Ork Kingdom of Diarest

The **Ork Kingdom of Diarest** is a medium sized Monarchy nation on the continent of Skualona. Its capital city is Quranan which includes many historic buildings like the Glath Pit and Cuaran Arena.

## Brief History

The cities of Quranan, Zarlasgate, Odiva, and Weasol came together in ancient times under a high family of Orks to form Diarest as the one true Ork Kingdom. 90% of the population of Diarest at the time were Orks which helped to flesh out the official name of the Kingdom. The Kingdom's monarchy has always followed the same central royal family, the Iyuku’s who earned their place from high honor in battle.

## Religion and Culture

The Ork race as a whole is very battle-oriented and most rights of passage in Diarest evolve around the battle styles of Ork culture. When an Ork youngling turns 11 they will be entered in the Variaoinair which is a battle tournament to have passage into adulthood. Those who fail are punished by having an eye cut out and being forced to eat it. Ork children train tirelessly to win the tournament for the honor of their family.

## Diaresti Architecture

Most buildings in Diarest are built of Spruce wood and deepslate stones. Orks don't like bright colors very much as it hurts their sensitive eyes so most structures are built dark and sullen. Diarest’s capital city, Quranan, is almost entirely Deepslate and Spruce with dark terracotta harvested from other countries being used to give small amounts of color to each building.

## Symbolism

Most Orks will use blood as a symbol of love. Smearing blood across another is a romantic advance and gesture similar to a kiss in human symbolism. Its high prestiges to receive jars of blood or organs of another Ork as it is usually a sign of trust and loyalty between friends and family. Orks focus much on honor and battle but love still finds its way through in certain aspects of Diaresti culture.

## Complete History

### Origins

Diarest was formed from a revolting area and a population of Orks from the other main power on the continent, Sarotath. The Orks revolted against the nations who wanted their land and formed one of the strongest military powers next to Demonia. The royal family commanded legions of Diaresti Orks and fought to the death against the invaders. The Diaresti would win the war and gain their independence and respect from the people of Skyulldovir and Tupoki across the waters.

### Aurhai Period

The Aurhai period was first declared shortly after the independence of Diarest and would last a great deal of time. 3 kings and 2 queens would rule during this period and it would be a time in which Diarest would see a major influx of immigrant population coming from places like Lunara, Polara, and Aladar. This is the initial push that would send the Ork population of Diarest down to only 75% of all Diaresti citizens which would mark the end of this period.

### Iaeao Period

The Iaeao period was declared just after the end of the previous period and would focus majorly on internal affairs and internal struggles. The Orks would grow even further into a happy yet battle and honor-oriented kingdom at this time and see major growth on an internal level.

### Iapam Period

The Iapam period is the current period of Diarest and is seeing major efforts in relations with other countries and new alliances being formed on a daily basis. The citizens of Diarest are more pristine and happy than ever and the royal family is still continuing their long rain to this day.
