Azepus

The Beginning of Azepus
Azepus’ origins trace back to the Talawans where he lived as a peasant in the country lands for the majority of his adolescence. During his time residing in the continent of Ummarnu, he made his living by being a merchant and trading with neighboring villages. Unfortunately, a war dawned upon his village which led Azepus to migrate south into Uldarash where he would find his destiny as a Nullarian.

The Nullarian Spirit
Azepus traveled on foot, through the devastating climate and regions of Chevkri. After a long journey, he settled on the holy grounds of Nullaria. In the midst of the night, he was greeted by a Nullarian who is often referred to as Zekro. Zekro welcomed Azepus into Nullaria while providing shelter, food and other necessities. The kind gestures by Zekro led Azepus to settle in the small town. Both were able to work closely to create the foundation of Nullaria, Nul’lari. As the capital began to grow, there began to be slight displeasure with the neighboring Chevkri’s who believed Nullaria had been formed on their lands. Nevertheless, Nullaria continued to rapidly grow and expand which quickly brought them popularity, causing more foreigners to join their state.

Azepus’ Creation and Establishment
As the Nullarian town began to grow, Azepus sought to establish a town of his own just a few chunks away from the capital. Azepus traveled to the ruined Chevkri town of Azei,(present day New Laurentia) and began to rebuild the fallen city. After long hours and hard work, he single-handedly rebuilt the town, establishing farmland, food and materials to distribute across the entirety of the desert state. These accomplishments eventually led to the aggravation of the neighboring Chevkri’s due to alleged jealousy. Chevkri citizens would then accuse the city of Azei to be squatting in their lands, as a result, this brought more tension across the border.

Beginning of Leadership
While in Nullaria, Azepus was nominated by Zekro to take on the role as King, giving the title as Dual-Monarchy in the state of Nullaria where two kings ruled over the entirety of the small desert state. Azepus’ held many important roles in Nullaria but one of the most important roles as king was concluding the Chevkri conflict. Azepus and Zekro both worked out a compact plan which denounced Chevkri’s claims and officially recognized Nullaria as a state under the Uldarashi government. As Nullaria was proven and officially recognized as a Nullarian state, this led to ill/unfriendly interactions with the Chevkri in its entirety. Both Nullarian and Chevkri citizens would insult each other despite being seperated by a wall. These interactions between citizens were often toxic and very unwelcoming, causing a hostile feud between the two states. This feud would eventually be one of the most destructive feuds to ever occur between two Uldarashi states located just a few chunks away from each other.

Resignation and Conclusion of Nullaria
Almost a month into leadership, both Azepus and Zekro resigned and gave up their power to Hinda Waldstadt. Hinda remained as the Nullarian king until the dissolution in 1/24/2022. The dissolution of Nullaria lead to the Days of Turmoil

Days of Turmoil
As Nullaria grew, fear of war strengthened across the Empire of Uldarash. As civil war broke out across the nation, Nullaria was left with hardly any choices, so they declared independence in hopes to secure their borders with peace. However, as the Second Empire of Uldarash was able to defeat the Loyalist Uldarash, it began to pivot their attention to the aggressive approach of the King of Nullaria. Hinda Waldstadt had mutiple controversies, most notably being the insulting of Chevkri by naming a drowned "an average chevkri citizen" and forging an Eldham Entente treaty with Nullaria. These appalling actions led to alleged Chevkri bandits to swarm Nullaria's cities to the point of unsafety. This eventually led up to the horrifying collapse of Nullaria, which began the catastrophic Days of Turmoil. During the days of turmoil, citizens of the former nation were displaced and scattered with little to no resources to keep themselves stabilized. The former kings both gathered together to discuss the plan of the future of the nation, where they agreed to ask the Tovarashi government if they could acquire some land which would house the remaining citizens and provide protection for themselves. After a few days, the Nullarians were given the approval to reside. As Nullarians were sent on ships to find refuge in the nation, Azepus and Zekro formed a plan on how they would establish the state of Nullaria in the foreign region of Sparwood. This plan both designated themselves as Hakim’s of the region.

The End of The Beginning, The Start of the End
As a small percentage of Nullarians were actually able to land in the nation of Tovarisha, they were greeted with a grassy terrain, which most Nullarians were inexperienced with. The citizens of the new Socialist State of Nullaria began working closely to create the first town, Lumnarri. Progress in the Sparwood region flowed quickly, as towns and new citizens moved through the region. Azepus established the town of New Rovisha which included a mixture of cultures from the Sparwood region, this eventually led it to become the capital city of the new state. As of 3/12/2022, Azepus is currently residing in New Rovisha and it is expanding as the days continue to draw.
