Second Uraki Imperium

Uraka, officially the Second Uraki Imperium, was a nation formed by the Drak Yamar Imperium, Simulami Empire, Valreach, Merchant's Guild of Osria, Rodinnport, and the Zamotz Confederation during the year 250 TE. It dissolved after a two year war in 261 T.E.

Foundations
In the days of the First Uraki Imperium, The Simulami Empire had been one of their most loyal allies. Tylics, the leader of Drak Yamar, a former Uraki domain on very good terms with the leaders of Simulami. After the dissolution of Tylicsville, a joke nation which he had formed with Simulami and other nations, They considered creating a real merger, which would go under the Uraki name.

The reason for the creation of a new Uraka was to give the citizens of the founding nations an increased military strength and economic ties as they had been isolationist and declining for a long time.

The Purchase of Stoneguard
Stoneguard was once a part of the Domain of Arkatania in the First Uraki Imperium. The Second Imperium claimed this land, which created a great source of tension between itself and Eleanor, a dying country ruled by the Parahands, seeking to sell off unruly, distant territories and centralize into a new nation with its loyal vassals, which would become known as Iveresteiya. Stoneguard, being a source of tension between Uraka and Eleanor, was offered to be sold, an offer that Uraka eagerly took, along with a non-aggression pact. Stoneguard therefore entered the Imperium as a Domain.

CATO Invasion of Uraka
On 7-31-2023, in the Winter of 259 T.E., after Shardtron of House Osria, at that time Lord Protector of Osria made a series of insults and percieved threats towards the Confederation of Garxijos or C.O.G. lead to the rump state that was left of the once great democracy to declare war upon Uraka.

This was quickly followed the following Spring of 260 T.E. by a declaration of war from the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, which had territory near the C.O.G. and shared several members of government. After this declaration, the General Secretary of the Celestial Accords Treaty Organization, or C.A.T.O., decreed that the alliance, of which Sylvania was a member, would support their war against Uraka.

This brought in the powerful countries of the A.W.E., which was currently occupied with its invasion of Atlechia, Ashai, a massive industrial juggernought in the Northwest, Anglunia, a country currently suffering its monarch going insane and dying and causing internal conflict, and Iveresteiya, a country ruled be the powerful mercenary company, the Parahands. Together, C.A.T.O. was very powerful and posed a serious threat to Uraka, as they had been threatening to attack the Imperium since its inception.

Aiding Uraka in their wars were several nations such a K.O.E.L., an expansionist nation at odds with the Parahands, and Atlechia, valiantly fighting off an A.W.E. invasion. Some territories in the A.W.E. also rebelled against imperial rule. Additionally, the mercenary company Goonfeang supported the Imperium, and House Sterlingcrest gave 7.1 million gold in aid, with donation in the hundreds of thousands from many others.

The Simulami Secession
While there had been great optimism about the war effort from many citizens, at the beginning of 260 T.E., the Simulami Empire left the Second Uraki Imperium of fear of a war with C.A.T.O., for which many scorned the nation. Shortly after, its four vassals that had joined the Imperium with it soon left in the following month. After this, there was a great amount of strife in Simulami due to conflicting views over the secession, which many viewed as cowardice.

Stoneport Revolution
Shortly after the Simulami Secession, a relatively unknown aristocrat hatched a daring plan in the city of Stoneport, the most populous and prosperous city in Stoneguard by a landslide. He snuck in the night, turning hearts and minds in the city, and then, he destroyed the claims of the city and declared himself the ruler of an Independent Stoneguard. While Stoneguard remained loyal nominally, the rest of the Domain offered little to the realm besides the great city, and the rest of the Domain practically ended communications with the capital.

The Secessions of 261 T.E.
Now, in the Summer of 261 T.E., the Rodinnians of Portnorth and Fort Jorm declared their intention to join the K.O.E.L., Urakas ally. Just as before, the Imperator, Tylics allowed the secessions to prevent more conflict. Later that season, Tylics no longer wished to work to fight the enemy, and abdicated as Imperator. The Drak Yamar Kingdom left the Second Uraki Imperium with him, though some southern lands, Drakkenheim, remained. Afterwards, Shardtron declared himself Imperator, controlling the capital and being the wealthiest noble in the realm.

The Reign of Shardtron
After the abdication of Tylics and the loss of Drak Yamar, Shardtron became the new Imperator. With the problem of war on his hands and few citizens remaining loyal to Uraka, Shard took up the challenge of rule confident in saving Uraka. He immediately began conversing with his people, taking account of who was loyal, and promising to continue the war.

The Second Secessions of 261 T.E.
In Autumn, fresh from the abdication of Tylics and the start of the Reign of Shardtron, the Zamotz Commonwealth declared themselves independent of the Second Uraki Imperium, severing all diplomatic relations with them. In the same time, Stoneguard also declared themselves independent of the Empire. However, the recently new Imperator, Shardtron opposed this, disputing the two territories.

Later, Velerin was annexed by the V.V.R. and without solid military grounds to oppose the countries of Zamotz and Stonguard, the Imperator could do nothing but watch as the remains of the Imperium crumbled away.

Left with only the empty territories of Drakkenheim, the smaller islands of Rodinnport, and the capital of Urak, Shardtron began making final plans for a potential defense of the empires remnants, polled his population on the war (This showed only 1/5 of the population wished to continue), and took council with his remaining loyalists. Meanwhile, a small force pledged their allegience to Uraka and the Imperator, while debates raged within Urak over whether they should make peace, or fight to the last.

The fall of the Imperium
In the Fall of 261 T.E., Castell Sterlingcrest has announced that the recent Imperator Shardtron has been overthrown, through a coup, causing the dissolution of the Uraki Imperium and all of its institutions.

The Great sacking of Urak

By that time,Urak has been center of Urakas armorys and residence of Shardtron ever since old Velerin days,and under Shardtron it evolved into biggest town on Stoneworks as a whole,its foundations more ancient & older than time itslef,with wast amounts of welth(given its citizens were some of the most influential people on Stoneworks such as Neo,Imperius,Shard & other mercinarys).

Imperator Shardtron intended to fight to the last city,and by then Urak was one of the last citys and would soon become target of CATO.In prepirations for war claims activity has skyrockeded and armorys have beein filled to the brim,contracts with allys and mercinarys aleredy made,it was only matter of time when war would come to Urak.But then the "great betrayal" had happend

Supported by Castell Sterlingcrest & opp Aronx4b,former friend and one of most trusted member of Shardtrons inner circle-Coochieb had betrayed Shardtron & Urak by couping it and getting claim for himself,what followed was one of the biggest sacking of all time on Stoneworks

Some sources say that around 80 milion worth of stuff was stolen that day(most from Shardtron & his armorys)

City was left defensless and in ruin,many historycal builds were griefed/ruin(some of builds were: Winteroses Libary,Cupacreeper memorial,Laponset Castle,Hohhenstein Castle),subsequently all citys beacons and other items of walue were robbed,and no one has paid for it to this day
