Before Eldham
"Burn it, burn it all! Leave them nothing behind, let them inherit the burning ashes of our land. The boot of Ankara will not gracefully step on our people!" - General Kastitch, (Battle of the Western Strait)

Backround
In a land leagues away from here, in a time distant from ours, stood a massive archipelago known as Polis. Inbetween the islands stood 5 oceans, that being Oceanica, Midway, Victoria, Emerald, and Undead Sea. East of Midway, Emilie undertook the creation of Manila, sparking her journey into Nationhood. Across an ocean stood the superpower Kawncorp. Borne from the jungles of Manaus, they became the server's largest nationstate in afew weeks.

Collapse of Manila
June 7th, 2021.

* ''Flares sparkle across the sky as Ankaran paratroopers glide over AA gunners. Shotgun and musket fire ring out through the desolate streets while the faint *din* of artillery hammer the remaining strongholds meekly resisting. Our once beautiful cobbled paths now run red with the blood of our brothers and family. At the time we were close to giving up, the enemy were at our doorstep, they had us beat... then They came. * - Addendum 41 | Drew's Journal''

The Ankara Confederation began an international campaign against any power deemed "noteworthy" in the Midway and Emerald Seas. They swept through the deserts, overrunning small farming communities and using them as staging points for further invasion. This came to a head once they reached the Midway sea, now having access to all of Midway, including Manila. Unbeknownst to them, a new power began colonizing the region, one that would upend the social fabric and bring a Golden Age into Polis, and that power, was Kawncorp. June 9th, 2021 (Emilie's Manor)

After the complete failure of Defense Force Alpha, all 15 advisors on her cabinet decided to abandon Manila and flee... "15 folders... all 15 of them... are gone now... I don't UNDERSTAND! *papers slam and fly across her decrepit, * what... d-did I do... so w-wrong..." The emperor of Kawncorp, the mighty TheHomieKawn himself entered the room and handed her a small letter with a proposal. If she accepted, she would leave the ruins of Manila and join Kawncorp as a small princess. With no other option, she joined him, and they left in a Huey and left to the sunset, to a new Era.

Holy Queen of Sanctuary
'''"AVA ANG EMILIE, OUR HOLIEST QUEEN!" - Sanctum Herald (August 2021)'''

Following the abdication of Emilie and later becoming a Japanese vassal, Manila was put under national stasis and was completely shuttered, leaving only a small stone statue to even mark it ever existed. She then began the nationstate of Sanctuary,. Located in Manaus, it quickly grew to occupy all of the Manana Mountain Range and later became a protectorate of Kawncorp.

There she became a very prominent leader, forming a federation on August 3rd known as the U.S.T.A. (United Sovereign Territories of Anacoe). She then began a successful military campaign, sieging and taking 5 costal cities across the archipelago. But what comes up must come down, and Kawncorp had been the dominate superpower for over 6 months now... something had to give way. And that something was a 400 player coalition, against Kawncorp and by extension, Emilie.

The Polisian Exodus
September 19th, 2021. Following an astronomically poor diplomatic blunder, a 400 player coalition involving 27 nations, 4 unions, 2 subcontinental commonwealths, and one catgirl island descended onto Anacoe. Overnight they staged sieges along the shoreline and cutoff vital infrastructure, notably the Kawncorp International Airport and Trans-Anacoite Highway. With the KAP disabled and all major roadways crippled, the overwhelmed military focused on defending its capital in a desperate last defense of the nation.

September 20th, 2021. 15 of the 47 towns have been successfully overrun as a 40 man expedition was launched to capture Kawncorp. By this point Emilie's state, Sanctuary was already shelled into oblivion. The remnants of her militia gathered at their airbase in the South Pole, preparing for a counter attack. The 57 strong marine corp also began a guerilla offensive against the Coalition, terrorizing settlers, burning/shelling resupply points, knocking out vital canal/riverways, along with among other destructive acts.

September 21st, 2021. The war is over. All cities including the capital became under the occupation of the Aramenian Empire and were subsequently pillaged or razed. TheHomieKawn and his partner, MoonEclypse stayed as the last two inhabitants of Kawncorp, maintaining their citizenship to this day. Sanctuary had also been sieged, but under Emilie's final command was destroyed and dropped from the clouds, crashing into the Manana Range and being abandoned. The survivors fled to an awaiting CH-47, attempting to evacuate to the relatively safety of their outpost down South. They would not arrive.

Personality Split
About 5km southbound of Sanctuary, the lone chinhook would be fatally struck by the Silver Maid. She was the only apparent survivor, using a small, glowing green pearl she was gifted by the Kawn to survive, granting her his divine Kawnic Grace. As the orb flew above and began to transport her, a falling shard of metal stabbed through the centre, fracturing the sphere into 3 parts. Before she could rebind them, a great purple and blue arua washed about her, and 3 Emilies were thrown across Eldham, scattered and amnesiac. These would be later known as Emilie Iskrem, Braddington, and Uyi. Iskrem wokeup afew days later, a briefcase of artifacts strapped to her back and floating near Isothonikos. She crawled to shore and the city gates, famished and dying to find a man rushing to her with food and a red towel. She graciously accepted his gift, a bloodied hand extended to a golden one.
