This article is about the First Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire. For other uses of the term "Ryzan", see Ryzan (disambiguation). For the history of the Ryzani governments, see History of Ryzan.
The **First** **Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire** was a dual monarchy between the Aurlûnor Velande and the Second Tsardom of Ryzan, which in turn, makes this the 6th government form of Ryzan. The first Union formed in the winter of 848 ACA, when talks between Tsar CanadianToss of Ryzan and Velereth Sareariel Lelya-Earcala of the Aurlûnor Velande finally succeeded after several days of tough negotiations. At the time, the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire was the largest nation on Syltör in terms of land area.

Four days after the foundation of the union, arguments soon broke out between the two monarchs over the precise borders and amount of power each country was to have in the Union. The Velereth favored a Union in which both sides had equal power and a single army, while the Tsar preferred two separate armies, where the Velereth would condemn and openly scolded the Tsar that he was treating the union as if Ryzan was the leading nation, despite agreeing to an egalitarian union.

The Union would be rendered defunct only a year later in 849 ACA after these massive disagreements. However, its legacy lived on, and over a century later under new leadership the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire rose again in 961 ACA.

## Dissolution of the Union

On the evening of March 16th, another row broke out between the two royals. The argument again involved the position of the two countries within the Union and the separation of the armies, in addition to new disagreements over how to divide up the new land gained from the Purchase of Andorn. Eventually, after several comments by the Tsar offended her, the Velereth proclaimed:

> You know what Toss? I am sick of your egotistical ways, and I am sick and tired of you treating me like shit! If you won't treat me equally as you, then I suppose this Union is not worth it. I hereby divorce you, and will officially announce that this Union is terminated. That's it. Goodbye, Toss.
>
> Sareariel Lelya-Earcala

In the following hours, Sareariel Lelya-Earcala would formally declare the divorce against Toss. Realz, the state leader of Andorn as well as Thunderfantv of Areska declared formal independence from Ryzan. About a few minutes after these announcements, the Union was declared dissolved, with Ryzan given independence. Following this, the Ryzani Occupation would occur.

## Fallout from the Dissolution

### The Blame Game

Both sides would openly condemn each other for formation of the union. The\_Burger3 was famous for mostly criticizing the Aurlûnor Velande for multiple events that happened prior to the union, such as the Great Fire of Ryzan, and for attacks on multiple Ryzani citizens following the days after. Accounts of the union was mostly shifted blame toward the Velereth Sareariel, due to her accused "non-cooperative attitude" toward the Tsar, often yelling at him, and even berating him. The Union was largely called a "Power Play Move" by the Aurlûnor Velande to help cement their influence over Ryzanis, and to eventually gain complete control, with Sareariel often called a power-hungry landgrabber. There was also a massive accusation of the Aurlûnor Velande colluding with Bardonia to have them invade Ryzan, and have them invade from the start. This is due to the fact that Ryzan took from the Partition of Takumakken was taken over by Aurlûnoren administration following Bardonia's occupation.

In the case of Velande's defense, they believe that it was the fault of Ryzan's constant instability, and shifting opinions. Sareariel often berated Athos, the military commander, for completely compromising the union, and trying to take complete control over the Velande's military. In addition, Sareariel accused CanadianToss multiple times of power-grabbing, and proclaiming the Union his "Crowning achievement" and "integration" into Ryzan's government and culture. In addition, Sareariel completely denied all allegations of the Velande being involved in the Great Fires, proving that it was Oogway that was the one who triggered it, and the one who set fire to the city, citing it was him, and him alone, and that Sareariel only congratulated him due to their previous dislike of Ryzan when they first joined the server. In addition, they would state that Bardonia invaded Ryzan on their own volition, and that the Velande gave independence to Ryzan following dissolution, and restored the Second Tsardom. They also cited that the takeover of the territories west of Ryzan, was apart of Enfys' vows that they took at the Church in Tossagrad.

Their fights would continue for about a few weeks after the union, with many often calling the union "Divorcia" due to how the two often "fought like an actual divorced couple". The Ryzani-Carthyan Republic's first president, MysticWarrior, would claim that it was the responsibility of "The Queen" that the empire was dissolved. President Josbar Liberium reinforced this claim, and would state that he would "reclaim back the lost lands". Before the Ryzani Elections however, Athos and Ibris Alyanis Tossova would speak to Sareariel about all of this, and would peacefully resolve the crisis, by having Balreska, Oogsberg and Nadzieja (the Deutzan region) return back to the hands of Ryzan, and would drop the claims of their piece of the Takumakken Partition, issuing a formal apology for all accusations, and would drop the entire crisis completely, normalizing relations, and putting the Empire crisis to rest. Mysticwarrior himself would apologize in in the mid-880s ACA for his speech against the Velereth as well, and joined the Velande himself.

### Deutzani Border Dispute

In the 890s ACA, the Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Border Dispute popped up again. Although the eastern provinces were indeed given back, they were not officially recognized by any members of the Imperial Court. The outbreak of the War in Ryzan bought this last issue of the Union back to light. Eventually, by the time Ryzan was about to be defeated, both the rebelling Empire of Ryzan, and the Fourth Tsardom of Ryzan agreed to hand over to region. With Anstolis Lykris being confirmed as the new Governor of the newly established Malyan Province, the last remnant of the Union Crisis was resolved- or so was thought at the time.

The province of Malyan was eventually returned to the Bardonian-owned Fifth Tsardom of Ryzan under extreme diplomatic pressure in 919 ACA. Fearing Bardonian invasion, the region was given back, save for Duck Island. The area remained a flashpoint during a breakdown of diplomatic relations later in 922, as Ryzan implemented harsh sanctions on Aurlûnor.

The Red Sun Campaign in 952 headed by Josbar Liberium was spurred on by the legacy of the dispute.

### CanadianToss' Response

In the now First United Crowns of Syltör's discord, CanadianToss would re-appear for the first time in almost a year as an active user. It was then revealed by CanadianToss that the break up, as well as the arguments and animosity was infact, a plot by the Second Republic of Bardonia to seperate the two. It was even revealed by CanadianToss that he had plans on giving leadership of Ryzan to Coffeeccubus both out of character and in character. CanadianToss and Coffeeccubus would makeup, and both would come to the same realization that the true cause of the dissolution of the nation was caused by Bardonia. CanadianToss had stated that there was reports of manipulations, lies and false information that was fed to Coffeeccubus back then that prompted the eventual dissolution.

There was also a revelation by Coffeeccubus themselves, that the Bardonians intentionally manipulated Coffeeccubus to make the decision by sharing screenshots of CanadianToss talking behind her back, as well as CanadianToss plotting to annex Aurlûnor, which at the time, didn't had as many players as Ryzan did. Subsequently, it was reported that it was basically "a gun pointed at her head", to either remain on course with the union, or abandon Ryzan. Due to the lies that were being fed that seemed extremely believable, Coffeeccubus said that they had no choice in the matter, and abandoned Ryzan.
