Abstract
The ancient civilization of the Eleanor Realm was a large multiethnic empire brimming with Eldham natives. These Ethic natives divided themselves into factions to represent themselves in court matters. However, as factions grew in power so did their skirmishes which led to civil war. Only two factions rose from the ashes: the Aquatanians and the Wolfin people. After organizing their people, the last two factions formed proper towns and nations with Aquatanians forming the nation of Aquatania with Wolokia serving as its capital city.

-=-The Blue Lotus (Aquatanians)-=-
They're a group of Aquatanians, who settled in the desolate northern regions. Members are very secretive, shrewd, violent and prideful, they abstain from politics as long as the court does not interfere with their sea fairing. They primarily specialize in war and Sea fairing with skills in trading, building, mapping and scheming. You likely will not see them unless your in their region or in the capital, as they do not stray far from homeland unless they are sea fairing. You may find ancient relics along the rivers and coast lines, following them will lead you to their Glorious statue "Diane."

=Statue of 'Diana' the embodiment of the lotus, and the Great Peasant Rebellion=
The statue was built after the mysterious invasion from the east sea. From translated stone and Runestone carvings, we can safely assume that Diana was a Wolfin member who was washed ashore upon Wolokias beaches. She was treated with a mix disdain and interest by the populous, this was at a time as the generations Aquatanians who stood by since Eleanor are long gone. As evident by some officials journals, the only people who had a clue on who she was were decedents from court officials, who snuffed exploring and communications near Eleanor proper, those who did were quietly disposed of.

Her appearance served as a blessing in disguise as the Aquatanians were soon invaded by a mysterious force who strangely used ancient Aquatanians royal war ships. We do not know the exact details but the majority of the lore community agreed that these were an organized group of bandits who looted Eleanor. Diana fought with the military against the bandits however as she was thought of being inexperience which was not true as Wolfins are natural born hunters. Diana was primarily sent on rescue missions, by doing so she saved a great number of people due to her increased agility and speed as a Wolfin. Saving enormous amounts of people made her famous

Diana was locked up by the officials out of fear that she was a spy which angered the populace, the officials did not back down. Note that the methods on how the court manages those who interacted with the ruins of Eleanor were publicly exposed. What occurs next is a inconceivable massive peasant rebellion. We do not know the specifics but it seems as if the military supported the rebellion. The rebellion was a success, many officials commited suicide upon hearing the mobs calling for their deaths just outside their homes, a slight minority of officials tried to fight yet ultimately failed. The military wrote a heavily militaristic favored constitution, making the last officials useless but kept as a ceremonial title for historic reasons, and also ending the century long court government system.

Diana was officially released from her cell however was found dead, standing up with bent knees, holding a great-sword that kept her balanced. Next to her was a dead official who is believed to have tried to kill her during the rebellion. Diane was memorialized in a statue that reached world height, as a great women who came upon a strange land, saved the populous in a war she did not have to join, yet suffered in jail by the hands of the court officials.

-=-The Iron-Forged (irerenes)-=-
A group of dwarfs that live mostly underground as the majority of them mine and craft, being underground allows them to focus on their works. Irerenes are well-known for their craftmanship, technology and underground buildings. They are commonly depicted in books as having small apartment like houses on the surface, with underground rooms twice the size of what is seen on the ground. From the skies you could easily find their community as their houses are not stylized and have a blocky or flat coloured complexion.
