The **Republic of Azcuria**, commonly known as **Azcuria**, Is a nation ruling over the South West portion of the continent of Nullos. The nation was created by adapting the Cities of Loic, and joining them together, the people visioned a powerful and relevant Azcuria entering the continent and bringing life back to Nullos.

## History

### Origins

Azcuria can trace its history to the Cities of Loic. Each city has been blessed by Loic before the rise of Azcuria. Lys' family has overseen each cities governance all the way up to the creation of Azcuria. A convention was held where it was decided that Lys Verasi would take the position of Chancellor over her brother and sister. Later, when the People of Spirits, led by Loic came to visit once more. Loic blessed Lys, with the gift of Diplomacy and Leadership, swearing her loyalty to her people. Lys Verasi hand drew the flag of Azcuria, eight stars representing the eight ministres of Azcuria, the balck circle standing for the unity of Loic's Children. The two orange stripes representing the colours of culture.

### The Miklagard Dispute

King Jordy the Arrogant (Azcurian Name for King Jordy of Miklagard) had claimed Loic's blessed land. Lys, Now Guardian of the Land, was horrified. Just few weeks after being blessed, it could crumble. Lys had given Jordy many options, one of them was to split the land by a border, Jordy denied it, and pursued a course of aggression, just when it started to get heated and it looked as if war was on the Horizon, Steppe, Khagan of Ordu and other world leaders brought Jordy and Lys to a meeting, were they would discuss a new way forward.

Jordy out of complete surprise brought his entire council to the meeting into the late town of Helingsborg in Azcuria. When meeting, it was discussed with a possible whole new nation to sit on the island, or a vassal, so much was going on, in the meeting. The meeting ended with a possible joint vassal or new nation, Jordy had written this already. Lys had to think about it. However just when she was going to sign it the next day, a whole new set of problems arrived. Some of Jordy's "loyal" citizens had thrown a coup and brutally exiled Jordy and his remaining men. This would cause the first official war on the server.

### The Cobra War

*Melietz Ernac In Hanziezh*

The Cobra War was the first official war on the server. Very quickly after coming into power, Kagami, the new leader of Abstrakt (Jordys Aggressive Successors) would give of a set of demands. These demands were given to Azcuria and started a large justification for war. Many nations worldwide already denounced the nation of Abstrakt and thus many started to side with Azcuria on the conflict.

The demands stated that Azcuria unclaim the disputed land and let Abstrakt take control of the town.
Azcuria never met the demends and thus on 11/30/21 Abstrakt declared war. They claimed the land of Hegolyo as theres and started to prepare for an invasion of not only the town, but the rest of Azcuria. Various nations responded against Abstrakt by simply declaring war. Some decided to set up a volunteer forces and a few churches, such as the Church of the Crimson Court declared a crusade against Abstrakt. Slowly, yet surly an army supporting Azcuria would appear.

Azcurian forces ended up becoming less than expected. Only around half the fighters said to fight showed up and most weren't equiped to fight well. Most had basic diamond armor and tools. Yet what made the force so promising wasn't the equipment or the unorganization within the army. It was the numbers. The Azcurians knew they would have to scale up the mountain. Yet, they didn't know where. Lys made an order to spread out the army incase of an attack from anywhere.

The army of Abstrakt started to reach the top of the hill. They split up into two groups. These two groups had TNT to blow the wall up. This had an gaping opening in the wall and instantly caused many troops of Azcuria to be exposed. Kagami used a crossbow and fireworks to rain hell into the fort. The holes made by the TNT trapped some poor Azcurians and many started to die.

The war lasted from 9:00 Am EST to around 10:30 EST with the battle of Hegolyo lasting for about fourty five minutes. It ended in Azcurian Defeat

### Gezeizheiz

*Gezeizheiz, Hanziezh for "Light on Fire".*

With the terms of defeat laid upon Azcuria, Lys could not swallow it, while fooling everyone by accepting the terms, She had a plan which she laid out to Charlie, her younger sister. The very day after the Embarrasing Defeat, They burned down all their cities, and put their land up for auction. With this, Lys travelled south, towards her good friend, Rin. Where she set up a colony called Lano. Lys' intentions for that treaty is still unknown to this day..

With the cities torched and crumbled, Lys set about trying to hold onto Azcuria's riches, so she start transporting masses of cargo to Lano. Loic had guided Lys once more, to follow in his footsteps, by doing so, he blessed the new land of Lano, for Azcurian use. He told Lys, to never give up, and to never give anything back to the evil.
