## PogBar

### Overview

The Pog-Bar period, started with the founding of Pillars of the Sun, a quite large city at the time within the current Andorian borders. The Pog-Bar got its name from the chain of bars that HimoS401, the original founder of Pillars of the sun, owned.

## Kingdom of Andorn

### Overview

The Old Andorn period began on December 14, 2020 when PogBar was reorganized by HimoS401. Its territory was originally claimed by Pog Bar, in Pillars of the Sun. Himo would later unite the surrounding land under the Kingdom of Andorn.

The old Andornian period saw great growth in the size, population and power on Rathnir's political stage; the population grew so much that it comprised 2% of Rathnir's population at the time.

At the end of Himo's term as leader, he would be couped by Thunderfantv and Dotto, but were decimated allowing him to escape and leave Rathnir. Thunderfantv and Dotto would assume control of Andorn and take Northorn's Eastern lands which made up the future foundations of Andorn's future borders.

## Ryzani Purchase

### Overview

The Ryzani purchase began as inactivity between the Andornian ranks started to grow to unsubstantial numbers for the Kingdom. HimoS401 was one of the last player that was active in the Andornian communities, so HimoS401 decided, that the only thing he can do now is sell Andornian territories to a foreign power. On 15th of March 2021, HimoS401 sold the entirety of Andorn to Ryzan for 100,000$.

"I have sold Andorn to Ryzan. After weeks of being dead, I decided to profit off the inactivity" ... " CanadianToss is in (mostly) full control over Andorn."

Andorn would be a part of the First Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire until it collapsed 1 day after the purchase due to infighting between Coffee and Canadian. The Andorn lands would be annexed into the Second Tsardom of Ryzan.

## Bardonia Annexation

### Overview

Following the dissolution of the Aurlunoren-Ryzani Empire, Andorn was incorporated into the Second Tsardom of Ryzan. Due to the chaos erupting from the AR Empire collapse, Bardonian troops managed to seize the city of Tossograd and multiple Ryzan cities with no resistance. Seeing how Ryzan was being ineffective in their government and suffering from the fallout from Aurlunor, the remaining Andorn people (Under the control of Realz) declared independence and sided with Bardonia as a vassal. This prevented Andorn citizens and cities to be damaged or attacked from the Bardonian forces and limit the conflict mainly to Ryzan.

## Holy Syltor Empire

### Overview

The Holy Syltör Empire (HSE) began as a result of Bardonia's conquest of the Second Tsardom of Ryzan and the beginning of the Andorn crisis, and the death of the Bardonian Chancellor. These events as well as inactivity allowed Andorn to become fragmented until it broke up into three different independent states: Savras, Wivamovia and Heli. All of these states would claim portions of former Andorn land across the region. Savras would create the Holy Syltörian Empire (HSE) under the leadership of Hernicii, which acted in many ways similar to the real-life Holy Roman Empire, having one central leader called a Kaiser and then having a group of counts and other noble titles. The HSE is now regarded as a period of instability and player inactivity, although it has shaped the cultures, traditions and governmental structure of the Andorn lands to this day.

## Bardonia Re-annexation

### Overview

The HSE was later (May 2021) reintegrated along with the Kingdom of Askonia, Wivamovia, and Heli into the Bardonian empire acting as empire within an empire with an Andorn central government. Although it somewhat has kept its governmental structure of the HSE along with some reforms to centralize the government with the total power above the Kaiser was the Bardonian chancellor.

For the Bardonians, Andorn was just one of their many provinces, and it acted as such in many ways, but it still had few differences, most notable of which where the unique symbols, few differences in law (see Imperial Andornian Law), and a certain amount of autonomy form the Bardonians. A large amount of stability and centralization would occur under Bardonia to form the modern borders of Andorn and political structure.

## 1st Empire of Andorn

### Overview

Main article: First Empire of Andorn
As the Allium-Coalition war was preparing to begin, Lucius Von Savras (Kaiser of Andorn) quickly moved to secure the Andorn territories under his main control in case it was necessary to break off from Bardonia. When the Allium-Coalition War broke out, Lucius seceded from the Bardonian Empire and declared the Second Empire of Andorn a neutral state. This would not save the destruction of the war to come to the Pillars of the Sun and the Andorn loss of Salcar to Valle. (The loss of Salcar would set-up the future Second Andorn Crisis) During this period, the Andorn colony Hernicia in Yulara officially joined Andorn following the Bardonian Spring and later become a full province within Andorn in September.

### Overview

Main article: Second Empire of Andorn
On 8/26/2021, Capna (Head of Andorn Military) and Jingo(High Archon) hired Ulfaeng and convinced most of the Andorn military to support the removal of Kaiser Lucius from power. Capna had been a influential person in Andorn from creating the Andorn Legion and providing advice to the Kaiser. He did not support Andorn's non-intervention and isolationist policies which caused him partly to do the coup. To prevent outright civil war, the Lucius abdicated from power and transferred Kaisership of Andorn to Capna. Capna announced the 3rd Imperial Empire of Andorn. Immediately after this announcement, Avondale, Orilin, Areska, Savras, and Schwarzenberg declared independence from Andorn and formed a loyalist coalition vying for Lucius reinstated. The city of Ravaryea declared independence from the province of Fitchtenberg and the country Andorn and declared neutrality from both sides until the region stabilizes (Ravaryea thought that Fictenberg would side with the loyalist and bring the city to war). Fitchtenberg would declare independence and neutrality minutes later, but had more leaning ties to the Loyalists. For 4 hours, Patch and duel123abc protested the removal to Capna and gave a deadline for Lucius be reinstated or there would be war at the end of the day (Doing some discord funny business). Capna, seeing half the country falling apart, seceded his power and reinstated Lucius as Kaiser of Andorn with the promises of reforms and fled to Tortuga.

Main article: Andorn Confederation
On 02/06/2022, an military coup by the Black Dandelion sought to remove the Kaiser of Andorn (Oranje von Savras), Ryzan's leader, and Bardonia's Chancellor (Lucius Von Savras) starting the 3rd Andorn Crisis. This coup was moderately successful in Ryzan and Bardonia, but Black Dandelion Andorn failed to secure all of Andorn territory with Oranje von Savras dissolving the state and seceding from the Empire of Bardonia. The province of Annover was the headquarters of Black Dandelion while other provinces like Wivamovia, Askonia, Richteria, and the colony of Hernicia maintained themselves as independent states. The states of Areska, Avondale, Pillars, Orilin, Krakovia, Ardena, Falken-Obrithyll, and Kendalis would collectively form the Andorn Confederation under duel123abc (and later forced out by Oranje Von Savras with Lucius Von Savras backing). Wivamovia would have a border dispute with Andorn between Avondale control, Hernicia would join Halge due to Annover threats, and Savras + Areska would be sold by CharlieS401 to Norfthorn which Askonia would promptly buy Savras. Ardena, Krakovia, and Falken-Obrithyll would secede from Andorn to form Eskus (and later joined Askonia) and promply dissolve the Andorn Confederation after 3 months of existence.

## Imperial Remnant of Andorn (5th Empire of Andorn)

### Overview

Main article: Principalities of Andorn
In July 2022, former Andorn officials, displaced from the 4th Andorn Crisis, began to reconvene in the independent states of Orilin, Pillars of Sun, and Wivamovia to discuss the possibility of forming a new Andorn state. Negotiations were quickly established and the basis for the 5th Empire of Andorn was created when Orilin and PogBar agreed to merge together under CharlieS401. Wivamovia would establish itself as a self-governing region under Andorn. When the Wivamovia insurrection began, the final negotiations between Andorn and Wivamovia concluded and the 5th Empire of Andorn was proclaimed on 08/07/2022 and declared war on the Wivamovian Insurrectionists (whom later surrendered). Following the end of the insurrection, CharlieS401 would abdicate from the Kaisership of Andorn and it would be passed to Mel von Savras.

### Overview

Main article: Principalities of Andorn
In October 2022, the Imperial Remnants of Andorn would officially join as an annexed state into the Realm of Nieden. However, as Andorn ratified the annexation, the self-governing body of Wivamovia would attempt to illegally secede from Andorn in the Wivamovia Secession Attempt. This resulted in a near-war between the two states resulting in Wivamovia being independently added into the Nieden state (until it was overturned in February 2023 due to Wivamovia's illegal actions from the attempted secession) Following the New Year's. Otto von Savras would ascend to the Kaisership of Andorn after the abdication of Mel von Savras. In February 2023, Andorn would engage in a war against the Province of Ardena (Askonia) due to the unprovoked attack of Andorn's naval base in Hinomir by Arden Paramilitary Forces. The war would conclude in mid 2023 and Andorn reorganized into an Imperial March under the Soleannen Empire with Ardena fully integrating into Andorn and Rocksia as a shared territory between Synderia.
