banner of the Federation. As the Konton people continued to thrive in their town, their expanded influence over South West Adaen had not gone unnoticed, with the small 'native' garrison of Fort Goliath Surrendering to Ronieur Kitsune to avoid a siege. With continued expansion, the Konton people would be led into uniting the majority of the native land including Sol, signified by the homage of Ginge 'The Pious', leaving the remaindering 'Native' Folk under Federal Government Control in what is recorded as 'The Embassy Area', yet was seeing little to no use by the Government. Seeing this wasted Potential, the Adaen Hoxi had petitioned the Hoxi Council into granting him this territory, despite his lack of knowledge of Mustafa Enderious I living in the land in a pretty much autonomous zone. Nevertheless, the oligarchic council of Huitca had yet again very much willingly granted Roineur this land, expanding the State of Adaen's land to how it's known currently. Breakwaters Reach would also accept the Huitcan banner in order to avoid a costly defence of his territory, with Ronieur granting both 'Native' Towns land to work on.

It was at this moment, despite a relatively low population, that the Kitsune's Dynasty was at its peak. With mass recent support amongst the mayors, and backing from the Federation's Emperor, Roineur's legitimacy as Hoxi remained at that point unchallenged. However, with the mass arrival of the Chalonese people, whom had arrived at the northern shores in Longships, this authority of the Konton people would soon see cracks beggining to form as the power balance had shifted. Whilst the Town of Konton continued to grow, with it's inhabitants having to contribute more to assist the State funding to accomodate the arrival of the Chalonese, it was clear that Ronieur Kitsune's popularity had began to shrink with the inability to deal over a land dispute and increasing pressure of Submssion by the Hoxi of the neighbouring State of Kharakestan. It didn't take long for the Hoxi to realise that rather than have the people of Adaen rise up in opposition, and allowing the Federal Government to intervene, he would let the people of Adaen decide if they wanted him as their leader. The distinguished Mayor Hunter was visibly irritated at the lack of progress and unity under Roinuer, leading to direct Chalonese opposition, and with the folk of Adaen deciding that he was unfit to rule as Hoxi. With this crushing blow to his legitimacy, Ronieur Kitsune offered the Mayor of New Chalon, Hunter of Chalon, the responsibilities as Hoxi, but to his surprise was met with a declination with Hunter Stating again that the people should decide. During this time of political instability, the tired Roineur Kitsune gave a heartfelt speech, explaining of his departure of Adaen and his abandonment of the town that he and his people had created. It is stated that with mutual feelings, and with much whaling, the town was swiftly 'emptied', leaving not a scrap behind as Ronieur stayed only to crown the new Hoxi, Hunter, before setting off with the end to the Kitsune Dynasty and to the Town of Konton. Ronieur was last seen along the Alaar border, leading a convoy of the Konton folk East on a journey that will certainly not be deemed as majestic as the one a few years back. The Settlement of Konton has since been a haven for looters, stripping the homes and temple of whatever was not taken and much of the material used in the construction of homes and farms.
