Valoria

Valoria is a city located in The Magisterium.

The Beginnings
Valoria was founded by King Valenov the Great (Valeania) on the 26th of July 2021. The settlement was intended to be a small colony of Greytide, a tiny village now lost to time. Soon, Valor met a person named Tomboymarcus, who would help him greatly in building the first houses.

Conflict with Dawnstar
After building the first houses of Valoria, Valenov went to the neighboring town of Dawnstar, where he met Norskhone. Norsk would attack Valor and chase him down to Valoria. Valenov would lock himself in his house, waiting for help. After a long wait, Tomboymarcus arrived and helped Valor kill the Dawnstarian, setting a ransom for Norskhone's items. The items disappeared, however, igniting another wave of anger. When everyone thought a war was about to break out, BackToTheHub, the leader of the Magisterium, stepped in and cooled down the tensions.

Plan East
After the tensions cooled down, Valoria was growing quicker than expected, becoming a relatively large town. But the period of peace wouldn't last long. Soon, King Valenov came up with a plan to build beaches on the eastern shores, called Plan East. This angered the Sentari, who claimed Valoria's sea access. This border dispute would bring back the great tension. A person named McBabwe would spread anti-Valorian hate among the Sentari, which would fuel the rivalry even further. These tensions would eventually lead to an incident where a citizen of Valoria was murdered by Norskhone, who stole his belongings. Upon hearing about this incident, Valeania took one of his citizens and ran into Dawnstar. The Sentari weren't happy, as the two Valorians were fully armed, making it seem like an invasion.

Sometime after, natboy88 became the leader of Dawnstar and decided to marry Valor to cool down the tensions between the two cities.

The UBSR Scandal and the Golden Age of Valoria
Around early September 2021, some of the most important Valorian figures created a troll Discord server in which they planned terrorism against the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic. The server was quickly leaked though, and the UBSR decided to send a group of bandits to raid Valoria as revenge. This raid angered the Magisterium, which decided to declare war on Burgamere. After the UBSR surrendered, the Magisterium and Frosmyre united to form the Frosterium. This is when Valoria was at it's peak - reaching well over 50 citizens.

Soon, the Frosterium would collapse. Before the collapse, however, a group of cities (including Valoria and Dawnstar) in Sparwood formed a group called the UTC.

Tatsuhosho
When the Frosterium collapsed, the nation of Tash'Nayil, of Fish and Water, was formed by the UTC. The nation's capital was in Dawnstar. Soon, however, Dawnstar was hit by a plague of inactivity which wiped out the city. The remaining people of Dawnstar would flee to Shizumori, the country's new capital. Around that time Tash'Nayil would change it's name to Tatsuhosho.

On the 21st of December 2021, Tatsuhosho was peacefully integrated into Tovarisha. Valenov would soon become the leader of the province.

The Path of the Pale Horse
Valoria's main religion is the Path of the Pale Horse (also know as Palhorsism), although the city embraces religious freedom.

Geography
Valoria is located in the Magisterium, sitting on a peninsula on the northwest end of Sparwood. It borders Dawnstar to the southeast, Illirae to the north and Asylais to the northeast. It's very close to the Abyssal Isles as well, being separated only by a small swamp. It has access to the Sea of Pearls.
