Tsarindom of Auralich

Auralich is a new island nation in Eldham, which inhabits the island of Tsarsgard. this island is newly formed, and is the reemergence of a dead continent which sank below the waves in the final days of the second Foraith war, otherwise known as the war in heaven.

Government
Auralich is a constitutional monarchy, with two heads of state. the first head of state (and the most powerful) is the Tsarin, who has the absolute final say on disputed matters, can hand out punishments and rewards without trial, controls the upper military and all wartime matters, including declaration without consultation of the council. The second head of state is the Sovereign, who handles all civil, domestic, industrial, colonial and diplomatic matters on behalf of the Tsarin.

The Right Hand is a group of up to five advisors hand picked by the Tsarin to use as council. they can be from any race, ethnicity, nation, religion or trade. they assist the Tsarin on making fair decisions across all subjects and events in order to keep the people represented.

The left Hand is a group of up to five advisors hand picked by the Sovereign to use as council. they can be from any race, ethnicity, nation, religion or trade. they assist the Sovereign on making fair decisions across all subjects and events in order to keep the people represented.

The Grand council is a collection of the rulers of each major city, colony, race, and religion, along with the Tsarin's privateer fleet and merchant corps.

The Reignsmen are an elite military division who are the handpicked best from across all of Eldham. they are given rich gold-lined purple uniforms, educated to the same degree as the nobility, given their own room in the Grand Barracks, and are loyal to the people of Auralich above all else. they act as a colonial and territorial force which is often tasked with more difficult military expeditions and campaigns, forming the vanguard of sieges, landings, invasions and pillages.

The Stasiguard are a loose organisation of state-allied researchers, explorers, spies, scientists and bards who research and assist in the carrying out of grand projects on behalf of the Sovereign. they reside in the College of Tsarsgard, which they work tirelessly to fill with lore, information, studies and private secrets from across the known world and beyond.

Before Founding
Before the formation of Auralich, the island was an uninhabited land that formed the entrance to the underrealm, an ancient kingdom that rose and fell long before the earliest Niedene civilisations began. The Underrealm is a system of caves and caverns below the earth, believed to be a separate, godly dimension by its inhabitiants, the Tudenan. these Tudenan were a once thriving civilisation that spread in sparse settlements from their origin in the south-east to the central northern-most point of Eldham, becoming a decadent and stagnant race before their collapse at the hands of the Foraith, another powerful ancient empire. while the Tudenan are now nearly extinct, there are a few remaining. namely, the current Tsarin of Auralich, Robot.

While the Tudenan slumbered in their great ivory cocoons, a new nation was building on the island above; Rathbad, home of the last Foraith. this ancient evil scorched the land, and sealed the home of the Tudenan away from the world with a great obsidian door.

It was not until the first settlers from Rathnir began to explore Eldham that these Foraith actively became aggressive however, because as soon as they came into contact with a small group of Niedine they slaughtered them, consumed their bodies, and threw the remains into the sea after mistaking them for their sister race, the Tudenan. After a few years of bloody conflict however, the dozen remaining once great and powerful Foraith, now emaciated and mortally wounded, entered a hibernation state, their bodies becoming great blackstone pillars which can still be visited to this day.
