Assura

Assura is a confederation established in 59 VE, bringing together its three founding nations—Marcea(Under JAMB00), Merenthine(Under Barer), and Neo-Coronia(Cobalt). These nations managed to do what was previously thought to be impossible and take a collective approach to mutual defense and political cooperation, while maintaining each state's sovereignty. The formation of Assura was a significant milestone in the history of the Halinn continent, marking a new era of inter-nation cooperation.
