Montrium

The Kingdom of Montrium or known simply as Montrium is a nation in the continent of Arsine that is mostly surrounded by the Sea of Kjoldverd & Arbornic Sea and borders the nations of Goonguard, Eiendom, Durlian & Scylding. Montrium itself is a enigma of a state and is usually shown to be a unstable state due to its populace not figuring out a self governing state that can work on its people very effectively. The nation is going through a civil war and is highly unstable politically but even with this instability the continent the nation is on has been through a lot of history even before the nation was even founded.

Life in the Scar
The continent's history goes way back to the nation of Iron Scar when the nation was founded around Late May 2021. The nation of Iron Scar was a nation apart of the Huitca Commonwealth and was one of the 6 nations that were apart of the Huitca Commonwealth. The leader of the nation was Zonate and while zonate himself was not a political or diplomatic person he still lead the nation poorly for 2 months with little development occuring to the land and only having established 1 town during the month of no activity the nation had grown to around 5 people in the singular town of Mongrim. Right before July a coup was declared by a rouge citizen within the nation to which it was promptly put down by CT-2312 who was the one to protect Zonate at the time of the coup.

From a Scar to a Freehold
Around July 15th MrPancake joined Stoneworks for the first time and decided to join Iron Scar for he saw many adverts and decided to join. Upon joining MrPancake soon realised that Zonate was in nowhere fit to lead a nation and this was amplified by a message he received from Grimmguard suggesting a coup on Iron Scar to which MrPancake said sure. Around July 16 MrPancake set off to form another town called Monzar around the eastern border as a military fort and started building a fort which will eventually become the base of operations for the mayor. MrPancake, Zonate, Grimmguard, & CT-2312 were at Monzar on July 21st around 11pm est and out of nowhere Grimmguard declared the coup and told Zonate he could peacefully step down or he shall take it by force. MrPancake surprised without warning on the coup still helped Grimmguard out and was the one to kill Zonate while CT-2312 remained at the sidelines. After this a 1 hour negotiation happened with the new nation of Grimmguard called The Iron Freeholds & the Huitca Commonwealth began. With the final judgement made as the new nation would be recognized but would remain apart of the Huitca Commonwealth.

Thereby making The Iron Freeholds a sovereign on eldham.

Pioneering Era
With the Iron Freeholds established MrPancake was the 2nd in command without any special role and began to work on diplomacy and expansion to manifest the destiny of what he saw as his nation. Right when the nation was made MrPancake looked east to find Admero highly underdeveloped and only having 1 citizen within it and proposed an idea to them to sell them some chunks of land and they would become a vassal of the Iron Freeholds. This would become the Admero Purchase and would be the best deal in all of eldham History, buying out the nation for a mere 20K$ and annexing some of the border lands. after this MrPancake looked across the ocean and tried to purchase land from the Bai Federation but failed due to inadequate amounts of money for the land. Though this did not stop MrPancake, he heard from the leader of The Encan further north that they were going to be possibly vassalized by the new nation in the north called the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and MrPancake decided to buy the peninsula before they were bought by the A.W.E. MrPancake then later contacted Redfirerex the mayor of the province and talked to Redfirerex about the purchase and settled on around 150k$. Now MrPancake didn't have this amount of money but decided to play the lottery that day and eventually won around 180k$ from the lottery and used 150k$ towards the purchase of the land and bought it on August 5th.

After this MrPancake became exhausted with a lot of the diplomacy and began to phase in and out between August to early November to work on irl subjects believing his work will be taken care of.

The November Troubles
After MrPancake left the nation for a month or so the nation started to lean towards Grimmguard for diplomacy and began to run still as most of the ingame actions were done by MrPancake. This rapid change in ideology from Isolation to becoming aggressive politically caused the nation to almost falter near November when Grimmguard who had talked with Plagatean diplomats formed the Maximus Liberation Army (MLA). The MLA's ultimate objective was to dismantle the nation of Ravenguard which was Grimmguard 's personal agenda. Grimmguard during this time ignored most of MrPancake's new internal policies which allowed the nation to develop property while Grimmguard was focused on the MLA during this time, and had claimed to have many sleepless nights. Though in the end Grimmguard' s plan with Plagatea failed when the A.W.E decided to leave the coalition war which caused a ultimatum from Ravenguard to occur which then prompted The Iron Freeholds to join Plagatea as a protectorate to avoid a war from occurring.

Though Grimmguard never left from his plan to ultimately remove Ravenguard from the map which left to his downfall soon after.

The End of an Era
The end of the Iron Freeholds was sealed when the Sappho-Entente War occurred. The Iron Freeholds was apart of Plagatea to which it was apart of the Sapphire Commonwealth. The real reason for the war has been mostly forgotten the Sapphire Commonwealth ultimately decided to dissolve itself and longside it remove all its protectorates over all of its eldham nations. One of those nations was The Iron Freeholds, though many people moved to cinder, MrPancake decided after he went to cinder and didn't see it as his type so then he moved back to eldham to see the nation go under the Valardom of Vulmire. Though MrPancake saw this change not so bad at the start he realised that Vulmire was a 1 person state and slowly began motivating his friends to start asking for autonomy. Then forming the Duchy of Pancakes, Duchy of Verskia, & the duchy of Seaterra. then in mid January all the states that were apart of Vulmire in the the Iron Freeholds continent became independent as Vulmire could not govern the lands properly.
