Osterion

Østerion was founded about 800 years ago, by two races, Frosbourne fleeing from their realm to escape the Demon Lord and the Humans which were outcasts from the old Empires in the realm of Kylorne. The Founders names are long lost to time, but we do know that they were part of the Ikaros family, which to this day is ruling this nation. Østerion is located in the north western continent of Kavernis, at the snowy shores of the miið viifran ocean.

OOC Founding:
OOC the nation was founded by Stefaaan#6429 and DuskShard#9389 when the 3rd world was first announced, the main Idea being to create a norse and greek mix of a country, which would eventually become only norse. Before the server started, shade#7730 took a large role in organising the nation, and afterthe server release, Clown#9367 would join, and help the nation grow even more.

Government:
Østerion is currently an absolute monarchy, lead by one King with the help of the 3 Councils which are:

║ The High Council ║

The High Council is the most important governing body, elected by the King and tasked to lead the Nation alongside the King. The amount of members which are part of this council is chosen by the King, but all have the same amount of power. Regulary, the High Council is called to a vote by the King or other council members to discuss different topics and questions. Although the High Council is currently only a Guideline for the King, the current regent, Frea Ikaros, chooses to listen to their opinions. The High Council members also take role in foreign diplomacy and meetings with them often being at such meetings.

║ The Low Council ║

The Low Council members are each responsible for different, important, aspects of the nation. Currently there are 4 seats with all of them being chosen by the King:

║ The Lord Council ║
 * 1) ║  » Representative of Internal Affairs: The Representative of Internal Affairs is tasked with creating new laws if necessary and enforcing those as well.
 * 2) ║  » Representative of History and Religion: The Representative of History and Religion is tasked with writing down and documenting the history of our country, as well as expanding the religion and hosting events with our Citizens.
 * 3) ║  » Representative of the White Guard: Representative of the White Guard is tasked with helping the Praetor in organising the military, by expanding the military supplies and hosting training with the soldiers.
 * 4) ║  » Representative for Construction: Representative for Construction is responsible for organising the Construction Team and expanding the local infrastructure, as well as build big projects ordered by the King.

The Lord Council is consisted of the Lord of every town. They are responsible for expanding and organising their towns and their surrounding lands. They also should care about the roads connecting the towns with eachother, and strengthening the bonds.

The White Guard (Østerian Army):
The Precursors of the White Guard are the Scouts, which we´re formed shortly after the Østerian Independence from the Kaverdi Empire. At it´s founding it was only for reconnaissance purposes, and limited fighting against the ice giants in the area. The name was given, because they we´re often operating in unknown territories in the far West. As time progressed their old duties became less relevant as they had to fight against bandits and soon the Empire of Einsiedeln. Today the Scouts are the spearhead and the elites of the army. At 120BSS, shortly after the first Arenburg rebellion, the Østerian leadership decided to found The White Guard because of the rising tensions between Østerion and Einsiedeln. The Army would be founded with 3 Branches.:


 * The Scouts:

The first Branch of the White Guard is are the Scouts, often referred to as "forward reconnaissance Branch" and "special operations Branch". Even tho existing before the creation of an Army, the scouts were incorporated into the new Centralized Military. Even tho they are still named Scouts because of their Original purposes they are very different today. Today they are the second smallest branch and following the official rank system. Their main purpose is to be a spearhead of the Military and to be an Elite force for special Operations but they also are well trained to fight against the numerous Ice Giants in the area. Service in this branch is volunteer but you need to have passed the base training in the Infantry Branch.


 * Infantry:

The Infantry, is the second and main Branch of the White Guard. They are the largest Branch and the backbone of the military, and were founded in 120BSS with the formation of the White Guards. At first they we´re purely defensive so they were often nicknamed "Garrisons" or even "MP´s". (MP = Military Police). After tensions were rising even more, the Infantry founded a sub-branch which are the cavalry units. At 107BSS the Kingdom was forced to declare war on the Empire of Einsiedeln where the Infantry played a major part in the war. Service is mandatory when you turn Adult. You Serve for one year and can pursue a military career after that.


 * Navy

The smallest and newest Branch of the military is the Navy. Founded in 100BSS after the Emerald war, because of a large surplus in resources, it has seen little combat action yet. Because of the recent growth, the navy has multiple frigates and other various smaller ships. Service is volunteer but you need the basic Infantry training.

Equipment & Fortifications
The White Guards are currently using Diamond and Iron armor, with Diamond armor only being used for the Scouts and trained Infantry units. The armor is produced right at Snowspire mine from where the resources for it come as well. When joining the Military, each soldier gets their own armor and weapons which stay State property, meaning that if you leave the Military, the Equipment would go back to the State.

The military mainly uses Swords and Bows to fight and communication is happening trough horses. The meals of the Soldiers are free and are mainly made of: Sweet Berries, Beetroot Stew, Rabbit Stew, Rabbit Meat, Potatoes.

The Army currently posses 4 fortified positions:

By the population, the opinion on the Military is positive and a military career is widely respected amongst all classes.
 * Snowpire: The heart of the Army. Here the high command of all three branches is stationed and the main forces of the Infantry and Scouts. It is heavily fortified with large stone walls.
 * Vijkarg: A fortress in the far north, meant to protect the Kingdom from threats coming from there. Today its being used as a prison for criminals and other scum.
 * Camp Øster: Located betweem Øleos and Niksvallis, this wooden fort is meant to protect the nearby roads and take action against any Bandits.
 * Camp Æteros : Named after former King Æteros, this wooden camp is mainly ment for training new recruits but also to protect the road from Novior to Niksvallis.
 * Camp Frea: Named after King Frea Ikaros, this wooden camp is a small outposts on one of the many roads of our country.

History of Østeron:
(BFC = Before Frea´s coronation)

Pre Server Start:
Pre Kaverdi Era:

After the Frostborune had to flee their world because of the Demon Lord, they ended up in a cold and snowy places, which today is known as Kavernis. There they met another race, calling themselves Humans. To survive in such a harsh enviroment, the 2 races founded the nation of Østerion at about 1300BFC, which was lead by the Forsbourne family of Ikaros. After the founding of some of the oldest towns, the Østerian people found Emeralds in the nearby mountains, and since diamonds weren´t discovered yet, this fueled the growth of the Economy.

Kaverdi-Empire Era:

Einsiedeln - Østerion war or “Emerald War”.
After the independence of Østerion, about 500BFC and the collapse of the Empire, at about 400BFC, large lands, once settled and funded by the Empire, lay now uninhabited and destroyed. Many of these places could be reclaimed or settled by other tribes/nations but a peninsula at the very north east of the continent remained untouched…

At 150BFC Einsiedeln explorers went north and came across a vast snowy land. Disappointed at first that much of it was already inhabited, they looked further east and came across a large peninsula covered by gigantic mountains. In those mountains, the explorers found large emerald veins.On the peninsula, only a few native people who called themselves “Østerian” lived. Unaware that Østerion was a larger nation and driven by the dreams of riches, the Einsiedeln Explorers established multiple settlements on the island and integrated the native population which, at first, were happy with their new home because of the bad economic state Østerion was in.

At 130BFC, new enforcements were placed over the people living on the peninsula, who were mainly Østerion. Most notably growing taxes and forced labor in the emerald mines because of worker shortages. This brought unease over the Østerian population and made the Einsiedeln overlords largely considered as oppressors. Only a decade later, calls for independence from the people were heard. In the first first Arenburg rebelion, the city was retook for a brief few days and renamed into “frenior” which in Østerian means “ Free City“. The city was quickly retook by Einsiedeln reinforcements from the mainland and more and more soldiers were sent to suppress the local population.

At 110BFC, the now thriving Kingdom was in an immense emerald shortage because of its own growth. At that time, the Kingdom didn't have the resources to mine diamonds on a large level so it relied on Emerald tools. Østerion opened contact with the Empire of Einsiedeln to discuss the trading of Emeralds but they were promptly ignored. The Østerian people inside the Empire heard of the rumors of their thriving homeland and like ten years ago the people stood up. At 108BFC multiple cities rebelled with Østerian support under the second Arenburg rebellion. After taking multiple cities, the Einsiedeln elite force arrived with orders to reestablish order at any cost. And the price was high. Hundreds of people are Estimated to have died in the following slaughter which led to the capitulation of the rebels. When news spread to the Østerion Kingdom, the King decided to no longer watch the horrors which the Empire committed but to take action. An Ultimatum was sent to the Einsiedeln empire which said that they should leave the peninsula immediately or they will face war.

The Empire of Einsiedeln rejected the Ultimatum and in the summer of 107BFC the Østerion Kingdom declared war. The Østerion army moved into Einsiedeln land with little to no resistance. The østerian forces split into 2 Parts, with the elite scouts going north over the mountains and the rest of the army south on the way to Arenburg.They took Arenburg in a small fight to take the main Emerald exporter of the province and proceeded to lay siege on the port town of Richesser. With the might of the Østerian army advancing at Hesen, the province capital, and the scouts coming from the north, the Empires situation was bad. Østerian scouts would take Emmindear Port and Ulisan in 2 bloody battles in the fall of the year. The first of the 2 battles, was the battle for Port Ulisan, where the Østerian scouts advanced from the north to the heavily fortified city. The scouts split into multiple groups, surrounding the town while the Østerian navy cut off the towns supply lines with 3 frigates. After the towns garrisons noticed that they landed in a trap, they put all their energy in a last push trough the main gate to create a way for the people to Ulisan, but in Vain. The scouts managed to defeat the Garrisons but with high casualties on their side. Ulisan was quickly taken as ur was lightly defended. The city of Richesser was taken in the winter of the same year by storming into the city trough an underground canal network and now the entire Østerian army was encircling Hessan. Only a small gap was left south of the town with a road leading to a small port. In a last desperate attempt, the province leader ordered an attack on that weak point with his entire army but the Østerians were planning for that to happen. With a surprise attack setup near the port, but it didn’t go as planned. The østerian scout regiment performing the ambush, was completely decimated in a battle against the Einsiedeln elite forces, but it buyed the main østerian forces time to fully encircle Hessen and push the rest of the Einsiedeln army back Into the town, which they would breach in the same winter. After the major defeat at Hessen, Einsiedeln sued for peace with the terms being that they withdraw from the peninsula and have to pay a large sum of money for the slaughter of the Østerian people, in return the Østerian government will let the many Einsiedeln prisoners of War go back to their home country. The war left the peninsula in shambles and today there are only a few of the many towns left but it did secure the Emerald supply of Østerion, mark the beginning of an new era for both Østerion and Einsiedeln.

Tribal Period
(26 June - 28 July|| Year 0 / Month 0 - Year 0 / Month 4 ):

Brother-Monarchy Era:
(26.June - 22.July || Year 0 / Month 0 - Year 0 / Month 3)

(26. June - 29.June || Year 0 / Month 0 - Year 0 / Month 0). Now the Nation is lead by the 2 Kings Frea Ikaros and Æteros Ikaros who allied with the Frostbourne who own the town of Novior in the Region. Soon new settlement would be made, snowspire which is located right at the doorstep of the anæc pøm which translates to Black Mountains, Nexvallis which is located a few hundred blocks away from Snowspire and Øleos which became the new captial of the Nation. The Østerian explorers soon had their first encounter with the native people of the world which call themselves "The Hallowed Lands of Araxis". Both nation leaders agree to a meeting in Novior to discuss their future relation.

(29.June - 1. July || Year 0 / Month 0 - Year 0 / Month 0). Soon Østerian explores met more and more nations on their continent and they agreed on meetings with one them. Its name is the Vanguard. In this time Elviria Ouránios created the first set of Netherite in the Nation.

(1.July || Year 0 / Month 0) The Østerian Kings Frea Ikaros and Æteros Ikaros met with 4 Araxis diplomats Arathane Akesson, Talu, Zuerst and Hashbrownz in Novior to discuss the future of the relations. Narim Kaedil was there as well in the form of a spirit in a jar. Frea and Æteros lead them into the meeting hall that has been recently constructed by Elviria Ouránios. The 2 delegations exchanged gifts, the Araxians received multipole ancient artifacts from the Østerians old realm. In exchange Frea received a mysterious plant grown by the Araxian people and a Sponge harvested from the depths of the ocean. The talks began with the Østerian past and the Araxian reassuring that they have no connection to the Demon Lord. When everyone was done asking questions Frea asked if he could visit their capital which was promptly answerd with a hastly no by all of the Araxian people. After both sides assured that they mean no harm they agreed to another meeting sometime to strenghten relations further.

(2.July || Year 0 / Month 0). After people from the Crown of Elysium randomly found Novior, Frea Ikaros and Elviria Ouránios met with Enduro Shadowstorm and Angelica or "Lamp". After introducing themselves the 4 men and women moved into the meeting hall where Frea told Enduro that he had heard many rumors about Elysium. Frightend, Enduro asked him what kind of rumors but after he told him, he was now suprised. Frea heard stories from merchants who said that elysium is preparing for a war which Enduro denied. After exchanging general information Enduro asked what races Østerion accepts. Frea started by saying that every race except Endermen are accepted but he got quickly cut of by Elviria shouting slurs at the Endermen. Silence Fell over the room. Eventually Enduro asked why Endermen and Frea began telling him that they and the Enderman have a dark past but he got cut of again by Elvira who whispered: "They Destroyed my World..... And many others". Enduro began quickly apologizing out of fear to fall in bad Terms with the Østerian people. Luckily the meeting continued as normal and the 2 parties agreed on a Trade Deal, friendly relations and another meeting in the Elysium capital.

(5.July || Year 0 / Month 1). After an Østerian scout found a small, isolated village in the gigantic mountains in the west, King Frea Ikaros went on his way to meet those people. After some time of travelling trough the frosty desert, Frea cam across the small said village. It was made of huts with roofs out of some kind of fur and they were build around one small fire. Inside the village was only one old man eating his beatroot soup. When he saw Frea he stood up and started talking in a strange language. After a few minutes of trying to comunicate the man started talking, a very bad form of Østerian (which lead to a lot of misunderstandings). Frea introduced himslef by telling him that he comes from another tribe. The old man was suprised that there we´re other tribes. Frea sat down next to the fire and started telling him about other tribes and continents. The old man told Frea that he hear tales of some ancient people to which Frea responded by telling him that he probably means the Kaverdi empire. The old man said that those are fairy tales, as well as the talks about different continents. There is only snow. Frustrated, Frea changed the topic and asked the man if he would be willing to open trade relations to which he responded that his leader has to decide that who currently is on the hunt. At the end Frea gifted him a diamond pickaxe which confused the man even more because he never heard of anything like that.

(6.July-11.July || Year 0 / Month 1 - Year 0 / Month 2) The Kingdom continues to put its efforts in expanding its influence and roads. The old roads connecting their cities were rebuilt and camps, mines and forts alongside them.

(11.July || Year 0 / Month 2) After having sent an expedition to nearby ruins, merchants from the Geld sent another one to the snowy lands in the north. There they found the port town of Novior. Currently in the town, was the King of Østerion, Frea Ikaros. He greeted the 2 travelers which introduced themselves as Piet and Hendrik. After talking for a bit, Frea offered them to move to a farmer space, which is the Novior meeting hall. There, Frea told the 2 men a rough history of his nation which lead to him asking which opinion they had about The Fallen Empire of Einsiedeln and the Enderman to which they responded by telling him that its mostly Negative. Hendrik asked why there were so many abandoned gold treasures in the ruins they visited to which Frea responded by telling him that he doesnt see any worth in gold and he would be happy to trade it. Frea continued with the Østerian history by telling them the story of the Demon Lord and the massacres of Einsiedeln in the Emerald war. After that, Piet requested a tour of Østerion which he became. They saw the many structures of Østerion but the 2 humans noticed that they werent suited for such an enviroment. While looking at the Snowspire mine, Hendrik was attack by one of the aggressive rabbits and got wounded. Frea dragged him to a nearby camp and told the workers there to take care of him until he finished the tour with Piet. At the end, the 2 nations agreed to meet again and Piet was keen on friendly terms and trade agreements.

(11.July - 14.July || Year 0 / Month 2 - Year 0 / Month 2) Construction of the Novior - Niksvallis road aswell as the construction of Fort Øster and Camp Æteros completed. Vijkarg Fortress founded and Novior terraforming started. Øleos expansion started as well.

(14.July || Year 0 / Month 2). After having multiple private meetings with Frea Ikaros, in which they became good friends, Liburne wrote a letter to Frea. In that letter, she wrote an invitation to a official meeting betwen Østerion and the people of Ynys Ruol. Suprised by the, messy but still understandable Østerian she could write, Frea accepted the invitation, and a date for the meeting was agreed opon.

(15.July || Year 0 / Month 2). Frea Ikaros, Astraas and Soldier Issac Marx Zearo III were greeted with open hands by Liburne and her helper Lapis after ariving at Ynys Ruol. The 3 Østerians were quickly lead into a cozy house because of the storm that was going on outside. Inside, after sitting down, Lapis handed over food to the travelers. Then the meeting began with the trade deal which was agreed opon. Østerion giving Ynys Ruol 40 Golden Ingots in exchange for 27 Stacks of Wool and 10 Stacks of Feathers. Seemingly happy with the deal, Librune continued with the actual diplomacy by starting of with a big question: Would Østerion give refugee to the citizens of her nation in case they were forced to leave their land for whatever reason? After a reasonabl ammount of time Frea said that he would give her Liburne´s citizens refuge, but it was never signed down in any treaty. Fairly happy with this result, Liburne continued by telling Frea about her worries of Einsiedeln expanding and seemingly ignoring her tries to start a diplomatic interaction which concerned Frea as well because of the still fresh memories of the Emerald war and the slaughter of the Østerian people. Finally, both side agreed to open borders to one another which will be writen down in a later meeting.

(16.July || Year 0 / Month 2). After organising another Meeting, Frea Ikaros arrived in an Araxian town where he was greeted by Arathane Akesson and Talu Si Gurgi. Arathane brought Frea some drinks and they started the meeting. At first Frea asked some basic questions as well as their opinion about the Einsiedeln Empire, which after Frea explained what they did to the Østerian people, was very negative. On top of that, the Araxian even said that they would help Østerion in case of a war against Einsiedeln. This suprised and confused. Frea but he continued with the meeting. After answering the Østerian questions, Arathane began asking his own. After some basic ones, he asked if Østerion was willing to preserve peace on the continent with some form of loose union of all tribes of the continent and some form of security council. Confused, Frea told him that he had no intentions to start a war, but it would be to soon for such an organisation, because many of the tribes in the Region haven´t been even contacted yet. Surprised of such bold proposals, Frea Ikaros left the meeting. A day later he got another letter from Araxis, this time from the leader himself. He wanted to come to Øleos for another meeting. A few hours late, Narim arrived in the Østerian capital where Frea Ikaros and Lass van Lorien waited for him. They introduced themselves to each other. Frea showed the Araxian Leader inside and the meeting began. After explaining what happened at the previous meeting, Niram clarified much of it. He explained that Araxis is not so keen on expanding foreign influence like Arathane, and that they first need to heal their wounds caused the nameless Duke, but they would still stay in friendly relations.

(16.July - 22.July || Year 0 / Month 2 - Year 0 / Month 3). During this time the revival of the Østerian economy was complete. Houses, farms and other buildingds were constructed all over the Kingdom. Multiple new roads were opened and cities built. This is often regarded as the start of a new era, because of the growth of the Østerian population and Economy.

Era of Absolute Monarchy
(22.July - 28.July || Year 0 / Month 3 - Year 1 / Month 4)

The autumn Coup:
(22. July || Year 0 Month 3)

In the autumn of the first Year. Frea Ikaros and his son Castellan "Clown" Ikaros met up in a secret meeting in the capital of Øleos. They didn´t invite any other government member intentionally because they would talk about a very important matter, the disposal of King Æteros. Due to him "not carrying his own weight" how Castellan described it, King Frea thought that it would be best for the nation if he stepped down. In the secret meeting, a few hours before the white guard would storm the royal palace, Frea and Ikaros discussed the plan once again. Even tho both of them knew that Æteros would most likely step down on his own, they had to make preperations. Frea´s son, Castellan, who was in charge of the White Guard, secured the Leadership and Forts of the Army, as well as the Personal guards of Æteros and ordered the moving of many important documents in the royal palace. The Plan was simple, the scouts, the elite unit of the Army, would take their best soldiers split them into 2 Groups of 20 and one of 10. Group 1 would move through the front entrance and make their way to the section of the palace where King Æteros was residing while Group 3 would secure all the rooms in the palace. Group 2 would stand outside the palace and look for hidden soldiers and defend the other 2 Groups in case of a counter attack. While that happens, Frea and Castellan would go into the Bedroom of Æteros and give him the option of resigning, or being arrested. In case he refuses, Group 1 would storm the room.

A few hours after the last meeting, when the sun went down, the 40 soldiers, Frea and Castellan Ikaros set off to Øleos to set the plan in motion. They arrived at the Royal palace when it was already dark and the Soldiers split up. The plan was in motion. The Palace was Guarded by 30 Guards in total, with 10 of them being asleep. Since the Guards swore absolute loyality to the King, they weren´t informed of the Plan so they had to be taken down silently. Group 2 split up into groups of 5 and went arround the palace to eliminate the Guards one by one while Group 1 and 3 moved into the main corridor. No alarm by now. Group 2 would start taking down Guards on the inside while Group one continued their way to the Living Rooms. As Frea and Castellan approached the door to Æteros bedroom, they could hear the doors being kicked down by the scouts to secure the rooms. Taking a deep breath, Frea opened the door and stepped in...

"Are you finally here to remove me from my power?", Æteros asked after they stepped in. "Yes, Brother, we are. There are 40 scouts in and around the House, your Guards are all killed or Unconscious. Step down here and now or...", Frea began. "Or what?", Æteros asked, "Do you want to kill me? Torture me? Go on, i don´t care. I lived a happy life, if it makes you happye then I will step down here and now." Frea was suprised, but happy and handed him over the document they prepared. After the last drop of Ink touched the paper, a new age would begin for Østerion...

(22. July - 26.July || Year 0 / Month 3- Year 0 / Month 4). In these few weeks, after the autumn Coup, the Kingdom focused it´s resources even more on building. Towns were greatly expanded and new infrastructure was constructed.

Kingdom Period:
(28 July - Not Ended Yet|| Year 0 / Month 4 - Not Ended Yet):

King&Preator Era:
(28 July - Not Ended Yet|| Year 0 / Month 4- Not Ended Yet):

(28 July - 18 August|| Year 0 / Month 4- Year 0 / Month 7). Not much is known about this time period since many records of this time have been lost to the large bureaucratic reorganization of the Kingdom, but the main happenings are still known.

After Frea´s son Castellan Ikaros, was placed in position of Preator, and the right Hand of the King, the Østerian economic boom began to show. New towns were founded and the Kingdom could finally finance the Østerian Navy properly, which lead to their dominance over the surrounding ocean. The Østerian dominance at sea, lead to an ally of Østerion, the Kingdom of Ev, to become a vassal of Østerion. The news of the new state finally arrived at many different places in the world, and so, the Capital of Østerion was home to many diplomatic meetings, most notably the Østerion-Araxis NAP, and the vassalisation of the Kingdom of Calwindern.
