Lutian

Lutian, officially the Kingdom of Lutian, is a kingdom in The United Crowns of Syltör, located in Nieden and Plagos.

Early history
In, then named Jostepher Stephan bought the island of Solnostan located in the Silver Sea, which was later renamed to HeroldsBurg. Because of the looming threat of other bigger nations in the area HeroldsBurg decided to look for allies. So in, the Treaty of the vassalisation of HeroldsBurg into the Kingdom of Arcan was signed, which marked the beginning of Arcan-Lutian relations.

Nationhood and territorial disputes
After being vassalized by Arcan, the town of HeroldsBurg proclaimed the nation of Lutian with Jostepher von HeroldsBurg as its leader. The land that they had obtained was falsely sold to them and its actual owner the Theivocracy of Charm was disputing Lutian´s claim. After nearly going to war both sides settled and arranged an agreement to solve the issue.

In, the MIC went into an agreement with Lutian. Not many details about this integration have been released and it is still an ongoing project for both sides.

As Lutian was increasingly getting stronger, Shania, one of Lutian´s neighbours, was increasingly getting afraid of the duchy. So they joined the nation of Ultima and convinced them to go to war with Lutian. After realizing what was going on Emperor of the Northern Crowns managed to deescalate the situation and preventing a military conflict.

"'Shall Lutian and her people ever prosper, ANVAAR!' -His Majesty, King Jostepher von Heroldsburg-Constantine, King of Lutian and Arcan."

Devassalisation
In, the King of Arcan, Twisty Constantine decided to abdicate his throne. He adopted and named the then Duke of Lutian, Jostepher von HeroldsBurg as his heir and grandson. After succeeding, King Jostepher von Constatine-HeroldsBurg established the Kingdom of Lutian and moved the capital from Arcan to HeroldsBurg. Arcan was soon integrated into the kingdom as a province while its high council was official disbanded. Soon, a new high council was soon established in Heroldsburg to aid the King in running his realm while a regional council consisting of former members of Arcan's high council was established to rule Arcan.

This marked the beginning of a new era to Lutian as an independent state. A new era of prosperity.

"'When you give a child too much hope, they think they rule the world,' -Selevern Windstorn, President of The HeroldsBurg Times."

Confrontation with Kartek Fjellheim
In, the Kingdom of Lutian welcomed a new addition to their nation, the island town of Southland, a newly established town by the player Janel after buying the islands from the Empire of Kartek Fjellheim for 100k. This marked the first expansion of territory for the Kingdom since its establishment.

However this joyous occasion was short lived as a very angry letter from the Emperor of Kartek Fjellhein, General Ich made its way to King Jostepher's hands. In the letter, the emperor threatened to declare war on Lutian due to the illegal claim of Southland on Kartek Fjellheim's territory. It was later discovered that Janel didn't actually buy the land from Kartek Fjellhein and had just claimed the islands illegally. To avoid war, Lutian had to delete the claim of Southland and had to repay Kartek Fjellhein 100k. Lutian wasn't willing to pay for the mistakes of one of its citizen so tried to negotiate with Kartek Fjellhein. However, General Ich wanted none of it so he moved for immediete declaration of war.

Fortunately, the war was delayed due to the timely holidays truce declared by the international committee. Thus, time was given for the King of Lutian to negotiate a peace treaty to avoid war. Finally, a deal was agreed upon, which Lutian agreed to throw out the town of Southland from the kingdom and Janel would take full responsibility for his actions and would accept any reparations due to his town.

"'It only took us 30 seconds,'-Peptypowers, Mayor of Arcan"

The 30 seconds Revolution
"'Where would you stand in the war against tyranny, king or freedom?' -Janel of Southland, traitor of the people"

Prelude
After the Southland incident, Janel was humiliated and disgraced. He lost all of his power and influence in a day, and he certainly didn't have the money to pay the reparations demanded from Kartek Fjellheim. So he tried to introduce democratic reform to the Kingdom of Lutian in attempt to gain leadership over the nation, which would repair his reputation and he could drain the nation's treasury to pay his debts. This was rejected by the King of Lutian and his high council.

In crippling debt and having his reforms rejected, Janel decided his only choice was a bloody revolution. Quickly, he approached known rebels and political activists to create a united revolutionary front. In, joined by the communist revolutionary Commie Squisher, a leader of a communist rebel cell in St. Prataburg and theocrat ibrahimmusa_10, a self-proclaimed prophet, Janel formed the Democratic Communist Party of Lutian which mission was to abolish the Heroldsburg-Constantine dynasty and replace it with a constitutional monarchy which king was Janel. Soon new members were recruited into the party, the party struck a chord with many influential members in Lutian's government and outside. Those recruited included, Peptypowers, governor of Arcan, Miika Yutomo and Selevern Windstorn, regional councilors of Lutian and Brave a well known mercenary leader. With the addition of these influential figures, Janel gained confidence in his revolution so in the same season on the illegal claim of Southland, Janel of Southland stood on top his mayor house's balcony and declared the formation of the Democratic Republic of Lutian with Southland as its temporary capital. A civil war has begun, one with the toll of many souls.

"'They seriously thought they could kill US,' -starlord332, high councilor of Lutian, after the raid on Heroldsburg."

Raid on HeroldsBurg
In, a raid planned by Brave and his mercenary group with the consultation of Janel commenced on HeroldsBurg in an attempt to sack the capital and coup the government before any actual fighting began. Their targets were the palace of the king, houses of high councilors and the headquarters of The HeroldsBurg Times. They first lay sieged on the King's palace in an attempt to force the king to abdicate his throne. An assault into the palace was planned but they were held up in the front door when the King stalled the offensive and killed some mercenaries on his own. The siege was quickly broken when royalist militia from HeroldsBurg and the Army of Lutian led by General Noel Der Aller Echte routed the mercenaries' and killed them. All but one survived and escaped HeroldsBurg without any of the supplies they brought for a drawn out battle. The high amount of casualties and loss of precious supply from the raid severely limited any other planned military operations against the capital. Thus putting the capital safe from any further attacks.

"We were outnumbered, but they were out skilled," -.His Majesty, King Jostepher von Heroldsburg-Constantine, King of Lutian and Arcan.

Bloody Saturday
In, a secret meeting was scheduled at the town center of Arcan to discuss a coordinated assault to "take over" Arcan and her resources without outing Pepty Powers as a traitor while keeping him as a spy in the Lutianian Government. In the dead of night, the revolutionaries crept though the walls of Arcan to the designated meeting spot. But once most of the revolution's leadership only short of the Governor of Arcan himself and the two regional councilors who were off on a diplomatic mission elsewhere, the Army of Lutian arrived at the town's square led by General Noel and Governor Pepty. The leadership realizing the danger they were in tried to flee the scene but they were quickly cut down by the army with only a few members on the revolution's leadership managed to slip out. The revolution's leadership lost 7 out of its 9 leaders that attended, 6 executed and 1 captured. The fallen leaders' heads were then mounted on pikes on top of the front gates of Arcan to act as a deterrent of future revolutions and rebellion.
