Ilyene

== History ==
=== Azeraan Crisis ===
Ilyène was formed out of the Azeraan Crisis, where the Tlatoani at the time was couped, as Izel and Asher were deposed from their positions during a meeting where they didn’t even know until Xiuhcōātl arrived, in retaliation Xiuhcōātl using her powers as Warrior Tetli used part of the constitution. If the principles of the Azeraan Federation and the Vision of its founders are being undermined, the Warrior Tetli has the power to temporarily coup the country to preserve the nation's principles. This is to restore order and democracy if it is being challenged. However, the Ethuau’tlists declared that the towns of Aradesh and Nova Pikulia were seceeding from Azeraan were forming the Aztlacan Federation alongside the town of Avarin. After the vast majority of other Azeraani towns proclaimed their support for the Ethuau'tlists, what was left of Azeraan surrendered. Subsequently, a peace agreement was signed stating that the former Azeraani capital, Tizoctitlan, would remain independent and go on its own to become the new country of Ilyène, with Tizoctitlan being renamed to "Aquisé".
Xiuhcōātl and Izel both had enough of Huitcan Culture, now wanting nothing to do with it. As a result, Xiuhcōātl rose to the title of "Duchesse d’Ilyène", she would also subsequently rename herself to "Venezia Campanella", to further split herself from the old Huitcan culture, and transition into a new one along with the rest of Ilyene. Subsequently there was Duchesse d’Ilyène Venezia Campanella I.
=== Herrera Joining ===
Later on Ilyène got a request off of a state of Valora called Herrera requesting if they could join us, we told them they can if they wanted to and had permission. The King of Valora did not agree to this proposal, after conversations between the Valoran government and their state of Herrera, Herrera got some money and moved to a new place which they named Puerto Alteztil. In return, they gave up their previous city to the Valoran goverment. Holly Hapaqlachi-Eztil was made Hoxi/Comté of Herrera. However, the land bought wasn’t officially and was seen as a squatter claim by Solge, so as a result it got war declared, Lju from Soralae and Holly from Herrera went into the war ticket and eventually got into a peace deal to leave. It turns out the claim overlapped Solge’s and Thedan’s claim.
=== Secession of Aquise and the Death of Ilyene ===
On the 13th of December 2024 the Duchesse of Ilyene, Venezia Campanella decided that in order to end the inactivity and weakness of the Ilyene government, she must seek a new a new overlord. After a conversation with Jakhal Kurucan-Dhar of Ashkavar, she decided that the future of Ilyene lay within the Korqoriat. After negotiations with their overlord of Soralae, the government of Soralae agreed to allow Ilyene to end their vassalage for a sum of 100,000 crowns. Ilyene and Ashkavar split the payment 70-30 and after Soralae had been payed, the transition of Aquise joining the Ashkavari Korqoriat began. The Duchesse did inform her government to an extent of this agreement and they only discovered fully what she had done after Aquise officially joined Ashkavar as a crownland. However, the active population of 2 didn't know.
==== Aftermath: ====
After Aquise had joined Ashkavar as a crownland, it decided to rename itself the Harakon (Travellers Tongue: East Tarakon) and form the 3 Sisters Council with the towns of Tarakon and Akotarakon (Travellers Tongue: North Tarakon). After many proposals from the Kizilqash of the Aztlacan Federation, Payotl Weilo-Tizoc, Xiuhcōātl Ameyalli Eloxochitl Atl’Tizoc-Qai (Formerly known as Venezia Campanella) decided to accept his offer and became an Altepetl of the Aztlacan Federation. 
== Culture ==
The culture of Ilyène descended from the Syltöri culture of Levanois, however it borrows much from other cultures such as Viratine. During the Azeraani Crisis, the minority of Levanois peoples who had lived in Aquisé decided to step in, there was also some from the Viratine religion of Zentivar, the Duchesse followed the religion and promoted it within Ilyène meanwhile the Levanois peoples had the influences of Language and traditions.
Some of the Azeraani culture survived and made slight tweaks to the Ilyènique culture but the influence isn’t as strong as it used to be in the region as opposed to the pre crisis. 
However in the Altepetl of Herrera, Huitca culture survives but slightly diverged into a new culture called Herreran, however it is largely untouched 
== Religion ==
In Ilyene there are 2 national religions;
- Zentivar
- Eddyism
Zentivar originally began on the Aldoviri Subcontinent in Rathnir within the nation of Viratayn. It’s head of faith is both Carpicious and Athaz. They believe in the 3 pillars, that being tranquility, Devotion, and Preservation.
