Cluckonic Order
The Ducks first joined around Thanksgiving of 2020. They established the holy order on the south end of Vastallos where they found vast gold deposits under the plains. Within a week they had made good relations with the neighboring nation of Griffinview who was in the VAWR, which was the first and only other nation to convert to the Ducks' faith.

Later, an envoy of Carvay would come representing the VAWR with an ultimatum: to join or die. So, despite the unpopularity of the decision in the Cluckonic Council they did. Joining the VAWR ended up reaping great benefits. They were given the Holy City of Stensta (Which of course, was ordained by The Might Cluck).

From that point on they became pretty inactive on the global stage, they stayed pretty isolated except for sporadic attempts to convert foreigners. The culture of the Ducks went disappearing over time, giving birth to new ones (which were also heavily influenced by Carvay and Asturcia) that would eventually form the modern Dracadian culture.

Carvaian/Ombrian statehood
As the region around Spirehold (Dragospiro’s ancient name) became part of Carvay, nothing relevant happened except for some renovation of the buildings that once belonged to the Cluckonic Order.

It was when Andre Ramo became Savii of the state of Dragospiro that things started to change, especially by massively focusing on improving the High City (which was actually the only city at the time), making it very similar to how it is today. With Landy becoming Signoria of the newborn state of Dracade (which comes from Drago Cade, Falling Dragon), great efforts were put into expanding Dragospiro towards the east, in the valley where there was much unused space. This is when the Low City was planned and the Maiden Bay Harbor was built.

A period of inactivity followed, with Dracade being kept alive by Savii Salamundi, while it merged with Fruila (the carvaian name of Trollgard) for a while because of the lack of citizens.

Independence and South Vastallos
With the Shattering of Carvay there was an initial moment of disorder and confusion in Dracade as the independence was something they hadn't experienced in a long time. That is when Savii Salamundi and Landy Ethymios took some time and invented the Dragonate, the distinctive electocratic form of government of Dracade. The first elections saw Ethymios become Dragone with an initial number of 3 total Delegati, Hugzo and Marfius, later expanded to 5.

This first period of independence saw an incredible growth and prosperity in Dracade, making it among the most powerful Vastallosi states. This wealth was increased even more by the vassallization of Carvay through the Treaty of Succession that saw Andre nominated Doge of Carvay. Subsequently the Federation of South Vastallos was formed with its states being Dracade, Asturcia and Carvay.
