Akarid

Akarid, officially the Jarldom of Akarid, was a nation in Rathnir.
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Akarid began just outside the city of Elupolis where a player called Floodedryhme801 built a bunker and soon recruited some other members who would play a key role in the establishment of the nation after many days of planning the group set out to a small island off the coast of Bardonia where they lived peacefully for a week or so which is now considered the first Akaridian golden age during this time the founders got to know each other and began planning for the future of akarid.
=== Akaridian Dark Age ===
Akarids would not live in peace for long as after that week they were kicked off of the island with many players going inactive after these events, but most of the founders stayed in contact with each other and formed a stronger bond during this time. WalnutTundra855 and Theonetrupotato became good friends through there shared enjoyment of drinking and Akarid, Achaoticgod and WalnutTundra855 became friends through their shared hope of finding a home for Akarid. Theonetrupotato founded Potato's back alley deelz which later became a successful business. Akarid spent many weeks in this dark age but never lost hope they knew that one day they would find a home.
=== Kaisseriech of Lavdi ===
Shortly after the end of the first Akaridian golden age the Akaridians fled to Lavdi in search of a home for their people, Lavdi agreed to give them some land to create a town if Akarid helped them defeat some rebels, Akarid agreed and shortly after fought alongside the Lavdians against the rebels becoming closer friends and allies in this time. Lavdi succeeded in their goal of defeating these rebels, unfortunately Lavdi could not give them the land and so the Akaridian dark age continued but they continued to stay friends and allies with Lavdi. The dark age did not last long after these events, shortly after Lavdi's victory Floodedrhyme801 the High Jarl of Akarid informed the Akaridian High government that the Celestial Order of Elu would grant them land to create a town which Akarid gratefully accepted.
=== Time in the COE ===
Akarid began setting up their town and building quiet a few houses and began housing there newer members. for the most part this was an uneventful part in Akaridian history, Akarid spent many happy days in COE but there newer player base did not share the same liking to the COE as the founders did this would eventually lead to a great schism where half of the members of Akarid and one of the founders Achaoticgod left and formed the Realm of Elonia this is a rather touchy subject so I will not speak further on it. Akarid then entered a dark age but not for long as they soon had more recruits and were growing quickly. During this time the Akaridians would grow a rivalry with the Khanate or the Khans as Akarid referred to them as. This would lead to a skirmish outside the town of alua
=== Remigration to homeland ===
after months of grinding Akarid had got enough money and purchased the original island they once lived on from Cypria. Akarid were finally an independent nation once again and began building and moving people to the island. Akarid then continued to grow its community and grind even more so that one day they may become a dominant empire. This time is when Akarid finally returned to the same happiness and peace as they had in the first Akaridian golden age. Akarid would grow their population in this time and one of their good friends Blockbros300 would buy land and call it Stralhorn which would become a vassal of Akarid.
== Royal family ==
The Akaridian Royal family have the surname Episkfyr and have many members. The head of the family and eldest member is Floodedrhyme801 who's age is unknown but is suspected to be well over 600 years. The Episkfyr Family are descended from the sun god Soltar in Derrelism and are protected and guided by him this is why there is a sun in the Akarid flag. Soltar has granted the Episkfyr family the gift of extremely long lives, he also granted them resistance to any climate because of there determination and ability to adapt in any environment.
== Culture ==
The Akaridian people do not lose hope and have always keep things positive a common phrase and chant used by the Akaridians is "LONG LIVE AKARID". The Akaridian people have received a blessing from the Sun god of Derrelism that allows them to survive in any climate. Akaridians are known for their love for drinking and fighting through this they would become friends with many people. Overall the Akaridians are a group of determined people who never give up on their nation. The culture of the island in the beginning of its rise was based on a nordic architecture but after a rough raid that happened while most of its citizens were inactive, the whole city was destroyed. It was redesigned and built by a player called MrBatis in an ancient Greek architecture.
