Umbrium

Umbrium is a small island located in south-east Haven near the border. The city is surrounded by Azryal.

Pre-History
The begining of Umbrium dates back to Ca. 50 AJC when it was first settled by The Trafalgans. At that time not much was done but a small colony estabilished themselves there. The population slowly dwindled as newer generations looked for opportunities on the mainland. There were almost no people left, then the pirates showed up and drove out the remaining population.

Ca.130 AJC: Umbrium became a lawless land and home for the Reaper Federation. The Reaper Federation was a group of pirates and mercenaries who pillaged and killed the surrounding area, until there was nothing left. There was nothing more for the Reaper Federation, they left for richer lands and never looked back.

Aetherian colonisation
At around Ca. 170 AJC the Aetherians were driven out of their homeland of Umbria.

Some seeked refuge in the island kingdom of Daeko-Kiannia, uniting with their ancestors. Others went beyond hoping to find new land to settle in themselves, and at the edge of the world they found Umbrium. These Aetherians developed a unique which was a subsection of ethnic Aetherians called Kuljals. They reformed Umbrium from the pirate base into a home of their own, cleaning it up andtearing down the ominous black pirate towers.

Conflict with Savernia
Ca. 200 AJC

Aetherians started settling in Umbrium with Athi becoming the mayor (At'). But they were not the only people that wanted to claim that land. Savernians claimed the second island that originally was part of Umbrium. They started surrounding Kuljals. That resulted in big tensions between two nations that almost turned into a war.However Savernians decided to unclaim lands surrounding Umbrium and the conflict ended.

Pawel reign
At 214.5 TE (8th year in kutaiyaran calendar) .The island was bought by Kutaiyaran goverment in objective to gain more lands. Since then Pawel became the mayor.

During his reign Umbrium came into the  golden age of it's history. Many citizens arrived. New buildings were built. Umbrium became one of the fastest growing city in Haven. At that time the island became very known and was visited by many famous people including former emperors of Bardonia. With the arrival of kutaiyarans to Umbrium, kuljal culture started slowly dissapearing( although some words from umbrium dialect of kutayo were influenced by kuljal language) and was replaced with kutaiyaran culture.

Greg aparition
At (8 year of ceoquet month in kutaiyaran calendar) mayor of Umbrium, Pawel was building walls for his town. When he was doing that the lighting struck. He was not paying attention to it but then lighting hit again, and again. And then army of skeleton horses and skeletons spawned. This made Pawel think what could cause that pheonmenon. And then he thought about new church in his city of a new religion called gregianity, where god of followers of their religion stayed. He was thinking about that and realized that event couldn't be random and was caused by god of gregianity-  Greg . This event greatly influenced Pawel's views and made him convert to gregianity. A bit after he made it town's religion. Gregianity greatly inflenced the shape of   Umbrium religious traditions and culture.

First coup
Arrival of many new people to the Umbrium caused massive population growth but also made city a bit less stable. One of island's citizens, aggressive, in order to become the mayor began to organise a coup against Pawel. Leader of umbrium discovered the plot and punished him.

Second coup
Local religion started gaining more and more followers but at the same time there was growing opposition to a new belief. Some kutaiyaran citizens created terrorist organisation ( members of that were called anti-gregs) in order to erase gregianity and make Umbrium secular town. Anti-gregs were preparing for the revolution and started inviting various people to their group. And in they decided the date of the revolution. Plan:

- anti gregs were supposed to start the  protest 

-later they would weild their weapons and overthrow Pawel But the plan was discovered and members of that organisation were punished(some of Solyran gov members were engaged in that revolution, it caused some tensions on the line between Kutaiyara-Solyra relations but the situation was later explained and resulted in Solyrans stopping supporting the coup)

Militia creation
One of the members of anti-Greg movement, Dan-follower of oliver at the end of gregianity ritual killed Greg followers attending the event. Although told multiple times by chancellor to stop the genocoide, he didn't. Since he earlier commited multiple crimes against that religion Dan was punished heavily this time. That proved that Umbrium was not a safe city during events. This gave Pawel an idea to create the militia. It was supposed to secure citizens during events. A bit after that situation, Umbrium got permission from chancellor to create it' s own militia with mayor becoming the leader. Army could also raid Dan when he commited the crime.

Fourth coup
A few weeks passed. There was an argument between some  Greg  followers that caused some of them split from official church. Aggresive again used these anti-greg attitude to turn population against mayor to overthrow him. That time members of anti-Greg movement asked foreign entities for help in the coup (Aetheria and Zefrania).Also they tried to get  Greg  followers into that. Aggresive created his own army discord that recruit soldiers and train them to prepare for military intervention. The coup was again discovered. But his discord ownership was handled to Pawel and was later used for militia. Also umbrium senate wanted to solve the problem of coups by giving aggresive position of officer of the army, which they did.

Civil war
It happened in (12 year ceoquet of kutaiyaran calendar). Pawel and lmiks were building in Umbrium. Some day Dan, leader of anti-greg movement, came to the town. He murdered the mayor. That's why militia was called to come and kill Dan. Soldiers began rallying at New_Tichmorok. When Dan found out that good fighters are going after him he started hiding. Militia members were waiting for an order to attack. When his location was revealed they came to Umbrium to kill him.

Doms

A bit after one of the kutaiyaran citizens, CrinklySeal engaged in battle on Dan's side. Situation started changing fastly. Doms betrayed militia and turned against them too. The Conflict was obviously anti-greg since Dan, CrinklySeal were screaming anti-gregianity statements like: ,,Death to Gregs! '' . At that point Pawel (he was pope of gregianity at that time) decided to organise a crusade against them. He called followers to stand with him against people manipulated by Oliver as he believed. Nullarian Greg follower TheGamingActor came to help but as he said he heard strange voices in his head to turn against Greg ,which he did.

The fight was lost by Militia members. Anti-gregs came to New_Tichmorok to Dan's house. Militia reorganised and decided to strike back. After some fights in his house Pawel's forces started to lose and the battle ended. Soon after that event Umbrium mayor set a KOS for anti-gregs involved in those events. This began the dangerous civil war between these two factions. But the conflict ended because Ashai declared war on Dara-Lumonde

Fifth coup
A few days passed and the next ocassion of couping Pawel arrived to aggresive. Since ani-greg opposition was good equiped he decided to change sides and side with CrinklySeal. He created a war claim next to Umbrium and started inviting people from other parts of rathnir. Some mercenaries were hired. Mayor of Umbrium was outnumbered by them and killed. The battle was lost by the mayor. But after some consultations with anti-gregs he managed to convince them to stop supporting aggresive in his political goals.

Other coups were not a threat to the Umbrium thats why anti-gregs were not punished really harsh. But this was one of the first well-organised military operations. Thats why umbrium citizens in organising that military operation were treated harshly.

Aggresive was kicked from kutaiyara and his stuff was confiscated by umbrium goverment

CrinklySeal was temporaily untrusted from New_Tichmorok (the only kutaiyaran claim she had access to) as a warning to not help in revolutions again.

A few months after it turned out that CrinklySeal was a spy working for Zefranian goverment.

Reunification of Umbrium
In after months of split between two former islands Pawel saw an occasion and occupied the second island proclaiming reunification of Umbrium islands. But after 1 day Pawel was forced to give island back.

Abdication and ranix-cz reign
In Pawel decided to abdicate after a long 62 years reign. The next mayor became ranix_cz but he quickly stepped down from the position.

At that point Pawel was selected to be temporary mayor until the next candidate shows up.

Mecha reign
In the player named mecha was selected by Pawel to become the mayor of Umbrium. The new person did not get good greeting from city's citizens since he was aetherian and citizens had bad history with that nation. During his reign he organised event and recruited some citizens.

Estabilishment of HEU
Umbrium had two main builders at that time-WotanTheWrakjon and l1mikks(Begula) they had their own areas where they were building houses in their styles. This caused some distinction between western nad eastern umbrium in looks and religiosity. Western district was the place where church was situated and sacred places of gregianity. This gave an idea to some gregianity priests to give more autonomy to that area and install theocratic goverment here. Umbrium as a whole would have pope as a ceremonial figurehead with mecha being still in the power as Reverend Steward. Pope of gregianity (Pawel) was uncertain about that idea but he finnally decided to approve that when the plan was supported by majority of Umbrium citizens.

Mecha was later asked to install theocratic goverment and give more autonomy to western district, which he agreed on. But later he changed his mind and along with some other gregianity followers joined anti-greg MAGP party as a sign of protest.

Mecha resignation and Pawel's reign
In Mecha resignated from being the mayor and Pawel was again appointed as leader of Umbrium.

Evolution of Umbrium political system
First informations about umbrium political system is known since reign of kuljals. During athi's reign first constitution was created. According to that act of law Umbrium goverment had Leader (At') and The Senate. The Senate was created from 4 departaments that had separate objectives like recruiting, culture or foreign affairs. Senator position was permament. After kutaiyara bought that island Umbrium was no longer a nation so some laws stopped working, although town got some sort of autonomy. With Pawel coming to power requirements necessary to become the senator were a bit changed. The new At' of Umbrium passed the law that obliged people who wanted to become goverment members to recruit certain amount of people to be able to rank up. Although candidates were recruiting to become senators ,they didn't recruit the set quota so anybody of them ranked up. That caused Pawel to reduce number of possible permament senators from 3 to 2 in order to make 1 position electable in monthly elections.Along with the time passing, the rules were lossened again and there were no avaible permament senator spots anymore (there was only 1 senator with permament position). Since then all senator positions are electable in the elections and number of departaments was reduced to three.
