= The Chapter of Kronos =

The Beginning:
I came into this world impatient (bought the bypass before entering the server), once I had my first view of Rathnir I did not know what to do. My first thought was to travel by foot to the Great Empire of Uldarash but being new to Rathnir I barely knew where to go. Many nations were looking for people to join them and that was when I found where I was meant to be. On August 29, 2021 one of the 'Founding Fathers' recruited me into Zemlya. I remember even then I barely knew what to do, I had travelled in what seemed like an instant into a big but grey city. My only ambition was to become a man who could control the flow of food throughout the world but thankfully it was not meant to be. The very next day I had started to try to build myself a house which was when one of the most influential players I have meant offered his services to me for free, Williametd.

The Next Sub-Chapter
The 'Founding Fathers' had popularized themselves and had control of the leadership of Zemlya which seemed fine with all of the citizens they had amassed. So after buying myself a small plot of land to farm I had begun to create it into a miniature mega wheat farm when OceanWaves had interfered in my project to ask me to make the structure of the farm look nicer, I did not mind to do so and had in fact hired another talented builder by the name of Jayr (yes... Jayr, no misspell) made the farm look nicer and covered it up after I had offered him $10k to do so. I now realize that it was an overpriced job but it went to someone that I can call a friend, a (now retired) citizen of Zemlya. The Senate made up of the Fathers had entered into a pact called the Confederation of Plagos (CoP). The CoP was a failure. The Fathers had gained Zemlyan independence from Baronov with the permission of CaptainNorth370. Sadly shortly afterwards the 'Founding Fathers' had seen it fit as retirement for them leaving Will in charge as the (then called Supreme Chancellor) Chancellor of The Republic of Zemlya.

A New Page
After the 'Founding Fathers' retirement Williametd is left with the position of Chancellor on September 27, 2021. Will had already built and claimed Tybura and made it an official city of The Republic of Zemlya and he left me to be the governor of the city of Zemlya. I was already busy with irl stuff so I barely had any time to take care of Zemlya. Will had already done an amazing job recruiting fresh blood into Tybura during my "disappearance" from Rathnir. As soon as I found the time of my own to start playing again I had started working on projects with a player by the name of Wdulf who had died an untimely death later in the following month or two (not irl, banned from the server). Wdulf was another amazing builder who had started work on a new Senate Building in Zemlya which I myself had contributed to construct some with him. Wdulf had the mind of a businessman and far outdid my beginning ambitions of becoming a food controlling businessman myself. To this day Zemlya has not finished its' period of reconstruction on the capital city. Tybura had an elegance to it which Zemlya lacked and still lacks to this day.

The Chancellor and The Aspirer
After Will had retired from his position as Chancellor of Zemlya I ran for Chancellor against a great opponent, MedicalEnd88. Medical was an aspiring military leader while I was just a Senator who had Will's support in the election for the month of November 2021. Medical gave me a fight for the title of leadership in Zemlya, me being the extreme capitalist with the support of Will and many other Zemlyan citizens versus 'The Aspirer' and his group of close friends. In the end I won the election for Chancellor in November 2021 and was instantly met with political chaos from Baronov and CaptainNorth370's supporters. Unbeknownst to myself Medical and his followers had left Zemlya to find an opportunity of their own while the Baronovians frantically asked for Zemlyan support against a group of squatters

Typical Political Chaos
It seemed that a new sub era had begun, First the 'Fathers' left, then Will disappeared along with Medical. Rathnir became a tougher world to live in. There were less and less people travelling and immigrating to the world of Rathnir and many more nations were clawing at the hand of those immigrants. Every once in a while a diamond from the rough appears and have remained with Zemlya for a long time now. Baronov was still the lord of the autonomy of Zemlya and the small nation was not ready for independence. I begged my citizens to invite their friends, recruit more people and few did. I was new to politics and had kept all of the political decisions to myself but my Senate made of Obsec, Senpik, and Garroth_Vronti focused on the internal economy of Zemlya. We had events for our citizens led under Garroth (Garroth_Vronti) on the reconstruction of Zemlya but still we could not make time to reconstruct Zemlya. Garroth was a true Zemlyan, hardworking and willing to put in the time and effort, he has recently stopped appearing in public for some time now (busy with irl stuff). Obsec was a true economic master, making proposals to bolster the Zemlyan treasury with trade, he has also sadly stopped appearing in public (also busy with irl stuff). Senpik has a Zemlyan spirit, during his term as Senator he was a quiet listener and loyal supporter of me, he is seen in public every once in a while.

The Next Two Pages and Months of the Chapter
Things have still been quiet in Zemlya. I got used to politics and in this month of February 2022 I have opened myself up to including the two Senators of this month into the politics of our continent, where the only things in Plagos may included us. L1ght_Crimson served in January 2022 and still serves as of the time of this writing (February 2022). The latest Senator to run, novaban was met into the political spectrum of Plagos. Both Crimson and Nova have proven themselves as good political leaders, even if Nova voted against me for Chancellor while unopposed (The Senate can hold up to 7 Senators each month and only 2 ran for the position). I had wanted to give up since nothing new or exciting was happening in Plagos but after conferring with Will I still hope to see him return someday as Chancellor and with me as Senator and so here I stay. Two of the Fathers were convinced to return to Rathnir from retirement, CRUSADER_17 and Reptaronice, both of whom would return to the roots of Zemlya, the first city of Zemlya in the continent of Sparwood in or around the area of The Magisterium. Before their return Zemlya had started opening up negotiations to create the Northeastern Rathnir Pact (N.E.R.P./NERP). Zemlya had interfered into the politics of Seaside-Baronov (S-B) with the opposition of St. Acol, Former King of Seaside to the S-B Constitution. In January of 2022 Baronov opened negotiations to the release of Zemlya as an independent State of its' own. The basis of the release was giving Zemlya independence along with the island of Vertrappen as a new Zemlyan territory and to bolster the treasury of Baronov, $500k was given to Baronov and Zemlya had gained its' independence. Mutual Defense Pacts (MDP's) were made with both Seaside and Baronov as individual nations and with the state of the Seaside-Baronov Civil War Zemlya came to the aid of Baronov against the Seaside Acolyte Insurrection with two soldiers, myself and a just returned CRUSADER. Today, Zemlya does the same thing it has been doing ever since myself coming into leadership and retaining it, recruitment for Zemlya.

A New Chapter of Rise
In the middle of February I took more time to focus on Zemlya and finally I had started recruiting to fill up the quite bland smaller houses in Tybura. I was able to recruit maybe around ten new citizens, only one remaining active; Microextent aka Micro was a new member with a great skill at PvP and instantly hit us with what he is capable of, he even trained me some and has made me a much better pvper than I was in the past. Using this quick rise of activity I once again hit off some events (mostly PvP) that would help boost up activity once again. Many players had returned, Uprootedsine, isaacboy505, Obsec, Garroth_Vronti, L1ght_Crimson, etc. (to my many friends that have returned with me). Zemlya finally stood a chance of standing proudly along with it's members in NERP. Soon enough conflict arose in Plagos and NERP reacted to how we were used and betrayed by someone we all considered a friend...

The System of Betrayal and War
The nation of Veldion had been experiencing some leadership problems and had replaced 3 leaders within 2 months and so NERP had offered to help and keep Veldion under Nova-Regna's wing for protection (as Nova-Regna had the most allies and could most easily protect Veldion). Veldion rejected the offers and after further searching all members of NERP found out that a new player that ascended the ranks of Veldion's government extremely quickly was infiltrating us; Wirdplayz aka Nero (the Gardener), a former Plagatean Emperor who had (according to the biased information of NERP members) destroyed communities for the sake of map painting. The only claim that I was able to find for Nero was that he was uniting the continent, a great idea but with a failed outcome. Even after discovering this plot against NERP we still offered to help Veldion, now through more forceful tones though, the plan was to keep the non-Plagatean's (like Adityacraft) in the Veldion government and to stop the Plagatean's from taking over Veldion. Veldion saw these offerings (of forceful help) as too toxic and controlling of them (with ss' of Nova-Regna admitting that they never should have given Veldion independence). Veldion then looked to Kazan for help and protection and so war broke out between the two sides. At first it was a race for both sides to find as many allies as they could, even through payment of mercenaries (such as mercenaries from Aurora between both sides, Goonguard from the Veldion side) and the battle came closer and closer to the day. Alamayn had prepared the magnificent stronghold of Azadi for the battlegrounds and it seemed like Plagos may have had the attention of all of Rathnir for the longest time. Finally when the battle came half of NERP's melee warriors had been unable to participate giving the Veldion-Plagatean-Lunari side the melee advantage of the battle. Alamayn had put in place their secret tactic though, spreading apart the opponent fighters and taking back the capture points of the war when they had enough manpower. As for myself (now that I finally talk about myself through all of this) I was assigned to a tower by myself to protect with a capture point nearby, my tower was the last one attacked and I had held off against 10-15 Goonguard soldiers firing my bow at them until finally I had fallen into the pit behind me from an arrow into my arm, I fell to what seemed to be my certain death until I hit the ground and suddenly appeared back in my bed at my home in Zemlya. The battle went on until finally it ended and no side had won the battle. I was awarded a small award for my bravery against the enemy soldiers in my tower and Plagos went back to a somewhat normal state. From my (biased) view, Veldion's consequence was that they have now gone into a deep and destructive-like Civil War seeing what will happen to the future of Chumon Ito (which is Veldion) and what government type will come on top: the Monarchists, the Imperialist Plagatean's, or the Republican side (being the main sides of the Civil War).

A New Chapter for Zemlya... but it's Zendenia!
After growing closer to the King of Cordenia, BoredPoison we discussed merging our two small nations into one more stronger nation. The talks were small until one day I received a parrot with a letter tied to it with Monarch Poison Azures complaining about immigrants passing through from an entirely different world and not having the space to house them. Zemlya had lots of land and needed the citizens to fill up the space in those houses and so from there talks grew. At first, Cordenia- better yet- BoredPoison had overextended how many people he had but still both nations came together. Zemlya had more land and population than Cordenia but BoredPoison and Arcanekid still held significance to Zendenia's future. Both leaders still needed to decide on a form of government to use and BoredPoison leaned towards having a totalitarian monarchy while I swayed towards my democratic values held in Zemlya. In the end, BoredPoison had met and talked with myself and the rest of the Zemlyan Senate and we decided to go on the route of a Diarchy with a Senate. I wrote up several documents on the government form and the constitution which would consist of the laws. The rulers of Zendenia would consist of the kings at the top which were unanimously decided to be myself and BoredPoison while the Senate would hold power for the people and the governors would hold power in the government as well due to their strong position.

The Avium Federation
Zendenia would form primarily inside of the Avium Federation which consisted of the nations: Zendenia, Solitudinem, and Aurora Novum (which soon after changed its name to Novia). Once again another government form needed to be solved and so quickly BoredPoison and the Novian leaders got in touch with an idea from the Astyllean Empire on what form it should take. It had an overall leader, a second in command, and a council of the rest of the primary leaders of the nations. The defeat at the hands of the united forces of Plagateans and Lunari peoples quickly saw a drop off in the strength of Avium. With KayleeML leaving Avium with her total control over Solitudinem and then a quickly rising fear in Novia from new Chancellor elections. In Novia, Baked_Croissant rose to power by winning the Chancellor elections and then split Novia off from Avium after repeated arguments between him and the council in Avium but some governors in Novia remained loyal to Avium, specifically the city of Black_Hollow. I personally don't remember too much about this time since it was long ago since I am writing this but it ended up with all of Novia going with Baked and then the religious feuds between the Jeropodists and Novian religious people.

Death and Resurrection
I stepped down from being King of Zendenia and instead focusing more on the military. Soon enough, BoredPoison passed away suddenly from an accident involving a poorly made cocktail, the intent on whether or not it was a purposeful death was unknown. In my place, Uprooted, my son, stepped up as king: King Uprooted (uprootedsine246) of Zendenia. Together King Uprooted and King BoredPoison ruled together until the latter king's untimely death. In BoredPoison's place stepped up King Isaac, my nephew. As part of a death also came a time of dying for Zendenia itself. Many people had gone missing, betrayed us, or died. My brother Obsec passed away, leaving his tower of Dradolis lifeless with the small creatures of the earth creeping in. Alongside Zendenia and everything dying, came my death. My family was notified of my death and came to my home in Dorasterrock from where I was drawn by horses through Zendenia and over to my place of rest, Cogmire. Almost in an instant I met Jeropod on the water with bodies of the ignorant's drowning below the water's depths. Jeropod granted me life again and I returned as his holy Prophet. In the few months that I had been dead, some things had changed. Zendenia was under Lunari oppression and so I felt it as my duty to help Zendenia, but to no avail. Therefore I served Jeropod as his holy prophet and helped gather the remaining Jeropodists together, as well as welcoming those into Jeropodism who before were ignorants themselves. Finally, my life had to come to an end and so I took my place in the water to return to heavenly peace.

That is the life of Kronos Azures, thank you for reading and thank you to those who made an impact on his life. Next, I will live as Kronos Azurov.

= The Next Life: Kronos Azurov =

Early Lore Life:
Kronos Azurov was born to Orpheus Azurov (now Orpheus Dandelion) and the daughter of Empress Rosa Luon-Azures of the Lunari Empire. The Azurov's are an important royal family in Bardonia, the Luon family was the Ruling Family of the Lunari Empire, and the Azures are obviously the Ruling Family of the Grand Duchy of Zendenia. As a child Kronos lived in Zendenia most of his life but also went to Bardonia a few months a year to get a feel for what Bardonia was like. For the most part Bardonia was constantly in a state of war so Kronos was kept safe in the grand city of Dorasterrock. Kronos was tutored in Zendenia under his adopted uncle Sir Couch. And he was told of many tales about his great great great great grandfather Kronos Azures who some consider a legend in Zendenia if they hear the name. Kronos mainly learned how to be a leader and be a good steward. In Bardonia though, Kronos was taught how to fight. Kronos seemed to be more talented in the arts of stewardship and much less talented in the art of fighting. However, it seemed that Kronos would become a natural leader...

The First Days and Senator Kronos
Out of character I was brought into Bardonia by my good friend Williametd. Perhaps one of the funniest things is that out of the 5 or 6 places I've lived, I've only lived in a place once that William did not build. Anyways back to the story-

Kronos Azurov finally came to the great city of Dorasterrock and found it amazing, hard workers left and right; a truly thriving community. However, war was on the horizon (seemingly always has been on the horizon). Kronos wanted to feel apart and persuaded by a few friends he ran for the Senate elections for the month of April. With higher political support and other people's support Kronos got into the Senate and immediately tried finding ways to get to work. Emperor Revan Sol was shortly chosen to lead after that and immediately war came on the horizon for Bardonia. The ParaHands declared war on the Bardonian Empire and took only weeks to prepare for an assault on Dorasterrock. It was a headache to evacuate but you do what you gotta do. A Senate meeting was held and Kronos proposed his own idea of trying to prepare the citizens for battle by giving them fighting evaluations and ways to quickly improve their fighting skills. Shortly after starting this Emperor Revan Sol approached a young Kronos and asked if he was willing to lead the Dandelion Guard. Kronos gratefully accepted and promised to serve his Emperor well.

Attack on Dorasterrock
Time got shorter and shorter for the Bardonians to prepare. However, Kronos kept his promise to his Emperor and trained people everyday if he could. Some even declared Bardonia's military better than Bardonia's government, however Kronos still kept to what he was doing and gratefully took the compliments that came his way. Perhaps the most memorable compliment he received was when he was in the town square of Dorasterrock talking and meeting new people when his older relative Unicornboi approached him and complimented him on his dedication and commitment to the military. But the day of the assault and Dorasterrock came and it was a sad sight to witness. Soldiers cut down left and right. Kronos tried fighting but was not skilled enough against the menace known as the Hands, eventually being knocked out in the streets of Dorasterrock by one of them. After the first major defeat at Dorasterrock the general morale dropped. However Kronos still kept on working despite less people wanting to train and the inevitable second defeat at Dorasterrock. Suffice to say the second defeat came to Dorasterrock and the Hands took the destroyed city for themselves.

Keep on working...
(Will continue later on)
