Daelyrian-Najer Union

The Daelyrian-Najer Union was a dual monarchy comprised of the High Kingdom of Daelyria and the Emirate of Najer. It was established on January 21 2023, and was peacefully dissolved on February 14 the same year.

Pre-Union
The origin of the union can be traced all the way back to the Kingdom of Mithra and the Sapphire Commonwealth. In addition to the two nations being the first expressions of national and international northern unity, the two countries interacted often throughout their twilight years, with the Sapphire Commonwealth briefly incorporating the Mithran Helmian land until the Mithran-Dandelion War.

Shivareh Basha was integral in furthering Daelyrian-Najer relationships, retaining constant contact with them all throughout the Mithran Winter, through the Helmian Federation and the Dominate of Domus, and beyond. This helped to lay the foundation for contact in future generations, with Najer and the eventual Second High Kingdom of Daelyria gaining many dual citizens and hosting a number of international events. Throughout the decades, the two nations grew closer and closer.

Eventually, the topic of a Northern Union was brought up to the leaders of several nations, including Najer, Daelyria, and the Republic of Alamayn. In the ensuing debates, the leaders of the three nations planned to form a successor to the Sterling Crownlands. Initially, it went smoothly, but due to political influences and the obligations of their vassalship to Drackar, Alamayn was forced to drop out. Najer and Daelyria continued, and eventually the Union was born, announced on the 21st of January.

Tragically, due to preexisting political circumstances, namely the Plagatean raids of Najer coasts and Daelyria's alliance with Lunaris (Plagatea's steadfast ally) meant that the two nations were in an untenable position with their contrasting relationships. To alleviate the diplomatic tension, the leaders of Najer and Daelyria chose to dissolve the union after only three years.
