== History ==
=== Pre-history ===
Prior to the exploration of Abexilas, the now people of Bannover were the people of Annover and Askonia, of their former nation, Andorn. Through many generations, the people of Annover and Askonia became close friends and allies, separating from Andorn and forming their own nation. The Patriarch of the Royal Annover Family, Bingo Bon Annover, went through great strides to ensure that his legacy and wealth would be passed on to a proper heir. This heir would be his son, Bingo of Bannover, then referred to as Bingo Jr. When the world of Rathnir ended, Bingo Sr. stayed behind, leaving the torch to be carried by Bingo Jr. who was the promised ruler for whomever made the journey to Abexilas. 
=== Arrival to Abexilas ===
The people of Annover and Askonia, now referred to as "Greater Annover", became accustomed to a lavish lifestyle. This is due to generational wealth, experience, and fortification. Living within the walls of castles has its perks, but the new world would not be so safe for castle-dwellers, and a strong start to the new world was paramount for the success of old group of comrades.
Quickly after the location for Bannover was decided, the architects and builders got to work. The ideal creation was one that would provide space for everyone to live safely behind walls in the new and strange world of abexilas, while not sacrificing the luxuries known to the nobility of Bannover. Planned out and created very quickly, it took only 3 days for the first castle keep of Bannover to be completed. 
=== Establishing borders with Ischanor ===

Located almost 360 degrees around the new settlement of Bannover is the empire known as Ischanor. Very quickly to the first few days after construction of the Bannover Castle Keep, the empire of Ischanor sent their envoy, Radigas Rydani, Bannovers closest neighbor to question our existence on what was claimed as Ischanori land under the Grand Dutchy of Vědanica. After talks turned away from Radigas and towards his duchess, Varenna, more stable negotiations were made. Bingo established that their existence on the newly settled Bannover lands was the right of their people, and it would be best to make friends rather than enemies of the two nations. Varenna agreed, and came to a proper agreement with Bingo on their legitimate borders that would be respected by both nations. An exchange of settlements was done to prevent the dispersion of people, and cutting lands off from their capital cities. All of this was done peacefully, and encouraged the people of Bannover to put their trust and faith into their new leader, Bingo.
