## History

###### ===The First Age===

the oldest Oral history speaks of the first Celtic tribes arriving in the area around 7000 years ago, at which point they split into tribes and clans and settled around the religions. around this time, a local island, known as Otherland, came into contact with the substance Rot, slowly being eaten away at over the next 200 years, slowly becoming the modern mushroom biome it stands as today. the local tribes revered the island as the home of there gods, and worshiped the mushrooms and the rot, bringing it into there religion as the substance of the gods. around 6700 years ago, the first named tribe, the Ciberalis tribe, was formed on Faarmouth, quickly taking over the island and declairing the Countie of Berimuuth. old archeological remains around the eastern half of the island show remains of an ancient town, with pottery, crude iron tools, and shards of glass, showing that there society was well proficient in glassmaking and pottery. there nation prospered for around 400 more years until it was attacked by the old kingdom of Tetras, a Nubian empire to the west, and had its monarchy killed. Tetras held control over the island for nearly 10 years before its eventual colaps, leaving the island once again in a state of tribal warfare. 6200 years ago, the Island of Montecul was united under the Parparith Celts, yet was unable to defeat the Ancient Brittary Celts of Brittaresh. in the battle of Walteiger.

###### ===The Second Age===

this age, starting around 5000 years ago, begins with the defeat of Brittary Celts to and outside Nordic tribe called the Feilschen, being forced to flee to Faarmouth and quickly getting themselves a place as a powerful tribe. these Celts would quickly grow there power, taking over Faarmouth and the island of Montecul, and defeating the Feilschen people in the first conflicts. that state, becoming the Countie of Brittary, would soon become a menacing force in the region, even going as far to become one of the powerhouses of the ancient world. archeological digs of old Faarheil shown remains of iron and diamond weapons and armor, glass shards, and gold, showing that the town was incredibly wealthy at the time. in around 2500 years ago, the state fought multiple conflicts with old Tetras nations, and burned down the ancient city of Beldimus, on the now buffer territory's. 2000 years ago, the Feilschen attacked the powerful nation with a coalition of western nations, quickly destroying there power in the battle of Odriarch, in the great seas. the nation was pushed nearly off the edge of Faarmouth, before the remnant army's of Brittary, lead by Darimeth the Great, defeated the coalition in the battle of Faarheil, yet the city was destroyed. soon afterwards, Darimeth the great, last in the line of Brittary, was named by the council of Celts, a parliament of Celtic nations, the **Emperor of Thisworld, Emperor of man.** near his death around 30 years later, he split the title into 4, and claimed that the person who could unite the titles of the 4 corners of the world would be named emperor of man once more.

###### ===The New Age===

The New Age started around 1000 years ago, following the complete fall of the house of Brittary back into a small, squabbling tribe. around this time, Celtic mercenary's and shipwrights formed the Green Cap Pirates, and used the shores of Faarmouth as there base of operation to raid Tetras and other treasure ships. while not the most powerful group to ever exist, there captain, John "Greybeard" Wright, defeated a Verdenland Buster Call against them, and was named by the old pirate city of Port Royal **Emperor of the West**. with this title, the Greencaps where heavily targeted by multiple empires, eventually seeing Graybeard killed in battle, and falling from power. not much occurred between the fall of the Greencaps and the present, other than the discovery of a Ghost ship, now being seen as an abandoned Ulderash battleship, it quickly being stripped and blueprinted by locals, before being sealed for later use.

on June 1st, 2021, Ellan Wald, a exile from fjellheim, arrived via boat to the island and started to settle down before being discovered by local hunters. she was invited to meet the dying king, who saw here arrival as a gift from the gods and handed over the title of the Head of the House of Brittary to her before passing away. Ellan, instead of turning down the offer, embraced it and utilized her talent for political science and diplomacy to peacefully unite the incredibly weak tribes of the 4 islands under the House of Brittary. she gained the trust of the people by declairing Faarheil the capital and starting work on its rebuilding. she integrated the now small Greencaps Pirates into her state, making them official privateers and the head of her navy. on the 2nd of June, 20121, she declaired the creation of the Countie of Deirghal, Nation of World's end, and started up formal relations with Tetras, the now large neighbor to the west.

on June 3rd, 2021, BlueDragon of the newly formed Ellysian Empire, fled the state after being caught formatting a coup against there leader, after he had visions of the empire helping the colonizers of Rathnir take over Eldham. BlueDragon was accepted into Deirghal, quickly becoming highly respected for his ability's in magic and seeing the future

the State holds a Monarchy, held by the House of Brittary which has been in charge of the area of Faarheil for over 4000 years. the monarchy shares its power with an Elected Chief, elected by the people from one of the jarls of the state, or if they are a titled hero. a public council is utilized to create laws, introduce bills, open up public debate, and vote. the council is made up of anyone in the nation willing to participate, as the people in local culture are for unity and cooperation between one another. the public council votes on laws, and the king or Chief, based on weather the bill is for international or national problems, either accepts the voted bill or veto's it. any person can introduce a bill to be voted on, but only one's accepted by the council can be accepted by the king or chief. the Elected Chief deals with internal problems for the nation, signing onto public projects, internal laws, and homeland security. the king deals with international lawmaking and military decisions, like budget, diplomacy, and declaration of war. the Chief and King both cannot introduce legislation, but can announce there support for bills
