Hyria

Early Hyrian peoples
The origin of early or Proto-Hyrians is somewhat shrouded in mystery, with historians speculating about various theories. Some suggest that they may have originated from Syltor, possibly being one of the first isolated groups within Syltor. Others propose that they could have come from Helmia, as one of the numerous tribes migrating from Helmia to Syltor over the centuries. However, there has never been one universally agreed-upon theory regarding the origins of the Hyrian people, primarily due to poor record-keeping and limited paleontological findings.

Early History
Hyria's foundation remains to this date mystical. and the few sources existing are heavily politicide and ever changing. Linguaphenia fain'bythnia claims he was the sole founder and laid down the first bricks of what would become famous Cavetown of Hyria, in early January 2022. There is a party of disbelievers however, within the Rathnir archeological community, about how much of a "one man job" the foundation of Hyria really was. Archeological findings suggest the involvement of a second person by the Name of Eddy to have been involved, but all mentions of this individual has been mysteriously edited out of recent retellings of the Hyrian foundation myth.

Rebellions and Instability
Under Linguaphenia, the cavetown of Hyria would slowly grow not only in population, but also in physical size and splendor, until it would one day be noticed by the outside world. The then Emperor of Bardonia "Ambrewt" would host a a diplomatic conversation with Linguaphenia and after some back- and-forth discussions they agreed upon a full integration of Hyria into Bardonia, where Linguaphenia would get the honorary title of "Prince of Hyria" and get the rank of "Mayor" in the Bardonian council. The political landscape of Bardonia would change, shortly after the establishment of hyria the 4th empire of bardonia would fall into instability with many Independant states forming. namely the republic of fentabrada, with hyria having a role with in there government and later joining the "Dandelion Empire" and then it would become a provident region of the "Imperium", but Hyria and it's position within the nation would remain the same.

After September 2022, The Bardonian Empire found out about Hyria's rebellious plots, in a plot between oxeye, kaspartia and hyria called the league of orchidea, forcing Linguaphenia into temporary exile and transfer of the title grev to Mars fain'Bythnia, Mars then gave the title of grev to Akhmed Hamood Al Azizi 3 weeks later. Further after Akhmed Al Azizi took power he began the construction of a wall and better infrastructure. Akhmed Al Azizi Revolutionized the hierarchy and jobs of Hyria.

Independence era
On The 8th of April 2023, the hyrian leadership was interrogated about their ambiguous role in the 'Bardonian Empire'. By that point many of the Hyrians did not favor the Bardonians due to the past massacres and raids on the city, so the Bardonian Government promised 100k and a cathedral when joining in an effort of bettering relations with the Hyrians. Though this promise was made in an agreement between the central government of Bardonia and the almost effectively autonomous Hyrian local city officials, nothing came of it, the Bardonians failed to pay the amount of money agreed apon and even later downsized the payment to 100,000 which they themselves didn't even pay the full price of, only paying 50-60,000$. By the 10th of May the instability in hyria aswell as the general instability in Bardonia after the Battle of Dorrasterrock and the Battle of Bardonia City emboldened the Hyrian leadership supported by Synderia to claim large portions of the north eastern coast of Bardonia and declared independence as a vassal of Synderia.

After there proclamation of independence only a mere 3 weeks or so of vassalization to Synderia, Hyria was advised to leave Synderian vassalship and to become an integrated vassal of the Bardonian Republic due to the fact that Plagos (at the time the strongest nation in Rathnir) annexed the Empire of Bardonia (separate state from the Republic of Bardonia) , causing the Hyrians to join a nation with a more favorable diplomatic relation with Plagos in order to divert invasion from Plagos.

Bardonian Soldiers Republic Era
With Hyria initially serving as an integrated vassal of the Soldiers' Republic of Bardonia, it held exclusive autonomous rights within the republic. For a period, it was the largest and most active city within the republic itself, playing a key role with the nation's overall population consisting of around 17-20% Hyrians. This period in Hyrian history also marked the re-establishment of Fentabrada within Hyria's province as its own city, although it remained a relatively small settlement mainly used for the industrial production of brews.

Great Raids of Hyria
Shortly after Hyria joined the Bardonian Republic and the 6th Empire of Bardonia became integrated as a realm/domain of the Diarchy of Plagos, the former empire, now the Plagosi domain of Bardonia, became emboldened to raid Hyria. They viewed the earlier declaration of independence by the Hyrians as treachery and believed that their integration into the BSR was a tactic to spite the Plagosi Bardonians. Initially, the raids were rare and sporadic, but as time passed, the organization and size of the raids increased drastically. These raids escalated to the point where the BSR government regularly rallied allies to counter these larger, more organized attacks.

As the quality of the raiders sent by the Bardonians declined, the Hyrian militia forces could often outnumber and defeat them swiftly. The losses on the Bardonian raiders' part became so significant that, in one instance, a raider was subjected to a humiliation ritual, being turned into a femboy and mocked for all Hyrian citizens to see. As a result of these raids, a strong tradition of counter-raids and constant vigilance developed among the Hyrians. They routinely engaged in mass raids against their enemies or those with whom they had conflicts.

Unification of Bardonia
Instead of the highly anticipated unification war that was expected to unfold, the BSR and the High Kingdom of Bardonia were able to reunify through diplomatic talks, avoiding an all-out war between them. This led to the formation of a new unified government that incorporated both imperial bards and republicanist bards into a single governing body. This unique situation within the nation also had an impact on Hyria.

Shortly after the unification, Hyria was effectively granted its own province, becoming the sole major city in the Auron's Peak province and gaining significant influence in the region's politics.

Age of Hyria Industry
with the BSR absorbing the former high kingdom of bardonia the nation would see a decline in overall population growth, with many former imperial citizens fleeing the nation and depopulating bardonians industry sectors. this would leave a vacuum of empty industry jobs ranging from potion production and manufacturing of goods like armor, tools etc. and with hyria having one of if not fastest growing populations in bardonia , some state larger and more populated than even the capital city, it would allow many hyrians to fill up state industry jobs in mass, producing armor and swords for the state armory Aswell as production facilities establish in fentabrada (formerly hyrian cosnia valley). this industry and economic boom would reach its high in the autumn of 284 TE, with the hyrian government selling and producing over 2 million BSR marks worth of armor, pickaxes , swords and other products like Mythics. this new age of economic industrialization and development would eventually stimulate the large population boom, with many housing sectors and areas of the city being made both above and below ground and businesses like Reds blacksmithing CO. being established, popularizing all sorts of styles of fashion and Aswell as cultural development from new migrants coming to the town for jobs and business deals.

Era of rapid population growth
with the industry boom bringing in large amounts of food imports, comfortable standard of living Aswell as many jobs, schools etc. it would incentivize migrants from all over slytor and bardonia to come to the city, some coming from the Northern crowns or even far off places like yimmu-audal and even valoore just to name a few. not only that but large boom in the economy would allow the local government to heavily invest in housing and expansion of schools and health care facilities, drastically increasing hyrian birth rates Aswell as overall life expectancy

Bardonian civil war
in the year of 286 TE a bloody civil war would erupt in bardonia with imperial forces led by capna and supported by Team rocket and vinovia would forcefully march on dorrastrock and ousting Marshal Dukesouleater from dorrastrock, soon after this swift victory in the old capital and seat of bardonian imperial power taken over. capna along with many still loyal former imperial bardonian strongholds would secede from the union. with the civil war raging on Aswell as an uneasy tension between the empire of bardonia and the bardonian soldier's republic, with no official battles yet to take place and many leaders on both sides would mysteriously disappearing, notable people like marshal dukesouleater, chancellor fynd and for a time emperor capna and citizen cheese went missing Aswell just to name a few. not only would this have a large effect on the government of bardonia but also hyria, with many of the cities citizens fearing that they may be a target of war and fleeing to diffrent hyrian settlements outside of bardonia, namely royalis , a small island in the phagosian sea ruled by the current mayor of hyria Osbert synderys, despite this civil war halting a lot of progress in the city the hyrian people would still remain industrious and active with in royalis and even starting profitable shops there.

Late civil war period
after the embarrassing defeat at the first and second battle of goblin town with an overwhelming UCS and slytorii victory, it would mark as a turning point during the civil war. with the empire spending around 13 million on mercs (most of whom didn't show up on their side) and wasting countless amounts of gear and war brews in the campaign. this defeat would be followed by a month long no war December for the whole server, with the server wide war shield Aswell as the imperials seeming to be on the losing side of the civil war, and them not acting on their threats of invading hyria it would seem like the city would be safe after all. following this activity and construction in the city would resume.

Hyrian economic golden age
during the late civil war period after the ramping up of activity and many hyrians returning to the city from royalis bring many workers and investors back to the town allowing for further economic development and industrialization. following this happening, osbert than leader of hyria would establish a localized state company for hyrians mainly but also in extension to other outsiders and bards alike. with his re-establishment of oscorp and now with a large in-game shop called Oz-mart, giving osbert and his busniess associates namely saikyo synderys his son and his friends and other connections alike a store to set up base and sell stuff. with his company employing much of hyrias skilled brewers, blacksmiths and grinders, with their industry producing large vast stock of pickaxes, swords, armor and brews for sale. with the establishment of the in-game store Aswell as staff and large amounts of stock it would allow the citys residents reliable jobs and economic purchasing power, with the company also making over 1 mil in profit with in the first week of its establishment.

Golden age of Hyrian banditry and organized crime
Though oscorp was a large component to the cities wealth that wasn't all, banditry and entrapping of idiotic and gullible foreigners and enemies for their loot would also contribute much to the growth of the local economy. though this act of banditry and luring of poor innocent random fools would be expected from low level hooligans and thugs, but it was surprisingly done by the nobility and aristocracy of hyria. drastically enriching them and lining their pockets, these acts reached its peak when trump synderys bandit lord of hyria lured and killed a wealth ultiman whom had around 5 million worth of armor, weapons and artifacts on him, but it didn't stop there after that incident countless other victims would be killed for their loot, allowing the rich benefactors of this trade to gain millions worth of netherite , swords armor etc., until it was formally made illegal in the city and nationwide.
