Hallandren

Hallandren is a nation in Kanahulu led by Queen K’aiza Taurath. It composes of six main claims with its capital being Hallangrad on the island land mass of Stechpalme, not including overseas territories and vassals. It was a member of the dissolved Northern Pact and now is also a member of the Migeru Shiyamato military pact.

History
The island of Stechpalme was not always the mycelium barren wasteland it was. In fact, it was a lush jungle with plenty of greenery and vegetation. The north side of the island was inhabited by the Tribes of Engerdal. And the south the mole civilization of Maulvard. The two tribes were peaceful to each other but the people of Engerdal had started to throw empty carcasses of animals into the ocean. The ancient God of Lavvy became enraged that her oceans were being bloodied. So as an act of vengence, she sent a storm to the island which destroyed most of the developing town. The people began to worship Lavvy -mostly out of fear- and shrines and monuments had been constructed for her. But the tribal leader at the time Bryht Pek became envious of Lavvy's influence on the people and thought that he deserved the statue and that the people should worship him. He began to plan a ceremony to show the people of Hallandun who was their true savior.

He gathered up the population and grabbed a young cow and spoke to the crowd. He stuck a wooden pike into its chest and threw the bloody carcass into the ocean and publicly denounced Lavvy. The crowd was confused but started to clap from seeing such a bloody spectacle. Lavvy became enraged of this and overnight the green grass of Palme became purple with vengeance. The crops began to falter and the water around the island had a menacing purple hue. The once lush hills became barren and filled with carcasses of dead vegetation.

Lavvy had poisoned the waters of Palme and chaos spread across the land mass. As food and water depleted and people began to riot. The whole community was in shambles and people began to look for an alternative to water. Blood. People out of pure desperation began killing their fellow humans and drinking their blood. There was no humanity left only war and wasteland.

Age of Caydefather
The Caydefather ruled Hallandren for a long time, so long that no one quite remembers life without him. He arrived to the island well after Lavvythia had unleashed her rage onto it. The people were gray and hopeless, but The Caydefather saw beauty in the land and therefore restored faith into every single soul. Using his mysterious purple liquid, he was able to heal the sick and gain a rapid following that soon worshipped him as a God. Cities were built, and for the first time in history, Stechpalme had taken to the seas with their new ships. Since then, Hallandren had been a peaceful paradise of freedom and prosperity.

The Caydefather was found stabbed to death in his own chambers. No one quite knows how it happened, and it continues to remain a mystery.

Rise of Queen K'aiza Taurath
Queen K'aiza is the current ruler of Hallandren since the Caydefather passed, but her rise to power was not easy. Being born as an ant from foreign lands, K'aiza had trouble fitting in with the rest of the Hallandrunes and spent her youth digging random holes and tunnels throughout Hallandren. House Taurath was also unique from the rest of the Hallandrunes as they were not humans but cows, so out of sympathy and compassion, K'aiza was adopted into House Taurath. Growing up, K'aiza spent a lot of time with the Caydefather and was eventually allowed to work under him in his government which greatly determined the Queen she became.

Quickly after the death of the Caydefather, the Bonburgs publicly declared they they would be inheriting the throne. This announcement shocked Hallandren and was quite controversial because the Bonburgs had been dead for years and had only been revived recently. The timeline was not adding up, especially for K'aiza Taurath. In order to protect Hallandren from the Bonburgs, K'aiza made her own statement declaring herself the true heir and accusing the Bonburgs of being murderers and traitors. In response to K'aiza, the Bonburgs argued that she was only a foreigner and would overrun Hallandren with ants. A civil war was started.

The Lavvy Games
The First Lavvy Games used an altered version of The Caydefather Clock in Vythia as an arena, and the victor was a murderer named Ball. With the help of his team, Ball was able to hide throughout the entire game until there was only one other person left who he was able to easily murder due to how weak they were from the fighting.

Competitors
Ball was the victor of the First Lavvy Games, and he won with the strategy of hiding while his team consisting of Gojo Gyattoru, Pillezu, Ibes, and Poxeltar Le Cake fought the other competitors to their deaths in order to save his strength until it was only him and Tim Gyattman left who he was able to snipe with a bow due to how weak Tim Gyattman had been from the fighting. Ball had been put into the games due to his extensive history on murder, kidnapping, torture, and arson. It had taken years to finally track him down and imprison him, but the games have only set him free to continue his legacy.

Tim Gyattman was the last person to die in the Lavvy Games, and was sniped by Ball. Having the most kills in the game, he was an extremely ravenous competitor who was fueled by his cannibalistic ways. He was also on a team consisting of Tims Pot and The Surgeon. Before being assassinated by Ball, Tim Gyattman had completely wiped out Ball's entire team including Gojo Gyattoru, Pillezu, Ibes, and Poxeltar Le Cake. Tim Gyattman had been in the games due to his hunger for human meat, previously being imprisoned in Scilogete for his countless murders.

Edmond Von Bonburg was the first to be killed in the First Lavvy Games, and he was stabbed to death by Pillezu as he was searching one of the chests. Edmond was put into the games with his wife Brooke Von Bonburg and son Skoopy Vop Bonburg due to their attempt to contest K'aiza Taurath's claim to the throne who had been heir at the time.
