Suderen Independence
[Date: December 7th 2021]

Formerly the Duchy of Suderen under the Soleannen Empire of Escharia, Duke Anerias Magistri declared independence as the Kingdom of Suderen on December 7, 2021, following the abdication of the Emperor Valerian and the Empire's vassalization by Uraka. With new Kingdom's borders remaining the same as it had previously had when Suderen had been as a Duchy,

The reasoning for their secession of the Empire was brought upon by domestic issues within the Soleannen Empire of Escharia, with Anerias Magistri citing his and his people's unwillingness to be involved in the unnecessary wars and the Higher Government of Escharia unwillingness to put a end to decades long 'blood feuds' in particular the one with the Kingdom of Aurora a Kingdom within Uldarash, Anerias then added that they Suderen had settle its issues without the aid of Escharia and supposedly put more into the Empire then it ever gotten back in return referring to it as a one-sided relationship.

Suderen would shortly be lawfully recognised as being released as a independent nation from the Empire of Escharia under the Treaty of Suderen and Escharia with Anerias maintaining his title of King of Suderen and being a noble of Escharia, additionally with Suderen staying on as a member of the EoE and attend the noble diet.

Lozarian-Suderen Pact
[Date: December 9th 2021]

Suderen would form a Pact with the Kingdom of Lozaria that includes clauses for non-aggression, mutual defence and trade that was agreed upon between Anerias Magistri and Jonathan Lozharo with Xarahh Lozharo acting as the bridge between the brother-in-laws as a mediator with the frosty relations between the two being quite evidently apparent by this point.

Tyramat Ultimatum Crisis
[Date: December 11th 2021]

Nirauras Asezie viewing the United Federation of Tyramat as a nation of Opportunists who had only one town that is small and inactive within the entire region of Tyramat they claimed, who exploited the weakness of Soleannen Empire of Escharia to declare independence. When the Empire was beset by enemies, he referred to them "As a group of non-Niedene, living on Niedene land, and led by a non-Niedene leader." and that the name of Tyramat is an embarrassment to the land's Niedene cultural and political history.

In light of his views he sent out a ultimatum to the United Federation of Tyramat his conditions were their complete annexation into the Soleari Irrasterrei de Arj'entor (Soleannen Kingdom of Arj'entor) any previous Tyramat governmental figures would retain their position in the new Arj'entor government. With Arj'entor remaining independent from both Etscharien and the Sapphire Commonwealth, to serve as a buffer state between them, should tensions rise and to prevent tension.

Anerias seeing this gross attempt for a grab of power to 'assert domainance' by Nirauras Asezie would personally intervene supporting Tymarat promising that the Suderen will lend whatever is necessary whether that be supplies or soldiers in their support of the nation against Nirauras Asezie whom his states "Go directly against the wishes of the Escharian government and are deplorable."

The Crisis would end with the Treaty of Vollressal where Nirauras Asezie and Anerias Magistri met up at Vollressal to discuss the crisis regarding Tyramat, where they reached an agreement to make peace. The conditions of the treaty is as follows, Nirauras will receive 30,000 in coin from Anerias Magistri, in return of Nirauras recognition of Tyramat's borders, and the promise of non-aggression towards both Tyramat and Suderen. Alongside the dissolution of the Soleari Irasterrei de Arj'entor and his offer of being a soldier to Tyramat if they are in a defensive against a non-Niedene enemy, which Tyramat does not have to accept.

Nirauras then congratulated Anerias on his willingness to come to peace, and that he wish it be known across all of Rathnir that Anerias is a sensible man and great mediator of peace, as shown by the Conclusion of the Tyramat Ultimatum Crisis.

Uldarash-Suderen Alliance
[Date: December 13th 2021]

The Empire of Uldarash and the Kingdom of Suderen would sign a Treaty which saw both parties enter into a Mutual Defense Pact and Non-Aggression Pact. In order for the Uldarashi to help their Nieden friends in the east maintain sovereignty, and to help defend Uldarash's Overseas Possessions in West Tessel which was sold over by Anerias Magistri to end the Blood fued between the Escharians and the Aurorans. seeing this Alliance as within the interest of both parties.

Land Scam Incident
[Date: December 24th 2021]

The Kingdom of Suderen was contacted by a Envoy from the Simulami Empire regarding what they believed (Correctly) to be a possible Scam. A individual under the name of Shohen who was not in any way affiliated with the Government of Suderen, contacted the Simulami Empire in offering to sell a large portion of Suderen's Land, claiming that they had brought it from Suderen, which Anerias and the entirety of Suderen's government flatly denied, making a open statement that at no point did Shohen gained any legal control of the land he intended to sell off in question holding no right over it. with Suderen advises all the nations of Rathnir to be wary of this individual, and ignore any attempts on his part to scam nations out of their money.

The Marisum Fiasco
[Date: December 24th 2021]

The Aurlûnor Velande specially the Grand Template and the Kingdom of Lunaris sent out a word of warning to the Kingdom of Suderen when reached them of a supposed unwarranted attack on the Gaians in the City of Marisum which involved the Dread Fleet and several other mercenaries which allegedly included the Soleannen Knights, with the massacring of multiple members of the temple there. Being recorded as one of the most impactful moments in the history of the Temple. With the Celestial Matron Sareariel Lelya-Earcala ordering the attacks to cease as the temple within Suderen domain was classified as a friendly faith to the Soleannen Church confirmed by Yazov, and that should attacks continues along with the occupation of Marisum, the temple will take up arms in action this is followed by the Lunaris who made a open statement over the incident referring to the Harassment of the Gaians over the existence of a single Twin Dragon Temple being unwarranted with Amaranthine Luon declaring with vigour and conviction that "The Gaian people had done nothing to you to deserve this. Please desist".

With open denouncements by Aurlûnor Velande and Lunaris a open statement to the public was necessary, with the response from Suderen being one of sensibility. Suderen affirms that they simply have rules and laws that are to be followed. Among one of these is the law that states that foreign religions are not to practised outside your home of residence, The Gaians on a number of occasions were informed of this, yet still they chose to violate this law set in place and chose to set up a shrine to the Twin Dragon Faith against the explicit wishes of the Authority of the Land which they they chose to reside in.

As one would the Kingdom of Suderen responded to this active defiance of the laws with a request that the people of Marsium remove the shrine. And to practise their faith within the confines and safety of their own home but not in public space which had since been accepted by the Gaians. This however does not excuse the Gaians in their disrespect of Suderen in both their insults towards their leadership and requesting funds for foreign projects outside the borders of Suderen. Exceptions have been made time and time again but their comes a time where it has to stop. Even still Suderen has reached a Agreement regarding the Temple which was accepted by both sides. With Suderen ending the Fiasco by issuing a recommendation in future for the Aurlûnor Velande and Lunaris to not "make such rash moves and discuss the issue at hand with all parties involved instead of sending open threats in public denouncements".
