The Seahaven Imperium aka the Second Empire of Seahaven was a major nation situated in the continent of Plagos in late 2023 and early 2024, ruled by a diarchy and their imperial council. Being the last Plagosi Empire the world of Rathnir will see.

==== The Return of the Seahaven Empire ====
The Lunari Empire was in swift decline, its end was inevitable. Ultima, Vinovia, Escharia and Kartek were all taking away the Empire's land bit by bit, but the final nail was when the Empire of Kartek-Fjellhiem sent an ultimatum to Lunaris demanding it's annexation. Pheonix Empress Rosa Rune had commanded every state owner within the empire to follow her last order which was under the name of 'Lunari Twilight'. Which demanded all states to declare independence as one final form of protest against Kartek and other empires so they would get as little land as possible. 
One of these states was the Nordessonate of Ancora, one of the largest internal states of Lunaris which controlled almost a majority of Lunaris's land, it was ruled by the Nordessons North Norcician and Brandon von Blarg of the af Lifsveldi dynasty, who both soon declared independence from Lunaris right as it fell under Kartek rule. On November 11th, 2023 at 8:59PM EST, The Second Empire of Seahaven was proclaimed when North made the following announcement, The Senate of Ancora just made a statement this morning on the steps of the senate building in Baronov. The statement was said as followed,
To the people of our Nordessonate and Beyond, long ago we used to be the empire that ruled the Plagosi Oceans, Seahaven was our name. Soon however it fell and Seahaven fell into the hands of Lunaris. We trusted that Lunaris would help us, but of course we thought wrong and during the reigns of Amy and Blanii we suffered great pain and we were killed off. However in this great pain we survived and soon enough thrived, bringing our people back under the new Nordessonate of Ancora. 
Seeing the State of the Lunari Empire, The Ancoran Senate has decided to declare it's independence from the cursed empire after a year being under it's tyranny. With our new found independence, we now proclaim a new era for the people of the Shattered Sea, a New Era for Ancora and all Plagos. The Seahaven Empire returns under the name of the Seahaven Imperium 
May the Gods Bless the SeaThis announcement was meet with much praise, as Seahaven had made many friends before, who all supported the return of the old empire, however it was released right after the Karteki-Fjellheim announcement of their annexation of Lunaris, and were quite pissed that Ancora, a state that controlled a majority of Lunaris's internal territory, along with other states, had declared independence, which left what remained of Lunaris, being a couple isles in the Osterium sea.
Now the empire and other neighboring, newly independent states was stuck in a very difficult position as Kartek, Ultima and Vinovia was still keen on annexing as much Plagosi territory as possible and soon much diplomacy ensued.
Both Brandon and North started talking to the Karteki council, these talks were named appropriately as 'Plagosi bs'. It was clear soon enough that if no decision was reached, war would soon be upon the newborn nation. Seahaven however didn't want to go under another overlord so they tried to find a way out, and soon they did. One of the main parties that was also annexing the fallen Lunari Empire was Vinovia, ruled by Ringo. Ringo was friends with the Lunari council member, Echo Luon and Echo was friends with Brandon and North. So diplomacy was made with Ringo going on the premise that a friend of a friend should help each other out and soon it worked. Ringo had accepted Seahaven's proposal of Seahaven becoming a somewhat protectorate of Vinovia so it didn't have to go under Kartek or the other party going after Lunari land, Ultima.
This would only last so long however as Ringo, along with other names such as DukeSoulEater, Howertt and few others were caught of duping severe amounts of money and got banished and blacklisted from the Realm of Rathnir forever. The banishment of Ringo was done before Seahaven could join Vinovia would become official, so Seahaven would have to look for another way to protect itself just in case Kartek or Ultima would declare war on it for it's massive pieces of land it now controlled. However Seahaven now had a slight advantage on it's side.
==== The Empire Expands ====
With Captain North becoming second in command of the entire Lunari Empire and with permission of the Pheonix Empress Rosa Rune. Right before the Lunari Empire collapsed. Captain North had spent hours shipping out the equipment and gear out of the Lunari Storage and Armory and into Seahaven's stockpile with the last and final act of taking the entire Lunari Treasury which was worth over 20 Million Dollars, boosting Seahaven's strength and influence by a large amount over the rest of the continent.
With Seahaven's coffers and stockpile now having enough to last a full war and with the new knowledge that Ringo had been banished with most of Kartek's treasury. Seahaven made a sort of deal with the Karteki's and Ultimans no longer was majorly worried about the Karteki or Ultiman threat upon them and soon started to make slight diplomatic relations with both. However now with the threat of invasion gone from Seahaven, there was still a lot for the small new Plagosi states as soon Ultima had taken the small nation of Amberia through a massive victory. So Seahaven took advantage of this and decided to help out their fellow Plagosi brothers.
Captain North soon talked with the leaders of Czervoslavia, Aurora Novum, Zendenia and the Osteri Plagosi Trading Company aka OPTC if they were willing to join Seahaven as a vassal as Seahaven now with their newish deal with both Kartek and Ultima, these nations wouldn't be invaded so easily and protected to do their own things in their community. The first nation to join Seahaven was Czervoslavia, soon followed Aurora Novum. While the new state of Zendenia ruled by Rosa Rune was talked too, they didn't seem too worried about being invaded as they had new friends that had big connections to the Hands. After a lot of talking with the leader of the OPTC, Edd. OPTC soon also agreed to become a vassal of the Seahaven Empire.
And in a span of just around 1 month, Seahaven had grown to be the continents next power with owning most of Plagos, however some problems began to appear, some small but some very big.
==== The Novian Independence ====
A lot of Seahaven's new influence and claims on the continent relied on small outposts scattered all around on the mainland, one of these was Vindur's Pub, under the care of Filmcom. Vindurs Pub was situated right on the border between the new Republic of Novum, ruled by Adino and the small portion of land under direct Seahaven control. Adino had joined the Seahaven Empire with one ambition in mind, to make a Holy Roman Empire of Plagos and wanted Seahaven to be it, where the states had almost complete autonomy and the emperor could be elected. When the Nordessons heard of this, they didn't really like the idea so they just put it on hold.
One day however, Adino asked Filmcom about making Vindurs Pub a sort of international market where they can make the Seahaven Empire become even richer then it is now and all Filmcom had to do was hand over Vindurs Pub to him. Filmcom persuaded by Adino's words agreed and soon handed over Vindurs Pub to Adino without consulting the Nordessons. Soon enough Vindurs Pub was now in Novia's direct hands and Adino took advantage of the situation and now proclaimed it as Novian land, using many reasons to justify this annexation. At this point, the Nordessons were fed up with Adino and Adino was also fed up with the Seahaven Government for not doing his idea and soon broke the treaty he did with Seahaven and declared independence to go and join Kartek as a vassal. With the deal Seahaven had with Kartek, Seahaven couldn't do much but wish Novia farewell.
==== The Nox Aeterna War ====
Soon enough, Seahaven got a call from it's southern neighbor of Zendenia, it was from Rosa Rune calling that Basil had returned and took over the Vinovian lands in Plagos and founded the Realm of Asarakaen and now moved to conquer Nox Aeterna. Both Brandon and North were worried about Basil as he still had many powerful connections and influence that could lead to a massive war, Basil also around the same time had demanded the entire Lunari treasury from Captain North, North however never responded really.
With the new war brewing down south of Seahaven in the old capital city of Nox Aeterna, Seahaven decided to stay out of it as it truly wasn't their problem. Rosa Rune with still ownership of the city gave it to Sylvania for them to deal with the threat. Even with the new change of leadership over Nox, Basil remained determined to war it. 
Despite now Nox being under direct protection of the Hands, the city was left defenseless as Rosa had allowed a great sacking of it with many citizens and players coming and taking whatever they can from the Lunari storage and war room. This now came to bite Rosa and Sylvania in the rear a bit, as now most the Lunari gear, including potions and many more were now gone. So this lead Rosa Rune to do an extreme option of getting the gear back from Seahaven.
Rosa Rune would lie a little bit to Staff saying that Captain North had stolen all of the war gear from Nox Aeterna and that she would like it returned, and so with what the staff thought was a major theft, would ban Nordesson North Norcician from the world for a couple of weeks. When North found out about his ban, he soon wanted to find out why and soon talked with staff who later replied to him that he was reported for theft, North was stunned as he doesn't really steal from others but soon found out quite easily that it was Rosa who reported him for shipping out the Lunari gear out of Nox Aeterna and into Seahaven.
Captain North felt a little betrayed as it was a friend who had given him permission to move the stuff out, get him banned and say he was stealing it. Soon enough however the whole thing was resolved, but it was around the holidays so staff didn't do anything for a whole week until finally, North could come back to his banishment and watch what is happening during the Nox War.
In the end of the whole war, it was a tie. Basil had managed to enter the city and blow it to bits but didn't manage enough points to secure victory while the Sylvanian hands managed to barely defend the city. Basil swore he would try again coming next year, but that never came and the Nox War ended in nothing but a blown up town, tarnishing the Lunari Legacy even more which some in Plagos speculate was the real purpose of the Nox War anyways.
However with Basil's loss, the Nordessons and Government were now much less worried about him but now had a new nation on their doorstep, the Hand Empire of Sylvania. Seahaven's worries however were calmed as after a bit of talking, relationships were restored with the Zendenians who had a good enough relationship with Sylvania, the friend of a friend strategy was at work again.
==== The Conflicts for Czervoslavia ====
After the Nox Aeterna War, Seahaven would start to secure their territory, encouraging their vassals to be incorporated into the empire as a state instead of a vassal. Mostly due to one thing, War was on the horizon again. The Nordessons soon got word from their friends in Novia that Adino, one of the chancellors of the state, was trying to convince the government and the Novian people to go to war against Seahaven and to divide it's vassal of Czervoslavia into many pieces, creating many new states and giving away land to any other nation that supported them.
The Nordessons began to talk to Jeffeej, the Karteki Emperor about the subject and the response was that they would stay out of it. So Seahaven's worries of a big war between Kartek and Seahaven were calmed down but the Novians weren't backing down and soon would have more allies backing them.
===== The Elupolis Tensions =====
The State of Elupolis, a city state that was formally in the empire soon joined under Novia while in the Kartek Empire. The people from Elupolis were ambitious and ever since the days of being under Lunaris, wanted to expand from their small town and to control all of the northern mainland continent, however when they asked Captain North, who was in charge of managing new states on the mainland after the Plagatean Empire collapsed. Captain North told them it was simply not possible for multiple reasons. One was Seahaven already had claims in the area and the Nordessons weren't willing to give it up and two, Empress Rosa Rune had given a major chunk of the land to a person named Atowi who soon made a claim they wouldn't give up.
The decision of giving Atowi land in Plagos in itself at the time was a very unpopular decision with the Lunari council that only solidified the council's suspicion that Rosa was a ineffective leader of such as vast and problem filled empire, but the people from Elupolis saw this either way as a betrayal from the Lunari Government. So once the Lunari Empire collapsed, the people from Elupolis rushed to claim as much land as they could, putting down new claims across the northern mainland and talking to squatters about joining them. Two of these squatters were in Czervoslavian Waters.
The Nordessons caught this and confronted the squatters and Elupolis's government about the issue, all Seahaven asked is for the squatters in the Czervoslavian waters either move, delete their claims or join either the Czervoslavian or Seahaven Nation claim. Elupolis's Leadership however was stubborn with Anoicedude telling the Seahaven diplomats "Ok, Not anymore, its in our territory now". The Nordessons soon brought the topic to Elupolis's overlord, Novia and talked to the leader, Jeropod. Jeropod told the people in Elupolis to knock it off but Elupolis didn't listen, soon Elupolis wanted to bring the other leader of Novia, Adino, in to the talks since Adino supported their actions.
These diplomatic talks were named the "Monkey Ball" talks by the Seahaven Government to show how much stupidity had gotten into the situation. Adino and Elupolis against Jeropod and the Seahaven Empire. This debate went on for more then a week, with multiple Seahaveni Viking raids against Elupolis's towns where only people in Elu's Government were killed and loot taken while it's citizens were given food and other treasures, the raiding got so bad that one time while the Nordessons were talking with friends in their Discord VC, the leader of Elupolis, What1389, joined and yelled at the Nordessons and also folks who were in the rest of the VC to apologize for their actions and that the Nordessons were abusing their staff powers and that they were toxic after telling the Seahaven Government to "Fuck off". The Nordessons however laughed and the hypocrisy, but they felt pity so they stopped raiding Elu. Even despite everything, the whole conflict mostly ended in nothing but worsen relations between the Novian Government, the Seahaven Government and the Elu Government. But did leave a clear answer on one of the questions Seahaven had about Novia or more or less, its leader Adino. Adino wanted to War Seahaven and partition Czervoslavia into making Nova-Regna and giving the rest of the land away and Elupolis would help him, after Elupolis started to spreade propaganda that Seahaven is the successor of Lunaris and that the Seahaven Empire brings tyranny the same way Lunaris did.
===== The Del's Ostrog Rebellion =====
During very early 2024 and very late 2023, Seahaven had a prominent squatter that appeared, a claim named Del's Ostrog filled with a group of Russians who constantly made racist remarks about Czervoslavia's Slavic leaders. The people of Del's Ostrog declared independence from Czervoslavia and also in turn the Seahaven Empire, this would not stand and the Nordessons already made preparations to war the squatters.
The War itself was planned and the battle would be easy, really easy as the squatters had over-expanded their claim into defenseless land which would be easy to place capture blocks. The only problem Seahaven would have to worry about is the squatters getting foreign support, as some spies had told the Nordessons that Adino would send money and other aid to the squatters just to make the war harder for Seahaven, however there was a new Stoneworks rule that prevented foreign aid to squatters at war that are almost brand new. So that pretty much sealed the fate of the squatters. When the war came, it was easy, the Russians had been caught using hacks and still lost, being killed over 109 times and the claim being 150'd. After the claim was given to MrFootball from Czervoslavia and the Seahaveni had to deal with the squatters malding on how bad the server is and calling the Seahaveni and Czervoslavs slurs. Soon Seahaven made an announcement where they made sure Novia would see it to hopefully put it into Adino's thick skull that if a war between Novia and Seahaven ever did break through, it would not be a war they would win.
The Following below is the Announcement from the Seahaven Empire when they won the Del's Ostrog war,"To people of the Nordessonate and Beyond, Today the pathetic Del's Ostrog rebellion whose foolish attempts at succession faced nothing but the Wrath of the Seahaveni Vikings and her allies who gave them death and humiliation. 
For about a month now they have been shouting that they would win their independence and kill us easily if the two sides ever got into a war, now let's see what happened when that war actually happened. They get killed over 109 times, their claim capitulated in less then 48 minutes and now their city left in ruins, truly something isn't it?
 Now the banners of Seahaven and Czervoslavia fly high above their city as it is returned under the control of our Czervoslavian friends.
 Now don't be a fool, or else you will face the Wrath of the Seahaven Vikings and her allies 
May the Gods have Mercy on our Enemies for we shall Show them None!"
