Bai Federation

The Bai Federation was a country located in the continent of Serrona in Eldham - specifically the Southwestern corner of the region. This nation controlled the southern majority of the continent, which made them one of the most noticeable powers in Southern Eldham at the time, having close relations to its neighboring allies such as Batu Khaganate and Vulpinia during the height of its power. 
The Federation was formed on May 30, 2021 when the Leaders of the various Bai tribes united together under a single banner. The leaders of the tribes became the first of the Guara and the Baghra that had governed the Federation. The Federation used to border the southern parts of Vulpinia.
==Arrival in Eldham==
Fleeing from disaster in their home of Baikulo in Rathnir, one group of Bai sailed into the unknown hoping to find a new land to take refuge in. The Bai Refugees crash landed upon a beach near present day Kharduum, where they began to build shelter, fish, and swim. Over time, the Bai began to notice the cycles of life centered on their beach home and began to honor and worship its many aspects, splitting into various religious groups, most notable of which are the Baikhar and their religion, and the Enbaira. These divisions in culture would eventually lead to conflict as the various family units began to separate into distinct tribes based on belief. The religious conflicts would escalate, destroying the original settlement of the Bai. With no home left, the tribes went their separate ways, becoming nomadic groups wandering the southwest of Serrona.
==Reconstruction Period==
After spending many years as nomadic tribes, many of the Bai found Eldham to be a dangerous and unpredictable place. Under Meiddaura Kul, leader of the Baikhar Tribe, the various nomadic groups of the Bai gathered together for mutual protection despite their previous conflicts. With the formation of the Bai Federation, the various tribes began development of the region they called home. Some of these developments, however, led to conflict with neighboring nations of the Batu Khaganate and Vulpinia. The conflict was quickly put aside though as the involved nations settled their borders amongst each other. This conflict and quick resolution would lead to diplomatic talks between the involved nations. These talks would later develop into the foundation of the Federation of the Southern Stars (FSS) (Later on renamed into the Celestial), which the Bai, Batu, and Vul are the founding members of.
Tensions rose within the Federation of Southern Stars as the member states dealt with the Campfire Society Crises and the Kunir War. Due to the two previous conflicts the within the FSS, the nations of Vulpinia and Batu Simultaneously left the Federation. Bai and the rest of the members left shortly after.
==After The Federation==
With the dissolution of the FSS, the Bai Federation began to look internally for development. The Federation began recruiting at a much larger rate, With the addition of a new vassal state of New Domatia, Bai citizens began to explore nearby regions, mapping them out and meeting locals. One such interaction lead to an altercation between citizens of Bai and Bjancia.
==Primary Exports==
The Bai federation is known for its exports in fine jams, alcohols, drinks, enchanted tools, bee products and copious amounts of sand.
==The Great Collapse==
The Federation collapsed into multiple land grabs from other nations as well as independent regions following the intention of war from the A.W.E on December 29, 2021. Panic and poor management of the population led to a mass migration of people, fleeing from the Bai nation into unknown lands, a small minority stayed, the few that stayed decided to dissolve the Federation, a nation that had been with Eldham since time immoral following the massive population loss.
==The Rise==
After many years Puddles Vernal a former citizen of the Bai Federation had returned and set his eyes on The Holy Lands of Bai, or at least a chunk of it owned by a nation called Montrium.
