Realm of Escharia

The Realm of Escharia is a nation which rose from the ashes of the last Escharian civil war (Aksemesai), which split the East and West (who were reformed after the fall of the Imperium and occupation by Paragon). The Western Lands, Lileanen, Andorn, and Wivamovia make up this formation. The land is currently ruled by the Seqerie Royal Family, and managed by the Lily Council.

Timeline
The history of the land is convoluted and has had many reformations of government and re-naming as lands have joined and left the nation.

Kingdom of Necrazel
This was the original nation seceded from the Imperium as Yazov departed the empire. The land remained a city-state for several months (while Yazov was an Admin). This nation included the land of Ardat Azael, Tessel, and Lileanen. The nation reformed when Ardat was sold to the Lusarii Imperium.

Akratium Niedea
During this era, Lileanen and Tessel were peaceful, and focused on rebuilding from the ashes.

Kingdom of Nieden
The city-state rebranded and took on a new name to be more appealing to neighbors (as Akratia had returned in the south, and even though it was meant to be a meme, it changed cause nobody likes Akratia). Gentumar joined during this time, reuniting the holy relics of the east. As well, the Kingdom of Nieden was vassalized by Bardonia. Andorn joined during this time and provinces were split into Andorn and Wivamovia.

Present Day
The Realm of Escharia was founded as another rebrand while under Bardonian vassalage. During this time, Yazov purchased the city of Losestrei from Bardonian hands and split the Western land of former Escharia with Simulami. At this time the remaining former Escharian lands were annexed and further vassalized by Simulami, resulting in Lyras Soleari.

Soon after, on November 29, 2022, the Realm of Escharia declared independence from Bardonia peacefully. It now remain peaceful and focuses on growing internally.

The Lily Council is the group of trusted advisors that assist in decision-making for the country. The Noble Court is a series of families and prominent society members which assist in daily running of the nation.

Religion
The different provinces within Escharia have different levels of religious liberty. In the Corelands, Soleannen is mandated, but there is free religion in the Crownlands, Andorn, and Wivamovia. The Western Soleannen church is estranged, but not split from the core Easterners. The more fanatical sects of the religion allows for the persecution of non-Soleannen worshipers.

Culture
Escharia is an old and established nation with rich history and lore, centered around morality and the family being the center of society. Music and festivals with dancing are often held throughout the land, celebrating Soleannen holidays or gathering for an occasional market day. The acceptance of all races and cultures is highly encouraged in the capital, the nation's largest city. Beauty and cleanliness are aspects often valued amongst society.

Formation of House Seqerei
Seqerie is Arete for "Martyr" or "Fallen," as the creators of the name both have been outcast from highly dignified royal families and governments, and joined to create a new dynasty of peace and growth for Escharia. Nicholas Yazov an Akratii, son of Yazov an Akratii, the proprietor of Lileanen, was the son of the Last Akratian who rose to power. Aelin an Aurorii, daughter of Aurelian an Aurorii and Aerith via Sinclair, and first princess of Aurora, had left her home nation after rejection and betrayal. The two met as Aelin was travelling under a pseudonym, and they fell in love. Eventually, they eloped, making Aelin the queen of the Realm of Escharia. The couple has no children.
