Irulan

Irulan, officially the Union of Irulan but formerly known as the Irulan Freehold, is a nation native to Eldham made up of people under the tutelage of House Cairtu.The Kingdom of Irulan is a unitary monarchy ruled by Dvusi Godd-Fjell, Bjorn Helvigson and Alphdeim Nevaris.

History
The Cairtus and their followers from the Cairtu Corporation fled from Giedi Prime during the Harkonnens' domination of the nation in the year of 9,980 following a series of noble rebellions. House Cairtu was granted a noble status following its success as a trade company, its trade consisting of about 2.7% of CHOAM’s total wealth in the year 9,968. Following its ascension to nobility, House Cairtu was granted a large fief in the City of Restasin, a minor city consisting mostly of weapon manufacturers and trade storehouses.

Following a civil war attempting to halt House Harkonnen’s harsh rule of Giedi Prime, House Cairtu was forced to flee after the Battle of Endulsha, wherein House Harkonnen won a decisive victory over the rebelling noble families in 9,977. House Harkonnen banished the Cairtu's to the newly discovered collection of land masses "Eldham". House Cairtu was granted a peninsula on Phoros, a large land claim on Eldham with little development, soon after settling, Bugov Cairtu found The Freehold of Irulan.

Freehold of Irulan
Formerly a fief owned by House Cairtu, the Irulan Freehold was reformed into the Union of Irulan with a more bureaucratic and nation-like government. It was ruled by House Cairtu with their family head as the "Arka" of the Union, the supreme source of authority in the Union. The Arka was part of the Arkanate, which included House Cairtu, the Mawazir, The Rais and the Quad. These people are the lawmakers and chief administrators of the primary branches of the Union Government.

The Mahwazir heed s the Council for Union Administration (CUA), whicwas s responsible for the administration of the Union as a whole. The Rais heedds NOME and manades its ventures and direction. The Qayd leed s the Samhiwan, the military of the Union which also offers religious services and sacraments to the Irulani populace. Citizens were given many avenues to participate in the government, primarily though the state-owned Necessary Operations Mercantiles Enterprise (NOME) and the Samhiwan (militant religious order).

The two halves of CUA were the al-Wuzara and the al-Hukkam. Al-Wuzara, consisting of wazirs (sing. wazir), managing the day-to-day affairs of the Union. Al-Hukkam, on the other hand, was made up of chief administrators and governors of directly-controlled and self-governing areas of the Union and was thus consulted less regularly than al-Wuzara. Major issues were generally shared with both halves of CUA by the Arkanate in order to make sure that all constituencies find decisions to be satisfactory and beneficial.

Barbossian Merger
On one fateful day, the capital of The Freehold of Irulan, Cascade, was attacked by foreign invaders. They looted and pillaged the Irulan land as hard as they could. It was clear Irulan needed back up. House Cairtu set their ships sails to Barbossa, close allies and friends of many of the Irulan citizens. Unfortunately the ship never made it. Irulan was defeated at this point, having no backup. Fortunately, the attackers didn't subjugate the Freehold. But not hearing back from the Cairtu's left the nation in shambles. One night they discovered a ship that beached onto the shore of Maud'Dib. The ship was torn in half by something out there. After a deep inspection, it was clear.. This was the SS Cairtu.

With the leaders of the nation missing, the rest of the Irulan government decided they should join another nation as none of them were fit for running a nation in the fierce political landscape Eldham had become. The population held a referendum on what they should do. Ultimately they decided to merge with Barbossa where Irulan became known as the "Crimson Coast".

After a sour turn of events Irulan, the crimson coast of Barbossa wound up in war against Uraka. Known as the Valorant War, this would mark the end of Barbossa. With Uraka defeating the pirates, the Homeland was taken, with plans to annex the rest of Barbossian territory. All hope was lost this dark evening.. Or was it?

Kingdom of Irulan
Irulan soldiers barely escaping death, sailed back to their homeland from the battle. Knowing they had lost the war, they knew any day now Uraka officials would come to their door to enact their government onto them. Duke Bjorn Helvigson being the diplomat he was born to be stitched a treaty with Zamotz and Urak to become vassals for a set time. Officially until the 27th of November they were required to be subject to vassalization. This treaty also guaranteed Irulan sovereignty. From this Irulan reformed into a Kingdom with Duke Bjorn Helvigson, Duke Dvusi Godd-Fjell and Duke Alphdeim Nevaris took the helm, leading Irulan to their glory.
