## History

### Cluckonic Order

The Ducks first joined around Thanksgiving of 2020. They established the holy order on the south end of Vastallos where they found vast gold deposits under the plains. Within a week they had made good relations with the neighboring nation of Griffinview who was in the VAWR, which was the first and only other nation to convert to the Ducks' faith.

Later, an envoy of Carvay would come representing the VAWR with an **ultimatum**: to join or die. So, despite the unpopularity of the decision in the Cluckonic Council they did. Joining the VAWR ended up reaping great benefits. They were given the Holy City of **Stensta** (Which of course, was ordained by The Might Cluck).

From that point on they became pretty inactive on the global stage, they stayed pretty isolated except for sporadic attempts to convert foreigners. The culture of the Ducks went **disappearing** over time, giving birth to new ones (which were also heavily **influenced** by Carvay and Asturcia) that would eventually form the modern Dracadian culture.

### Carvaian/Ombrian statehood

As the region around **Spirehold** (Dragospiro’s ancient name) became part of **Carvay**, nothing relevant happened except for some renovation of the buildings that once belonged to the Cluckonic Order.

It was when **Andre Ramo** became Savii of the state of Dragospiro that things started to change, especially by massively focusing on improving the High City (which was actually the only city at the time), making it very similar to how it is today. With **Landy** becoming Signoria of the newborn state of Dracade (which comes from **Drago Cade**, Falling Dragon), the Italian-Only Policy that had characterized the state since Andre's arrival was abolished, great efforts were put into expanding Dragospiro towards the east, in the valley where there was much unused space. This is when the **Low City** was planned and the Maiden Bay Harbor was built.

A period of inactivity followed, with Dracade being kept alive by Savii **Salamundi**, while it merged with **Fruila** (the carvaian name of Trollgard) for a while because of the lack of citizens.

### Independence, South Vastallos and Post-SV

With the Shattering of Carvay there was an initial moment of disorder and confusion in Dracade as the independence was something they hadn't experienced in a long time. That is when Savii Salamundi and Landy Ethymios took some time and invented the **Dragonate**, the distinctive electocratic form of government of Dracade. The first elections saw Ethymios become Dragone with an initial number of 3 total Delegati, Hugzo and Marfius, later expanded to 5.

This first period of independence saw an incredible growth and **prosperity** in Dracade, making it among the most powerful Vastallosi states. This period was characterised by the government's effort on demographic growth and on the expansion of Dragospiro while the nation's small economy ran thanks to exports of flowers to the market of Port Marga, in Astana. This wealth was increased even more by the vassallization of Carvay through the **Treaty of Succession** that saw Andre nominated Doge of Carvay. The Shattering of Carvay also saw the rise of the Vastallosi Alliance (not to be confused with the VAWR), a pact between all the successor states, whose independence was even guaranteed by several powers of Rathnir. Subsequently the Federation of **South Vastallos** was formed with its states being Dracade, Asturcia and Carvay; the Dragone became Consul of the Federation while the four Delegati became Proconsules of Dracade. In this period a dragon egg was found in the square close to the harbor of Dragospiro: the egg was taken care of and protected, as the people were both curious and fascinated by this event.

### Dracadian Golden Age

(WIP) *hi historian who wants to expand on dracadian history, by "golden age" I mean the period between the independence from astyllea to the abdication of razielmartelus, so if you want feel free to change the title of the paragraph (it's hard for me to admit that this was the golden age)*

### Dracadian Dark Age

(WIP) *you know the drill, this goes from the abdication of raz to the formation of the new government. still up to you*

### Formation of the United Kingdom of Dracade-Trollgard

The first union between **Dracade** and Trollgard was created on the 26th of june 2022 between **King Myrknir  “Masgarfostre” Skrælung af Kronborg** and **Dragone Raziel Martellus**. This era saw the rise of a nationalist movement in Trollgard for increased reprecentation in government and equal treatment. Initially as a just a dream, the plan began to be taken seriously, as the Dragonate and Kingdom of Trollgard began to work together towards true unification. Finally, on the 2nd of November, the Dragonate of Dracade ended as Big Boss announced the reorgaincation of The Dragonate of Dracade into the United Kingdom of Dracade-Trollgard.
