Empire of the White Raven

The **Empire of White Raven** was a nation located in the sea between Syltör and Ummarnu. It was created to be a safeplace for traders from Huitca and enemies of states in foreign nations. Its capital was Awm, a floating island city directly off the coast from Ummarnu, but it was pillaged and razed, and later rebuilt under the name of New Awm. It was ruled by Keisari Jarno Shyvo Auditore. The state religion is Hvítt Hrafn, though White Raven believes in religious freedom. The nation is an ex-member of KATO.

In the present day, all of the territory of the now-defunct White Raven has been incorporated into the Huitca Federation.

## Cities

* New Awm: A sprawling island-city which floats above the sea between the continents of Ummarnu and Syltör and serves as the capital city of the Republic of New Awm. It floats above a small port island, and the entire city is built in a nordic style of architecture, with it only varying by the skill of those who build there. As of late, building space has been a large problem for the city, so a second floating island is being constructed to serve as an extension to the city as a whole.

* Elkanthras: A fortified city that the Empire of the White Raven used as a bulwark against the Huitca federation in their ongoing wars. It was eventually lost to and annexed by Huitca, but due to Huitca's dual citizenship, members of White Raven continue to live and operate there.
* Elunebris: A city that is planned to be constructed on an island north of New Awm. It is unknown what style the city itself will be constructed in, but the planner and future Governor of the city, Schucklekii, plans for it to be loosely based off of Venice. Most of the foundations will probably also be based off of those of the port below New Awm.

## Origins

The nation was created to be a safe place for traders and enemies of state of Huitca, as White Raven raided several of Huitca's cities, as well as caused the assassination of one of its Chiuacoatl (Prime Ministers). Members became branded as enemies of the state of Huitca, which lead to White Raven attracting people from foreign nations who were also enemies of Huitca. White Raven had two cities in its founding, Awm, as well as Elkanthras, which they operated out of.

The clashing between White Raven and Huitca reached a boiling point, so White Raven made a deal with the nation called Viridian, who would support and guarantee White Raven as an independent nation. Though only 24 hours later Viridian would collapse, leaving Huitca to claim all lands in the Empire. White Raven contested the claims Huitca made, which lead to Huitca officially declaring the first War between the two nations.

## White Raven - Huitca Agression

After several White Raven attacks on Huitca soil, SumoMC, the prime minister of Huitca sent a letter to the leadership of White Raven, an ultimatum, declaring that they could join Huitca or White Raven would be destroyed. Which the leadership fully opposed. SumoMC then threatened to send armed forces into New Awm. The then prince, Jarno Shyvo Auditore, traveled to Huitca lands and advised the then Heir Regent, Spacebeing to kick Sumo out of his position. Spacebeing did as asked, and then Sumo wanted a trial against Jarno. This trial was for Jarno to prove why Sumo should be kicked off, while Sumo had to defend his position. During the trial Sumo talked in private with Jarno, where the two reconciled, and ended the trial thereafter. This act would calm the tensions between the nation into a long peace. As peace settled White Raven was offered to join KATO.

## KATO - Huitca War

The second war between the nation of Huitca and White Raven was caused when Huitca blew up the moon, once more thrusting the two nations into war. Kato declared an invasion as a response to Huitca's action, and Elkanthras was used as a forward operation base for the army. The invasion brought Kato so far inland as Regnum, where they besieged the city, and successfully captured it. Though during the war White Raven suffered heavy desertion, along with most other KATO members. Forcing them to stop their advance, allowing Huitca to regain their territory, as well as take control over the fortification of Elkanthras.
