## History

### New Lord Era (Founding)

Main article: New Lord Era

Margo's Solary was formed as a mainly religious front worshiping the Solar Ancient Lords, Ancient Lord Gawain and Ancient Lord Escanor the Large. Its believes lie not on the Ancient Lords themselves, but on the thought that if they were to draw power from the sun, then the sun itself would obviously be above them.

The religion started with first messiah King Gingalain I, which claimed and proved time and time again through miracles and displays of magic to be wielding the famous Caliburn. He also claimed to have Ancient Lord blood, proclaiming to be the son of Ancient Lord Gawain himself. The rise of followers put an end to the New Lord Era as Margo's Solary was finally recognized as an independent nation at the start of the Rising Sun Era. The 'Margo' part of the name is a reference to the royal family's name - Gingalain Margo.

Due to the vast religious foundation of Margo's Solary, the Empire grew exponentially. The growth continued on even after King Gingalain I's death, developing various sourcery, magical, mechanical and scientific wonders capable of preserving and utilizing Caliburn's power. At the end of the Era, the whole Continent of Novus is either under the direct command of the Solary King or one of his vassals. Solis Academy is also founded at this time.

### Astrological Imbalance Era

Multiple uprisings and wars emerge as accusations of multiple vassals stealing Caliburn continue to excalate. The legendary sword is never found, but the Solary is forced to back down of the search after 200 years of no results. During these searchs, multiple vassal kingdoms are granted independence as result of bad political decisions and the fear of a larger rebellion agaisnt the main empire.

### Sea of Fortune Era

Scientific, magical and mechanical advances allow the exploration beyond the Edge. Although Margo's Solary had a headstart, the various other nations followed soon after. Note worthy competidors include, but are not limited to the Holy Kingdom of Corbenic and Berry's Waste Monarchy, both of which were previous vassals that were granted independency previously. Continent of Alius was found and colonization started at this Era.

### New times of Old Era

Main articule: New times of Old Era

The Continent of Enathis is discovered by Margo's Solary and a new civilization with ties to the Ancient Lords is made known - the Commonwealth of Dunes. In an attempt to conquer the new continent (proclaimed by Margo's has 'The new World') a war between the colonizers and the current inhabitants starts. While the other big empires don't recognize the Commonwealth as an actual realm, they share the opinion that the war is foolish.

The Commonwealth ends up displaying a military power that was underestimated by Margo's forces, which lead to multiple unnecessary loses. Margo's Solary couldn't attack the Commonwealth with full force either since the colonization of Alius was still on its way too and fights with Holy Kingdom of Corbenic and Berry's Waste Monarchy happened regularly.

The era is ended when Avalon is discovered, which leads both the Solary and the Commonwealth (heavily pressured by other nations) to preserve the island and investigate its ruins. 'The new world' is renamed to Continent of Enathis by King Gingalain III as the Ode to the Land is publicly read and Commonwealth of Dunes is officially declared the original occupying and independent nation of Enathis, being granted the right to keep the territory of their capital and the Ever Reaching Dunes.

### Lore Resurgence Era

With the alliance between both of Enathis' Empires, the exploration of Avalon begins. The results of these expaditions are never made public, but both Empires agree on keeping it secret while exploring further. The curiosity of other nations forces Berry's Waste Monarchy to launch a spy operation on Solary, which results on high political tensions when revealed at the Tragedy of Solis Academy - event that leaks the existence of spy operators and kills a great number of civilians.

The leaked info urges a small group of Solary Soldiers, self proclaimed the New Round Table, to take action against the Solary. These traitorous acts culminate on a civil war between the Solary's goverment and a new faction, self proclaimed Arthurian Independent Empire, with Rex Pendragon I at the forefront.

With the political tensions with Berry's Waste Monarchy at an all time high and the lack of suficient power to fight the Pendragon Blood - direct blood relation to the Ancient Lords, Solary was forced to back down and allow the Arthurian Independet Empire to settle itself as a proper Nation.

### Current Era

A treaty of peace is signed with Berry's Waste Monarchy which finally allows the tension to decrease between the two.

## Population

### Novus

Solary's population is a wide collection of races all connected to the Faith of the Sun. As such, all races are welcome and represent a portion of the population. Elfs, Dwarfs, Halflings, Human, Gnomes and Dragonborns are all common and equally respected in their own ways.

### Enathis

The population on Enathis consists of, as any other colony, departed families from the main land. As such, races as Elfs, Dwarfs, Halflings and Humans are abundant and racism between these is rare. Gnomes also exist, mainly in rural areas. Dragonborns are rare, but not unknown.

## Science and Magic

Solary is an Empire with vast ammounts of knowledge and power. They have studied the Ancient Lords power quite a lot thanks to artifacts such as Avalon's ruins and Caliburn. Solis Academy is a vast institution with various headquarters all around the 3 occupied continents which focus on these studies.
