Dark kingdom

the Dark kingdom is a country, led by a king or queen, co-ruled by a voted president today. The kingdom lies in the continent of Unotzka, precisely in the very west.

## History

the kingdom was officially founded 60.000 years ago by the first dark king Shevorrus van Dakither on the day of his coronation. He died 60 years after and gave the throne to his son Karum Dakither. Under his reign, the tribe wars of the Dark kingdoms started. In this 300 year long conflict, the different tribes of Dhakes that didnt want to assimilate to the kingdom, fought against the kingdom, losing in the process. With the Ziczer tribe being the last asimilated tribe in the year 12000 of the third era. With this, the kingdom was completed and the Dhake race under one banner. Queen Aztrona van Dakither I then founded the noble houses, making normal Dhakes part of higher society. A trend that spread around Unotzka from the supreme species at the time, Aztrona wanted to follow.

### the brass age

the brass age or "age of the rough storms" how its calle in the northern world. The brass age in the south is known for the great religion war, a war that would form the religious landscape of the south for the next thousand years. The Nocturnism was and is the most powerful religion in the kingdom. In these times, the king Klochis Dakither II and the gods prodigy, Varik Tharning tried to spread the nocturnism, because they felt threatened by the neighbouring kingdom Golemacz, that adapted the Arkuaism from kyklopian ambassadors. The dragon of Orgyshté ended the great religion war with the Dark kingdom as the losers. The nocturnism couldn´t spread beyond the Dark kingdom and the Shadow kingdom. The proud king Klochis was so embarassed by this defeat that he isolated his kingdom from the rest of the world. His head was chopped of at the end of the brass era because the satellite villages of the kingdom were attacked by his neighbouring kingdoms that wanted to travel through the kingdom, because geographically, it stood right between Unotzka and Breo and therefore had a ipmortant travelling route. Fed up by his cowardice, the people of the Dark kingdom stormed the place and killed the king.

## Politics
