Vulpinia

Founding
Vulpinia was originally a small town founded May 1, 2021 by NuncioNull_. Vulpinia, also known as, "The Autonomous Region of Vulpinia"

Vulpinia was originally located in the mountains south of Floramia near Aesperium Nidea. The settlement only had a few members though quickly grew from 4 to 11 people in 2 days, the original foundation was based on the values of honesty and cooperation, welcoming new members every day which has kept morale of it's people high.

History
The first Vul town in Rathnir was Vulpinia, which was established on May 1st, 2021 by unknown people from the East. The people in the area called themselves the Vulpur or Vuls for short. They were led by a descendent of an Ancient God King, Nuncio, who interpreted the divine law of the land straight from the voice of the Pantheon. The Vuls worship several foreign Gods, unknown to Rathnir. It is said in the Ancient Scrolls of the Nabu that the chosen people would someday find a Sacred Settlement, which was promised to them by Vuldeus, their Patron God. This is what Vulpinia, the original Capital City, was intended for.

On May 6th, 2021, the people of Vulpinia were forced to abandon their land, culture, religion, and current government to submit to Floramia. Due to the fact that Floramia, was nine times their size and had their allies supporting them the Vuls fled to new lands in Najer, forming the new town of Neavulpur which currently acts as capital to the Free State of Vulpinia.

On May 8th, 2021, an old council member, known as TBNRFRIEND124, was removed from a seat at the High Council. This was due to constant conflict, corruption, and toxic behavior; however, TBNRFRIEND124 was allowed to keep the rank of citizen. Hours later, people from Neavulpur noticed items missing from public chests; this included 38 diamonds. After a broad search, the Council found out that 2 of the stolen items were stolen by TBNRFRIEND124. He was found guilty after publicly admitting that his plan was to flee to another town with the stolen items. He was exiled from the Free State, therefore, casting a permanent bounty on his life. Further, in the traitor's place, the well known builder, known as SpecterRed, took the place as the Candeus Patron (fifth councilmen).

On May 11th, 2021, Nuncio, Xen, and a citizen named Frog were greeted at the front gates of Neavulpur by Dmitrio von Sturgeon, the leader of Najer, and followed him to the capital city of Najer, Wobambi-on-Sea. When they arrived to the city they conversed in the council chambers on the freedom of Vulpinia. During the meeting it was agreed that Vulpinia would remain an autonomous region; however, in the case of war or diplomatic action on the Najer people, Vulpinia would be called into action as a vassal under Najer law.

May 14th, 2021, the town of Captainia was established by Captain Westeros, a high council men of Vulpinia. Captainia is the first vassal town of Neavulpur and seeks to be a stronghold for the Vulpur people. It is known as the Southern Province of the Vulpinian Peninsula. Other names Captainia is known as are: Sutherland, Towers or Captown. The town is known for its large towers and gates elevated over the walls that surround the town. It’s current land owner, Chief, is Captain Westeros.

Religion
The Vulpur religion, known as the "Nabu", is unique to the culture of Vulpinia. The Nabu refer to the Vulpur Pantheon as divine law passed down from generation to generation. The Nabu includes the God's:


 * Vuldeus - The Patron God of Vulpinia, and Father of the Vuls.
 * Candeus - Goddess of Humility and Good Harvest.
 * Lupdeus - God of Wrath and War.
 * Lycandeus - God of Diligence and the Four Winds.
 * Hyandeus - God of Mischief and Death.

In this age, the most prominent sect of the Vulpur Religion is the Cult of Vuldeus. This is due to the Patron God's dominance in Vulpur Culture.

Government
The Vuls are ruled by five members known as the High Council. The council members must be chosen by the Council Chief. All five council members directly correctly with the five major deities of the Vulpur Nabu. This Council is the top authority on Vulpur affairs, managing land, overseeing their town(s) and recruiting for the military. The first High Council was formed on May 4, 2021. Four of the five members were present: NuncioNull_, Rando_Xen, AngryPigeonN1, and TBNRFRIEND124. CaptainWesteros was added to the council an hour later.

The Council Leader represents the main deity, Vuldeus, and usually has final say in disputes and votes among the council. Current High Council Members and the God's they speak for are:


 * NuncioNull_ speaks for Vuldeus.
 * Rando_Xen speaks for Lupdeus.
 * AngryPigeonN1 speaks for Lycandeus.
 * CaptainWesteros speaks for Hyandeus.
