History Of New Mycellium

### Pre-Tribal Wars New Mycellium

Before the tribal war, the Mycelites landed on the beaches of what would later be named Razor Bayde. They initiated the construction of roads, mines, and the first housing in what would come to be known as Crystalia, New Mycellium's first city and capital. In the initial days, adventurer and regent Lichen the 2nd set out to name the areas and seas surrounding the desert. The entire desert was christened after a renowned Mycellite Knight named "Terfezia." The Northern Sea received the name the Clavarian Sea, honoring the first follower of the goddess of Sea and Luck. The sea beneath the water was named after the First Mycellite Princess to devote herself to the goddess of sea and luck, "Psathyrella Aquatica."

While exploring, the regents still had the duty of preserving the deceased they had brought with them from Old Mycellium. Consequently, they commenced the construction of the grand Catacombs of New Mycellium. When faced with food shortages and the onset of starvation, the people built a shrine to the god of fertility, and soon a farm thrived around it. The Regents and the people found joy as the fruits of New Mycellium's labor transformed from resource shortages to requiring a new warehouse to store the abundant goods they were accumulating. With the newfound resources, the Throne Room and the Aqueduct were established. Everything was progressing smoothly and contact with outsiders seeking friendly relations had commenced. Little did they know that a significant event was about to unfold, one that would solve their empty throne.

### The Tribal War

At this point Mycellium was considered just some other tribe and not a fully-fledged nation. However, Mycellium was not the only tribe: Kreilohoya was home to many tribes, all vying for dominance and to be recognized as a nation by other nations. When tribal relations dropped to their lowest ever, it was decided that the only way to prove they were worthy of recognition was war. The Regents of Mycellium would meet up with a king to the north of them known as The Great Axent, uniting their armies for the upcoming violence that was about to occur.

When the Tribal Wars began, the combined armies of Axent and Mycellium prayed to the Mycepthian God of tactics for swift victory. After a ritual dance and song, they headed north to Axent's Kingdom, then known as "Neomia". However, after a horse was injured and the tracks became dangerous, they would turn back and head to the desert. There they sat at the banks of a river when the northern army of Amthala arrived who outnumbered Mycellium Army. Mycellium would get the first kill as Amthala attempted to cross the river without success. This would lead to rockets and arrows being exchanged with the first casualty being a Amthala soldier. The Mycellium army would meet its match when Amthala built a makeshift bridge and crossed into the desert., The Mycellium army fell quickly after that, but Axent survived.

Axent fled north after the crushing defeat in the desert, determined to see the war to its end. He would go to claim many lives in the name of prestige and power. Eventually the last of the tribal armies decided to finish this once and for all in a climactic duel: Axent would go to fight 3 men at once in an arena and defeat them all. As the last tribal fighter standing and the victor of the Tribal Wats, it was clear to all those in New Mycellium that the Mycepthia gods had chosen Axent as their king.

### Safety in Clavaria and the Recognition of New Mycellium

Axent's divinely ordained victory convinced many Mycelites to move to his new Kingdom of Neomia, which was renamed to Clavaria, seeking safety and resources. Since Axent was too young to rule (he would need to be 100 to be crowned), he would only be king in name, and a regency would handle the actual governance of his new kingdom. The Regents and the Mycellites first came to a temporary agreement in which Clavaria would unite with Mycellium and rule both lands, but this proposition ultimately proved to be unpopular and was scrapped.

A separate idea was then concocted: The Clavarian Commonwealth. Two Kingdoms, One King. Axent would still be the nominal monarch of both nations, but New Mycellium would be ruled by its local Regents and retain near complete autonomy. This proposal was ultimately accepted as Mycelites rushed back to their ancestral lands, now elevated to a fully-fledged nation in and of itself. Thus begins the history of Modern New Mycellium.

### Federalization and the Birth of the Iradian Empire

In the aftermath of the War in the Desert, with New Mycellium and Urubus narrowly escaping complete dissolution, the nations that comprised the Clavarian Commonwealth came together to discuss the future: New Mycellium, The Urubus Republic, the Kingdom of Clavaria, and the Republic of Aureum, the newest member of the commonwealth. In this meeting, certain facts became apparent, the most crucial one being that a foreign power, Farmo, utilized its combined strength and influence to prevent the entire commonwealth from assisting Mycellium and Urubus in the conflict. The Commonwealth system had shown its weakness; diplomatic ties were no longer enough to deter aggression from foreign powers, and the nations had to seek closer ties in the form of a federal union. It also became apparent that Clavaria was no longer the senior partner in the commonwealth, but that Urubus, originally a Clavarian colony, had eclipsed its motherland and had come to lead the commonwealth.

As such, a decision was made that would change the fate of these nations, and of Kreilohoya, forever: The Commonwealth would be reorganized into the new Iradian Empire, named after the capital city of Urubus, Iradia, with Alexbx128, leader of Urubus, as its Emperor. From this point onward, New Mycellium would cease to be an independent nation, but would become a realm state under the Federal Iridian Empire, as would Clavaria, Urubus, and Aureum. When the constitution of the new Empire was voted into law, it was decided that the leaders of the former nations would serve as Lords of Iradia, meaning they would retain power and govern their respective realms as before. The Empire also created a senate in which representatives from all realm states would come together and advise the Emperor and pass legislation.
