Kingdom of Tálor

The Kingdom of Tálor was founded on the original city of Tálor created by Ghastly_Bespoke to rid the fallen Empire of Aktratia off the Astyllean sea. The Kingdom grew from just the city of Tálor to occupy modern day Charm, Athazolant, and islands across the vast Astyllean sea. For a long time it remained a naval state within the Empire of Yimmu-Audal filled with beautiful developing cities, known as the birthplace of many emperial leaders. And now Tálor is independent again, heading towards bright future. 
== History ==
The Kingdom of Tálor was formed on the day of Dalatra's coronation after Tálor left The United Empire of Akratia to join Yimmu-Audal. The Kingdom, ruled then by Ghastly Bespoke, occupied a number of islands within the Tálor sea as well as the Serenna peninsula and a small area of Southern Alteniquia. 
During its time under Theios-Essukdal and the reformed Yimmu-Audal, Tálor went on to acquire the Kingdom of Rhodia which had rebelled from the Kingdom of Reyllea in the Rhodian war for independence. 
=== Independence, Fall, and Aftermath ===
Following the The Coalition War, Tálor became independent from Yimmu-Audal. However, it fell to The 2nd United Empire , which briefly occupied it. Following the Akratian Civil War however, the Kingdom's original island territories within the Atsyllean Sea and Baronos were returned to Yimmu-Audal's successor state of Theios-Essukdal following the signing of The Recognition of Talor as the Atsyllean County.
=== Reformation ===
Following the reformation from Theios-Essukdal to Yimmu-Audal, activity in Tálor began to drop. Much of Tálor remained dormant until Centurion was appointed Duke of Tálor replacing Riff_The_One, and a squatter settlement by the name of Kordania joined Tálor. Activity and progress rose to an all-time high in the Táloran region and Centurion reformed the Táloran government greatly during this time.
=== Empire of Astyllea ===
After tensions between Aldovir and Yimmu-Audal rose and fell in the Brothers War, the Empire of Astyllea was formed. In Astyllea, Tálor became a Kingdom and had representation in the High Council along with a chosen elector who helped decided the Astyllean Emperor. The Kingdom of Tálor maintained its status as a state of the Empire of Astyllea until the late empire's collapse in April of 2022. King Argentus led Tálor to secede from Astyllea the night of its collapse were it briefly became an independent state.
=== High Kingdom & Empire of Yimmu-Audal ===
In the treaty of Myractus the High Kingdom of Yimmu-Audal was reformed under protection of the Imperium where Tálor once again became a state. During this time activity in Tálor slowly began to decrease all while many attempts at getting new recruits failed. During this time, Kordania, the largest and most populated city within Tálor rebelled causing much unrest. Coilton later disputably joined the Kordanian rebellion as well, and when the Kordanians rejoined Tálor, activity went to another all-time low. Settlements like the Flotilla arrived allowing for new and active players to flow and, and slowly the Kingdom rose again. Kordania began revitalizing itself and under the reign of King Aetreai it became the capital of Tálor. When Aetreai become the Orishara of Second Empire of Yimmu-Audal the task of keeping talor fell upon the Regent - Alazar Dynami-Audalad - also known as the princess of Talor. The Regency continued till the end of Yimmu-Audal.
=== Arkendol il Utari & Independance once again ===
When the Voidfish-Audal war of October 2023 finally ended, unexpected by most, at exactly halloween the Second Empire of Yimmu-Audal was no more. Theionikos and Anosphey was the two remaining states of once glorious empire, and they decided to leave. So, the Kingdom of Utari was borned out of the unification between Tálor and Dutchy of Audal. This new nation was leaded by Ratt and was designed to be a chilling place, where Utari (aka new Tálorans - the most recent hybridisation between audalidae culture and main cultures of Atsyllean region) will prosper. There were almost two weeks of reflection on what just happen, creation of Anoeikos, MST coup and creation of the Kingdom of Audal, and many other things. Perhaps, new goverment was too slow in making new nation, but what happened is that only land that left was Tálor. And Tálor left the Utari, as made Amos, because there were no future for it. Reborned Tálor lost the Rhodia County, parts of Coilton County and the Kronos (Alcomir/Urnu-Kyrin) with the entire northern shore - all of that is losses from Empire Dissolution and War. The Regency ended, but the goverment is updated. Assaperai and Artum was made less complex, several titles were diminished, consul system created, as it was proposed during Zeosi Rebellion. In addition to all of that, since creation of Utari new language was created - The Aristarku language, modern Talor uses it instead of Audalad.
=== Leadership ===
==== Archcanon Ghastly_Bespoke ====
Ghastly was the founder of the Kingdom of Tálor and led it through the Akratian occupation all the way until its integration into Theios-Essukdal, and later the Empire of Yimmu-Audal.
==== Archcanon/Duke Riff ====
Riff was the second leader of Tálor and led it during an unfortunate long period of inactivity within the Astyllean sea. He tried to attract colonists to the island and region, but ultimately failed. Albeit alone, throughout his reign he oversaw the continuation of public works Ghastly_Bespoke had started. He eventually stepped down from power before becoming inactive himself. 
==== Duke/King Centurion ====
Centurion was appointed to the position of Duke during the pre-Astyllean Empire of Yimmu-Audal. He managed to get Tálor back on its feet and preform much needed Táloran reforms. He later went on to become the Emperor of Yimmu-Audal, Emperor of Astyllea, and eventually High King of the reformed Yimmu-Audal following the collapse of Astyllea. 
==== King Magnentius ====
King Magnentius was appointed following Centurion's rise to power within the higher Empire of Yimmu-Audal. He led Tálor for a short while until he passed the crown to King Argentus just before the impending collapse of the Astyllean Empire. 
==== King Argentus ====
King Argentus was known for his extremely long and prosperous reign within the Kingdom of Tálor. During his reign Tálor underwent many reforms and pursued a new era of activity. He led the capital of Tálor to be changed from Tálor to Rhodia and led Tálor during the Zeosi-Kordanian rebellion. 
==== King Aetreai ====
King Aetreai is the current King of Tálor and is known for the largest reforms to the Táloran government in modern times and much needed revitalization of the Táloran state. He also is known for changing the capital of Tálor to his hometown, Kordania. One of the most notable fact about him, is that he was the last Emperor of the Second Empire of Yimmu Audal, rised from the position of chief diplomat, he made Tálor independent again, returned Shard of Zeos into this world and was the first man to break the Rochelles succession line.
== Government ==
The national government was made up of multiple roles:
=== Old Government ===
The Arch Canon was the Highest seat of power in the nation acting as a monarch and diplomat for the nation with the power to veto decisions made by the Council. The post used to be held by Ghastly Bespoke.
Grand Canons held power over multiple towns, acting as dukes within the nation. They each held a seat on the Council.
Canons held power over a single town, acting as Counts within the nation. They each held a seat on the Council.
Elders were trusted members who had a seat on the Council despite not holding power over any towns.
The Council decided on all important external affairs, all members hold the same voting power. Internal affairs were decided by a vote from all members of the nation's Council.
=== Centurion's Government ===
# The King of Tálor, has the utmost authority within the Kingdom, maintaining and controlling Tálor to their wishes.
# The Chancellor of the Kingdom of Tálor acts as an assistant to the king, helping the king manage the Kingdom. i
# The Chief Sentinel is the third authority within the Kingdom of Tálor and maintains the Táloran Sentinels and knights of Tálor. (the kingdom's militia)
# The Chamber (Artum) of Tálor is the governing body of the highest trusted individuals within Tálor. It directly serves the King and is aimed to maintain the Kingdom.
# Counts (Ammar's) are the people who control the counties within the Kingdom of Tálor. Counts are granted a seat on the Táloran chamber. 
# The Táloran Senate (Assaperai) is made up of lower nobility within the Kingdom of Tálor including Counts and Barons. 
# Baron's (Sahrad's) are the rulers of towns and cities within the Kingdom of Tálor.
During the Yimmu-Audal period these roles got their audalad namings, as well, as several changes were done.
* Highest authority is the Emperor of Yimmu-Audal (Orishara)
* Second to him is the King of Talor (Aurullar) - actual leader of the kingdom.
* In the final months of Second Empire of Yimmu-Audal, as Aetreai was elected Emperor, ruling of Talor was entrusted to the Regent (Princess of Talor)
* Then comes the Chamber (Artum), composed from high-goverment officials such as: Chacellor, The Regent, Royal Architect, Royal Cartographer, Head of Recruitment, Bashar of Sentinels (if they exist), former kings and people, that proved themselves enough. The goal of the chamber is the same as ever.
* The Senate (Assaperai) is composed of Counts (Ammar's) and Barons (Sahrad's). A place to discuss internal issues and vote for changes. Artum members also has voice im the Assaperai. The role of Ammar's and Sahrad's is the same.
=== Current Government ===
The current goverment hierarchy is as follows. This reformation was made according to ideas of simplicity and Zeosi Senate reformations.
# The King (Kênarch) - Supreme ruler of the kingdom
# The 3 Senators (Mêvor's) - every month they are elected, they act as the High Councill of the Kingdom and will encourage activity and instate/work on projects. The King will oversee elections and the actions of the senators.
# The Chamber (Volmar) - mixture between old Artum and Assaperai. Its an advisory body that helps running the Kingdom. Consists of Counts, Mayors (Varon's) and Former Kings. People here are gathering for votes and disscussions of kingdom's problems. Senators are elected from Chamber members (probably).
# Counts and Mayors - Regional leadership titles of the Kingdom of Tálor. Count role is more about status than power, since the counts are the Mayors of major claims and counties as of now proved to be just decorative feature of the Kingdom.
== Important Cities ==
=== Tálor ===
Tálor is the first city within the Kingdom of Tálor founded by Ghastly Bespoke. It remained the capital of Tálor up until late in King Argentus' reign when the capital was changed to Rhodia. Eventually the Baron of the city of Kordania at the time, Aetreai Dynami-Rochelle Âudalad convinced King Argentus to let the city of Tálor be absorbed into the much larger and more active city of Kordania, where the original city of Tálor was rebuilt and remains as a district of the city of Kordania to this day.
=== Rhodia ===
A City on the North-Western side of the Kingdom of Tálor, first settlement of the Rhodians. Starring a large fortress in its center. Rhodia was added to Tálor early during its time as a state in Theios-Essukdal after it joined Yimmu-Audal following the Rhodian War for Independence from the Kingdom of Reyllea. The city lost the district of Daetria to the city of Lestria when a deal was broken between former King Centurion and leader of Lestria, Kerplis. 
=== Kordania ===
The largest city and current capital of the Kingdom of Tálor which occupies the entire island of Tálor. Kordania is known for its beautiful views and active community. The city has a history of rebellions and turbulent leadership. Today it remains stable and a bastion of the Aristarchi Faith. 
=== Coilton ===
Coilton was originally a colony of Kordania founded by Trevor Dynami and Marcus Wickerson following the founding of Kordania. It quickly developed and during the reign of King Argentus became its own county within the Kingdom of Tálor ending its Kordanian occupation. The city has grown close ties with the nearby city of Athazolant. 
=== Cersalyis ===
Cersalyis is a giant custom island that was under construction by the Flotillans who settled and joined the Kingdom of Tálor during the reign of Argentus. It is still under construction and abandoned. Once it was a symbol of power for the Kingdom of Tálor, but currently it's the symbol of Late Imperial Talor, plagued by squatters and lack of people. 
=== Pezi ===
Pezi is an island city with beautiful homes and monuments. It is located on the eastern portion of the Kingdom of Tálor and is undergoing quick development. Currently it belongs to the Kingdom of Audal, since the new mayor was tricked when he desided to return Pezi into the Empire. 
== Religion ==
The Kingdom of Tálor had no official religion. The old Arch Canon Ghastly Bespoke practices Mónathism. Mónathism later faded from the Kingdom of Tálor until the Aristarchi Faith rose alongside the Kordanians. The faith later integrated into the Hukar Sharud Faith as the Korvaini Sect, but soon was restored as independent and syncretised with some of Sharudi Believes (Zeos and Korvort now equal and represent the universal counciousness), efficiently becoming taloran version of Hukar Sharud. 
Today the Kingdom of Tálor is mainly dominated by the Hukar Sharud Faith (historically mainly Sangadi, spreaded from Rhodia), even after the return of The Zeos Shard. The Aristarchi Faith sees straight decline, it hadnt numerous member, but now it seems to be gone. Some of taloran people are trying to revive the ideas of old to bring new spark into people, but nobody seen any results yet. 
One of notable faiths is the Sunite-Elbaharism, a faith created by Anmo Dynami and his partner Jesyáh Yahlahat Arkdetél III. Monotheistic religion, that unfortunately hadnt any continuation, because all of the prophets left inactive. There is a shrine near wheat field in Kordania, and the Sardland Fortress - home of Anmo, was originally designed to have a temple build, but it was never finished.
