Areveyi

Areveyi is an Aellonsyrdom (Province) in the nation of the Kingdom of Anglunia, which is located in the Mid-West of Eldham, on the continent of Mirau.

Founding
The Capital city of Areveyi, Bagrat was founded on June 3rd, 2021, by its former leader, Shah of Areveyi Artof. Artof was able to purchase the land that the city sits on from Lechja who willingly allowed him to settle after peaceful negotiations. The city quickly gained hard working citizens who were all unified under the desire to make the city rival those found in Rathnir.

Early Struggles
The city of Bagrat was weakly defended, and so bandit raids were common to the settlement. During theses times it was decided that a city wall should be built. Shah Artof gave the task to one of his citizens Its_Echo who non-stop built the walls that surround the city today. During these early days, the Andoran-Lechjan War took place, in which the nation attempted to remain neutral, but after much considering and worries of being next to be conquered, entered the war on the side of Lechja.

With the great influx of settlers, many nations were dealing with squatters. Areveyi was not an exception, and after diplomacy broke down with the squatter group known as Oblock, war with the squatters broke out. During a pre-emptive strike on Bagrat, Its_Echo was attacked, but with the help of friendly bandits the attackers were repelled. After the failed attempt to seize the city, the squatters gave up and left the region.

Steps Forward
Areveyi would continue to flourish over the next several months in relative peace as its citizens built the Grand Palace of Bagrat, the small council building as well as many other buildings and roadways throughout the city.

During this time, Artof went out into the world seeking a religion that was worthy of calling Bagrat its home. His journey took him across the great sea to the old world of Rathnir where he made his way to the nation of Solisios and brought back the religon of Lux.

After this epiphany, Artof made it his goal and the role of every following Shah of Areveyi to make the city a religious bastion that would contain all the possible religions and find harmony between all peoples. The opportunity to be a religious beacon of light in the chaotic darkness of the warring Eldham was an oppurtunity the Shah could not refuse.

Artof soon constructed the first temple in Bagrat which was dedicated to the goddess Lux.

Downward Spiral
On September 7th 2021, Tragedy struck the Gracedom as it's Shah Artof, suddenly and without warning passed his scepter to his second in command Echo and left the server for personal reasons. The nation was fell into a state of disarray as Artof had been the reason for many players of the core players to continue building in the city. As much as Echo tried, the nation like many others fell into a time of chaos. The start of the schoolyear in real life had brought chaos to the once populated city of Bagrat. Construction halted, and finding any citizen during daylight became near impossible.

Areveyi was not the only nation to struggle, as many other nations began to fall into the clutches of semi-active nations.

It was at this time that Shah Echo was approached by a close ally from the Soolianic Congregation, BlockNutBoi. Areveyi was offered to join a fledgling alliance know as the Greater Eldham Alliance Reach or G.E.A.R. With the opportunity to stave off aggressive nations, and to give himself enough time to sort through the pieces of the once booming nation, Echo accepted the offer, and became one of the six founding nations.

Disrepair and Union
The Greater Eldham Alliance Reach failed to bring life back to Areveyi, and on December 21st, 2021, Shah Echo announced the acceptance of the nation into the Kingdom of Anglunia, with Bagrat becoming a city of the nation, and Shah Echo giving up his title and replacing it with that of Aellonsyr.

The citizens of Bagrat worked hard to be accepted into their new nation, with citizens building roads, making maps, and running for senator in the elections. Shortly after the elections, wherein citizen Tariq of Bagrat was elected to the Vindyi, Aellonsyr Echo announced that he would be passing his scepter to the recently elected senator, Tariq Aljaradh, to represent Bagrat's interests.

Unsurpassable Weight
Within his first sennight of being Aellonsyr, Tariq reinstated the title of Shah and pledged to bring Bagrat to the glory Shah Artof had dreamed of, and to make the desert town the finest jewel in Anglunia's crown. During his rule, the village of Bagrat grew even as the walls and palace fell into disrepair. After being named Minister of Culture for Anglunia, Tariq struggled to balance his duties as Shah, Onsyr, and Ardvahyr. During his tenure as Minister, more words of the ice elven language were discovered and decoded. He attempted to pass bills that would curb drugs in the kingdom, and to reinstate festivals for the Yirsi gods, but all failed to pass through the senate. These failures, along with demands from the crown that he couldn't meet, began to take a toll on the Shah's health. He withdrew from politics, remaining in the city of Bagrat even as messages from the Chancellor demanded he come to the capital for Vindyi meetings. He was fired from the position of Minister, as he had trouble communicating with the new Yirsidan. With his city and health on decline, Tariq sent a letter to Isaz, informing the crown of his intent to abdicate.

The End of an Era
The Chancellor of Anglunia reviewed the city and its populace, and in the next census it was listed as a Tilonsyrdom, instead of the Aellonsyrdom stipulated by the Anglunia-Areveyi Merger. The city was then granted to Aziren Feivar-Nuwan, who would rule Bagrat not as a Shah, but as a Tilonsyr.

Shah Artof
Shah Artof ruled from June 3rd, 2021 until his abdication from the throne on September 7th, 2021. During his reign the foundations of Bagrat were built, including the grand palace of the Shahs.

Shah Echonaris
Shah Echonaris "Ardzagank" Verak'at (Its_Echo) ruled from September 7th, 2021 until his abdication on January 25th, 2022, when he set off on a pilgrimage into the Great Sand Sea. The stability of the nation continued to decline under his rule despite his best efforts. Echo built the walls and several farms in the city of Bagrat and was the workhorse of the infrastructure of Areveyi.

Onsyr Tariq
Onsyr Tariq Aljaradh reluctantly accepted the leadership of Areveyi after receiving the unexpected news at a dinner for the newly elected Vindyi, on January 25th, 2022. He eventually abdicated to go on a pilgrimage as the Shahs before him did on June 23 2022.
