== Introduction ==
The Imperial Union of the Havenlands is a nation from season 2 of Tremons. It is a semi-democratic monarchy with two monarchs in charge called Dual-Emperors. Below the Dual-Emperors is the Chancellor, who convenes and heads the Imperial Senate, the main governing body of the Imperial Union. Most of the nation in along a coastline called the Kryck Coast, but it does also includes a jungle area known as the Forn Jungle, where the township of Fornburg is located.

== Politics ==
=== The Dual-Emperors ===
The Dual-Emperors are two co-monarchs who rule the Imperial Union with equal power. They are the supreme political office of the Havenlands, and they rule with authority and might. However, they gain their power from the Imperial Senate and thusly the Chancellor.
=== Chancellor ===
The office of Chancellor is an elected one, and the Chancellor serves a the convener and head of the Imperial Senate. The Chancellor's term lasts one month and a Chancellor can only serve one term in their lifetime. They are Commander-In-Chief of the Imperial Guard as well.
=== Imperial Senate ===
The Imperial Senate is the ultimate political body (not office) of the Imperial Union. They are made up of all government officials, Imperial Guard Generals, and province leaders. They make the laws which are passed and approved by the Dual-Emperors, and are convened and led by the Chancellor.
=== Province System ===
Under the Province System, all cities with more than 40 chunks are considered Provinces, and their leader is considered a member of the Senate. The leaders of smaller towns are allowed to attend Senate meetings, but they cannot vote on bills unless they are a General.
=== Imperial Tribunal ===
The Imperial Tribunal is the ultimate judicial authority of the Imperial Union and is made up of three Grand Tribunes, who are chosen by the Dual-Emperors. The Imperial Tribunal tries and punishes criminals and is a very powerful political body. The Imperial Tribunal Courtroom is located in Krycks House in Kryckshaven alongside the Chancellor's office and the Imperial Senate room.
== Culture ==
=== Religion & Lore ===
The primary religion of the Havenlands is Curithearism. Cruithearism believes that Cruithear, a benevolent creator god, created everything and that a group of coastal raiders called the Jarn slew a demon-serpent named Forn, used its skin as fertilizer to make the Forn Jungle, and used its bones to construct the great city of JarnSkyd in the Southernmost regions of the Havenlands. JarnSkyd was destroyed, alongside two of the three Jarnhavens (Iarhaven and Tuathhaven), by the serpent's child, Fear Nathair. Fear Nathair left one city standing, the greatest of the three Jarnhavens, known as Kryckshaven. 
=== History (Lore Foundation-Modern Day) ===
The Jarnhavens themselves were large citadels controlled by King Kroka Krigare II, the son of the man who slew Forn, with Kryckshaven as his capitol city. After many years, the Kingdom of Kryckshaven declared two Dual-Emperors. The first two Dual-Emperors were the brothers Ondska I and Denstore I the Great. Ondska I waged a massive war with the nearby city of Daingneach to try and potray himself as a hero. However, this war only led to Denstore gaining fame, and Ondska being seen as a warlord. In furious jealousy, Ondska tried to kill his brother but was himself killed by Denstore's warriors. Ondska I was replaced by Ondska II the Greater, who killed Denstore, and since Denstore had no children, Ondska the Greater's brother, Ondska III the Lesser, took his place. The reign of the Ondskas were not all bad, though, as it saw further cooperation with the nearby dwarven tribes of Troich and Meinneran. However, when they were both killed by their own nephew (though their sister Phrionnsana and her husband Lord Grwfth), Denstore II the Wicked and he ruled by himself as Grand Emperor for many years. When he died of old age, a council of advisors and officials known as the Kryck Parliament decared one new Dual-Emperor, Fear-Posda the Great, and one new Dual-Empress, his wife Bhean the Great, with Bhean being the daughter of Ondska the Lesser. The couple ruled for many years until they both died of old age on the same day, a true testament to their love. Their sons, Denstore III and Ondska IV did not do much as Dual-Emperors, nor did Denstore III's sons Fear-Posda II and Denstore IV. However, Fear-Posda II's sons, Ondska V and Fear-Posda III, invaded the nearby dwarven tribes and assimilated them into Kryckshaven. The tribes led a rebellion against Ondska V and Fear-Posda III known as the Kryck-Dwarven Wars, which ended in one of the two tribes, Troich, being able to go free. However, they found their old cities destroyed by raiders and so died out. Ondska V's sons, Denstore V and Fear-Posda IV, were poets and were very wise. They led Kryckshaven out of its backwardness and brought it into a cultural renaissance. This era, known as the Golden Age, saw three more sets of Dual-Emperors: Denstore VI and Ondska VI, Denstore VII and Fear-Posda V, and Ondska VII and Denstore VIII. The Golden Age ended with the two tyrant Dual-Emperors, Denstore VIV the Tyrant and Fear-Posda VI the Formidable, took control after their father, Ondska VII died of a heart attack and their uncle, Denstore VIII died in battle. They conquered the sities of Fornburg and JarnSkyd, but revolution caused them to lose those cities. They led a campaign to retake JarnSkyd, but were both killed in battle, and so the throne went to Debris I and Elektro I, the two sons of Fear-Posda the Formidable, who founded the Imperial Union.
=== Ethnicities ===
The two main races of the Imperial Union are Human and Meinneran Dwarven.
