Jaredoa

## Summary of Jaredoa

Jaredoa is the western-most member-state of the continuous Thugborean Confederation, is located in the southwest corner of Mainland Thugborea. Jaredoa is made up of a mix of Jaredites, Flavumin and Mejites totaling to about 53 million people in a territory about 570,000km².

## Etymology

The name Jàredoa cames from the Pharellian words "Jared" which was an ethnonym for the Jaredites given by the Pharellians and "Oasi" which was a Pharellian loan-word from Portavian which meant Oasis. At the time this name was first used Jaredoa was still a small town called "Montar Rodando" named after the Mountain it sat next to which was named after a Jaredite who founded the Town with his family fleeing the Flavumin-Jaredite war in modern day North Jaredoa. This town was surrounded by Pharellian speaking counties and called this Jaredoasi describing it as a Jaredite Oasis surrouned in all sides by a desert in which every grain was Pharellian.

This place being called "Jaredoa" was only a recent thing and was first recorded during the Renaissance when a Portavian man called Flavio Methdorradino visited this Kingdom and called it "Jaredoas" which he may have picked up when visting Pharellian villages on way there his books about the visit were Popular at the time in Jaredoa itself which found itself a name other than "The Kingdom at the end of world" or "The Kingdom at the end of Europe".

In 1823 Senator Luis Desnuttes, a Flavumin-Jaredoan Nationalist, argued that Jaredoa was not named after the Jaredites but rather the Old Flavumin Duke proclaiming his domain as "Un Jare" or First Year in English. Un Jare came Old Portavian which was the Lingua Franca during the Late Age of Antiquity right after Portayyum, who spoke it, fell. Supporters of the Desnuttes Origin claim that the King said "Un Jare Doamania" calling his lands the First Year Domain but there is no proven evidence that the Duke said this except for tale written two centuries later by a Portavian Monk named Aldo Desmondes who visited Jaredoa asking locals where the name came from.

However Desmondes has been proven to be a liar countless time even about his first name, there is still no proof that he had lied about the "Un Jare" quote but support the Desnuttes claim has been waning regardless. The Desnuttes Origin has been cited as the true origin countless times by Pro-Flavumin Conservative News Journalists and Television. The Pharellian Origin and Desnuttes Origin have become a debate between Flavumin and Jaredoan People for more than a century now and no one can prove that their own claim is even true.

## History

### Era of Antiquity

#### Portayyum Empire

Under the Portayyum Empire did writing down history actually begin in Jaredoa, The Portayyum Empire brought Flavumin values and ideals to the natives assimilating them to become Flavumin. 'The Lands were named Laboute du Mundi meaning edge of the world'. Portayyum took resources like Copper, Tungsten, and Iron from 'Laboutia' as this province was called, and in exchange the natives were given and education and a purpose to serve the Empire.

This point of Jaredoan History was famous for the many rebellions against Portayyum sprouting ideas that they were not the same as those from the Capital. Notable Heroes like Gisalrico who gathered a militia and freed his brothers from their captors and Audo who fought to lower taxes on his lands. But these Men never stood a chance, every rebellion, uprising, insurrection, and mutiny failed.

After the Portayyum Empire Collapsed, life for the commoners hardly changed they still spoke Old Portavian and worked as if nothing changed. The former Governors act as Maires and Kings, in most cases they didn't just treat other former Governors as equals but as also rivals. What were once cities operating together as one province for Portayyum turned into City-States forming alliances and coalitions to counter their Competitors.

#### Rise of the Flavumin Kingdoms

##### Lebout du Monde

At the edge of the world there were hundreds of City-States scattered between the coasts and interior of what is Today Jaredoa. Each of these City-States having relations with one another, These City-States fought each other for almost 300 years fighting for domination over the Western Mediterranean Sea. Powerful City-States like Barça, Castellón, Muchburgos, Montar Felix rose up creating coalitions and rivalries which lasted decades. The City-States were different from each other being influenced by their neighbours to the North, West, East, and South. The Northerners actually spoke a dialect more similar to Pharellian then Modern Jaredoan which is a Western Jaredite Dialect with heavy Southern and Jaredite influences.

But at the year 375CE some point between they were City-States and Kingdoms an empire appeared on the shores of Montar Felix beaches, The Portavin had come to reclaim the land which was once Portayyum Empire who they claim to be the Successors of. The Portavins welcomed by Felixians who in turn became the Capital of this new Leboutian Province. But up north, in cities like Barça they were seen as uninvited visitors who claim to be a friend but were only there for conquest. The Portavins had begun a crisis in the Peninsula, Coalitions and Alliances debating to whether join the Empire or stand on their own. Those who feared the Portavins banded together and formed what we now know as the Jaredoan Kingdoms. We can not say that Jaredoa was only formed now because of the Portavin but we can say that they have accelerated this process.

##### The Octarchy

The Kingdoms Era lasted for more than 200 years but no Period in this Era were more influential than the Octarchic Period a time in which Jaredoa was split into eight main Monarchies. Kingdom of Barça, Kingdom of Madred, Duchy of Montar Felix, Kingdom of Castellón, Duchy of Muchburgos, Duchy of Valedelrio, Kingdom of Mejita, Duchy of Buenaciudad. These Kingdoms were bound together by the Council of Malaga which ensured that whenever one of the 8 fall, the other 7 will bring it back, The Council of Malaga did not prevent these eight from fighting one another which would ultimately be its downfall in 1024.

But none of the eight were more dominant in this period than The Kingdoms of Barça, Madred, and Castellón. These three had a rivalry which started long before the Octarchic period and even before the Council, It had started when Barça which had a Pharellian King at the time made Pharellian their official language and had adopted Pharellian culture. This sudden change in Barça had started the Amarillo War in 231CE, This war ended with a southern victory securing the North as separate for Pharellia for centuries to come. Castellón is also the only port city of the three and is also the most wealthy, The council was originally supposed to take home in Castellón but at the time Castellón was in a war against Madred so the council had been moved to Malaga.

### Medieval Era

#### Invasion of The Jaredites

In 1014 a decade before the collapse of the Council of Malaga, tensions had been rising between Madred and Castellón against Barça. At the same time, far in the east in Jaridiya City a horde had been gathering westwards to claim the promised land of "Jarborea". The Jaredites besieged the port city of Reina Sureña which was a Castellón colony in Northern Africa. Castellón demanded that the Council send a force down to assist Castellón's colonies, but Barça had vetoed all of Castellón's request knowing that the attacks would greatly damage Castellón's economy and ending Castellón's dominance over the Western Mediterranean Sea.

Madred had sent 14k levies to assist Castellón but by the time they had arrived it was all gone. The *Castellón Economia* had crashed and all eight members of council suffered monetary shortages. The Jaredites had conquered their promised land and The Leboutians were vulnerable to attack. Barça had become the most powerful of the eight because of their limited reliance on the council for fears of sanctions from Madred and Castellón.

In 1022 The Jaredites have landed on the shores of the Duchy of Reina, The Duke of Reina had fled to Madred as his home and cities burned. Records suggesting brutal massacres of those who were young and the raping of widows, The Jaredites destroyed every Kingdom they passed on their way to Madred. In 1024 Malaga had fallen and almost every Councilor fell with it. The Caliph in Azerbaijan had declared it a successful *Mabrukh*.

#### Rise of Jaredite Sheikhdoms

##### The Jaredites

The Jaredites had set up Mabrukh-states throughout what was former Leboutia, Sheikhdoms and Emirates were established like the Shiekhdom of Libut, Emirate of Felixia, Shiekhdom of Muchoburgos, Emirate of Falderio and Sheikhdom of Mahdreid. The Jaredites created a Semi-Feudal system to similar to the Leboutians but with the Shiekh and Emir having more authority over their subjects. However the Jaredites are not united against the Flavumin Leboutians some are have alliances with the Flavumin, The Emirate of Falderio even joined the newly created Council of Barça.

##### The Remaining Flavumin Kingdoms

Hundred migrate northwards towards Pharellia, leaving theirs home in Leboutia for the Jaredites to take and take they did. But Barça remains as the shining city on the hill, fighting off the Jaredites. This period of history is a dark age for the Leboutians, Half has fallen, a quarter had fleed, and the last quarter remain. Castellón remains but it is a shell of its former-self. The Mejites become a Hermit Kingdom isolated from the rest of Leboutia.

#### Unification Under The Kingdom of Jaredoa

##### The Jaredoans

The origin of the name Jaredoa is still debated today nevertheless a Kingdom in North had adopted this named, as a result of "Jaredoan" becoming a name for Jaredites who had assimilated and adopted into Flavumin Culture. The former Kingdom of Busstanutte near the border of Pharellia had renamed itself to Jaredoa after a Jaredite had become King. This Jaredite was Jarad Bahr who adopted the name Jacinto Bahoor, The Bahoors would unite the lands of Leboutia by virtue of achieving Thugs and Glory.

##### Process of Unification

The Kingdom of Busstanutte had already been a major power before becoming a Jaredite Kingdom, competing even those of the entirety of the Council of Barça and the Sheikhdom of Libut. Bustanutte was the only Flavuming Kingdom which was tolerant of Jaredite tradition, hundreds have migrated to this very Kingdom during the war between Barça and Libut creating an exchange of cultures within this area. Busstanutte was no longer Jaredite nor Flavumin, they had become a mix of both cultures. This was only solidified when Jaredite became King, Jarad had fully established an idea that Bustanutte was not Purely Flavumin in Idea and Reality. Bustanutte was only the first of the Great Jaredoan Renewal, The Great Jaredoan Renewal was a clash between two cultures. Sheikhdoms like Libut and Falderio would eventually fall to the Jaredoan Kingdom.

### Industrial Era

#### Jaredoan Civil War

##### Cause

The Civil War had been caused by a series of conflicts between multiple peoples. A Pamphlet written by Jacinto Desnuttes called *"Somos nosotras contra ellas"* which means *"It is us against them"* in English, This Pamphlet can not be the one to be blamed of this war but it shows us that an idea of an *Us against them* was very mainstream at the time considering quotes from this pamphlet had been taught in Flavumin Schools in the north and Flavé Aligned Politicians.
