Kingdom of Elliom

## General Information

The Kingdom of Elliom, or shortened as Elliom, is a kingdom on the Moundmakers server and is currently the largest in total land area, with its towns at the time of writing controlling over 2300 claimed chunks of land and housing 5 members. Elliom was founded on August 23rd, 2023 by LimitedHistory and Vectronr with its capital seated among several sets of floating islands near the southwest corner of the map and was the first kingdom to be founded on the server. The Kingdom of Elliom officially adopted the religion of Doshism on August 29th, 2023, after their God, bananapants3462, erected an accidental monument, known as the Bolungkaka Holy Site. It is located underneath the house of Masons in Elliom Capital. This also makes Elliom Capital the holiest city in the Doshist religion. Considering that the religion is only practiced by Kingdom of Elliom residents, however, such a trend is unsurprising. At its height, the Kingdom of Elliom had 16 members, but 2/3rds of its manpower was lost during The Dark Age and additional members have been lost since then. Despite this, it was one of the least-affected by The Dark Age and continues to grow stronger in other ways. Additionally, much of its former manpower can be called on once again in a time of need. Its once-unending construction has, however, come to a standstill due to a variety of factors, although the Elliomer Land Reclamation Project's second phase, completed on September 24th, 2023, did involve a resurgence in this industry as well.

## Towns

Since the founding of Elliom Capital, the kingdom has also grown to include 19 additional towns, those being Crowmure, Shadowmoor, Grayvale, Sharif, ALOT, Arbreton, Aspermont, Afaya, Bayle, Knoxmoor, Coalition, Aetherreich, Skyridge, Cloudhaven, snout, Monastery, Wildlands, Usaje, Kektania, and Teufort:

* The town of Crowmure acts as a resource hub for the Kingdom of Elliom and primarily is used for collection of lumber.
* Grayvale is a minor settlement to the north of Elliom connected by a 2 kilometer pathway followed by a short ferry across an ocean and is the old location of the capital city of the Kingdom of Kektania.
* Sharif is a small military outpost situated at the far northeast corner of the map.
* Shadowmoor was a special autonomous region within Elliom that was originally a camp founded by darktyui. When it was discovered that Elliom and darktyui's camp were located within such close proximity, it was decided that some form of alliance or merger was in each side's best interest. This led to the formation of the town of Shadowmoor as an autonomous region within the Kingdom of Elliom. However, during The Dark Age, its original lord, darktyui, and resident, Coco1441, were lost. As such, the Elliomer crown took direct control over the region. Shadowmoor is also connected by the E-2 portion of the Elliom Roadway Network through the treacherous inner wastelands under the floating islands that lie between it and Elliom Capital. Much of the wastelands were tamed during the Elliomer Land Reclamation Project, but portions still exist close to Shadowmoor. They have, however, been claimed as of September 25th, 2023, vanquishing hostile entities and making the town a de facto Elliom Border Settlement.
* ALOT used to be the capital of the Kingdom of ALOT but was conquered by Elliom crusaders LimitedHistory, bananapants3462, Bowmanium, Vectronr, and Masons in around 2 minutes with little opposition in the Elliomer-ALOT War. Former ALOT residents were originally invited to rejoin the town and to live as they formerly did with an autonomous status, however this policy has caused strain on the remaining residents of ALOT after former member AirZeus21 used such privileges to raze and plunder the town and has since been removed. In response, Bowmanium destroyed all remaining structures within ALOT and left it defenseless. All former ALOT members were designated as enemies of the state during The Great War, although many of them have returned to neutral relations with Elliom, most notably AirZeus21 after the founding of the Kingdom of Solely.
* Arbreton, Aspermont, Afaya, Bayle, and Knoxmoor, collectively known as the Elliom Border Settlements, are sparsely-populated, underdeveloped towns outside of Elliom Capital. The most notable of these are Arbreton, which has been partially developed by Vectronr; Bayle, which has been partially developed by malewaif; and Aspermont, which has been partially developed by LimitedHistory for more dangerous buildings and functions. As of recently, the town of Shadowmoor is now also considered to be part of the Elliom Border Settlements as all of the territory existing between the original 5 and the town of Shadowmoor has been claimed as of September 25th, 2023.
* Coalition was conquered from the Kingdom of Coalition as part of the events leading up to The Great War and is a completely uninhabited land located in the harsh snowy plains.
* Aetherreich and Skyridge were conquered from the Kingdom of Aetherreich as part of The Great War. While the Kingdom of Aetherreich was set to become an ally of the Kingdom of Elliom, Elliom could take no chances that they could fall into the wrong hands. As such, it was seized by LimitedHistory and bananapants3462 from resident JustJeans9896 who had joined due to Aetherreich's open status. The Kingdom of Aetherreich also ruled over the town of Cloudhaven, but it ceased to be when Aetherreich's capital fell. As such, Cloudhaven was refounded a few days later by LimitedHistory in the same spot it once stood. It is important to note that Aetherreich in particular has come under full occupation and sole jurisdiction of the Doshist church as demanded by bananapants3462 in return for his blessing for the war. Aetherreich's original members have also not come online again since the end of The Dark Age and the First Era.
* The town of snout is located where Camp LordSetesh used to be, right outside of the Monastery and along the Elliom Roadway Network between Grayvale and Crowmure. As the camp was deleted due to inactivity, its cabin was claimed by LimitedHistory as the town of snout, and lordship was transferred to kimbe0423 as a gift.
* Monastery was conquered from the Kingdom of Monastery on September 15th as part of The Great War. The town was raided but otherwise left untouched.
* Wildlands, Usaje, and Kektania were annexed by LimitedHistory after the Kingdoms of Wildlands, Usaje, and Kektania respectively fell to inactivity during The Dark Age. They are all considered to be casualties of The Great War. All three towns are razed and plundered similar to ALOT, although the extent of damage is significantly less extreme. The Wildlands Tree in the town of Wildlands, however, is now in a state of disrepair caused by an unknown party. It is unknown who is responsible or when it happened.
* Teufort and the entirety of the Kingdom of Teufort were acquired by the Kingdom of Elliom when the kingdom's ruler, theLordJanet, ceded control of all territory to anyone who was interested. The town of Teufort consists of two administrative subregions, Teufort and Badwater, the latter being named after the town of Badwater that was renamed to become Teufort. This event is now known as the Elliomer Acquisition of Teufort.

### Settlement Information

The Kingdom of Elliom is a thriving hub for technological and agricultural industries and is also home to highly-skilled craftsmen, blacksmiths, masons, and miners. Before The Great War, it would trade in goods related to these industries, but it was almost entirely an importer as its vast reserves of gold and other assets allow it much economic freedom to this day. These reserves of gold were severely diminished as a result of the founding of the Elliom Border Settlements but have since been replenished to levels even exceeding the levels before their founding.

## Wars and Conflicts

As of current, Elliom has been to war with the Kingdom of Wildlands in the Elliomer-Wildlandish War, the Kingdom of ALOT which it declared war on and conquered in the Elliomer-ALOT War, TicketBee1738's Camp in the Ransack of Camp TicketBee1738 and the Second Ransack of Camp TicketBee1738, the Kingdom of Coalition in the Coalition-Elliom War, and an immense number of combatants in The Great War. These wars are primarily believed to have come about due to the extremely strict interpretation of Doshism taken up by the Kingdom of Elliom's king, LimitedHistory, with such wars being sanctioned by bananapants3462 himself. An attempt was made by the Kingdom of Monastery's head monk, Potato\_Paladin, to change this Doshist interpretation in the mind of LimitedHistory, but this attempt appeared to have only strengthened his feelings of xenophobia and interest in imperialism and expansionism. Such an attempt may even be one of the leading causes of the outbreak of The Great War. The Kingdom of Elliom's imperialistic tendencies seem to have somewhat subsided following the end of The Great War, but it is unknown if such state will remain.

## Politics

Elliom has previously been approached for alliances and guarantees of safety by several other kingdoms due to its immense power, fortifications, and defenses. It has not accepted any other alliances, guarantees, or treaties except for a would-be alliance with the Kingdom of Aetherreich that never came to formality and an alliance with the Kingdom of Teufort on September 15th, 2023 that ended with the Elliomer Acquisition of Teufort, effectively a merger. The kingdom's leader, LimitedHistory, did also agree to meet with CanineMinecraft, a representative of the Anti-Elliom Coalition in the Summit of LimitedHistory and CanineMinecraft to exchange information.
