Sakravir

Sakravir, officially the Imperial Archonate of Sakravir or Îqvînak Sakrǝvir [IPA: /iɣvi.næk sæk.rǝ.vɪr/] (literally translating to "Light of the World", or metaphorically as the "The Enlightened State"), is a large nation on the continent of Kaxaril. It is the successor state of the Archonate of Sironia and the Sagavir Empire of Rathnir, and the first nation in Abexilas to adopt Sakralism. It operates an autocratic government led by the Prîmáꬼa (Emperor) and recognises the Prîmárçon (Prophet-Descendant) as head of the Sakrelist Church.
==Geography==
Geographically, Sakravir is mainly within a Taiga Forest though also features decent variety of other biomes such as a large swamp in the north alongside a sizable beach, Hills also being featured in the west and south east, alongside plains and oak forests.
=== Eglisars and Departments ===
Sakravir is divided into four administrative units: three Eglisars and one Autonomous Province, the Kingdom of Therkōs. Each Eglisar is governed by one Imperial Cleric belonging to the Imperial Synod of Sakravir, and the capital of the Eglisar is in the city containing the region's Sanctum. Therkōs has special status as an Autonomous Province, with its own government headed by the High King of Therkōs, who often serves as the second in command of all of Sakravir. This arrangement came about immediately following Sagaviri settlemt of Kaxaril, as the originally independent Therkōs chose to become incorporated into Sakravir for protection.

===Cities, Forts and Settlements===
====Itharvir====
Itharvir was the first town founded in Sakravir making it the oldest in the nation and currently acts as the Defacto Capital of Sakravir due to being the most Populous within the nation. It is located in the most south eastern part of the nation and notably contains A Large Sanctum alongside a sizable housing district, a large bridge connecting the town to Krusyrien, its neighbouring sakraviri town, a large docks with the ITC headquarters and lastly the Itharvir Palace. Most of the city was destroyed by a group known as the “Itharvir Redevelopment Agency” during an event known as the Great Itharvir Purge, following which the construction of many of the before mentioned builds begun
==== Marithan ====
Marithan has been the intended location for the Capital of Sakravir since the colonisation, therefore land around the area was settled in preparation; however, the area of Marithan itself was claimed and settled by The Empire of Coronia causing numerous diplomatic incidents, eventually the land was purchased and Marithan became the de-facto capital following the coronation of Fechera I. Marithan is host to the Verhalra Palace, a large Palace holding the Imperial Synod (throne room) as well as the Keshbethorak meeting hall and many other rooms.
==== Tarrus ====
Tarrus is the remnants of a slaver city state that existed before the Sakraviri arrived in Abexilas, combined with Sakraviri influence. Tarrus was the largest settlement within modern day Sakravir of natives though was eventually absorbed into Sakravir after the town being taken by SNLF soldiers. More information here.
==== Therkōs ====
Therkōs is the Capital of the Kingdom of Therkōs which is a semi autonomous kingdom within Sakravir. It is home to the Therkōsians or Therkoī in their home tongue.

==== Venlen ====
Venlen is a settlement purchased from locals for an incredibly cheap sum, it was settled and built by natives whom eventually after being surrounded by large nations decided to sell their town to Sakravir in return for protection and assistance in new management.
==== Urithān ====
Urithān literally meaning White Port in the common tongue is the most recent Therkōsian town located on the border with the Akashiro Shogunate, currently due to its freshness in creation there is little in the town, though it has plans for a large fort and port to be made.
==== Krusyrien ====
Krusyrien is a large town just on the other side of the river from the capital Itharvir, that was purchased from the neighbouring Kingdom of Leyden. The town of Krusyrien was originally named Steinbirge and was much smaller with the current town being split into 3 seperate towns including the Diararchy of Orbitalia-Coolantis, however these towns were eventually merged into one , Ran by Bogdan, and Adevir Erle'Ythri then later ran by Martian
==== Ythan Ythar ====
Acting as one of the earliest towns of Sakravir, Ythan Ythar or in the common tongue, Fort Ythar was named after the 3rd Archon of Sironvir whom due to his incredible age left a mark on many Sakraviri whom still wander Abexilas today. In the center stands the fort itself in a similar style to structures of Azethvir and alongside the fort is small town including a number of houses and residences within the walls.

And if you are unlucky enough. He will find you and He has found you. May Sakrelith be with you.

== History ==
===Ancient History===
The land on which Sakravir resides was in its past fairly well inhabited. Before the arrival of the Sagaviri from Rathnir; southern Sakravir, Yun-Tsau, Leyden and Coronia were inhabited by villagers, some of which still live there. Villagers were organised into decentralised confederations, the biggest of which was the Ahruuk Confederation, stretching from the plains of Leyden which were suitable for farming, to Yun-Tsau and the Sakraviri panhandle. It is believed that humans migrated to this area later on from the west. They formed multiple city states, the biggest of which would become Tarrus. Tarrus was a military autocracy ruled by a Tyrannus, meaning warrior-king. Its economy was based on slavery, as they were located on a prime trading route in the swamp, and tribal humans living in the taiga would be taken to Tarrus from where they would be sent out as slaves on ships to other continents. They would eventually subjugate all other city states north of the Ythar Ranges and their raiding parties would lead to collapse of Ahruuk. Tarrus was also known for its pottery, gladiatorial combat, fierce legionnaires, and advanced sailing technology; but civil wars and slave revolts were commonplace. After the arrival of Sagaviri and establishment of a few villages on the borders of Tarrus these villages would be subjugated and its inhabitants forced into slavery. Tarrus would continue to clash with what they called as barbarian Sagaviri as they would imprison sakrelist missionaries due to their disgust for monotheism and their state sponsored unified faith of all gods which allowed for worship of any god of a conquered peoples as long as they accept the Tyrannus and other gods of the pantheon. After the formation of Sakravir an ultimatum would be sent to the city state requiring them to give up on slavery which would be disastorous to their economy. This was naturally rejected and Sakraviri armies descended on Tarrus walls while the streets were taken over by a slave revolt against the upper class of merchant families. Fighting continued for three days which resulted in much of the city being ruined and burned. Pagan temples were destroyed, populace was offered amnesty if they accepted Sakrelith, a new Governor was assigned and the rebuilding of the city begun. As the fighting destroyed most of the city much of the populace fled into the southern forests keeping their pagan faiths and plotting their revenge.
===Rathnirian Settlement and the Establishment of Sakravir===
Upon the destruction of Rathnir by the Terrible Comet; much of the population of the Sagaviri Empire had congregate at religious sites or even sacrificed themselves to the Holy Flames within the Sanctums. Instead of being consumed by fire, they were miraculously transported to the new world, where they arrived on the central continent of Talasi. Thus, the great migration of the Sakralists began. There were at first multiple poorly coordinated migrant groups. First was composed of the Azethviri refugees who would sail up the Höl river and form the first settlement, Itharvir. Second to arrive were Kallerians and an array of other refugees from across Sironia who settled in north of what is now Yun Tsau dynasty and there they founded Therkos. Third group was formed from various Fusciniviri migrants. They reached Kaxaril lead by the person whom they believed was the Fifth Prophet Liraxak. This group would settle on the Ythar ranges, a series of smaller mountains in the northwest Sakravir and begin establishing a mighty fortress. At first these groups had little contact with each other but soon reconnected and started rebuilding. The new Veron V the founder and former Archon as well as the Keshras crowned Rock as Archon Vikathir of the newly named Archonate of Sakravir to signify the even bigger importance of Sakralism in the new state.
=== Spread of Sakravir and the Prophet Contention ===
Soon after the founding of Sakravir, the followers of Sakralith found themselves in a terrible religious debate around the figure of the Fifth Prophet, the great Warrior of the SNLF, Liraxak. While the majority of the population favored officially proclaiming him as a prophet, a minority of clerics, elders, and scholars viewed this as an evil novelty introduced by the forces of Darkness to lead the flock of Sakralith astray. The most violent and vocal opponent of the Fifth Prophet, was Nanek. His fervent opposition led him to take up arms, attacking the followers of Liraxak multiple times, further inflaming the debate. He would enter a fight with Joe Frank Kennedy which would remain unresolved. The tipping point occurred when Ancotar, a devoted follower of the Fifth Prophet, launched a full-strength attack on Nanek at Old Therkos, now Urithan, forcing Nanek to flee through the forests and mountains to the capital, Itharvir. There Nanek held a firey speech, managing to get the support of many people and soldiers against Ancotar, painting him as an evil aggressor. The most notable of his followers were Cutie McBotty and Sir Meows, which prepared a manhunt for Ancotar. They pursued him through rivers and trees until reaching the famous River Hɵl near Joe's house. At the river, Ancotar halted his pursuers from getting to Ithan Ythar to fight Joe who fled there. The ensuing battle was brutal. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Ancotar withstood many blows to his armor, but ultimately, Nanek’s followers were dispersed and retreated. Ancotar attempted an attack on Itharvir afterwards but retreated soon after. After this bloodshed, the Clerics intervened, calming the masses, discouraging any further discourse on the matter, hoping that the animosity would blow over, as they too were certain that the idea of a Fifth Prophet was an heretical and impractical, thinking it is just a momentary delusion the desperate refugees from Sironia clung too, to cope with the loss of their Rathnirian homeland. Liraxak was granted the right of Prophet Descendant to see if he could prove his holiness while Nanek and Joe reconciled. While there were ideas for a holy council to resolve this issue a new threat from the west would postpone it.
=== Early border disputes ===
After founding the town of Itharvir which acted as the headquarters of the arriving refugees, a second town was founded and settled in an area now known as Urithān by the Therkōsians however just south within walking distance just south another group of foreign refugees had also founded a town and titled themselves as Yun-Tsau. Originally the Therkōsians and the people of Yun-Tsau had negative relations as Yun Tsau planned to settle in the exact spot the Therkōsians had settled and threats were made dampening the situation further however with another nation setting just north named Minaria, a meeting to arrange borders and cease all disputes had been arranged where after some talks it had been decided to ceed the Sakraviri land to Minaria and Yun-Tsau in exchange for more land over the mountains between Yun-Tsau and Itharvir following which a stable border agreement was met and relations began to steadily improve from that point onwards. 
=== Coronia-Sakraviri War ===
Upon the border agreements being made with the neighbouring nations of Yun-Tsau, Minaria and The Kingdom of Leyden, the Sakraviri began to settle the area making towns across the Sakraviri panhandle however the Empire of Coronia whom at the times only settlement was their capital Ilnius began to expand by setting up two towns both within the recently agreed borders of Sakravir, these two towns named Copperdocks and Oakenville were surrounded by Sakraviri settlements therefore Sakraviri and Coronian diplomats exchanged for the first time where talks quickly ran sour after Coronia refused to remove their claims instead demanding more land from Sakravir including two towns/forts and the proposed land trade by Sakravir including two towns close to Ilnius in return for  Coronia’s two towns were rejected. Coronians would send their soldiers to Sakraviri towns who would threaten the populace to intimidate the Sakraviri government into backing down. Following this raids begun between the two nations with Sakraviri soldiers striking first and counter raids from Coronia swiftly following however due to miscommunication amongst Coronian soldiers, one of these counter raids instead raided the neighbouring and uninvolved Kingdom of Leyden which resulted in sour relations that took much time to heal. Sakravir would cease raids on Copperdocks hoping it would defect. With the help of Adavians Sakravir would raid Ilnius however Coronians striked back with the help of Kartek due to leaders being friends and their former status as a vassal of theirs in Rathnir. Nanek would launch an unsanctioned raid on Ilnius and the Sakraviri relief force sent to extract him would be defeated. Despite this Nanek escaped up the Kaxaril river after which he would be fined by the Sakraviri government. Coronians continued to raid towns such as Fort Mikuhr and Itharvir with little success. Following some more raids back and forth eventually the town of Oakenville was removed following the dissolution of the empire of Coronia as the mayor of the town recently became the emperor and wanting to found a new capital more central and further from the Sakravir-Coronia (or now Rozul) border removed the claim so he could work on and manage the new capital. Lastly the mayor of Copperdocks privately contacted Sakravir offering to sell the town to solve the border dispute following which the town of Copperdocks was sold and renamed Marithan bringing an end to the border dispute, although Tensions between Coronia (Rozul) would last until its demise by an unassociated third party and its argued the very beginning of Rozuls gradual demise can be rooted to its high tensions with Sakravir (though Sakravir itself was unassociated with Rozuls fall). Coronia would suffer a coup due to the incompetence of their government at this time and Kingdom of Rozul would be formed. 
=== Reign of Vikathir I ===
After emerging out its border wars with Coronia triumphant Sakravir continued to expand with their evergrowing population. Minaria would be annexed after its nation collapsed due to inactivity. Veron V had abdicated within the first days of Abexilas and Vikathir or better known as The Rockk was crowned Vikathir I by the Holy Synod. He would oversee the conclusion of the Coronian border conflicts and significantly reform the military from the somewhat disorganised Sironian Nationalist Liberation Front into the Sakraviri National Legionary Forces with the Adavian Arch appointed at its head. His reign would be controversial however as despite forging of a number of alliances and the immense growth in population, religion and culture would decline. Arawn King of Therkos was declared Prophet-Descendant thus separating that title from the archon. Sakravir became a much more meritocratic and imperial nation while theocratic elements waned in favour of bureaucracy. What was left of the Neighbouring nation of Rozul was vassalized by newcoming invaders Scaliga which was seen as a potential threat. In the far west Holy Remnant of Theionikos would call Sakravir to aid in a Crusade against polytheist Theiosists in Rethia . With the help of Sakraviri legionnaries the crusade ended with a victory. Much of Itharvir was destroyed with plans to rebuild it from the ground up however progress was very slow and it took a significant time before plans and construction were finally completed and commenced. At the end of his reign Vikathir had distanced himself from a number of people within Sakravir mainly from some unpopular opinions as well as maintaining a fairly inactive leadership therefore with mounting pressure Rockk abdicated in Favour of Fechera Bacuera.
=== Reign of Fechera I ===
Under Fechera I, the nation saw a revival in culture. Sakravir once again marched to Rethia in a second crusade, Leyden sold the town of Steinbirge to Sakravir, Scaliga would collapse after loosing a war with Soliana and being mostly annexed by Soliana with a remnant forming Kakari, another remnant seceding and forming Neo-Fuscvinir (which would recognise Sakrelism) and lastly Sakravir would annex Ilnius a historical city as it was the capital of The Coronian Empire before there collapse. Population increased and many cultural events occurred such as Aldrim pig jousting tournaments, some other minor contests and most notably The 5th year anniversary and coronation of Fechera ! which spurred the construction of the Verhalra Palace in Marithia which had its exterior completed in under one week just in time for the Event. The neighbouring Neo Fuscvinir joined a confederation called Assura which swiftly collapsed therefore 4 of its towns Adustan (later called Radatan), Meltana, Castle Rex and Telsin would peacefully join Sakravir although Telsin would leave again shortly after. An influx of Adavians would reintegrate into Sakravir after their holdings in Adramis were lost therefore many moved to Radatan ending the Long split. This period would also see more divergence between Fifth prophetists and Orthodox Sakrelists with roughly 50% being Fifthist and 50% Orthodox. Vikathir would leave the nation soon after Exiling the controversial citizen Adevir to the western snows which lead to his death spurring much controversy and disliking of the ex-archon. A brief regency of Ancotar occurred after disappearance and reappearance of Fechera I and cleric Eric and at last the Itharvir reconstruction project would commence under Cleric Karma restoring and improving much of the city.
=== Sakraviri Troubles ===
Sakravir would begin its cultural revolution with a rocky start. Uera Nanek would for a long time call for a reformation of the inquistion into a religious institution and would finally suceed being named the Supreme Inquisitor and the Inquistion would take a religious role starting with the execution of a catfolkist. CutieMcBotty having issues with the Imperial Synod and government would release a list of demands but cleric Ancotar issued an arrest warrant for him. The subsequent trial would be described as horribly executed as without a lawyer Cutie put up a half-hearted defense and was swiftly sentenced to death. This would spark a riot in the town by his supporters who would assault the Sanctum but were pushed back to the Itharvir center. A bloody battle would follow but the rioters would be overwhelmed by numerically more numerous government forces and would lay down their arms bringing an end to the skirmish of Itharvir
=== Sakraviri Growth ===
Sakravir had already purchased the town of Steinbirge later renamed to Krusyrien from Leyden in the past however a new oppurtunity arose when Leyden (Now called The Empire of Reynaerte) decided to sell even more land including 3 towns on the southern border of Sakravir which Sakravir had purchased, those towns being New-Leyden, Ythan Mikuhr and Laria pushing the border more south than it had ever been before up to the central Halinn river as well as encompassing the Leyden Isle. As well as this a man named Olakrez had bought two towns (Verne and Holzstadt) for his personal nation called Zerkalo which became a vassal state of Sakravir fully encompassing the island with friendly territory
