Valle Deep

Vallia or Valle Deep formally, the Kingdom of Valle deep, is a nation in the north of Rathnir. Valle Deep was established on the isle of Leeps and holds territory and cities on the neighboring Island of Yulara, which was formerly under the control of the Sterling Crownlands and now serves as an UCS duchy under the rule of Queen Gabrielle Spades Cornaro Prolcan

Vallia Is Currently a Monarchy, however after The State has previously had different styles of leadership such as: Dictatorship's run by the military with the current culture still mirroring that past era.

The origin of the Valle people.
The original citizens of Vallia Found the isle of Leeps after the harsh Storms of the Northern Seas shipwrecked them on the island. With the ship forcefully ran aground, the crew quickly organized and built a settlement, and decided the island was going to be their new home. After establishing housing, the old captain declared himself king, and the crew accepted this because of the need for organized leadership. Soon the king learned that the island belonged to the sterling crownlands and forged a plan to gain independence.

Independence and post-independence.
After they settled in the Sterling Crownlands, they thought they had built everything on the island; the Crownlands had done nothing with the land, so why not declare independence, they thought? Soon they formed a militia, they wrote a declaration of Independence, and prepared for the worst. In the end, sterling accepted their declaration of independence and allowed them to live on the island Much To The Suprise of Everyone.

After they gained independence, The King began growing tired of rule because of his people arguing over which direction the kingdom should take. Soon, a group of Vallian citizens which settled the isles known as the "Four Sisters", just north of Leeps, attacked Luperkania and declared independence from Valle. However The King had returned by that point and lead his men in battle, crushing their attempt. During the War The King's Brother Gold Mesa had fallen to the hands of the Rebels Breaking what resolve he had left. The Rebels seeing defeat Would flee with What little Spoils of war they gained and Never be seen again. With His Nation in Ruins From the war and his Brother Dead King Lew_White_Mesa Would Leave The Kingdom And Not be seen Again For Months.

After The King disappeared and his people so slowly they gave up on Valle, but then one day three former military men Took charge Of the abandoned nation and established the triumvirate and revitalized the nation. These Members Were General Irish_Pot8o, LT. Harvvbar And and Clp Deez. They abolished the monarchy and established a three man oligarchy and slowly but surely brought Valle back to life.

First Expansion of Valle.
After the oligarchy took control of the nation, Valle expanded quickly, it incorporated Askonia and took its claims in sand republic territory. Valle also experienced a population boom during this time as many people journeyed to the rising northern nation during a period of uncertainty regarding the sand republics borders Valle seized another sizeable area. The expansion period marked the peaceful end of the oligarchy.

The Vallian Crisis
The reign of Princeps Civitatis Harvbarr was peaceful at first, however greed could overpower the most peaceful of nations and soon the Civitais planned a quick conquest of neighboring Bardonian lands. Although the Civitatis Irish_Pot8o attempted to use diplomacy, his efforts proved to be in vain and eventually his patience ran out and he declared war on Bardonia. The war inspired a wave of patriotism in Valle Leading To the Return of First King Lew_white_mesa Further Boosting Moral, as every citizen wanted to do their part and it seemed Valle was ready for war.

The invasion of Bardonia
On the 25th of April 2021 Vallian forces entered Bardonian lands and began assembling however the invasion was beset with problems immediately Vallian soldiers were quickly spotted by Bardonian forces however that was only a minor issue compared to the event that decided the battle. Civitatis Harvbarr had traveled alone towards the gathering point. However, on the way a Bardonian soldier ambushed and killed him soon after Bardonian forces quickly engaged the Vallian force and slaughtered them during the confusion. In a single battle, Valle lost its leader and much of its citizenry

The Vallian crisis
On the 27th of April 2021 Vallians were shocked and confused when they received the news that King Leo Von Strout and the nation of Caprica had declared war on them out of the blue, although they had confidence in themselves and their allies from Ryzan. On the day of the battle, Vallian forces were quick to prepare makeshift defenses. However, nothing could have prepared for the battle that took place on the 28th of April.

When the battle started Vallian forces were quick to notice multiple known ferrymen bandits among the ranks of the Capricans these bandits twisted the tide of the battle in the favour of the caprican forces. The Vallians and their allies were defeated by the ferrymen and were forced to retreat off the isle of leeps.

The Capricans returned home in order to prepare for a second battle however during their preparations, their king fell ill and died the second battle never happened but it Left Valle in Ruins during the war, its resources were used up or stolen and many died.

The Fall of Valle.
On the 15 of May 2021, The Kingdom of Askonia declared war on a weakened Valle, this war resulted in the annexation of Valle into the Kingdo of Askonia.

First Battle of The Askonian-Vallian War.
The first battle of the war was a small scale battle between two Vallians and 2-3 Askonians/hands.

The small Vallian force held their walls for a short time before they killed and Valle was looted. Although this battle was small, it severally weakened the Valle army because of the loss of equipment.

Second Battle of The Askonian-Vallian War.
The second battle of Valle was the largest battle of the war, which saw Valle and Kato's forces clash with the hands in the city of Luperkania.

The start of the battle started with several small volleys of arrows from the defending Valle and Kato force however shortly after the volleys, the hands made it into the town and soon the battle devolved into chaotic close-quarters fighting. The defending forces soon found it impossible to kill the hands due to them using their tridents to escape and heal each time one of them got low. This resulted in the defenders killing no hands and soon the defenders were all killed. Although several counterattacks were organized, they all failed and Valle was forced to surrender and be annexed into Askonia.

The Vallian Rebellion.
On the 26th of July 2021, a Vallian rebel group which had been preparing an armed insurrection against the Bardonians for weeks were shocked to see a large coalition of rebels and nations had declared war on Bardonia. After a brief discussion, the VAF decided it was their time to rise and took part in the greater rebellion and the attack on New Dorasterrock. After the battle, Valle became an independent nation once again.

The Fleeting Kings.

Soon after Vallia got its independence the title of king was passed between Irish_Pot8o, Harvvbar, and Lorenz66 each holding the nation together until someone new could lead the nation forward into a new era.

The Rebirth of Vallia

September 16, 2021 Crowley_Cornaro joined Vallia with great aspirations and a vision for the nation. With time he rose through the government and proving his worth to finally be made King of the Vallians. Under his rule the nation rebuilt Luperkania and Novia and built Altirk which later became the new capital of Vallia.

Creation Of The Union of Yulara
The creation of the Union of Yulara, otherwise known as The Three Thrones, was a confederation created between Lennox, Hälge And Vallia to protect themselves from the vengeful empire known as Bardonia who had oppressed the 3 states.

Culture of Vallia
The culture of Vallia differs between the original members Of The Military and all those who’ve come since, though both groups have many similarities. The 3rd age being kicked off by Crowley_Cornaro, as he began a campaign of encouragement towards the more martial aspects of the nation's culture, striving for the return of a strong and capable military state.

Mole Madness
The people of Valle have long suffered from a mysterious plague know as "Mole Madness." This plague seems to strike at random, though has been noted to strike the architects and miners more often then others. The plague itself seems to inflict a form psychosis that forces or provokes the host into digging tunnels of varying sizes, shapes, and decorum; seemingly at random, though always linked through some sort of arcane network. The plague's origin, transition methods, and over all effects are currently unknown. Though, It is deemed to be ancient, dating back to around the times of the first settlers of Valle.

The Death of A King
The 12th on January, 2022. King Crowley Cornaro of the Kingdom of Vallia was tragically murdered within his own workshop by pirates. Crowley was working on personal projects in the safety of his workshop, when he heard the door be forcefully opened by an unknown entity. Swiftly, a figure emerged from the door frame, stabbing and killing Crowley. His first born son, Akula Cornaro found his body, lying lifelessly on the workshop floor, with stab wounds through out his body. Akula's heart dropped, and he felt sick to his stomach, as what he was witnessing sunk in. The death of a king, meant the kings first born would be next to take the throne, so within the next week, Akula Cornaro was crowned King of Vallia.

Independence From The Three Thrones.

On the 25/04/22, King Akula Cornaro made the decision to formally leave The Three Thrones to become a vassal of the Arch-Duchy of Borhammar. The decision was made after The Kingdom of Lennox had also been planning to leave TTT in favor of Borhammar, so Vallia made the decision to do the same. There were many reasons to leave TTT, with some being, cultural differences, Borhammar's superior military power, The Vallian King having ties with Borhammar, as well as many believing that The Three Thrones wasn't a good idea anymore, for a variety of reason's.

The Loss of Nighthaven

When king Akula Cornaro made the decision to declare independence from The Three Thrones, the owner of the Vallian town "Nighthaven" as well as the previous owner of Nighthaven made the decision to declare independence from Vallia. With the independence of Nighthaven, the city state of "Lemebah" was formed. This act of treason enraged king Akula Cornaro, as he began stringing together a plan the retake the city state of Lemebah. The leader of Lemebah and owner of Nighthaven "TheBigPeople" informed Akula that Lemebah would remain as a trade stop between Lennox and Vallia. Akula tried to come to an agreement with TheBigPeople, with little luck. Akula would only respect their independence, if Nighthaven was to give Vallia the Nighthaven region of "Novia." This was ultimately denied, and the next move by TheBigPeople is and action that King Akula Cornaro is still angry about today.

TheBigPeople made the decision to sell the town of Nighthaven to player Clokemaster123 (Huskarl420) for an estimated sum of $400,000. At the time, this was an amazing price considering Nighthaven's size. Akula Cornaro had no idea that the town was up for sale until Cloke reached out to Borhammar informing the council that he had recently purchased a town by the name of "Nighthaven," and was forming the Kingdom of Ararin. Ararin proposed an NAP to Borhammar, which was ultimately accepted by the council.

Full Integration Into Borhammar

Vallia stayed as a vassal of Borhammar for almost a full month before deciding to fully integrate into Borhammar as a region. This would be one of the most controversial decisions Akula would make, with many disagreeing with the decision of full integration into Borhammar. Akula claims he was trying to protect his nation, and secure his nations sovereignty. However, the full integration had practically stripped that from them.

On the 1st of July 2022, Borhammar had officially united with The Pirate Empire of Tortuga. The Borhammar treaty stated that if Borhammar intergrate into any other nation, Vallia would follow. This meant that The Kingdom of Vallia was now a region of The Pirate Empire of Tortuga.

The Tortuga-Lorent War

Pirate lord Ulifer declared war on the Lorent, a war that would go down as one of the largest scale battles in history. The Kingdom of Vallia had significant involvement in the war, with Vallia being the head of logistics for the Tortugan military. Vallia supplied an estimated 30 armour sets and 30 swords to Tortuga, with the overall value of supplies that Vallia supplied comes to an estimated value of $540,000, which left head of logistics, AkulaOne1 in a significant loss.

On the day of the war, the Tortugan military, or formally known as "The Pirate Armada" marched into the Lorent capital of Relmont. The battle was long and painful, with Tortuga ultimately losing the war. For Vallia, this meant they were now $540,000 down, and had to now consider going fully independent for the first time in 8 months.

Independence From Tortuga

On the 22nd of August 2022, The Kingdom of Vallia officially declared impendence from Tortuga. This would mark the first time Vallia had been fully independent in over eight months. The decision was made after Tortuga's defeat in the Tortuga-Lorent war. After the Tortuga war, almost the entirety of Tortuga had either been annexed by The Lorent, or had declared independence. Tortuga was growing weak, and so King Akula Cornaro decided to declare his independence from Tortuga with a Full Military Alliance with The Kingdom of Lennox on the 22nd of August 2022.

Population Crisis

Throughout Akula Cornaro's rule, many Yularan nation leaders would notice and comment on Vallia's small population when compared to other Yularan nations such as Lennox, Hälge and Ostia. To many, this made Akula appear as a lazy king who didn't invest time into recruiting. However, Vallia had a population, though the activity numbers are up and down. Many citizens within Vallia are kept to themselves and other Vallians, which creates the illusion that Vallia is no more than a ghost town with only a small government residing there. The nation has spikes in population, with some of those spikes temporarily making the nation the most active on Yulara.

The joining of UCS

On the date 07/03/2023, the maps across the worlds updated with Valle deep now be under the governing rule of UCS (mainly under Lennox as a mere province/duchy.) Akula had agreed to join the United Crowns Of Syltor. The people left in Altirk rejoiced at this decision, now under the protection of a bigger, stronger entity.

The death of Akula Cornaro

In his last days, Akula had repossessed Vallia's war reserves over to the Kingdom of Lennox, knowing his life was withering away. After his death, Gabrielle Spades Cornaro Proclan the 1st Inherited the Kingdom with promises of bringing back population. This left a burden on her shoulders, as she had to live up to Akula's glory. The death of Akula, a leader who had supplied Yulara with an abundance gear throughout history had made such an impact on the subcontinent. A great golden gate named "The Akula Gate" was built in Dragoonia in memorial of his death.

Some of the notable deeds, gestures and achievements King Akula Cornaro was remembered for were:


 * Mass sourcing quality war equipment to The Kingdom of Vallia, The Kingdom of Lennox and The Pirate Empire of Tortuga
 * Mass supplying the Tortugan military with high quality war equipment valued at roughly $540,000 during the Tortuga-Lorent war
 * Qualified Lennoxian-Vallian special forces officer, soldier and trainer (FEET™)
 * Qualified Borhammar/Tortugan military officer and trainer

 * Designing and building pumpkin pie and XP factory, IronTree, as a source of income for Vallia as well as several Lennoxian government members
 * Building strong relationships with the nations of: Lennox, Wivamovia, Borhammar, Tortuga and Daelyria

The New Queen of Valle Deep

With the new queen in the rule of the duchy, Gabbrielle would try to live up to her father, Akula's mighty leading skills. Her first target was the population crisis that had arose in Vallia. Gabbrielle would marry Lucius Prolcan I, who was a skilled leader of the Kingdom of Greater Prolings, and tasked him with helping her to bring back the nation to it's former glory. Both of them would start building with the large amount of building equipment left by either the deceased, or past citizens and residents. With this equipment, they'd start building a market at the center of Altirk.
