Sylvania

=The Grand Archonate of Sylvania=

The Beginnings
The Archonate of Sylvania was born on the 6th year After Entente (A.T.) (Entente Standard Time, 2 years = 1 month), when an expedition of Aristii Sailors got lost in the waters of the continent of Leifmyrr, they crashed in the Western Frozen Coast, hungry, tired, and lost, this proved an excellent opportunity for Sir. Lad to manipulate the minds of the sailors. The Sailors lost their minds. In the cold tundra, few things gave them hope, their families were far away back in Aristios, their friends were in a similar state, and the only person who seemed to have kept the rhythm, was Sir. Lad, so they followed his word. The Sailors slowly but surely forgot about their families, friends, faith, or who they once were in their past life, they became servants of the Dark Gods, with Sir. Lad as the flesh representing their will in Eldham, and the first Archon of Sylvania.

The Foundation of Noxwind
The foundation of Noxwind was a surprisingly fast process considering the conditions of the Sailors. Some think forbidden magic was used, but these rumors lack from any reliable sources other than the few whispers of people who left the dark Heartlands of Noxwind. The city grew to become the largest metropolis in South Eastern Eldham and Aristios, the inhabitants grew stronger and wiser as time went on, the armies grew bigger and bigger, and the inhabitants were richer than they had ever been in their previous home. The Gods gave a blessing to Sylvania and the people that lived inside. After months of darkness, the light for the first time had risen as an almost equal force in Sylvania.

The Reformation of the Archonate
Noxwind reigned supreme in Sylvania for years, the Darkness had a complete hold over the Sylvanian Heartlands and Sir. Lad was a being made of pure power-driven madness and an obsession for perfection and efficiency. However, as the time went on, it was clear that the Dark Gods were not the only influence in the lands of Sylvania. The Light was shown to the people of Noxwind for the first time since the creation of Noxwind Keep. At the very top of the tower, a very slim sunlight could be seen penetrating the dark clouds and ever falling snow, which gave the first signs of wealth in the land. Now power was not the only drive, prosperity, happiness, success, and glory, were back in the table. The Gods of the Light officially made an appearance, and swiftly defeated the Dark Archon SirLad, whose blindness from the energy of Light made him an easy target for the ever wise Light Gods. They gave him wisdom, and knowledge, for him and his people to see who they really were. They were not beings of mere darkness, but complex sentients who also had a light inside their darkness. From there on, the Archon of Sylvania was no more a dark being, but the perfect equilibrium between the two, Dark and Light Gods alike would exist in the sacred lands.

The Eternal Conflict of Sylvania
Although Sylvanians had seemingly found new wisdom that would bring eternal prosperity and unity to the Nation, this could not be further from the truth. Now the Light and Dark stood more divided than ever, with the Archon having the task of bringing a balance for both forces to feel equally relevant to the Argent Blood, the official cult of Sylvania. However, the Light Sylvanians were vastly outnumbered. Around 95% of the population of Sylvania was Dark Sylvanian, which made the Light Sylvanians feel like a second class. The Archon being an equilibrium did not make the Light Sylvanians any happier, as the resemblance of the Dark past of the Archon stood in the eyes of Sir. Lad to this day, which makes them feel threatened by an Archon that is not truly balance, but merely a Dark Archon in all but name. However, as bad as the situation is among Light and Dark Sylvanians, the Nation is performing good enough at a global stage, that the conflicts usually end in a celebration sacrificing heretics from other nations, as a reminder of who the true enemies of the Argent Blood are.

The Foundation of Luxwind
The situation in the Sylvanian Heartlands worsened by the day, the Light Sylvanians were in an eternal crusade against the tyranny of Dark Sylvanians, so the Archon arrived to an unthinkable conclusion. The Light Sylvanians would claim the arid lands of The South, way beyond the Dark Sands of the province of Naar'um, and found a new city, a new metropolis of Sylvania. However, this time around, they would not sit in a dark frozen wasteland, but in the place where the light shines the most, South Leifmyrr, in the Southernmost point of Sylvania, Luxwind is at the time of reading this, is being colonized by Light Sylvanians. This however will cause new issues in the future, as provinces will be divided among Light and Dark, which could cause a power struggle that could end the current system of Sylvania as we know it.

Addictions to the flag and the government
The nation has replaced classic the purple and white flag with new a black and white. The government gone through some changes as now there are ministries to help out the nation with certain tasks. The ministries that have been added are the ministry of foreign affairs led by Hxrry_ von Praestigia. then the minstry of infrastructure led by Bourny. Next we have the minstry of cultural led by Dain Laird. Finally the ministry of finance led by Applebees. The ministries are over seen by the archon and can be shut down by the archon If the archon show wish it. The archon is the final voice in all decisions on matter of the government as the head of it.
