Valondor

The Foundations and Roots of the Land
''To get to how and why The Hierarchy of Valondor's culture and way of life is in present time, we must go back long go, to the roots of this ancient land. Only then will Valondor's way of life, Culture, Environment even, will all make sense.''

Old Native Land:
Long ago, the inhabitants on the lands of what's currently known as " Waldblume " was land where Primitive' natives lived on the land, bordering the Free State of Tortuga. Tortuga was a Nation filled to the brim with Piracy but even then, they came to the Natives bearing gifts, teachings, and even offered them to join Tortuga as a City-State for infinite protection! But the natives didn't appreciate what the Tortugans offered, and took it as a threat to their lands, and did something so foolish, it costed them more then just their lives, but also the end the ownership they had on the land. The Natives attacked The Free State of Tortuga and very swiftly, the natives were gone. With all of the Natives gone Tortuga claimed the lands and named it Cyrumar, and flourished with pirate culture and stability for awhile. With this strange Mushrooms, larger then spruce trees, were found through-out the Native's old land but as then, it wasn't thought on.

The Empire of Cyrumar:
A man by the named Alpha, struck a deal with the Tortugans to make the land a sovereign nation, but in doing do, the nation with its independence, also gained a enormous amount of debt. Alpha, however did not take the debt seriously and began to exploit others to pay his debt with another nations money, making more debt with other creating a cycle. Eventually Cyrumar became friends with a nation named Tulipia and as time progressed, Tulipia was more liked by the Citizens of Cyrumar, Alpha, angered cut ties with Tulipia and a result being, Tulipia declared war on Cyrumar and won.

The Republic of Tulipia:
After the fall of Cyrumar, Shaerelia a important person to the History of the land, used elf-nature based magic to bring a flourishing and brimming environment and with this act the mushrooms that were so tall, shrank to a normal size but still undiscovered why they were able to grow differently then the normal fungus found through out Rathnir, and if they had a magic associated with them. Shae (Shaerelia) renamed the land from Cyrumar to what's now known today, Waldblume! Many months went by and Shae, left the nation of Tulipia meaning leaving the lands of Waldblume. Shae's absence meant the mushrooms within the lands of Waldblume began to grow back as the land was dying from the withdrawals of the Shae's magic. This brought the ideology to the lands of Waldblume to care about a fair democracy but stable and without corruption as they witnessed their previous provincial leader Shaerelia, leave due to the System Tulipia had. Even with Shae's absence she brought something that will be held dear to the culture, to care for the environment and plant-life, since she was a elf that used nature magic.

The Founding Father's and Start of Valondor!
Spades, Toki, and d3mi, unhappy with Shae leaving Tulipia and how it reveled the true instability of Tulipia's system, and how it was inevitable for the nations death. Spades reached out to Toki about the idea of a Declaration of Independence from Tulipia, then agreeing both brought D3mi, then the entire Waldblume citizens and in only days, the entire province all agreed upon the idea of becoming our own nation. To slowly push this idea, Spades was Chancellor and a Governor of the Province of Waldblume, released and published the Waldblume State Constitution , with this added ways to allow separation/independence from Tulipia through a peaceful manner , and so Tulipia soon after failed to meet a criteria and allowed Waldblume to Declare independence! But what the name of the nation was uncertain.. Spades and Sake ventured into uncharted land as they now need to map-out all of what Waldblume owns, found a large mushroom that pulsed energy of relaxation, but in front of the tall and mysterious mushroom tree, was a grave stone marked " Rest Valondor, the Two-sided Mage!". Spades and Sake were confused by this and found what appeared to be a book called The Two Sided Mage! This book was a folktale of the mage named Valondor, and it explained why these abnormal fungus only grew on Waldblume lands. Fascinated by this, this folktale instantly became a large influence in the culture so much that the flag and name of the nation was inspired from this very tale.

The Declaration of Independence!:
After finding out what the nations name would be, what was needed was a government, unlike others before. A government system that ensured stability, distribution of power, and democracy. It so happened a Democratic Oligarchy was the best government for Valondor! Right away finding now the essentials, the officially announced The Declaration of Independence that
