Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire

The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, commonly abbreviated as AWE, is a nation born of the union between the nations of the Ashtrokan Deguaran and The Wandenreich.

Provinces
There were a number of provinces that formerly made up the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, mostly based around a single major city. After a decline in population growth, several of these provinces voluntarily merged together to grant themselves more influence over the less developed regions. The current provinces are Steigen Province (red), Wandenreich Province (blue), Ashtrokan Province (yellow), Bostadia Province (green), Willowreach Province (brown), Encansavia Province (orange), and Volas Lunam Province (purple). Many of these provinces formed from the territorial regions of older nations that joined the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire The oldest provinces are Willowreach, Ashtrokan Province (formed from the regions of the Ashtrokan Deguaran), and Wandenreich Province (from the regions of the Wandenreich). Ecansavia is the merger of two former nations (Cansavia and Encan) that were protectorates of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire Bostadia was formed from the former regions of Vandalah. Volas Lunam is a refuge created by the vampires of New Yoake.

Silbern
Silbern is a metropolitan city of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire Silbern was founded by the first Grand Falcon, Franz Kaisser I, on the riverbed of the Silberfluss. It's location was picked due to it's cultural and religious importance to the Silbernites, but it proved to be a strategic location too. Silbern could grow into a sprawling city, using the Sea of Refuge for trade and the navy. It's location is also one of the most central points in the whole empire, making it a hub for roads and trade routes.

The construction of Silbern was a joint-effort between Silbernites and Falconians, some conservatists raided the settlement during it's construction but their numbers declined drastically with each passing day. Both cultures had one thing in common, Grand Falcon Franz Kaisser I. He, a Silbernite by birth, united the two cultures and strengthened this both even more by converting to Quincy after his meeting with Dietrich.

After the fall of Grand Falcon Franz Kaisser, and the instatement of (coolworld03), the responsibility of watching over Silbern fell to Sir Bohhy Von Kirknell, who has seen the city grow under his leadership.

Aktala
One of the former two capital cities. Previously capital of Ashtrokan Deguaran. Aktala is home to the inner city (a city carved out of a mountain range) and the heart sanctum, a principal location for the lore of Natuae, as well as the Astrukan's place of residence.

After yoissy's appointment of Goomson as his heir to the throne of Astrukan, Aktala has taken over as the heart of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, housing most if not all of the funds for the nation in it's vault, and being where taxes are processed for the rest of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire.

Original Steigenbirge
We do not know who the first inhabitants of Steigenbirge were; the prevailing theory is that the inhabitants belonged to one of the Silbernian tribes which occupied these lands before the arrival of the Falconian refugees. What little we do know about the inhabitants is shrouded in mystery. The tables were set, with food now long decomposed, seemingly lying there, as if ready to be eaten. Furthermore, there did not seem to be an effort to pack up what resources they did have, ruling out an emigration by the native inhabitants, which would have otherwise seemed normal. There was no rush, no evidence of an attack, nothing pointed towards a willing or forced removal. The original Steigenbirger seemingly vanished without a trace. Leaving behind a handful of buildings showcasing the original architecture style of the native Silbernians, which has continued to influence the architecture style of modern-day Steigenbirge.

-From the writings of Aelius Draekar

Modern-day
Modern-day Steigenbirge is not the collection of huts and small dwellings which made up the Steigenbirge of old. Contemporary Steigenbirge is an urbanizing city. Inspired by the architectural style of its former inhabitants, Steigenbirge still pays homage to its Silbernian past.

Steigenbirge is a net exporter, producing cheeses, alcohols, agricultural goods, and minerals for the rest of the empire to enjoy. The resulting environment is one of great pride and love by the residents toward their city. Having proliferated, the Steigenbirger now hold a position of influence in the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, holding two senate seats in the legislative body of the empire. Moving forward, Steigenbirge hopes to be an example of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire's ingenuity and determination.

History
Steigenhaven previously known as the city of Beornshaven was founded many years ago by a ruthless tyrant. He forced heavy taxes on his people and used his citizens in forced labor to make himself rich. After years of abuse many citizens fled and the mayor eventually was left with no one in the town but himself. Clutch a new settler in the empire of the A.W.E came to the mayors of Steigenbirge wishing to build a city within the area. The mayors informed him of a city ruled by an evil tyrant that he could take over....

Clutch with funding from Steigenbirge took over the city from it's evil mayor and destroyed its ugly building. With the help of its previous citizens who had come back to help defeat the mayor they rebuilt the town and had great success, in honor to Steigenbirge who funded them they citizens declared the new name of the city to be Steigenhaven...

After many citizens had returned and the area was built up the previous mayor was jealous. He wished to attack the city and he knew just where to attack them. When the citizens were away working the evil man had went to slaughter their sheep! He killed all but a single sheep the now famous "Steigen" sheep, it survived his brutal attack in just enough time for the citizens to rescue it....

The mayor Clutch than declared the patron animal of SteigenHaven to be the sheep, a simple animal that represents the triumphant of rebuilding the town to a new prosperous city!

Chapter Two

A couple of weeks after the tale of Steigen the Sheep. . . The mayor Clutch was told by the emperor 'build a great city, with markets, and our imperial navy!' after being told this he had gone to work, building up a market and building a port to hold the imperial navy, the largest navy in all of the world. It was the dawn of a new era for naval dominance in the world, with the A.W.E dominating the waves with its massive fleet and controlling a inland sea referred to as 'The sea of refuge’, the sea of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire Ambitions grow and so did Clutch's, being appointed as the Imperial Admiral of the fleet of the A.W.E, soon after being appointed he had one goal for the sea. A simple goal. The Reich WILL dominate the waves. Up until now it has, with this new naval era the eyes of the world are now set upon the oceans as much as their lands.....

-Excerpts from the writings of a local Steigenhaven scribe.

History
A shipwrecked captain and his wife found themselves on Eldham, a year before any official documentary was made by a Rathnirite. The captain and his wife made a house inside a mountain, and had a child. Eldham natives had discovered the house, and saw how different it had been from their castles, which were actually early silbernites and leehhtarkan settlers, decided to join. This was the official founding of Adamentem. Years past, the captain had died from a disease and his son, Diamond, had taken his place. Due to war threats, constant raids, and general fear, he had the town annexed by the recently formed Ashtrokan nation. Time continues to pass, Diamond is not happy with the land lost, no resources being sent, or help with battling bandits. After speaking with his council the town left Ashtrokan which sparked a short war. Adamentem rejoined Ashtrokan and had Diamond dethroned, his right hand man CaB taking over. After being bee-ified, Diamond returned to Adamentem. The leader CaB had been infected by a disease. It spread across the buildings, ravaging the citizens and animals. An organization blew the town up, inadvertently spreading the disease across the East, but saved the town. Diamond retook its leadership role as mayor and now continues to rebuild New-Adamentem.

Melvaren Curse
After the explosion in Adamentem, the Diamondism temple, a religion long gone, was destroyed. Once reconstruction began, citizens reported mysterious sightings of a ghost, with a cabbage as its head. The ghost isn’t reported nearly as much now, the last sighting being weeks ago. But, that doesn’t mean he isn’t watching.

History
The city of Willowreach was founded by outlanders LilSperm and AzureTech0660. They were new to the world of Eldham and decided to settle beside a giant willow tree by a swamp, hence the name Willowreach.

They followed the swamp, and found a small glade that was nestled between two hills. They built a small settlement right on the glade out of blackstone, wood, and stone. The village grew slowly over the days, gaining new members with responsibilities of being farmers and builders.

One day, Yoissy, the leader of the neighboring nation of Ashtrokan Degauran, was on horseback while exploring the borders of his great nation. He chanced upon the settlement and left instructions to contact him. After intense discussions between the leaders on both sides, the mayor of Willowreach agreed to be part of the Ashtrokan Degauran nation. Shortly after, Ashtrokan Degauran and Wandenreich merged to form the great Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire.

Description
The town is currently led by the mayors, the founders, and is a town for artisans and the creatively-inclined individual. The town has multiple structures cantilevered from the edges of the hills and others that are built on the hills. Another feature is a deep cave carved into the mountains which now serves as a community shop and storage. There is also a great meeting hall for the village council to discuss matters and tribulations. The town is also a tourist destination due to its scenic topography and unique architecture. The city is surrounded by a large swamp and various mountains. A large blackstone tower serves as a watchtower at the front of the village. It is a place for scouts to observe potential threats and to alert the Mayors. The hills that surround the town is native to many species of animals.

Geography
The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire borders multiple seas, oceans, rivers and mountain ranges. These natural borders helped the nation by protecting it from invading forces in the past. Many different biomes can also be found in the territories of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, with some of the most beautiful and breathtaking locations, both natural and man-made, being housed within its borders.

Notable landmarks include the "Hand of Gaia".

Silbernian
Silberian is the oldest language of the two Wandenreich languages, having been here before the Grand Falcon returned with the Falconian people. It's seen as the most formal of the two, usually being used for names and ceremonies.

Falconian
Falconian is the youngest language of the two, as it got introduced when the Falconian refugees followed the Grand Falcon to his homeland. It's commonly used for informal conversations between citizens.

Ashtrokani
Ashtrokani is the oldest major language of the Empire, spoken mainly in the north of the Ashtrokan province. It is the main language of the servants of Gaia and can commonly be heard in the underground cities and temples of the north.

Other Languages
The Empire hosts several smaller languages and dialects, the most spoken of these are the Cansavian Language and the Tythonian dialect, in close third is the Encan language. All these minor languages have been declining in recent decades due to the Citizens associating themselves more with the United Empire than the old kingdoms that once made up the land, influx of settlers from the Imperial Core has also led to the 3 major languages becoming dominant in the regions where the minor languages were once spoken, many expect these languages to go extinct in everyday conversation within this century.

Government
The government is a constitutional republican diarchy, with ultimate authority split between the Grand Falcon (currently Coolworld03) and the Astrukhan (currently Goomson). Many of the nation's decisions have to pass through the senate, a branch of government consisting of citizens elected to represent the interests of the provinces they are from. The government is defined and follows a few set documents, mainly: The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, The Additional Governance Bill and the Imperial Legal Code.

The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire upon its creation had a feudal style government, where the Provinces were ruled by the local elites according to their local laws and customs. Many provinces cities were granted high levels of autonomy with nobles allowed to participate in the Central Imperial Government without elections. The Central government was made up of the High Council - inherited from Ashtrokan Deguran, the Senate - Inherited from Wandenreich(formerly called the parliament before being renamed to the Imperial Senate) made up of regional representatives elected for 1 month, The High Imperial Court - 1 to 5 judges serving for 2 months, the Diarchs: Astrukhan - The Highest Priest of Gaia and the Grand Falcon - the King of Wandenreich, they were helped by the Gadukan - the Right hand of the Astrukhan. Elections were regional and followed a system inherited from the Wandenreich that greatly favored established politicians and elites.

The Government structure of the Empire and the administration as a whole would see great changes during the Yoissy-Inferno Reforms named after the Minister of Internal affairs- Inferno and the Astrukhan - Yoissy who would initiate and oversee them. The government was streamlined, archaic titles and positions removed, red tape cut and the election system was reformed to give all equal power and stop unpopular holdovers from previous parliaments to hold office without winning their races in their provinces. The High Council also was reformed with each member being assigned a ministry and executive powers to carry out their tasks, but the High council was removed from legislative affairs, no longer allowing its members to vote on laws, with this privilege being reserved for the senate only. The Gadukan was also reformed to be the heir and second highest authority in the Empire after the Diarch Emperors instead of simply aiding the Astrukhan. The reforms also stripped local authorities of their vast autonomy, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs building a large bureaucracy, allowing the empire to be run centrally, with mayoral councils and provincial governors being disallowed from creating laws. Many regions had to be wrangled in for months with the local nobility being integrated through various ways, with local fiefdoms and noble domains now erased the empire was reorganized into centrally defined and run provinces which could be reshaped by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as needed with their governors and mayors also becoming elected/assigned positions. The Courts were also reformed to give them a concreate structure and they were expanded to also create local and provincial courts in addition with the High Imperial Court, entry into the legal system now required one to pass the Imperial Legal Exam.

The government soon expanded to account for the large increase in population and land, with the full list of ministries expanding to become the following: With various agencies such as the prosecutors office, The Imperial Propaganda and Shitposting ministry(unofficial) Imperial Quick Response Force and etc. assisting the Imperial Government and Ministries in carrying out specific tasks.

The Capital of the Empire has changed several times, with the Current seat of government Being Steigenhaven, but the government temporarily still meats in Silbern due to the new Imperial Senate Building still being under Construction.

The Empire is undergoing Constitutional reforms since mid December with the government mostly amending old legislature and passing new laws while the constitutional reforms are still in progress, with wide sweeping reforms being expected lacking to the Yoissy-Inferno reforms, this time lead by the new Astrukan - Goomson(previously the Gadukan) in cooperation with the Senate and the High Council.

Early Empire
The nations of Astrokan Deguran and Wandenreich merged into a single nation on the 29th of July 2021, the nation adopted an interim government made up of the Ashtrokan high council, Wandenreich parliament, the Astrukan of Astrokan Deguran - yoissy  and the Grand Falcon of Wandenreich - TheOtakuKaiser. The decision was made as the two states shared a long history of cooperation and followed similar ideals and foreign policy: mainly that of pacifism, neutrality and focus on the happiness of their citizens.

The merger would happen during elections and as such the election period would be continued with many new politicians emerging and many established names failing to garner votes. This would result in the government voting to suspend elections with those failing to garner votes successfully managing to convince others that it would be better to formulate a constitution for the union and hold elections after they were done as new faces wouldn't have the skills and experience to handle such matters. This would result in the frontrunner politicians:

A young officer from the military - viktheviking and a newly arrived businessman-landowner - TheInferno fire, leading a movement to have the elections recognized. After successful protests and appeals to the Astrukhan and Grand Falcon, the election results would be recognized and the peoples chosen candidates would take their seats in the new government.

Vandalah/Bostadia joins the Ashtrokan-wandenreich state on the 30th of July as a protectorate as a result of many squatters and criminals threatening the security of the state

The merged nation would choose the name Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire in a public referendum on the 31st of July

Stone becomes a protectorate of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire on the 4th of august

An Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire strike team is sent into Bostadia, they successfully manage to locate and detain the leader of Bostadia Mr.Pierogi, Mr.Pierogi is deposed from his position as king of bostadia due to his gross incompetence, criminal negligence and total disregard for the prosperity of his lands or the lives of his citizens. At the same time the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire starts working to resolve the critical situation in its western protectorates, mainly: their lack of proper administration, lack of defined borders, fractured communities and large amounts of squatters/illegal settlements. Mr.Pierogi is allowed to appoint his successor.

Encan and Cansavia join the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire as autonomous regions on the 7th of august

On the 10th of august the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire finalizes its founding documents with Senator TheInfernoFire and Astrukan Yoissy being the authors of the 3 founding documents: Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Additional Governance Bill. These documents set the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire as a Constitutional Diarchy with one monarch, one high priest, an elected/appointed high council and an elected senate.

Bostadia integrated into the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire on the 13th of august after Mr. Pierogi's successor turned out to be an inactive person and Mr. Pierogi had become second in command, effectively ruling the country again. Mr. Pierogi attempts to rename the country to Bostad and fashion himself as tsar while promising to fight the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, but his citizens unanimously vote to join the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and as such the country is integrated peacefully. With this the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire solves the crisis in the south west, defining Bostadia's borders properly and integrating or kicking our squatter settlements.

Following the Integration there is a small border skirmish with the new state of Santochi following several Santochi politicians deciding to leak private conversations with the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire as well as the markers denoting the border between Santochi and Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire being moved further into Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire lands. A quick response force is sent to the border lead by Inferno and Archeon, with the latter entering into talks with Santochi and eventually resolving the situation, de-escalating tensions and returning the border to its original state.

The Empire starts to go through a population boom gaining a minimum of 80 citizens a month every month.

The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire enters into alliances with Aristios its long standing ally, and a recently formed state to its east - the Zamotz Union, with this alliance evolving into the triple entente on the 17th of august with Aristios being the leading member, the alliances intended goal being to counterbalance and protect against Ravenguard - the aggressive superpower of the day.

The Empire goes through many reforms with old titles such as minister of technology being abandoned and older politicians being replaced, mainly with xeno being appointed as minister of defense, xeno would lead reforms by helping centralize the army, alongside his generals vik and archeon, the army would start occasional trainings as well as secure resources such as potions, brewers and sets. The Minister of internal affairs - inferno also begins the construction of the Imperial bureaucracy, police, courts and provinces. This begins a set of centralizing reforms, streamlining the governance of provinces and lowering or stripping autonomy of noble estates and lands autonomous for simply historic reasons, with the new increasingly centralised empire being governed by a large bureaucratic apparatus of governors, administrators, employees and the minister. The High Imperial court is also established and the Legal Code of the Empire adopted by the senate, Minister of internal affairs, as the author of the code, conducts the first legal examination and afterwards the emperors and senate appoint the first 3 high judges of the empire: Juh Kun, Dominic Graykey and ProKommando, with Dooth Mool becoming the first Imperial Prosecutor at the same time.

Stone dissolves due to internal factors and squatters with it being split between the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and Soolia, the Grand Falcon - TheOtakuKaiser allows Soolia to take certain lands from stone without prior consultation with the Senate.

Due to the aforementioned incident as well as the growing discontent with the current Grand Falcon due to various reasons such as inactivity, overstep and not following of protocols and procedures the Senate and Astrukan vote to deposes TheOtakuKaiser but allow him to chose his own successor, with him choosing to pass the FalconSteel Crown to his son Coolworld03, otaku would be enshrined in the hall of fame as “the First Falcon”

Around the Same time internal development is split off from the Ministry of Internal Affairs due to the latter having increasingly more work managing the censuses, province resizing, administration and well running of the empire, with Mylnric being chosen as the new minister of the new ministry of Development. Soon regional coordination between cities and provinces is split off from the ministry of development due to the ministry of development also being overwhelmed with constructing the vast and comprehensive infrastructure network of the empire, with maximal being chosen as the new minister of regional planning. The two new ministries would start great public works with the empires infrastructure networks being combined and expanded greatly, with Mylnric overseeing the construction of roads, highways, nether highways and iceways all over the empire with the main roads being improved and renovated both for style and efficiency. The empire soon reached 300 citizens.

Unity Challanged
Following the ascension of the new Grand Falcon, the Astrukan becomes temporarily incapable of attending to imperial matters, thus leaving the governance of the empire in the hands of the High Council which acts as a de facto regency council while the new emperor learns the ropes, with the most senior high councillor, the minister of internal affairs acting as regent, helping the new monarch get acquainted with the new position.

The minister of defense - xeno, would retire, earning a place in the imperial hall of fame for his distinguished service to the empire, he would be replaced by viktheviking an officer that had server his entire career in the imperial military. Xeno and TheOtakuKaiser (now senator) would request the founding of the ministry of lore of culture which would be granted, otaku becoming minister and xeno the second in common - High Scholar.

On the 28th of august the Empire celebrates Unity Day, commemorating the founding of the nation, due to problems(server problems) the celebrations are delayed a week, but finally debuts with the it holding markets for both imperial and international merchants, boat race competitions, parkour, guided tours, bars, restaurants and pvp competitions. The event is briefly interrupted by an organized bandit raid which is successfully fought off by the Imperial Army lead in the battle by Gadukan Goomson and High Councillor Inferno. During the guided tours the empire uncovered a horrible secret, the population of encan and majority of cansavia had disappeared. Countless patrols and investigations were concluded with many returning empty handed and some, specifically those sent into the encan silence(the jungle) never returning. They were reported as "Consumed by the Silence:, with this being presumed to be the fate of the encan citizens as well. The ministry of internal affairs and the ministry of development would jointly begin a repopulation project, with Inferno appointing a new governor for the encan province, this marking the end of the provinces status as an autonomous region, with cansavia following suit, both provinces were now integrated provinces and new settlements and forts were set up with the new governor - admiraldalai a distinguished businessman beginning the process of encan repopulation which would see the province become an active part of the nation once again. .With the Event ending with the Coronation of Coolworld03 as Grand Falcon and a state dinner between the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire government and delegates of its allies - Zamotz and Aristios. At the end of the dinner TheInfernoFire announces his resignation and is granted a netherite sword and the first ever medal in the empire - distinguished service award by the minister of defense - viktheviking for his service to the empire.

In the last week as minister Inferno founded the Imperial Police Force and Imperial Security Service, with a young police officer - GangstaPimpLimp being appointed as police chief due to his good service.

The Imperial Police handles its first case as a city in the empire - Strulengar is attacked by the anti-ratist coalition, with both parties being summoned and eventually outlawed after continued lawbreaking and provocation.

One week after him announcing it to the government, Inferno resigns as minister of internal affairs asking the senate to make an exception and replace him with 2 people, both holding the title of Minister of Internal affairs - juh kun the HIgh Judge and GangstaPimpLimp the Police chief, both good comrades of the previous minister. The Senate and emperors accept the request of inferno with the two new ministers starting their terms immediately after infernos resignation. Eventually juh kun would resign from the position leaving Gangsta as the sole minister. Despite his resignation Inferno would still be allowed to keep his title and position in the government alongside Gangsta even though he was not present, having had to leave to tend to matters in hell, he would earn a place in the hall of fame as “father of law”

Inferno would be recalled from retirement to aid in internal affairs and external affairs.

The phoenix crisis would soon start, many lutum nobles escaped to and lived in the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire with the empire latter supporting the restoration of lutum and taking them under their wing as a protectorate, this would form a strong bond between the empires which still persists today, with many in the empire seeing lutum as their brother state.

The government had increasingly drifted apart with one faction led by Xeno wishing for a more old school style of imperial government and the prosecution of those they considered to be corrupt and the second faction led by the draekar family, specifically archeon who wished for more reforms as well as a more dynamic foreign policy. Inferno and Yoissy would attempt to mediate the conflict which they had managed to do in the past but with tensions raising and both becoming increasingly busy the tensions boiled over when a senate discussion about nobility and the granting of noble titles exploded with Otaku and Xeno attempting to launch a monarchist coup managing to illegally detain and throw out several senators out of the senate chambers, but failing to garner support as well as the declaration by several ministers such and senators such as Vik, archeon and Inferno that they would see any illegal coup crushed saw the end of the insurgency, while otaku was detained xeno fled to his city - Leehtarka where he proclaimed independence. The short lived leethharka crisis would be resolved when Inferno, yoissy and xeno managed to negotiate a peaceful resolution, the city rejoined the empire with a new mayor and xeno agreed to face free and fair trial in the empire where he would be sent to the lutum sand mines as a punishment. Archeon would retire as minister of foreign affairs, earning the title “The Watchful Eye”, with Aelius draekar becoming the new minister.

Soon inferno would retire again, this time forfeiting all his lands and titles.

This period would see the empire undergo another crisis as many old politicians and mayors would band together into the lost ideals movement, which intended to be peaceful but after some time many members of the movement would try to secure the support of the military to achieve their goals and potentially launch a coup, amongst them would be xeno who had returned to imperial politics, the coup attempt would be uncovered by police and the perpetrators arrested and punished xeno would be exiled from the empire along with other high ranking members of the coup while many of the others would face smaller sentences and would eventually rejoin politics, many considered the actions of the police to be too much and overstepping the authority, this would start a movement to have the minister of internal affairs replaced.

The post Leehtarka and lost ideals movement crisis empire would see fewer and fewer judges appointed which stressed the judicial system, allowing law enforcement to become judge, jury and executioner in many cases, the recent attempt at a monarchist coup would also see the power of the monarchy temporarily decreased as the senate started to handle more and more affairs, Otakukaiser as well as other royals involved in the coup would be tried for and found guilty of treason and executed, The Grand Falcon  Coolworld would be the only member of the royal family to survive as he had stood on the side of his government and had helped put down the illegal coup attempt. The increasing power and overstepping of the internal affairs minister and law enforcement would see gangsta demoted to police chief and mr.pizza draekar being appointed in their stead.

Inferno would be recalled again in order to help with reworking the constitution, he would join to see the world changes, with the Triple Entente having become the dominant Eldham Entente which was undergoing preparations to set sail to Rathnir, a war which the empire would play a key role in, providing resources, men and defending ardat. Inferno and archeon would rejoin politics, with Archeon becoming senator while Inferno would be elected as High Judge and aid in revitalizing the imperial court system, the imperial courts would go back to retroactively shoot down past laws of the senate which had been unconstitutional, and with the senate declaring a state of emergency and granting yoissy, the astrukan, emergency powers to help restabilize the empire the monarchy would also regain its strength, returning the empire to balance, this all would help bring the empire back into full efficiency, with Vik the Viking retiring as minister around the same time earning the title “the Empires Shield”, his reforms having turned the imperial military into a better organised and professional force, he would be replaced by oscar draekar who would continue and ramp up the buildup of the imperial military. Yoissy would soon retire from his position as well earning the title of “The progenitor” as he had been seen as the father of the nation, he would note that he was proud of the country he had built and was happy to see that even without him and even through the many absences he had had, the empire ran smoothly and properly and despite the many crisis and problems it had remained one of the most stable, efficient and democratic nations - being so even in its darkest moments, appointing his Gadukan and second in command -Goomson as the new astrukan, the senate would also repeal the emergency powers act and the empire would return to its normal state with the each part of the government running efficiently and the balance of power being checked by the now revitalised and strengthened court.

Xeno would also return to the empire and be allowed to run for office as the court had removed many of the laws that had barred him from doing so due to them not falling within what was allied by the constitution, however xeno would continue his antagonistic actions, being exiled from the empire for a final time and his statue in the hall of fame would be removed as his later actions had forever disgraced his earlier legacy.

Falcon Wakes
The Empire, which had resigned itself to isolation in its corner of Eldham, started to better establish itself. This was exemplified when it declared its first ever war against the Second Empire of Plagatea in order to restore order to the historic lands of the Kingdom of Stone and protect the Stone Culture which had been oppressed by the local authorities of the region, the conflict, which had been deep rooted since the overreach of TheOtakuKaiser in giving away historically Stone lands with only vague promises from the other side, would escalate into the First Eldham World War as the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire was backed by its allies in the Eldham Entente and Goonguard, while Plagatea would be supported by the Sapphire Commonwealth. The War would eventually be resolved peacefully with the majority of the Historically Stone Lands being Incorporated into the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and friendly relations being established with the New Soolian Government. The aftermath Stone Crisis would see the Empire strive to take its rightful place amongst the Great Powers of Eldham. It would reach out to many of its smaller allies and neighbours and provide them military and financial assistance, some of them would join the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire as protectorates.

After the Second Stone crisis was resolved the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire found itself entangled in the Former Lands of the Iron Freeholds, where it would establish protectorates and aid the region in creating a stable and long term peace, eventually culminating in the creation of the Hegemony of Montrium -  close ally and protectorate of the A.W.E who would come to control the majority of the region.

The Policy of Protecting smaller nations from aggression and oppression would be expanded to more than the local region with the nations of Tempesta, Helos, Samora and Sinteria also being taken under the Falcons Wings.

To accomodate the increase in foreign interactions the Armed Forces of the Empire would undergo Major reforms, turning them from a force of self-defence into a mighty army capable of projecting the power of the Empire to far away lands.

The Empire would also flex its military muscle in a conflict against the Peoples Republic of Merconis where it came to aid its allies of Visio and Lutum against the expansionist and imperialist ambitions of xpotatoes, the Onthukan Defence force - which would be founded by the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and its allies in the war would come out victorious and establish the Onthukan Pact, with the Empire becoming one of its Major Members, assisting in keeping peace and Stability in the Continent of Onthukan. In addition with the Pact, the Empire would sign several seperate cooperation agreements with its neighbors such as Santochi, Zamotz Union and Vespera(Union of Visio and Lutum)

As the landscape of Eldham Changed and so did the goals of the Empire the Eldham Entente would be disbanded, but the Empire would keep good relations with its former members, signing treaties of cooperation with several of them. With the Military alliance between Uraka and A.W.E Being the formost of such agreements. As an aftermath of the actions of the Empire and other major players the world of eldham would be set into a multi-polar world with the Superpowers of Uraka, Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, Goonguard becoming the strongest powers in eldham, while the Onthukan Pact took the place of the Eldham Entente as the foremost alliance network in ELdham.
