Kingdom of Daelyria

The Kingdom of Daelyria is a nation founded after the Attack on Kush by the fleeing Kushite citizens.

Founding Myth:
After the Attack on Kush, a small group of citizens from the Republic of Kush, tired of the raidings and the war, banded together and escaped from their old home to found a new one at a place very far from from their old roots. These four original founders were: TheUnburnt__, Strivers, DuskShard, and Beastfrog. They seized the holdings of the natives of the land as their established the Daelyrian Kingdom.

Creating Roots:
After founding the city, Lord Strivers and King Unburnt started construction on a fortress as a royal residence for the High Princes/Masters. It was a old and distorted building made of cobblestone that was of great use till its demolition in 01/05/2021 to build a new royal palace for all nobility. King Unburnt also built a wall around the tiny village (now known as Old Town by the citizens) to keep monsters away. High Prince DuskShard built many things, including the Mage's Tower, and the Lighthouse around this time.

Sterling Crownlands
For a long time, the Daelyrians feared the Sterling Crownlands as they were in the heart of the fallen nation. After a small negociation, with King Unburnt, High Prince DuskShard and the Crownlanders, Daelyria entered the federation gladly and were a part of it for many months till its fall.

Colonization
After the Daelyrians fully covered their home island with their capital city, they went out in the sea to settle new places and established the city of Illerya, founded by Lord MidnightStarss, who renounced his title of Duke of Illerya later on. Illerya quickly grew into a large city around its Shadow Tower (owned by High Prince DuskShard). The title of Duke of Illerya is now held by Duke LeFr.

Another colony established by Daelyria is Ollerya, which is more of a underwater stronghold then a city itself, still being a valuable place for the nation and a center of its infrastructure advancements (train line).

Government
After escaping from Kush and forming Daelyria, they heard the call from Arrax, the King of the Dragon Gods, granting the Four Founders the Blood of the Dragon and the divine right to rule the kingdom. The monarchy was divide between the four founders, with TheUnburnt__ keeping the main title of King and the other holding the title of High Princes, forming what's now known as the High Daelyrian Council, with the addition of a elective role as representative of the people, called Master of Representatives. The King later formed the Noble Council:

Daelyrian Council With the Daelyrian Council for nobles, King Unburnt established the Daelyrian Senate for all citizens matters. There is also the Royal Council composed only by high nobility (Royal family and the High Princes)

Nobility:
The Daelyrian nobility is divided in three tiers: Draconian, Regal and Grand. Draconian is exclusive to the founders of the kingdom, regal is reserved to Grand Duchies rulers, and Grand is reserved for the other levels of the nobility after Grand Duke.
