Hearthstone Yuldai

"'Strength of Stone, Hearts of Fire'"The Hearthstone Union is a nation nestled in the southwest corner of Rathnir on the continent of Haven, which borders the Kingdom of Aurora, the Union of Haven, the Second Kingdom of Paloro, and the Kingdom of Savernia. It was founded on March 22nd, 2022 when nations of The Kingdom of Boulderov and Sanctuary merged into one, and left the Second Empire of Uldarash, following its collapse and dissolution.

Founding
Because of their shared history, religion, population, and culture, The Kingdom of Boulderov and The Kingdom of Sanctuary had multiple attempts of merging, yet all were unsuccessful. On 12th of March 2022, Queen Joan K. B. Bolodrav of Boulderov and Archmage Thomas of Sanctuary entertained an idea of potential union between the two states and discussed how it would function. Idea of the union was popular among governments of the two states and soon enough on 23rd of March 2022, a day after dissolution of the Second Empire of Uldarash, the Hearthstone Union was officially announced. King Mimek Bolodrav of Boulderov and Queen Scotch Knight of Sanctuary became Ashannu - diarchs of the nation.

Change of name
On 29th of April 2022, Hearthstone Union officially changed its name to Hearthstone Yuldai, meaning "small Uldarash" in Imperial Creole Yuldaras. The Council of Hearthstone decided, that the name Union was not adequate for the nation anymore, since the merging of two kingdoms was very smooth and successful.

The Haven Summit
On 1st of May 2022, amidst the blackstone streets and alleyways in the city of Sanctuary, leaders from all of the nations of Haven gathered for a summit on the continent's affairs. In what turned out to be the most productive meeting since before the collapse of the Second Empire delegates from Hearthstone, the Horde, Kush, the Union of Haven, Aurora, Alokhrad, Rexhold, Paloro, Yaszria, Talawa and Savernia met to discuss the most pressing issues relating to security, defence and the post Uldarash order.

To the surprise of even the most optimistic observers the talks were not only respectful but productive, opening new lines of communication and dialogue to avoid conflict on Rathnir's most populous continent. Haven's future, while still unknown, is certainly bright.

Government
The nation is ruled by two diarchs called Ashannu, and two lesser rulers called Ashan. The ministries are managed by the Grand Minister, and the army is lead by the Marshal.

Ministries
Ministries are managed and lead by the Grand Minister. They are responsible for culture, infrastructure, recruitment, treasury, and other jobs that help the nation grow and prosper.

Dukes of Hearthstone
Dukes rule their respective dutchies, often also ruling the biggest town in the dutchy. They are an important part of the Council of Hearthstone, being allowed to vote on important matters.

Military
Military's structure is based on that of the Second Empire of Uldarash's. It is lead by the Marshal, with help of Generals. Banerrettes are leaders of individual cores, and are commanding Lancers - who are excellent fighters, Couriers - who supply the core during battles, and Armets - who's job is to survive as long as possible while Lancers do all the killing.

Geography
Hearthstone Union is split into six separate lands, some being on other continents, or even worlds.

Rathnir
Most of Hearthstone's Union land lies on this world, mainly on the continent of Haven.

Boulderov
The biggest land being the former mainland of The Kingdom of Boulderov, that is nested in the southwest corner of the continent of Haven. It is mountainous, with large taiga and regular forests. In its center is Lake Rochosa, that divides the land in two. The land is bordered by Grandnova Sea to east, and impassable terrain (world border) to south and west, and large mountains to north, making it well protected. It has a small connection to the Heart of Haven.

Sanctuary
The second biggest land is where the former The Kingdom of Sanctuary was. It is located in the middle of Haven, has large mountains, and has sparse forests. The terrain in the center of the land makes it difficult to traverse, so it was chosen as a place where the capital, Sanctuary, was built. It has a large coastline with the Heart of Haven, connecting it to the Boulderov land.

Aleeous
A small land can be found east of Boulderov. Aleeous barely has any forests, mostly consisting of the plains biome. It has a small connection to the Grandnova sea to the west, and borders a massive jungle to the east.

After Falconael abandoned his position as the Duke of Aleeous, it fell under the jurisdiction of Patria.

Bolodravoha
Land of the Holy Boulder, located in the northwest corner of the continent of Syltör. It is one big forest, with a river running through it. The terrain is quite hilly, but has no other noteworthy characteristics.

Eldham
Hearthstone Union has few lands in the new world.

New Sanctuary
An island of medium size, located in the far west part of Elastra. Half of it is a city, with the other being a desert. It is surrounded by a deep, cold ocean. It officially belongs to Northstar.

Pedrera
It is located on an island in the eastern part of Katsura. It is made out of two island, and despite their small size they have multiple biomes on them: a small forest, a mountainous jungle, and a tiny swamp. The two islands are divided by a river.
