## History

### Settlements

An extremely large group of interdimensional adventures discovered the Crystal Realm, an isolated realm that supposedly had no intelligent life. All of them agreed to settle down in what became the Tulales Kingdom. They hunted and gathered and farmed, beginning to build the Integrated States. They began to bore children. But they were targeted by the animals in the local area, their crops were urinated on and fecal matter was scattered inside the river, rendering it undrinkable. They prayed day and night for a better life, unknown to them, their prayers were answered and a goddess granted them magic and the Quartz, the source of magic in the kingdom. They harnessed the magic and learned how to control it.

### Disagreements and Splitting Up

After a million years of peace and prosperity, civilians began to disagree on many things that the government did and what fellow civilians did. Tensions began to rise and a full on civil war was about to break out when the government said that they could leave and never come back if they hated it so much, a certain group broke off from the Integrated Kingdoms and left for good, some even leaving their family behind.

While traveling, they began to argue among themselves on where to go and how to live their lives, they split off yet again. Some went in the east, some in the north, and some in the west. Those in the North would form the Zirian Empire. Those in the West would form the Republic of Shaetus. Those in the East would form the Dasunid Kingdom.

More people began to leave and join these kingdoms or empire. By then, all of the Tulalean Government decided to reform the government and change their ways.

### Creation of the Tulales Kingdom

The Integrated States dissolved when the entire government became a monarchy, they personally selected the most loyal people to them throughout the entire journey and settlement to be aristocrats, noble family clans. Citrine Clan: Lord and Lady, Evert Clan: Duke and Duchess, Rossi Clan: Count and Countess.

The Monarchy had special magic to which Nora blessed herself, as a result, the monarchy is worshipped as the closest to Nora, mostly the women.

### Wurean Dynasty

The Wurean Dynasty was the first dynasty in the Tulales Kingdom. Often described as a new era and full of new things, silk imports were coming in and gold was being discovered, fashion exploded and suddenly people cared a lot more about appearances. The kingdom began to thrive under the Wurean Dynasty rule, in exchange for the silk imports, they exported gold and silver and other metals. The economy flourished.

Politically speaking, they also flourished. They gained new allies and was planning to expand their territory, willing to have a talk with the southwest Kingdom of Uyaigary.

### Colonized and Conquered by the Ziria Empire

The Ziria Empire wanted more territory and political control, so they invaded and killed off the entire royal family and declared the Tulales Kingdom no more, it was now just a mere piece of territory in the Ziria Empire. The economy came crashing down and imports and exports stopped. Every aspect of the Tulalean life was controlled by the Ziria Empire. Nobody was allowed to leave the kingdom, security was tightened and more guard jobs were open in hopes for more cooperative people. The Tulales Kingdom was powerful and the Ziria Empire knew they couldn't earn them as a ally or afford to have them as an enemy, as stated for one of the reasons for the colonization and conquering of the kingdom. They feared of what they were capable of so they took over before deeming them as a threat.

This is often dubbed the Dark Ages, as oppression was most common and many civilians were killed and Tulalean People were treated like second class citizens.

#### The Anti-Zirian Rebellion

While the kingdom remained in shackles, many people secretly stood up against the tyranny. They stole from the Zirian government, disrupted their imports and exports, and left taunting messages. They declared themselves to the Anti-Zirians. They created secret programs to help those in need and gathered more members each year, they were declared a terrorist organization by the Zirian Government.

The tensions began to climb even further when Zirian government leader, Xander Loveblood was murdered by somebody in the rebellion. It reached a boiling point when the Zirian Government discovered the rebellion's hideout and then ambushed them, they began to fight and and it was violent and deadly. The rebellion barely won because of one single person, the most powerful healer in Tulalean history, Aurelie was on their side and rapidly healed people, faster than the other side could comprehend and they drove out the Zirian Empire.

### Eheobuzar Dynasty

After the Zirian Empire control ceased, the rebellion became the new royal family and seized power. Political strength was increased and several government programs were created to help those in need. The government programs remain to this day. They began to export more gold again and even a lot of books.

At the same time, they hardly allowed Zirian citizens and those who did manage to enter the kingdom were treated poorly, like second class citizens, this was one of the reasons leading up the civil war.

### Tulalean Civil War

The Tulalean Civil War occurred because of inequality and the lack of respect the government had towards its citizens. It totaled 3 million deaths

#### Protests

Zirian people began protesting their unfair treatment, the government merely ignored it at the time, saying it would die off like any other protest but it only grew and even Tulalean citizens joined in. The government caught wind of this and banned protesting immediately after the most recent protest. Anybody who attempted to protest was arrested and put in prison for a year without bail.

#### Realizations

People began to realize the problems the government had, not just with inequality, in an act of illegal protest, people stopped going to their jobs etc. People stopped importing or exporting goods, the economy came crashing down. Again, the government caught wind of this and ordered that everybody do as they normal do, except it was mandatory and you would be arrested and have your record ruined if you got arrested.

#### Civil War Declaration

Having enough of the citizens, the government declared civil war and began to fight against the other side. Those who were on neither side were promptly escorted to a safe place where they wouldn't be affected by the war.

#### Back and Forth Ambushes

Each side ambushed each other back and forth, disrupted each other's supply chains, destroyed goods and exports, bombed each other's shelters. The government made a nuclear weapon and planned to launch it all everybody who was on the opposite side. The other side discovered about this and made biological weapons, planning to unleash viruses and deadly bacteria. They dumped the bacteria in the water to make many sick and many did get sick and die.

Discovering about biological warfare acted by the other side, the government did chemical warfare. The government ambushed a hideout with mustard gas and chlorine gas. The palace was crumbling and cities were destroyed, many people lost their homes.

#### Collapse of the Eheobuzar Dynasty and the End of the War

The war ended when a Tulalean person (unknown) singlehandedly murdered all of the royal family by poisoning their drinks with cyanide. According to the other side, nobody had any plans of killing the government/royal family, people suspect it was somebody inside the palace that killed them. Regardless though, victory was ensured for the other side. A new group of people stepped up be the royal family and declared that nothing like this, past or not, would ever happen again. They dissolved the rules and Zirian people were allowed the same rights as Tulalean people.

### Yezeral Dynasty

The current dynasty, began when a new family stepped in to be the royal family, they once again flourished and repaired the cities and palace, and made sure nobody was homeless and everybody got 3 meals a day. The Second Golden Era that it is dubbed, they updated history books

#### The Pacifist Degree

After the violent and bloody occurrences of the civil war and the Zirian Empire, as soon as Queen Beatrix the III ascended to the throne, she had some discussions with the aristocrats and made a decree that no more violence or wars would happen on Tulalean soil or that they would participate in fighting. They would only help deliver supplies to allies and help tend to wounded people during a war but that was it. From then on, they became mostly isolated, completely unaware of the Zirian Empire issues. They are described as the most isolated nation, oblivious to political problems and war. However, despite how pacifist the society is, they teach every detail of their history, violent or not. They do not want to cover up their history and pretend to be innocent.
