Wivamovian Migration

The Wivamovian Migration is the result of a non-violent conflict between the Principalities of Andorn and remants of the Order of Wivamovia. The conflict ultimately resulted in the Wivamovians abandoning the Wivamonties and its surrounding settlements to the former capital of The Second Escharian Empire.

Wivamovian Excursion
After many years of mining and extracting the resources of the underground, Wivamovia's lands had long since become unstable. Due to Wivamovian’s unique biology and the unstable underground, this introduced many troubles and of course internal strife within the nation. This along with the recent conflict with Imperial Andorn the former Wivamovian Royal, Lord Benjamin De Casul, would take matters into his own hands and send out various members of the military to the sister-hemisphere of Rathnir, Eldham.

The excursion served no diplomatic purpose, however, it was for members of the excursion to return with foreign tools to Rathnir to help fortify the undergrounds that the people had lived in since ancient times. The majority of the men and women who participated in this excursion would unfortunately perish to the means of which still remain unknown as of today. One of the key individuals who left on this excursion is Rowan De Casul, a member of House De Casul and Wivamovian nobility.

Rowan had returned with nothing of significant material worth, actively choosing to forgo bringing tangible resources for another approach to the problem. The noble instead proposed a plan along with a completely detailed blueprint of a stabilized underground and government. The plans themselves were entirely constructed by Rowan along with occassional assistance from what would later become his soon-to-be betrothed.

These initiatives, further groomed and developed to ensure the interests of the Wivamovian people by the government, would be the foundation for a literal internally strong Wivamovia. These plans would later become what is known as the Arcadia Project, named after the blueprints of the city that was to be constructed beneath Hinomir.

A New Reform
The restructured government would slowly take form, led by Lord Casul and the young noble shadowing him. As a result of Rowan's exploits, Lord Casul would grant him the title of Chancellor of Wivamovia to lead the construction of the Arcadia Project. This maneuver, although harmless to Imperial Andorn, would begin a lengthy chain of increasing hostility between the two governing bodies. Disinterested in any form of Wivamovian succession or rebellion, the two would actively approach both Andornian royalty and nobility to make their intentions clear only to be met with an indifferent approval.

Regardless of this indifference, the plans were continued for the safety of Wivamovian citizens. Finally, a sense of stability was beginning to wash over the Wivamonties and its various denizens. Even with the progress, seeing the situation between Wivamovia and Andorn growing more volatile, Rowan proposed approaching recent friend turned ally Regent Hazel McSpiegel regarding the matter to his liege in the future. His foresight would later be proven correct and their conversation with the Escharian Regent would later lead to what would become known as the "Wivamovian Migration".

Public Address
During the Zentivarian year of 160 AS (August 13th, 2023), Rowan giving an address to the Wivamovian and wider the Escharian populace with approval from Lord Casul and as a mark of friendship with Regent Hazel McSpiegel, would officially announce plans to fix many of the issues that plagued the Andornian Vassal- the most pressing of which being the construction of The Arcadia. Although Wivamovia's intent and actions were communicated well in advance, Imperial Andorn would step in and take issue with the nobles' initiatives.

Meeting with the Eternal Archon
Discussion would ensue regarding Wivamovia's future amongst Andornian nobility, the Escharian vassal seeking to control the entirety of the Arcadia Project in its own interests. Now told to stop and halt progress, Lord Casul would accept Rowan's proposal to converse with the Enem of Lileanen regarding the now political predicament. In year 161 AS of the Zentivarian Calendar (August 18th, 2023), Benjamin and Rowan would finally conform with Regent McSpiegel on The Arcadia Project along with Andorn seizing the operation.

"The problem was large enough that the lower levels expressed a willingness to cooperate with me. It's part of why I made Rowan Chancellor, to head a project meant to build a more stable underground."

"I wasn't aware Wivamovia had a Chancellor," Hazel said, glancing to Ben as Rowan removed the map on top to reveal another, focused in on what was specified to be a massive series of caverns, reinforced to a nearly staggering degree. At the top the design was labelled ARCADIA.

"We didn't," Rowan answered, glancing up as he rolled up the first map. "And that's where the problems started."

Seeing the opportunity to do something great, Regent McSpiegel would accept the Wivamovian people as refugees and eventual citizens of Lostesrei. Unannounced to Andronian officials, the Regent would have the Wivamovians migrate on mass from northern Syltör to central Nieden as an act of disobidience. Now having abandoned their ancestrial lands, Benjamin and Rowan would lead their people to what would soon become a new beginning and era for Wivamovians.

Post Migration
Blindsided by this act and left with a structurally unstable Wivamonities and Hinomir, Andorn has established a reconstruction initiative to fix the now unpopulated lands. The initiative is led by Andorian High Court member Orange McSpiegel von Savras.

As for Benjamin and Rowan, they now manage Lostesrei as Akesors beneath Regent McSpiegel who has been trusted to run the holy city as its leader. All three of their exploits have been a major factor in the recent boom in population and activity in the city.
