Empire of the Scarlet Islands

''As of 11-16-2021, the Empire of the Scarlet Islands has joined Aurlûnor Velande. The notebook page will keep being updated involving stuff that happens within the old land boundaries of the Empire of the Scarlet Islands.''

The Empire of the Scarlet Islands was an empire ruled by RiskyFisk.

Location
The Empire of the Scarlet Islands was located inside of an extreme hills biome that was also mixed with small islands. They bordered Aurlûnor Velande and the Huitica Federation. Their land has been ruled by many other countries, including the now fallen Viridian. The borders were disputed by the Aurlûnor Velande due to their position as a "Barbaric Squatter Nation".

Legends
The Empire of the Scarlet Islands is on what is known to the people that live there as the area where the Phoenix lives. Millions of years ago a phoenix entered the universe in the very spot that the capitol city Scarlet Isle sits on. This disturbed the universe around the entry point, so when the world of rathnir formed, the disturbed area became an extreme hills biome with steep ledges, floating islands, cliffs, mountains, deep trenches, caves, and more. The people who live on the islands say that the phoenix is still in the universe and that if the walls around the Empire of the Scarlet Islands were ever to fall down, and the capitol city be invaded, then the phoenix would awaken and burn all the new inhabitants of the islands, and take the people who worshiped the phoenix to another universe.

Flag
The flag that the Empire of the Scarlet Islands use has more meanings than it may seem, everything on it represents something that is close to the people of the Scarlet Islands. The yellow represents fire that the phoenix brings, the black represents the hole to the other universe that the phoenix used, the dove represents peace, the campfire represents warmth, comfort, and happiness on the islands, the hatchets represent strength, and the phoenix is on the flag because that is what the people of the Scarlet Islands worship and what they protect.

Military
The Empire of the Scarlet Islands does not have a large military due to the fact that they are a neutral nation. Infact, they do not have ANY established military, but the people of the Scarlet Islands are great builders, and they have useful techniques incase of war. They know how to build traps, defenses, and how to stay safe from attackers. They also have large advantages in terms of defense from other nations since they live on the tops of hard to reach mountains. If any country did try to attack, the Scarlet Islands are an almost impossible place to invade because of their geography and large scale defenses. Rumor states that the Empire of the Scarlet Islands can never actually be successfully invaded and conquered because of all the secrets and techniques that the Scarlet Islands hold. Their capitol city, Scarlet Isle, is very well protected, from archers towers to huge walls. The capitol city is also almost only accessible by boat, so it is hard to bring an army to attack or to find a strategic attacking point.

Settlements
Currently there is only 1 settlement on the Scarlet Islands, which is the capitol city of Scarlet Isle. The area that the Scarlet Islands are situated in is very small, so it might stay that way for awhile.

Founding
The Empire of the Scarlet Islands was officially founded on 11-15-2021, although the capitol city had been on the islands for a few days before that. It was made when a new player at the time, RiskyFisk, joined the game. He ventured through the lands to find what he thought at the time was an island. Later on, he found out that the place he had settled was actually a part of Aurlûnor Velande. RiskyFisk did not want to join them, so instead he decided to create the independent nation of the Empire of the Scarlet Islands.
