Takumakken Empire

The Takumakken Empire, (Takumakken meaning, "Homeland") was founded on 11/29/2020. The Taku people were previously in a distant land and moved to Syltör in search of refuge from a hostile empire.

The empire is defunct as it was divided and annexed by 4 other nations on January 24th of 2021.

Treaty of Smaugonik
In the first hours of settlement, the neighboring nation of the Aurlûnor Velande had overlapping claims with Takkumaken. Potential war was about to break out over this. This led to the treaty of Smaugonik, where the city of Sokalis was allowed to stay on designated swamp land that was ceded by the Aurlûnor.

On January 18, 2021, Sokalis was formally annexed by Aurlûnor following the talks between Link0Pasta and Coffeeccubus, and the concerns about Takumakken's sovereignty due to Aurlûnor aligning with Bardonia. According to Bardonia, this was claimed to be an act of fear about Bardonian might, but the Emperor, EboyHotman aka King Krow, denies this, and states that "We were going to give it to Aurlûnor anyway, since Link abandoned it.". This claim was confirmed in character by Coffeeccubus' character, Sareariel Lelya-Earcala, who under the use of the Imperial Military's broadcast, states that the city now belonged to them, and that it will be renamed to Helemar. Due to Aurlûnor's ban on all other religions, the Cathedral has been demolished to be replaced with a Twin Dragon temple.

Due to this, the treaty is considered invalid, due to the signatory no longer owning the land that surrounds the swamp, but it is still in place to allow free movement in the swamp alone. Link0Pasta also was given dual-citizenship in later December of 2020 as a gesture of good will between the two.

Partition of the Takumakken Empire
The Partition of the Takumakken Empire was an event that occured between January 24th 2021, and was concluded on January 27 2021. The land was divided between between the 5 nations of Aurlûnor Velande, Norfthorn, Viridian, Andorn, and Ryzan.

Although the last emperor of Takumakken formally brought an end to the nation, a successor state to the Takumakken existed for a short time around this period, capturing the city of Kaluko.
