= History =
== Formation ==
On November 26th, 2020, SnapplyPie joined the server for the first time. He founded the Kingdom of Falnir the day after as a protectorate of the First Empire of Uldarash. It began to export cookies across Rathnir for money, though business was slow and the economy began to suffer.
== Annexation ==
In late December, Falnir's economy crashed and Faldenburg was under the risk of being annexed, and so they embraced it and were integrated into Uldarash as a county. And so for a few days the County of Faldenburg existed before being released as the Knights of Haven.
== The Knights of Haven ==
In early January, Falnir was released as The Knights of Haven, a militaristic Kingdom. All it accomplished was aiding the biggest conflict in Rathnir History, its time for the The Coalition War.
== The Coalition War ==
The Knights played a large role in the Coalition War, they participated in the Skirmish of the Valley and SnapplyPie himself saw battle but was ultimately defeated.
Finally, The Battle of Urnu-Arrak began. SnapplyPie served as part of the offensive strike team and pierced deep behind enemy lines. SnapplyPie himself built a large pillar that nearly breached the Trillium Alliance's defenses but was countered by 5 Trillium fighters, and despite using several potions to enhance his combat, was defeated. This marked the closest the Coalition came to destroying the Trillium beds. 
== Dissolved ==
The Knights disbanded after the humiliating defeat in the Coalition War, SnapplyPie fled to spy on the Trillium, hoping to get revenge. It failed and he fled back to Falnir a month later, under a great threat of discovery. SnapplyPie mounted his horse and ran for his life at night. 
== The 2nd County of Faldenburg ==
SnapplyPie came back to Falnir where he reestablished Faldenburg and built it up. He also got promoted to the Minister of War in Uldarash and became fiercely loyal to the Empire. Faldenburg briefly had 5 members before the sacking of Faldenburg where 3 members left and the other went off to an unknown fate. Falnir got to its biggest extent at this time. It also made a large amount of money off of gold.
== The Fall of an Empire ==
There is an undeniable connection between Falnir and Uldarash. They have been allies for months and months. But in early March, 2020 the Battle of Sanctuary happened. CiderKnight (SnapplyPie's IRP name) was the 2nd person to arrive behind his friend RumKnight9K. As Uldarashi reinforcements arrived, a fierce battle happened in the walls of Sanctuary, CiderKnight, RumKnight, Timeken and many others fought a guerilla battle. But the battle slowly began to turn from bad to worse as Sewer Mafia reinforcements arrived and Viodoxa joined the war. After a brief 1v1 with D3bi, CiderKnight was defeated. The battle was lost and CiderKnight fled to Hapatmitas to organize the final defense with WhiskeyKnight. However, he was shot by a powerful bow and the Uldarashis fled underground and hid. CiderKnight was placed in charge of organizing the underground defense as RumKnight and Timeken dug behind Viodoxan defenses. But before the final showdown, Uldarash imploded and CiderKnight fled Uldarash with the other SpiritKnights.
== Falnirian Exile ==
The Falnirian King, CiderKnight was now in a bad situation. He was exiled across the world from Falnir and was witnessing the oldest remaining empire crumble. In the new SpiritKnight settlement, CiderKnight wrote a small diary about the depressing events of the Battle of Sanctuary. The SpiritKnights sat in exile for a few weeks until they eventually returned to the 2nd Empire of Uldarash.
== Inside the 2nd Empire ==
Falnir felt inequal in the new Empire and was divided by Uldarashi states. Along with the new governmental policies, CiderKnight felt angry with the new government and seeked independence. Life in Falnir was sad, Faldenburg lay in ruins. Cider did his best to repair it but eventually decided to repair the old Quartz Pyramid within Falnir's maritime borders. 
Finally, in early April, the Falnirian declaration of Independence was signed and Falnir broke free of the new Empire, keeping an alliance with them.
== Independence and Falnirian Golden Age ==
With The Great Pyramid of Falnir being built and the Falnirian coffers filling up due to gold mining, the newly independent Kingdom was flourishing. New buildings were built and the pyramid got close to being finished. But it was at this time that Cider got news that his Uncle, RumKnight was killed by Entropy. CiderKnight sunk into a deep depression and allegedly got cursed by Entropy, causing him to slowly and painfully wither away. His slow death was only stopped by a certain brew of Alcohol that seemed to stop it. As Cider became more depressed the Curse spread quicker. Finally, the fight stopped, the only potion that could save him lay close to finished as Cider collapsed, his Spirit was released and tortured for weeks as he struggled to make contact with others who could help finish the potion. Finally, he got his friend _TheLoneFox_ to finish it. The potion was splashed on him and it slowly brought him back to life. 
== June Crisis ==
In Mid-June, Cider found a new town built on top of the abandoned ruins of Faldenburg. Cider swiftly demanded the abandonment of the settlement which was accepted. The 2 sides came close to war but the town was vacated and Faldenburg was reestablished as the capital as CiderKnight was crowned Emperor of Falnir. A colony was established in Eldham and the Falnirian Empire began.

The Falnirians spent the entirety of the next few days planning their defense. But this would be in vain. The Minute Man war is named as the war between Falnir and Uldarash had 60 casualties in 60 minutes. It saw the Falnirian army decisively destroyed and Falnir fall.

To ease things down the low council of Boulderov nullified the agreement with permission to agree on a new agreement.
