Anglunia

The Kingdom of Anglunia is an elective tetrarchy situated in the mid-west of Eldham, on the continent of Maccanar. Anglunia is also a part of the Western Central Union.

Pre-History
Before humans settled on the peninsula of Mirau, a type of Ice Elf (Western Hyakki) roamed the northern regions of Mirau. This region is also known as Nefelis. Eventually, humans migrated into Eldham, widely populating it. Many humans arrived on Mirau, mixing with the Ice Elves and driving them out of their homeland.

Currently, pure Ice Elves have been wiped out in the peninsula of Mirau. Only mixed races of Ice Elves and humans remain. The Western Hyakki that once populated this vast land have carried over some of their genes into humans. Mixed races are a minority, however, and are way less common than humans.

Founding
The humans settling in Mirau formed civilisations, short-lived, unadvanced, and were colonized by Viodoxa under the Osteri Plagosi Trading Company (O.P.T.C.). This all changed, however, when the Three Great Founders, QCoffee, PrinoBots and ErneSurdus first set foot on what is now known as Mount Arros. They looked out over Nefelis, and decided to settle there. Isaz was born. With their bare hands they built its keep, strong and impregnable. Over time, Isaz grew into a grand city, a hub for trading in all of Midwestern Eldham.

The Three Founders built their keep with a dream: to make a grand nation, Anglunia. King QCoffee, the king of Isaz, made a deal with the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa to buy some land, finally granting independence to Anglunia. A lot of money was paid, yet Anglunia was still small in size.

Viodoxa Purchase
Myrtle, the only settlement of Viodoxa in Nefelis joined Anglunia, and the leaders of Anglunia pressed Viodoxa for their land as none of it was being used. There was a threat of war, but the Great Lords settled it with diplomacy, as they would do often in the future, paying a heavy price. Welpish, one of the Great Lords and Johnny D. Jackson, one of the Anglunian council members, paid the most.

Andoran-Lechjan War
Seeking powerful allies and wanting a stable region, Anglunia joined the Western Central Union. One of its members, Andor, led by King Rand Al'Thor, declared war on another member, Lechja. Rand Al'Thor justified this by stating that it was too sparsely populated. The Western Central Union fought together in the war, and two battles were fought.

The Battle of Logos was a decisive victory for Lechja, thanks to Welpish defeating most of the enemies. Right before the battle one of Lechja’s leaders attempted to postpone it, leading to many Anglunians not participating. It was a close battle, for if Welpish hadn’t participated, all would’ve been lost.

After postponing the battle for a long time, the second battle came. This time the Western Central Union struck at the heart of Andor: Caemlyn. Many Anglunians participated, and Johnny D. Jackson, the current Viceroy of Anglunia, convinced Cofko, a citizen of Caemlyn, to breach the wall and let the attackers in. The battle was easily won by the Western Central Union, and Andor completely collapsed. Following the war, Anglunia received more than half of Andor’s land, excluding Caemlyn. Lechja also dissolved shortly after and Anglunia received even more land, including Logos.

Anti-Anglunian Coalition
Anglunia has made many enemies in through the course of history, and some of them decided to form an Anti-Anglunian Coalition. Rand Al’Thor, having fled to distant lands, allied with Commodore Rossa, an old enemy of Welpish and Anglunia. Unbeknownst to them, Raptor002, a veteran citizen of Isaz, was the one to create the coalition. He was frustrated with Anglunia for them not giving his settlement of the Black Citadel independence.

Anglunian leaders got word of the coalition and grew paranoid, closing recruitment following a grand theft done by an insider. This insider also claimed there were more, which would turn out to be true. For a long time nothing happened, until explosives were found under Otgard Castle. After careful evaluation, the perpetrator was found to be Raptor002. The Anglunian leaders declared war on him. Realizing he was outmatched, Raptor002 made an agreement to be banished and to transfer his ownership of the Black Citadel over to PrinoBots. The Anti-Anglunian Coalition was assumed to be dissolved.

Environment
Anglunia is a mostly cold country, with taiga and snowy mountains in the north. Further north, however, reveals oak forests and plain fields, perfect terrain for farmland. Mount Tarras, the tallest mountain in Anglunia, is located in the middle, to the southwest of Isaz. Further south lie more oak forests. In the enclave received from Lechja is a great desert, part of the Greater Mirauan Desert.
