## Historical Records of the Cornflower Guard

### In the beginning...

there was a nation called the Archonal Federation of Sironia-Carn. It was a troubled nation and the culture was lacking. One thing people recalled is that the Cornflower had a huge existence, but one person was to bring it back. Niki Astaseul-Bakura, grandmother of the current nation leader Alessandra found ruins of an old, heavily fortified town and decided, that this was going to be the place. The birthplace of the Cornflower Guard, and the ruins that were once forgotten being repaired and rebuilt into the Cornflower Citadel. Niki, being the founder of the organization and citadel brought three other people into the ranks of the guard: Alyssa Luon, Nikis most trusted friend, her father Delta and her brother Astral, who ruled a prosperous town in the region. The founding members were the high three, formally known as the "Nei Carcera", and the leader of them all the "Cornflower Queen".

#### The Guard

The Cornflower Guard is not a feared group of higly trained warriors or dangerous assasins, they are friends. All people that swore to protect each other under the rule of the Cornflower Queen. All of the Nei Carcera had other things to do in different nations, and even the first Cornflower Queen Niki was busy, aiding her friends in Tortuga against the Lorent.

### Era of the First Queen

The era of the first Cornflower Queen marked the beginning of the Cornflower rennaissance. The first people were recruited and a clear rank structure was set up. There was only one rule the members of the guard had to follow: "The will of the Cornflower Queen is absolute at all times". Niki, first Cornflower Queen started organizing and setting plans in motion. She started to get money through trade of sea treasures and aquiring armors and weapons. It was all for a plan she called the "Cornflower Rebirth". After some time, Niki noticed a decline in the nation of Sironia-Carn, and all reflected onto the disablity of Alessandra, her own grandchild. Alessandra, commonly known as Allie was a new nation leader that came to power out of nowhere, and was getting her nation into nowhere. At this point, Niki had been appointed Regent Archon in the federation and now held all the power she needed to fulfill her plan. A coup against the Archons. Niki gathered her Guard and explained her plans, that she had already gained full support of the town of Arkplain. It would be a full on civil war, but all plans came to a halt when head of the Bakura Dynasty, Ryou Bakura came to the crumbling nation to save it and secure power in secret. The nation being shadow-ruled by a competent person wasn't too bad in Nikis eyes, so she set plans for the Cornflower Rebirth aside. The era of the first cornflower queen came to aan end soon after, when Alyssa found Niki bleeding our in the Citadel, her body beeing whisked away never to be seen again.

### Era of the Second Queen

The era of the second Cornflower Queen started the moment Niki faded away. Alyssa, long time and most trusted friend, maybe even lover took the Cornflower throne. She invited all the members of the guard to her coronation. She expected them to blame her for usurping the throne and demand her to step down, but all she got was everyone bowing down to her. Delta spoke the chilling words the only rule echoed: "The will of the Cornflower Queen is absolute at all times". Everyone accepted the fact that most trusted member of the first queen would become second queen, and so as Alyssa realised that a simply grave or memorial for her friend wasn't enough, she decided to plan on making the entire Cornflower Citadel a memorial for the first queen, to make it her legacy, everlasting. As another part of Nikis legacy, the role of Cornflower Queen became an official role in the high government of the newly formed Imperial Federation of Aldovir, where it still exists to this day.
