Mongolia

**Mongolia**, Formally the **Mongolian Empire**, was a nation located on North Adven and eventually Asia. during its reign, it set in motion a time of prosperity known as the Mongolian Age of Adven. Mongolia carried many political relationships with its neighboring nations, most notably the Persian Empire and the subsequent accord they formed. It possessed a strong rivalry with the nation of Scotlandia which resulted in war on many occasions, but reached a boiling point following the Battle of Glasgow when it issued an invasion to conquer the territory.

Mongolia fled North Adven after a failed attempt to retake the land and established a new society that would destroy the newly formed Ezix Empire.

## History

### Formation and Growth

Mongolia was founded on North Adven in 187 BCE by Hoc'ban the Founder, who travelled from Indarabia and Europa to develop a new nation away from his native homeland. The first kingdom to develop was Monga and was the namesake for the empire, with its capital becoming Ulleena.

In 31 CE, the Mongolian Empire had grown to encompass the western section of North Adven. Several pseudo-sovereign kingdoms grew within the the empire but were ruled by Hoc'ban II, the grandson of the Founder. The Mongolian Royal Family became world renowned for its quick growth and bustling society.

### Diplomacy and the Isolation Plan

The Persian Empire settled in the southern reaches of North Adven in territory Mongolia had planned to colonize. Rather than making demands of assimilation, Hoc'ban II planned to create close allies with the nation of Persia and gain access to the resources with through trade and fair banters. Cyprus the Powerful, the imperator of Persia at the time, agreed to work closely with Hoc'ban II and his successors to ensure a strong relationship remained intact at all times.

In 105 CE, sixty years after Persia's settlement, Mongolia began ventures north in search of islands that they could colonize and block off other nations from entering North Adven waters. Unfortunately, very few islands were found throughout the North Adven Sea and many ships were lost in the journey. However, Persia opened its borders and allowed Mongolian regiments to operate on its southernmost islands, hoping it would prevent Europan nations from attempting colonization. Emperor Jon'dao the Protector created the Isolation Plan to ensure Mongolia and Persia remained the only nations in North Adven. By 330 CE, Mongolia had conquered dozens of colonization ships travelling west from countries like Grand Britain and the Germanic Empire - nations who dominated Europa at the time.

However, one group of settlers evaded their hold and settled up the Hancock River. In its place, the Russian Empire grew and became a sovereign nation in 341 CE. Mongolia had initially established diplomatic relations with Russia to gain intel on its territory and conquer it as a part of the Isolation Plan. After several years of diplomacy, the Mongolian Royal Family passed an accord in 352 CE with the Persian Empire and started operating close as one single entity in preparation for a Russian invasion.

Before the invasion could began, however, the city of Ingabeed was ransacked by Russian king Raphes Rusiv II and his army. During the war that followed, Mongolia was outsmarted by the Russian Army on its trudge through the Great Plains and was forced to sign a peace agreement, stating they must not fight as long as their current leaders - Rusiv and Hajo'a - were in charge. The Mongolian Royal Family took note of this and plotted revenge on Russia when they least expected it.

### Scotlandia Diplomacy and Tensions

in 816 CE, another settlement developed near the Isthmus of the Orsenians (then called the Land Bridge). Scotlandia, who had taken the largely uninhabited North Adven Sea into the region, grew without a focus on Mongolia at all and rather grew to dislike the Russians. Emperor Hajo'a II, used the time as a way begin the groundwork for a future invasion of Russia once again. His plan was rejected by King Dorelik of Scotlandia, but chose to accept it rather than stir up trouble. Although, Dorelik held an increasingly quick-tempered approach to the Russian territory and began to threaten war if it had not assimilated.

Over the next sixty years, Mongolia and Scotlandia existed peacefully but also lacked diplomacy due to Dorelik's isolationist opinion. Once he passed away, His son, Dorelik II, took charge and deescalated the situation occurring in Russia, ruining any possibility for a war. Emperor Jon'dao II, in 906 CE, attempted to build diplomatic relations with Mongolia and succeeded.

After King Dorelik II died unexpectedly, and his son took charge, diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Scotlandia intensified. Dorelik III wished to learn about the Land Bridge and the Eastern parts of North Adven. After a demilitarization of the Russian-Scottish Border, the threat of attack was growing. Jon'dao II's son, Toqt'oa, ordered caravans of travelers to cross the border into Scotlandia and force the territories to assimilate into Mongolia. The Mongolian Army was ordered to enter the city of Edinburg and conquered it, starting the Scottish-Mongolian War. The war was short-lived as soon after the start, Dorelik III died of old age, leaving his son, William Dorelik IV, to take the throne in 1011 CE.

Dorelik IV resumed diplomatic relations with Mongolia and became a puppet of Emperor Toqt'oa, following his every demand. The Scottish-Mongolian Accord was formed and began to set the framework for an invasion of Russia - the revenge Toqt'oa wanted after a defeat those four centuries ago. Scotlandia began emptying its streets of Russian and Russian-Scottish citizens at the command of Mongolia, which created resistence among predominantly Russian-Scottish regions.

Soon after, in 1022 CE, the Scottish Rebellion began after the succession of the Neo-Scottish Legion Against King Dorelik IV. Toqt'oa chose to remain distant on the conflict but kept a close eye on the Dorelik Family, ensuring that ties would not be severed after the war subsided. Only thirteen months later, however, Scotlandia fell to the Neo-Scottish Legion and a new king was crowned.

### Feldman Takeover and Relocation

Vladimir Feldman, a former blacksmith who stumbled upon the crown in the midst of the Battle of Glasgow, reunified the disintegrated territories under the Ezix Empire, which aligned itself closely with Russia to the south. Toqt'oa, who was upset over the dramatic shift in tides, ordered a Persian militia group travel to New Glasgow (later named Ezia), and kidnap Feldman's wife, Juliana Smith.

At the same time, Feldman declared war on Mongolia and created a fortification of Neo-Scottish militiamen and the Russian Army along the old Scottish-Mongolian border. The Feldman Line, as it was called, was the focus of the attack on expanding over the Land Bridge to isolate Russia and Ezix from Mongolian rule. Toqt'oa ordered the Persian Army advance into Russia to devalue their support and potentially pull out of the Feldman Line.

Juliana Smith was kidnapped by the militiamen and transported to Ulleena and was placed in a suite of the High Castle of Mongolia. Toqt'oa announced her presence to Feldman and demanded that he surrender to save her life. Although he had no plan to uphold the ransom, he knew it would force Feldman to choose between his nation and his wife. However, it is exposed that Feldman was already aware of the kidnapping and sent a platoon to the High Castle of Mongolia to save her. However, the platoon is killed and Juliana was executed and hung outside of the castle.

Once the news of the execution reached Feldman, Toqt'oa amassed the entire Mongolian Army along the Feldman Line and advanced deep into Ezix territory. However, once they army reached a threshold, several hundreds of explosions roared across the continent and left the armies of all three nations in critical condition. Mongolia's army decentralized itself after the Battle of the Feldman Line and left the scene.

In the aftermath of the attack, Feldman demanded that the Mongolian-Persian Accord leave North Adven and not return. Due to the lack of an army, Toqt'oa had no choice but to comply with his word. Several hundred ships from many of the Mongolian cites and travelled west in search of farther pastures. Most citizens could not find a way off the continent and lived in ungoverned hamlets and cities.
