Almmore

The Imperium of Almmore is a city-state that was founded in the Tortugan Sphere of Influence by BlakeHasCorona on November 20th, 2021. After a short stay, the Almmorians moved northwest in order to join the Kingdom of Thalassii as a duchy. Almmore [Formally known as The Duchy of Almmore/The Imperium of Almmore] has engaged in several conflicts as part of the Thalassians.

History
Founded in mid November of 2021 in the Tortugan sphere of influence, where the first colonists remained before moving to eastern Sparwood, under Thalassii control.

The capital city of Almmoria began construction shortly afterwards, even though Almmori citizens fought in the Kartek wars. Following the end of the ocnflict, more construction proceeded, including terraforming, as well as creation of the Church, homes for citizens, and businesses. As of currently, most construction is on hold, due to the political chaos that began on December 2nd.

There were minor internal conflicts at the end of November due to a sudden tax increase, as well as some minor thefts and conflict over the nature reserves shared with Rohel.

Kartek-Moonburg Defensive War
The Kartek Caliphate, imbued with fantasies of glory and crusade, decided that they had ancestral claim to the lands surrounding their nation. They wanted total control of all land surrounding their state, and to achieve this they declared total war on any nation they desired. The Karteks, for whatever reason, did not take into account the extensive military alliances of it's neighbor nations, who vowed to defend one another from outside attack. After the Karteks' unrighteous siege of Moonburg, a city in Rohel, was announced, the nations allied with Rohel stepped up to defend it. Thalassii and it's puppet state, Almmore, quickly moved forces outside of the great wall which surrounded Moonburg. Kartek agitators made a weak attempt at attacking Thalassii/Almmorian and Roseport [Rohel] forces, and were quickly dealt with. They made a quick retreat into the mountains and the battle was thought to be over, until the Karteks re-emerged on a ledge above the height of the Moonburg defensive wall. Thalassii/Almmore and Roseport forces were led inside the Moonburg gate and took defensive positions. A standoff occurred for approximately 10 minutes, until the cowardly Karteks called upon bandits in fully enchanted netherite gear to fight their battle for them. This display of incompetency did not go unnoted by Moonburg officials. The paid bandits wiped out the combined forces of Thalassii/Almmore, Roseport and Moonburg, who were forced to retreat for shelter in the houses of Moonburg. After the bandits grew bored they left, out emerged the allied forces who pushed away the unskilled Kartek military, now unable to call upon their impartial cronies for assistance. With the Kartek threat eliminated for the time being, the Duke of Moonburg gave a speech which would define the coming era for Moonburg. Eloquently worded encouragement to the citizens of Moonburg to rebuild their defenses with greater strength and unity, builders and warriors alongside each other defending their land from the Kartek Hoard in their unjust crusade upon the lands of Rohel.

Kartek-Roseport Defensive War
In short succession to the attack on Moonburg, Kartek forces attacked Roseburg but failed due to resistance from Thalassii/Almmore soldiers. The battle lasted around 2 minutes before the Karteks gave up.

Kartek-Gertek Defensive War
[Someone who was there pls write a description]

Thalassi-Buktenbyan Liberation War
After Kartek invasion of Rohel lands, the Thalassians staged a counterattack invading Kartek-occupied Buktenbyan. The battle was confusing, and Almmorian forces managed to get lost in the forest while attempting to join the battle alongside Thalassii. The Karteks barely fought back, but a singular bandit who remained in the area following the attack on Moonburg defended the city from it's liberation by Thalassii forces. Eventually the Almmorian reinforcements arrived at the city to find it bare of both Kartek and Thalassii soldiers, with only the single bandit remaining. Almmorian soldiers exited the city before being caught by the bandit, and the Karteks never re-entered the city. It can be assumed that Buktenbyan has been de-facto reclaimed by Rohel.

Religion
The official Religion of Almmore is The Will of Deus Helios.

Not all members are followers of the religion, but not being part of the Church is heavily frowned upon by citizens and the government. Some citizens are members of the Lutherian Church of Thalassii.
