Kamigawa

Kamigawa, otherwise known as The Shogunate of Kamigawa was a feudal style state located in the Heart of Vastallos. Kamigawa was originally one of the 8 states of The Serene Republic of Carvay before the First Shattering of Vastallos, but at its prime was one only of 4 nations to occupy Vastallos. While relatively insignificant in its early days, Kamigawa in its final months would rise from the ashes and forever change the fate of Vastallos, in a destructive yet hope driven rebellion. Kamigawa ended officially in early March after reuniting with The Kingdom of Galinios to form The Order of Enosis. 
== History of Kamigawa ==
==== Formation (July 6, 2021 - July 8, 2021) ====
==== High Carvaian Age (July 8, 2021 - ) ====
==== Late Carvaian Age (- November 4, 2021) ====
==== Blessed Diarchy of Knossos Age (November 4, 2021 - January 21, 2022) ====
After the collapse of the Republic of Carvay and the subsequent fracture of the continent, Vastallos was split into seven small nation states. Sverion who had grown less and less active over the final weeks of Carvay, decided that he would take an extended break from the server; and decided to give the Kamigawa territory over to another leader until he decided to return. In the end, Kori Glynrel of The Blessed Diarchy of Knossos was chosen to take the land. An agreement was forged by Sknow, in which both leaders needed to sign a document to certify the deal. While Kori signed his name onto the document, in his absence, Sverion never did. It was then decided by Sknow that Knossos would assume control of the territory without the completion of the document, and the land was handed over shortly after. This meant however, that the document was void, and therefore unofficial. 
After the assimilation of the territory, Kamigawa would sit in ruin for multiple months remaining uninhabited, while Knossos flourished in a golden age. It wouldn't be until the start of the new year until any activity would return to the region, with its architecture an distinct style being lost to time. For some strange reason as well, the territory would be renamed to Janguru, almost as a way to show the change that had drastically shaped the land. It wouldn't be active until a fateful day when the Diarchy decided to revitalize another claim in Vrolgar (Now Trollgard), that the Kamigawa claim would be transferred to a newer player named JaymieBoi. Little did Jaymie know at the time, but his assumption of the claim had ultimately began the creation of a new nation. 
==== The Kamigawan Rebellion (January 21, 2022 - February 6, 2022) ====
On the morning of January 21, 2022 Matsuyama Sverion meet with Jaymie to discuss the transfer of ownership back to its rightful owner. With the permission of the Diarch Kori Glynrel, the claim was transfer successfully. undenounced to the Diarchy though, Sverion and Jaymie sparked an unlikely friendship. 
==== Age of Freedom (February 6, 2022 - February 25, 2022) ====
==== The End of the Shogunate (February 26, 2022 - March 6, 2022) ====
While the Kamigawan's had obtained their freedom and brought both good and bad permanent change to Vastallos, this independence would remain short lived. After the Rebellion and subsequent fracture of its government and people, Knossos (now called Galinios) had been annexed by the Aurlunor Verlande after a decisive decision made by Kori. The nation had grown relatively inactive, just like Kamigawa had been before. This decision however would only contribute more to the chaos caused by the Second Shattering of Vastallos. The Empire of Astyllea had become very upset with the Aurlunor annexation due to the Astyllean mystic doctrine, which stated that Astyllea would not permit the annexation or acquisition of Alteniquian territories or nations. Astyllea wanted Aurlunor out, and they would do just about anything to achieve it. 
The first move of the Astylleans was to contact Sverion about a deal that would certify the removal of Aurlunor. The Astylleans wanted to start a war against Aurlunor with Kamigawa in order to push out the foreigners. In exchange for their help, the Kamigawans would receive all the mainland territory of Galinios. Sverion seeing this as a way to remove his enemies and gain further protection from the empire, agreed to the deal. However, the Astylleans realized that they probably did not want to fight an all out war, and quickly opted for a new plan. Instead they opted to reason with Aurlunor and Galinios and came up with a deal. Aurlunor would leave Vastallos completely on the condition that Astyllea would help Galinios to retake Kamigawa. The treaty of Lhumar was then drafted, and Kamigawa's fate was sealed.
Sverion soon gained news of this information which spread like wildfire over the Shogunate. There was no possible way that Kamigawa would be able to survive after this revelation. It seemed like after all the efforts that had been made by the rebels, there would be no future for the young nation. This notion of fear thankfully, was soon to be resolved. Kori Glynrel reached out for a final time to Sverion, and offered one more choice, one given out of kindness. He offered instead of annexation, that Kamigawa and Galinios could once again merge into the same nation. However, this time there would be two sections of the government. One equal side for each nation. Sverion accepted this deal, knowing it was the only way to preserve what had been gained by Kamigawa's independence. 
The deal was then set in stone, and the unlikely alliance called The Order of Enosis was formed, with Kori and Sverion as two rulers. Funnily enough, it took 10 extra days after the deal was made for the nation to be officiated. Ironically, Astyllea which had been steadfast in its devotion to upholding its doctrine, continued to put off the announcement of the treaty of Lhumar for no apparent reason. Therefore Aurlunor remained in control of Galinios, and the Enosans grew tired of waiting. The new Enosan people were tired of being bossed around and controlled by the incompetence of foreign powers, and decided to announce their independence anyways on the sixth of March, before the treaty of Lhumar was announced. This helped reinforce the belief that Enosis should remain independent, due to the nation having better control of its own personal matters. With this, the nation of Kamigawa officially was left to rest, yet alive and well under the new order. 
While short lived and ultimately absorbed at its end, Kamigawa remained a vital example of what can happen when people want change. A small group of individuals with memories of the past, were brought together under the hope of creating something new. Something daring, yet something that proved to be worth it. In the end, Kamigawa managed to live on after dealing with many hardships, and is alive to this day. Kamigawa while just another small nation on Rathnir, would forever remain a beacon of change in Vastallos.
