Irulan

The Kingdom of Irulan was unitary tri-monarchy in Central Phoros, Eldham. It is currently a province under the rule of the Eleanor Realm. Irulan is currently going through its "Age of Hallowed Halls," as it's previously bustling cities have been losing their populations due to a poor economy and harsh winters. 
==Kingdom of Irulan==
56 AJC - Current
Irulan soldiers barely escaping death, sailed back to their homeland from the battle. Knowing they had lost the war, they knew any day now Uraka officials would come to their door to enact their government onto them. Duke Bjorn Helvigson being the diplomat he was born to be stitched a treaty with Zamotz and Urak to become vassals for a set time. Officially until the 27th of November they were required to be subject to vassalization. This treaty also guaranteed Irulan sovereignty. From this Irulan reformed into a Kingdom with Duke Bjorn Helvigson, Duke Dvusi Godd-Fjell and Duke Alphdeim Nevaris taking the helm, forming a Triarchy, leading Irulan to their glory.
===System of government===
The current government is run by the 3 kings, each ruling mainly over their own providence, and making decisions for the nation together. Dvusi runs the northeast most province, Bjorn running the middle provence and Alphdiem running the southwest most province. 
Each King can appoint two counts each, these counts serve as mainly assistants to the kings and contribute to votes the kings hold on the progression of the nation.
==History==
===Prehistory (Before 35 AJC)===
The Cairtus and their followers from the Cairtu Corporation fled from Giedi Prime during the Harkonnens' domination of the planet in the year of 9,980 following a series of noble rebellions. House Cairtu was granted a noble status following its success as a trade company, its trade consisting of about 2.7% of CHOAM’s total wealth in the year 9,968. Following its ascension to nobility, House Cairtu was granted a large fief in the City of Restasin, a minor city consisting mostly of weapon manufacturers and trade storehouses.
Following a civil war attempting to halt House Harkonnen’s harsh rule of Giedi Prime, House Cairtu was forced to flee after the Battle of Endulsha, wherein House Harkonnen won a decisive victory over the rebelling noble families in 9,977. House Harkonnen banished the Cairtu's to the newly discovered planet "Eldham". House Cairtu was granted a peninsula on Phoros, a large land claim on Eldham with little development. Unfortunately on arrivial of the spaceship, the crew experienced some technological issues that sent the ship straight into Eldham. Unfortunately this ended the lives of most of piloting crew, and a majority of the Cairtu's scientist. Sending them into a medieval like soceity, working to rebuild the spacefaring enterprise they once were.
===Freehold of Irulan (35 AJC - 50 AJC)===
Formerly a fief owned by House Cairtu, the Irulan Freehold was reformed into the Union of Irulan with a more bureaucratic and nation-like government. It was ruled by House Cairtu with their family head as the "Arka" of the Union, the supreme source of authority in the Union. The Arka was part of the Arkanate, which included House Cairtu, the Mawazir, The Rais and the Quad. These people are the lawmakers and chief administrators of the primary branches of the Union Government. 
The Mahwazir heed s the Council for Union Administration (CUA), whicwas s responsible for the administration of the Union as a whole. The Rais heedds NOME and manades its ventures and direction. The Qayd leed s the Samhiwan, the military of the Union which also offers religious services and sacraments to the Irulani populace. Citizens were given many avenues to participate in the government, primarily though the state-owned Necessary Operations Mercantiles Enterprise (NOME) and the Samhiwan (militant religious order). 
The two halves of CUA were the al-Wuzara and the al-Hukkam. Al-Wuzara, consisting of wazirs (sing. wazir), managing the day-to-day affairs of the Union. Al-Hukkam, on the other hand, was made up of chief administrators and governors of directly-controlled and 
self-governing areas of the Union and was thus consulted less regularly than al-Wuzara. Major issues were generally shared with both halves of CUA by the Arkanate in order to make sure that all constituencies find decisions to be satisfactory and beneficial. 
===The Crimson Coast (50 AJC - 56 AJC)===
On one fateful day, the capital of The Freehold of Irulan, Cascade, was attacked by foreign invaders. They looted and pillaged the Irulan land as hard as they could. It was clear Irulan needed back up. House Cairtu set their ships sails to Barbossa, close allies and friends of many of the Irulan citizens. Unfortunately the ship never made it. Irulan was defeated at this point, having no backup. Fortunately, the attackers didn't subjugate the Freehold. But not hearing back from the Cairtu's left the nation in shambles. One night they discovered a ship that beached onto the shore of Maud'Dib. The ship was torn in half by something out there. After a deep inspection, it was clear.. This was the SS Cairtu.
With the leaders of the nation missing, the rest of the Irulan government decided they should join another nation as none of them were fit for running a nation in the fierce political landscape Eldham had become. The population held a referendum on what they should do. Ultimately they decided to merge with Barbossa where Irulan became known as the "Crimson Coast". 
After a sour turn of events Irulan, the crimson coast of Barbossa wound up in war against Uraka. Known as the Valorant War, this would mark the end of Barbossa. With Uraka defeating the pirates, the Homeland was taken, with plans to annex the rest of Barbossian territory. All hope was lost this dark evening.. Or was it?
===Irulani Double Vassalization (56 AJC - 60 AJC)===
After the unfortunate fall of the Barbossan Empire, the Irulani people were kept under joint Uraki-Zamotzian control. During this time, the ex-captains of Barbossa Dvusi God-Fjell, Bjorn Helvigson, and Alphdeim Nevaris would take control of the mostly barren Irulani lands. Irulan would see a period of healing under the Eldham Entente's control, with the reformation of the government into a triarchy and the the focus on repopulating Irulan's abandoned towns. Towns such as Tokkotentotski, Ormsdall, New Cadia, and Cerbol (Now Wavegrad) would see growth in their populations and economies, thus bringing in a new vigor and strive for independence in the people of Irulan. 
=== The Three Kings Period (60 AJC - ) ===
After Irulan's independence from Uraki-Zamotzian control it's three caretakers Dvusi God-Fjell, Bjorn Helvigson, and Alphdeim Nevaris peacefully took over power as a newly instated triarchy that would be the first form of post-Cairtu independent government for Irulan. The three Kings decided to partition the lands in Irulan in between three major duchies those being: the South duchy ( ruled by King Alphdeim), the Central Duchy ( ruled by King Bjorn ), and the North Duchy (ruled by King Dvusi.) All major decisions were taken by the council of kings during the period, yet this proved to be ineffective over time as the needs of the kingdom could not be fully met by the kings and the people they placed in charge of projects. During this period Irulan's political and economic crisis were quelled with alliances with nations like Amarillo, High Kingdom of Soolia (through King Dvusi being the father of the heir of Soolia), Valreach and the United Socialist States of Eldham. The Three Kings Period would end with the distribution of power among the counts and dukes of Irulan by the kings, and would begin what arguably was the "Golden Age of Irulan." During this period the construction of Lockstum and Karsa would begin, as well as conflicts with the Squatter settlement of Homestead after their attempted regicide of Alphdeim Nevaris. The Three Kings Period was characterized by the stabilization of the Kingdom of Irulan after the double-vassalization, the partitioning of land and powers in the nation, and the international political developments of the nation.

It borders the Dirac Sea on the west, Vatn's Sea to the northwest, the Gustavus Sea on the north, the Navigia Straight on the east, the Sea of Jura on the southeast, and the Gulf of Steindokker in the southwest. The kingdom's only land border is with Mosir-Sumari, that runs through the Murus Massif & Itakshirr Swamps from the Gulf of Steindokker to the Dirac Sea. The kingdom is separated from Arktania and Osria (Urak) by the Navigia Straight which is 170 blocks wide at its narrowest point, and the Dulpolia Islands (territory of Drakaes) off the northwest coast. 
The territory of Taernsbia is bordered by the Drakaes and Gardenia, the Drakaen Sea, and the Gulf of Grass.
