Yavanistan

Yavanarad is a small town made by SimpleKnight888 that is located in the northern parts of the Tortugan Dominion.

Yavanya
On September 4th, after leaving the town of Hidden Valley of Avaria, SimpleKnight decided to settle in a mountain that was located between Hirfarum and the cubist monks. The Yavani settler began to construct the town hall, the farms and the mine. Unfortunately on September 6th, he received an ultimatum to leave the land. Outnumbered and outgeared, he agree to leave the area peacefully, while the Hirfarum King paid him 10K$ and offered him a shulker box to put his blocks inside for his next settlement. He also called Yavanya as an ally of the Tempest Dwarves. The things that were left behind were the glass panes, the road, the pumpkin farm and the mine. After that he became a nomad, mining resources everywhere he went.

The Yavani's return-Establishment of Yavanarad
On September 13th he received an offer to return to the mountains, which were all bought by the Dwarf King. He was allowed to stay, with the condition that Hirfarum members would be allowed to mine in his lands. He was also allowed to be a "citizen" of Hirfarum.

A couple of days later, construction of the town began. Within 3 days, a portion of the town's outer walls and a farm area were built. The first member joined on September 16th, and helped immensely in the construction and the growth of the town. Town hall was complete and houses for the 2 inhabitants were made.

Cyrumar's Return
On September 21st, the king of Cyrumar claimed to have returned to his homeland, Geradith, which was griefed by Envyists. Yavanistani Landlord offered help removing the grief, but these griefings were swiftly undone by an admin instead. Cyrumar and Tortuga both have plans for the location. The Hirfarum King claimed to be a Tortugan and had the Tortugan Town Owner & the Captain status, but suddenly decided to declare independence, without notifying Yavanarat. When the Yavanistani Landlord learned this, he became upset, as he thought that this was a move that could make the region a warzone. Tortuga threatened both Hirfarum and Cyrumar with war if the region was to become separate from their land. On September 22nd, Hirfarum king was banned and Jack_O_Ween took his place. The old king urged SimpleKnight to separate Yavanarad from Hirfarum and so he did. The very same day, Yavanarad declared independence and became a part of Tortuga. Thus, Yavanarad got incorporated in the dutchy of Nair and is now recognised as Town Owner of the Tortugan Dominion.

The Golden day of Recruitment


On 9th of October, the Yavanistani Landlord managed to recruit 4 new members, 1 accepted to become a soldier and the other 3 helped immensely with building. The city was more active then never before, thus drawing the attention of the nearby Nair citizens. Pineappleguy and Men2021 helped by completing the farms, renovating the house they were given and constructing a stable in the unused town's area. _MrChupa also helped decorating the nether portal and constrcting a small Library. TheSquinter volunteered to join the town's military.

Lake incident
On late October, a tombstone was found near the lagoon on top of the fishing platform made by TheSquinter. The Yavanistani landlord asked his citizens if they know something about the murder. Hirfarum and High_Hermitage leaders were also asked if they knew something, but they didn't know either. This event was eventually shrugged off.

Missing horse incident
On 30th October 2021 a citizen by the name of Tenzinglion was accused of taking a horse without the landlord's consent. The next day, SimpleKnight noticed the horse's dissapearance and asked if any of the citizens knew anything about the theft. The horse was eventually found and the citizen got evicted.

Duchy's Unification period- Revival of the towns of yore
Thanks to Yavanarad's efforts, after Neo-Atridia came to be, a few more ghost-towns followed, such as Equilibrium (renamed to Brium), and East-City. This formed a strong relation between the Town Leaders and revived the whole Duchy, as new roads were built and important discussions were held. It was at that time that the Yavani Leader was promoted to the regent of the Duchy.

The Kingdom of Nair
After the Leader of Tortuga, TheSexyCanadian left the server for good, the new Leader, Sandi, offered independence to the ones who wanted it. So, Loria, Borhammar and Nair ended up obtaining independence. Kivikallo was the King of Nair and due to his activity, SimpleKnight managed to obtain Regent status.

2nd Lionorian Revolt
The King of Lionore, SamkingYT, wanted to make a nation of his own and so decided to declare independence. A coaltion of Nairian and Tortugan soldiers were formed under the leadership of Ulifer. People from other nations joined the Counter-revolutionaries as well. The Nairians were tasked to protect the capital of Nair, while the rest of the Coalition marched to Lionore and it's fort. Seeing that the opponents were vastly outnumbered ant outgeared, the Nairians proceeded to march to the fort as well. SimpleKnight killed the remaining defenders and pillaged some of the chests. After the war, Samking and it's helpers were expelled from the GUA.

Golden Union of Rithann (or simply Rithann)
After Neoz's Akratia proceeded to insult the neighboring leaders of Borhammar and Tortuga and calling them "squatters", they received an ultimatum to abandon the peninsula. This caused Neoz to retire, with Legalillegaldoc becoming the new Akratian leader. He and his people were forced to abandon the peninsula, exept from the Emerald Islanders, with the leadership of ElitePlayerYT. This caused tensions between Tortuga and Neoz's Akratia to rise and eventually Tortuga declared war on them on January 30th, which they evaded.

Claim expansion
On February 2nd, the claim of Yavanarad expanded to the north and included the "Trek Ferer" (Kai-Chakra fort) and the Tarneosi tower. The newly claimed northern part of the claims however was quite a mess, having old ruins and lava casts. The Yavani leader proceeded to clear the area with the help of Aco_e within 1 day.

Nair
Yavanistani Landlord met an ambassador from the city of Nair at September 18th and the two offered gifts to each other. They also made an alliance. On October 1st, Nair Captain agreed on making roads that connect the two towns. Currently, Yavanarad is under the jurisdiction of the Nair captain. As the Yavani leader helped revive most of the towns, he and Kivikallo became good friends. When the region gained independence, the Nairian leader promoted SimpleKnight to Regent. But he lost the rank and the ownership of the town when he took part in the peaceful town owners revolt. However he was pardoned and allowed to stay. Kivikallo even offered the town owner rank, which SimpleKnight initially refused, for there was time for the next dynasty to rule. The two fought side by side durinng the 2nd Lionorian revolt and were victorious. After the war, SimpleKnight finally accepted the town owner rank offer.

Hirfarum
The events that occured between the Hirfarum King and the Yavanistani Landlord had made the two form a strong alliance, as they engaged frequenly on geopolitical discussions. That is until they declared independence from Tortuga and attempted to join Cyrumar instead. The new Hirfarum King proved to be a puppet of Cyrumar politics, thus the new King was no longer welcome in the Yavanistani Lands. Hirfarum got engulfed by High Hermitage and thus some "illegal" claims were lost.

The Mossastary (BoggleBoiTwitch)
The Mossastary was established on May 2021 and was a small area, claiming only 4 chunks. But these chunks existed in the land given to the Yavanistanis by Hirfarum. On September 14th, the Yavanistani Landlord gave the Mossastary an ultimatum until September 21st and requested for negotiations. Unfortunately the owner was inactive, thus the ultimatum is unnoticed and the deadline extended. On September 19th, the two negotiated and BoggleBoiTwitch renounced his claims and joined the city of Borhammar. The landlord offered 5k$ as compensation.

Cyrumar
Cyrumar King first visited the town in September 21st and until then Cyrumar and Yavanistani relations were neutral. That is until they showed their real intentions. They wanted to expand and Include the Nair Mountains into their region, but their plans were thwarted when they got conquered by Tulipia, having their city renamed to Waldblume.

Lionore
Lionore was mostly abandoned until Buddha419 appointed samkingYT on September 24th as owner of the Town. From that point on, the city was incorporated on the Duchy of Nair, thus Yavano-Lionorian diplomatic relations commenced. Both the towns' leaders had good relations with each other and have frequently visited each other's towns, until the 2nd Lionorian Revolt. Now with the change of leadership.

Borhammar
Diplomatic relations commenced at 21st of September when Borhammar Town owner visited Yavanarad. It was about that time that Yavanarad was recognised as an official Tortugan town. Both town owners have friendly relations and have also been allies during the 2nd Lionorian Revolt.

Hinomir
Historical ties with Hinomir are very old, as the Yavanistani Landlord went to the town as a refugee. He helped with the town's tower construction and road construction. He was also recently recruited to help build the town's walls and he managed to do so at a fast pace. Almost 55% of the Hinomir's walls were constructed by Yavanistani builders.

Religion
One of the town's citizens, NoticedTerror15, proposed to make a new religion called "Metalliscism" and asked permission to build a temple. The permission was granted, however the religious leader was not satisfied that the Landlord didn't make it as an official religion of the town, so he decided to leave the town and make a city of his own. He ended up leaving at 2nd of October, claiming the old church at the ruins of Atridia, thus creating New Atridia. However, some citizens of the town still identify themselves as metalliscists today.

On October 4th 2021 another new religion was born by Prophet JedHummus who established his roots at Yavanarad making it the first city to accept his presence and his religion and therefore establishing Herobrinism as the native religion of Yavanarad therefore Herobrinism established it's roots and develop there. Once again, however, Herobrinism wasn't made as the national or official religion.

Citizens
Currently there are 13 citizens: SimpleKnight888, ItzSooza, PeakBoat, Fleriua, Razorblade_x, JedHummus, id0g22, CyanColada, QuadDoubloon462, TheSquinter, _MrChupa and Aboibtw
