Spitfire

The Nation of Spitfire is a coastal nation on the South Eastern shores of the continent of Talasi. Inhabited by the Spitfirian people, this nation has seen through hardship and exile in the old world. Carried by a ship and blessed by higher powers, the people found their way to Abexilas. Lead by House Silverend and elected officials, Spitfire's goals are strength and prosperity in this grand new world.
== History of Spitfire ==
=== Pre-Exodus ===
Spitfire was not always found on this plane of existence, having once lived in a far off world on top a mountain range in a sparsely populated world. Life was peaceful for awhile, until war broke out over the theft of important items. In an attempt to protect it's own items, Spitfire rallied it's armies to retrieve what was taken, but were crushed when the deities of the land struct them down personally, and scattered them amongst the wind.
=== The Exodus and reunification in Eldham ===
Spitfire was quiet for awhile, it's citizens far apart across worlds, until one day, they reunited in Eldham, in a jungle in Gerrarian Territory. Oblivious to that later fact, they settled in and got their bearings, though had to leave when they discovered they were squatting on claimed territory. Desperate for any land to call their own, Spitfire found itself outcast on a floating island of dirt created by man. Despite the bad conditions of their land, the people of Spitfire wasted no time, and turned the desolated island into a fortified city, fit for living as a nation despite the poor nature of the city. They would continue to live this way, slowly expanding their small island when it got cramped, until a comet was foretold, and a dark war came with it.
=== Spitfire in the War of the Comet ===
The War of the Comet had come, and despite not having the best gear or combat ability, Spitfire was keen to defend it's home. Lead by Emperor Alpha Silverend, Spitfire forces joined the Eldham Legion in the defense of the first castle, Neapovil, and mounted a successful defense against the Rathnir Entente. When the following battle came, this time at the Rathnirian fortress, Angelicaland, Spitfire found itself without the logistical ability to join the fighting, and could only watch as the Eldham Legion was handed a decisive defeat at the fortress. Following the battle, Spitfire Emperor, Alpha Silverend, was there when Stoney declared himself to be the sun god, Solaris, and blessed the Eldhamites. Alpha gained the ability of flight, and took the fight to the Rathnirians nearby, ending in an absolute slaughter. The following day in Eyon, when King Superb of the Eldham Legion refused to take command of the Eldham army, instead leading his own Scholar Squad. Emperor Alpha took up the initiative himself and lead the troops to the best of his ability. While some history books say the battle ended as a Rathnirian Victory, and some an Eldhamite Victory, Emperor Alpha was glad to have helped lead the main army in this indecisive battle. When the final battle came, in the frozen plains of Rathnir, Emperor Alpha once again lead the main Eldhamite Army with Spitfirian Soldiers by his side, as the oncoming battle turned against them, comet fragments rained down on the battlefield. Alpha and his Spitfire Contingent only surviving by hiding in an outcrop of a mountain to act as cover. After watching Stoney slain, and the Rathnirians against them, a full retreat was ordered, and Spitfire returned to it's little slice of nothing, having gained very little from the war.
=== Survival from the Comet ===
As the Comet came closer and closer to the world, Spitfire scrambled to find a way to survive it. Originally a bunker was proposed, but after some rough calculations, it wouldn't hold against the force of the comet landing. Eventually, Spitfire constructed a ship, the SFS Lightbringer, designed to take them across the ocean and as far away from the impact point of the Comet as possible. After sealing their gear away in the Astral Plane (Vaults) and boarding the ship, they set sail and prayed to whatever gods might be listening to grant their survival. At last when the comet landed, they watched as the water rose up around them, and consumed their ship.
=== Arrival in Abexilas ===
Citizens of Spitfire slowly awoke on the battered hull of the SFS Lightbringer, a special kind of godly magic having protected the ship from collapsing in the torrents of the Comet crash and guiding them to the new world of Abexilas, Bringing the Ship along a rocky cliffside, Spitfire attempted to construct it's home once again, but didn't make it very far. A few days after arrival on the cliffside, Spitfire was contacted by a representative of Bardonia, and were told they were squatting on Bardonian territory. Despite Spitfire's attempts to defend their claim to the area, Emperor Alpha had to concede, and the Citizens of Spitfire once again boarded the SFS Lightbringer to carry them away to new territory. Arriving on the South Eastern Corner of Talasi, where Veldora once stood. Finding it devoid national pretense, Spitfire founded Urbs Victorium, translated to the City of Conquerors, on the shores of their new home.
