Kingdom of Helos

The Kingdom of Helos also known simply as Helos or in the Heloisan native tongue Heloisa, is a country located in the southern part of Eldham. In between Arsine and Serrona. It is a nation of culture, literature, science, religion, and trade.

Founding
The Kingdom of Helos was founded on august 8th, 2021. At the time it was originally called The Principality of Helos, the nation was born after the original capital of Helos, Helostad was founded around july 31st, 2021. Originally Helos didn't want to declare that it was a country without learning about it neighbors, with the fear of what happened to them in Rodinnbrok and Simulami (Months Prior.) In which they were kicked out of the land they settled on, because either with Simulami where they were squatting, or Rodinnbrok where they had claimed land before fully finishing negotiations with Rodinnbrok about becoming a protectorate (they settled on another cities land.) When settled down, Helosian scouts explored the area finding no settlements in about a 250 block area. After being sure nobody would do anything about them forming a country out of Helostad, on august 8th Prince Bitter announced the very inspirational speech in e-claim-updates, "this area is sovereign under the Principality of Helos. We are on a man made island." And so Helos was formed.

First Couple of Weeks After Founding
After the founding of Helos instead of working on Helostad, Prince Bitter decided to work on expanding the country, and establishing alliances. The first nation to ally with Helos was The New Moon Company, and its first threat came with this new alliance, around a day after the formation of the Helosian-New Moon alliance Prince Bitter was contacted by Dire Wolf, a powerful and feared person. He stated, "I am the person against the crescent moon." Dire Wolf told Bitter that New Moon has stolen his god sword and was demanding it back, Dire Wolf also asked Bitter if he would defend New Moon. Bitter didn't respond and immediately contacted the commander of New Moon, when told the full story Bitter stopped responding to Dire Wolf and would help New Moon if need be. Helos thought that it would have to fight its first war a mere week after being founded but thankfully the situation was resolved. Afterwards Helos would have it's first expansion by buying 4 natural islands from Batu, it would also form an alliance with The Second Empire of Plagatéa. Helos was then approached by Nova Azcoria...
