Crystallium of Azula

   The **Crystallium of Azula** is a nation currently located found in the north-east of Eldham, on the Valreshi continent.

## Origins

Before becoming an established nation in Eldham, the first people of the later known Crystallium originated from the continent of Cymru in Rathnir, from the city of Deltonia in southern Cymru. A group of people lead by Delta van Nachtig set out on a journey to the far off lands of Eldham after Rathniri geopolitics became too annoying to deal with and all wanted a fresh start. The so called "Crystal Travellers", consisting of Delta van Nachtig, Hjyetta Astaseul, Kuba Bakura, Yide Bakura, Konan Tippensburg and Ryou Bakura were the original founders of the nation that was later secceded by the Crystallium.

### Predecessors

Before the Crystallium, the Crystal Travellers founded the nation of Pacistan on two islands and a bit of mainland off the valreshi coast. Their capital was named Deltonia, just like the city they started their travels from. Pacistan were illegal settlers in the regions biggest nation, the Workers' Syndicate of Northern Valresh. However, their diplomatic skills and the fact that they outnumbered the giant nation despite only being a few people made them able to pressure the Syndicate. Soon, the first province Aerius split off from Northern Valresh. Pacistan then reformed into the Imperium of Azula and Ulima, Azula being the Eldham part and Ulima the original Rathniri part Deltonia and silently and peacefully took over the majority of Northern Valresh. They were able to annex a small part of Akarechia, vassalize the Capital of Garxeto and take over the provinces of Pancioni and Garxijos.

## Beginning of the Crystal

Reign When the north east finally collapsed, Hjyetta Astaseul took over as the leader of the IAU because Delta had to go back to Rathnir to help his other nation in a war. In the deepest caves of Azuleya, Azulas capital, the miners found an immense amount of Crystals and a mysterius water that could make the one that drank it resistant to fire. This culture of Crystals soon spread to Hjyetta, who reformed the nation into the Crystallien Empire of Azula. The nation was destined to be a power player in Eldham politics, but the first conflict already brewed with the neighboring nation of Korosechev because of a border dispute over the province of Cognia.

### Early Conflicts

In the early days of Azula, the nation got into two minor conflicts. The first was the C.o.C.K conflict with the afformentioned border dispute over the region of Cognia. Hjyetta, still being too new and inexperienced in geopolitics was too cocky and agressive in negotiations over the disputed territory and it came to a breaking

point when Korosechev, main part of the Confederation of Cognia-Korosechev (C.o.C.K) threatened war. After this threat, the second conflict started in which the province Curu of Azula rebelled against the nation. However,, since Curu hadn't laid any official claims to the land yet, Hjyetta quickly sold the land to prevent a rebellion in the land. The members of Curu also inspired a group of people to take the Azulan capital Helanthia, which they now called Nunkjavut. It seemed all downhill from here, but the Empryess' next step would be the biggest the nation had yet taken.

### Plagos' aid

To diffuse the situation that was the impending war with Korosechev, Crystallien Empryess Hjyetta Astaseul went to her home and friends in Lunaris and made the decision to give up sovereignity in favor of stability. Azula stands as a Plagosi Colony for the future, and with its new found strength Azulan troops laid siege to their own capital Helanthia. However Helanthia was incredibly supplied and had enough stock to last for multiple years, and an invasion or artillery fire was out of question to not hurt Azulas own city.

### Change in everything

One day a ship arrived in Azuleya, the place where the capital had shifted to. It was a lost royal from a far of nation called Soolia on board. Coincidentally, it was the High King of Soolia, Charles Godd-Fjell, leader of the nation that the Midjorisk belonged to and originated from. Hjyetta, taking the initiative, welcomed him with open arms and he was in fact the one that would in the end force the Midjorisk to end the occupation of Helanthia.
