## General information

The Kingdom of Anyvia is a free sovereign nation, under the rule of the elected King Geihro.

The Kingdom of Anyvia consist mainly of the capital city Anyvia, but the city tries to expand in the former territory of Pirate State of Driftwood with the city of Forteresse Rocheuse and Volcano Mountain.

Frost Grave’s, Dwarvia, Le Refuge de Calcifer and Les Ailes d'Icarus are considered as protectorates. They do not participate in the main life and decisions, but their independence are guaranteed by Anyvia.

## Government

The Kingdom is based on a participatory democracy, where the population elects a King when times need it (either when the ancient one dies, or if the past king didn’t do it’s job properly).

The motto of the country is “Bound by nothing but right and freedom.”

Anyvia is considered by many to be a city of relative freedom, but controlled to the point it is not considered an anarchy.

## History

### Creation

Most of the inhabitants of the city are former pirates of the Pirate State of Driftwood, who pillaged and destroyed many settlements along the south-eastern coast of the middle sea.

However, due to the relative instability of Pirate’s Confederations, turmoil started to affect Driftwood. Many pirates and non-pirates were dissatisfied by the tyrannical actions of the former pirate queen, Elizabeth Totsdam. Even after many political meetings, the queen Elizabeth Totsdam never listened to the population ; and often kept the population ignorant in order to better control it. When everything got leaked by Geihro in the “Water’s Gate” incident, tensions were rising, and many people thought this would lead to a civil war.

Yet, after many political upraising and small skirmishes, the city Anyvia succeeded in seceding from Driftwood without a civil war, therefore gaining independence over the Pirate Confederation. Geihro, the main advisor of the former queen, is considered to be the main element that sparked the revolution and is elected as the new King. Soon after, the Driftwood Piracy collapsed after bankruptcy and famine made all people leave the city of Port Elisabeth, one of the last bastions of the past empire. Only the city of Oak Harbor remains in total anarchy, as no one has yet unified the multiple pirate crews of the coastal city.

A small crew of former pirates decided together to put an end to their pirate behaviors, and settle down in the small village of Anyvia. Even after the secession, the country stabilized. Anyvia started to expand both under the sea to the north, and up the land to the south. With a growing economy, the city fixed the food shortage caused by Elizabeth Totsdam and started to build many houses for its inhabitants. In a matter of a few months, many immigrants from Driftwoord came to Anyvia in search of a better future.

Entering abruptly into the political scene, Anyvia is starting to conduct political affairs with the countries of Veaum(Nation) and The Draken Empire.

### A relative peace, and expansion

For quite some time, the city Anyvia prospered without any threats. In this golden age, several territories accepted Anyvia's protection.

One of the first settlements to asks for Anyvia's protection was Dwarvia. Borin "The Tough" is leading the main expedition and surpervise the reconstruction of the fallen dwarven city. For now, most of the city is still in ruin and/or hidden in rubble.

After the death of Professor Frost, a small settlement was created close to its place of death. Frost Grave's is an hamlet used by many pilgrims who wished to pay their respect to the former general who lead the war against Halaesa.

In order to protect the city of Anyvia, Giggsy decided to reconstruct the fort of Oak Harbor, renaming it "Forteresse Rocheuse" (Meaning Rock Fortress in french). The project is huge, and the relative lack of manpower has grealtly hindered the project. Though it is not dead, the project is considered on hold until further notice.

"Le Refuge de Calcifer" (Calcifer's Refuge in english) is a small floating Island where foreigners from far away lands decided to create a temple. Close by, people can admire the monument dedicated to Guardians of an underwater monument.

Finally, "Les Ailes d'Icarus" (Icaru's wings) is a territory bought by some engineers and artificers, who wishes to created a steampunk facility.

### A looming threat

October 15th, 2023. Anyvia was in peril. A newly formed order, the Knights of Halaesa, conducted several acts of terrorism and murder in order to resurrect Halaesa. Diabete\_Salesman was considered to be the main culprit of this attack.

After Diabete breaks on seal of the seal of Halaesa, she gave him powers and a small portion of her skeleton army. One of the former evil generals, Vorceful, was also resurected.

The army was directly summoned in the city of Anyvia, the arena being the epicenter of the combat ; it was a cruel massacre. Many civilians died in the brutal and quick attack.

The main goal of the attack was the original seal, apparently owned by HarpWhite. A violent duel opposed Vorceful and HarpWhite, but none could finish the other one.

Quickly, an International aid was dispatched, and soon the main skeleton army was pushed back. However, the two evil generals (Vorceful and Diabete) escaped easily with their newly acquired powers. They are actively trying to murder HarpWhite in order to get the Original Seal back.

What will the evil Knights of Halaesa do now? Everyone wonders. No one knows what they are planning...
