Tsaeloma

The Kingdom of Shaloma located in the north-east part of Cymru. It stretches from Adytum all the way to the Valroni swamp.

It is now a province inside of the Imperial Archonial Union of Viodoxa and Tovarisha

Before there was Shaloma
Right when the VIR (Valderach Imperial Republic) fell apart, and the remaining supporters of the republic where persecuted. On an attempt of hiding from war and murder. Some citizens of the VIR refused leaving their homeland in Cymru, and decided they would hide underground until returning to the surface was safe enough.

But as time passed by, and old generations died of old age. The tales of war started a fear of the surface among young Shalomakiis. And thus, as leaders started to come and go, none of them wished to return to what once was home; for now they had a safer place to sleep in.

Before the Archonate
Shaloma became a nation the 16th of February of 2020, (the city state of Aund ron de Sloog existed for way before that) as the Republic of Shaloma. The young nation was composed of 10+ citizens at the time, its highest numbers reaching 30+.

Annexation of Shaloma
On febuary of 2021, Shaloma and Viodoxa made contact for the first time. Valen McSpiegel contacted King Richard Amphed to have a meeting in the city of De Sloog. The King thought of the meeting as a simple one on one conversation. But to his surprise, Archon Loic dem Spheniscidae and Valen brought 12 troops to the meeting, intimidating the king and the citizens of the capital.

On the other hand, the right hand man, and the Archon where quite surprised to see the city, and the clear sight of Shaloman culture. Heads. Valen McSpiegel had told King Richard a while after the encounter "We thouht you where head hunters because of all the heads, we where acually scared.".

The meeting ended in an agreement from the king and the provisional councilof Shaloma to join the government and the Archonate of Viodoxa. Even tho they agreed, Shaloma was purposely intimidated and that the Shalomans would not take lightly. This created a little rivalry between Shaloma and Adytum.

The Shaloman-Adytum rivalry started when Shaomakiis killed all the chikens of the neighbouring province. Not only that but shalomakiis stole various objects of valentum. The De Sloog government agreed to build a massive wall to protect itself from the people of Valentum.

First Purple Insurrection
The first purple insurrection was lead by Loic and the province of Shaloma. After Adytum tried to annex the whole province of shaloma. Without the king's approval, by imperial decree.

King Richard Amphed asked Tortuga for help in a revolution, in exchange of the shaloman kingdom becoming a Tortugan province. The situation scalated into a full civil war, with the Kingdom of Shaloma joining the TVA led by Loic and Tortuga.

End of the first Kingdom
After the first purple insurrection, the provinces of the old Viodoxan Archonate where free once again. The Shaloman people however where seen as traitors, and diplomatic efforts where not getting through the other old provinces. The kingdom was left alone for some time, untill the TVA and the old provinces agreed to unite under the second Archonate of Viodoxa.

In this new Archonate, the kingdom saw its new golden age under the new royal family the Spheniscidaes. The city of Blakwater became one of the most populars in the archonate and started to regain that old life to it. But it all ended when the reformist society civil war happened, and multiple grieffings occurred at blackwater and De Sloog at the same time. These left the city in ruins until the J horde (minority ethnicity at the time)took over, and the Kingdom of Shaloma was lost to this new rising power.

Second Kingdom
The Second Kingdom of Shaloma refers to the Shaloman Kingdom controlled by the Spheniscidae family. Which took control of the kingdom when the Archonial Union settled in cymru.

The new family is currently in an ongoing conflict with J horde.
