Bal Election Crisis of Early Febuary 21

The Last Bal
The Last person with the title of Bal was WilusaWarrior, Emperor of Uldarash from its founding until the end of the Great Golden War when he abdicated, leaving this elemental plane to find true peace and enlightenment.

Hanuyamese Migration
the 4th of Febuary 2021, a massive migration of the Hanuyamese people took place, fleeing their island of Hanuyama which had sunk into the ocean. They would cross all of Haven until being taken in by Keechoo, the King of Paloro. Their leader Loic founded the city of Asahiri only a few hundred meters from the Palorian capital of Palovina.

Population Boom
At the time, Paloro had a whole population of 3, within the first day of Loic's arrival, this number had grown to 7. King Keechoo would react to this and grand Loic the position of High Councilman.

New people would flock to the city. When the total population reached 13, the imperial Gylok Kazi-Myre (Mlgkiddoritofan) advised King Keechoo to claim the title of Bal, making him the head of the Asharu High Temple. While Keechoo was meditating on the question, MLG was contacting the other Gylok, asking them if they would support Keechoo's claim.

During this, the Palorian Population would boom even further, topping off at 50 registered citizens.

Keechoo's Abdiction
Keechoo knew that his antiquated government techniques were no match for this huge population, so he gave up his title as king and granted it to the Asahiri leader, Loic. Loic would get into conntact with MLG, about promoting his claim to the title of Bal among the other Gylok.

Although his claim was accepted by the majority of Gylok, he would start a dispute with the Tabist Gylok Ginknight.

With his coronation only a few days away, Loic would unveil his plans of uniting all of Haven under one banner, instating a grand Asharu theocracy. He hoped to do this peacefully, getting Aurora, Uldarash and most Southern Haven Microstates in on his plans.

The Reinstitution
Many would reject the prospect of a united Haven however and so rumors woud spread about Loic bringing war and conquest to the continent. Keechoo would be scared by this prospect and decided to take away Loic's title and become King once again. Loic rejected this "rebellion", officially beginning the Paloro Succession, as well as the Bal Election Crisis.

Auroran Intervention
The Auroran King Canine had cought wind of this and pulled out of the agreement together with Uldarash. Later, Aurora would call Loic a "Tyrant", despite him having the backing of the vast majority of the population. He would then plan on invading Paloro, to steal a lot of their territory, plunder their vast gold reserves and reinstate Keechoo as a puppet governer under Auroran rule. For this, they decided to hire mercenaries, most prominantly BackToTheHub.

Uldarash chose to stay neutral during this conflict at first until deciding to aid Aurora.

Loic did not take this well and decided to have a talk with the Uldarashi leader, Whiskeyknight, convincing him of backing Paloro instead.

Fallout of WhiskeyKnight's Assassination
After WhiskeyKnight was assassinated by the leader of his most loyal knights, RumKnight would bail out on the deal with Paloro and side Aurora once again.

Burning of Asahiri
Knowing his chances of winning to be slim, Loic would officially abdict his title and burn down his own city, so no others could have the honor to grief it. He then took a sizable amount of the former residents and migrated north into the Sterling Crownland.

The camp would be raided frequently, as they were not a legitimate part of the Crownland and so, was not protected by Crownland forces. Soon after, Loic would leave forever, leaving his second in command Carado in charge, who still continues hostilities with Sterling.

The Aftermath
Paloro remains in the hands of Keechoo, allthough the other older players (Mlgkiddoritofan and Carado) have moved away, the Paloro population is still higher than it was before the migration. MLG has left the continent on a spiritual journey, conserving and spreading books, religions and other wisdoms. Carado is, as of now, the leader of the campsite Loic left behind, having ambitions to expand it to a whole town. This is unlikely however, because his group has attracted the wrath of Aurora, Uldarash and the Sterling Crownlands, as they are currently illegally settling within their territories, refusing to establish diplomatic relations.

Current State of the Bal
Currently, no Asharu ruler is claiming the title of Bal.
