Nightshade Diarchy

The Nightshade Diarchy (originally the Midnight Empire) was a totalitarian absolute diarchy located on the continent of Cathrámis, in Abexilas. It was founded by Midnight Moon and was lead by him up until the date of the formation of the Dawnspire Imperium. The capital city of the nation was KatolisCity.

==== Pre-History ====
Before the Nightshade Diarchy, the towns of which the Diarchy resided with were originally part of the Imperial Provinces of Aristios, where Midnattia was originally founded in the province of Shattered Isles. Alongside Midnattia, Katolis City was located up north in the continent of Valresh, also part of the province of Shattered Isles. During this time, the Artistii-Ashai war was in full swing. During the state of war, the current leader of Aristios was Otto Olea. He was the one that originally gave Midnight the green light to settle down in the center of the Shattered Isles, after originally wanting him to hold a town named "Lacdechant". 
==== Path to Independence ====
Somewhere along the road, Midnight and Otto's relations began to sour. Midnight wanted more autonomy and freedom for his town, while Otto wanted to centralize the nation, making it dependent on him. Multiple issues began to arise and Midnight eventually came up with a fail safe for the Shattered Isles as a whole. He signed a pact with almost every single town in the Shattered Isles, except for one. Katolis City. Around this time, Otto began to talk about possible surrender, which pushed Midnight to make the "Midnattian Doomsday Clock" which when it struck midnight, all towns in the Shattered Isles would declare independence. However, one of the town pact signatories betrayed Midnight, selling out his plan to Otto. Midnight was sentenced to execution without trial. Midnight was determined to make escape. He gathered all of his citizens and instructed them to tear down Midnattia. They were leaving. They did not yet know where, until Midnight received a letter. StickmanPrime promised them refuge in Katolis City.
==== Katolis Civil War ====
Midnight and his citizens arrived in Katolis city shortly after the destruction of the first Midnattia. There, Stickman would allow them to stay. Shortly after Midnight and his citizens arrived, Katolis City held a vote to go independent. With the new citizens, the vote was won in a landslide in favor of independence from Aristios. Aristios gave no resistance due to the ongoing war. However, the citizens of Midnattia were still eager for their own nation, creating the "Midnight Party", obviously lead by Midnight Moon. They quickly gained majority in Katolis City. Even though the Midnight Party now had majority, there was no current way for them to gain power in the government of Katolis without forcefully taking it. Subsequently a civil war broke out, with the eventual victory of the Midnattian forces. 
On March 29th, 2023 at 10:30 PM Eastern Time, it was declared by Midnight himself the dissolution of Katolis as a nation and the rise of the Midnight Empire 
==== Government Rework ====
StickmanPrime and Midnight however, never wanted to be violent towards each other. They were bound in brotherhood. They determined that creating a Diarchal system was the best outcome for the newly formed Midnight Empire.

== Abexilas History ==
==== Pre-Reformation ====
After the destruction of Eldham and the transportation of all to Abexilas, Midnight and Stickman both had severe memory loss, not remembering whom either of them were, but woke up in a field on the now known as continent of Norvinia. The two woke up near each other and reintroduced themselves, despite not remembering their own names. 
Through time the two began to recover from their memory loss, first remembering their names, and attempting to create a nation loosely based off of a nation they thought they were apart of from Eldham (that being this one), but not remembering many of the details of it, it was made under a different banner, with a semi-different system. 
==== Stahlberge ====
The nation of Stahlberge was a nation formed by Stickman, Midnight, and Gus. It was a totalitarian absolute diarchy with a council who assisted the Diarchs, similarly to the Nightshade Diarchy. It was formed within the first few weeks of Abexilas and was specifically isolationist, meaning they did not have much contact to the outside world.
That was, until they received a letter from a nearby start-up nation whom threatened violence if they did not move. This caused massive discourse in the nation, but it was too small for a civil war so it simply broke apart, and disappeared. Stickman and Midnight would not see each other for many days after that.
==== Path to Reformation ====
Many (in game) years later, (to see what Midnight was doing in those years, view Anti Paranormal Association) Stickman and Midnight happened upon each other in their travels, by this time their memories fully recovered. The two reminisced about their time with the Diarchy and how they both missed it's glory days. This simple talk would set in motion the gears to reform the Nightshade Diarchy.
