The History of Elthonia

## **Elthonia: history**

The Kingdom of Elthonia was formerly known as *Empire of Alton* or *Empire of Elthon* about 1000 years ago. Elthonia is a very old country, and has seen very great as well as the worst of times. Not much is known about Elthonia before 1220.

It all began with the Oxodeur family, leaving their home in Caryléra, a small island that was very poor. Young Philip Oxodeur born in 1202, the son of a farmer and a housewife, was tired of the treatment him and his family got even after working for a whole day. After the murder of his parents by the aristocrat Lord Helford Van Léra due to his impatient nature in 1220, Philip fled with his four sisters.

Lucky for them, the fisher Lucran Edmodry agreed to help them and together with him, his wife and his three children they left the island for good.

For days they travelled before discovering Elthon, a beautiful big island. They were greeted by the locals and Philip and his family felt safe again. Still mourning the loss of his parents, Philip decided to make sure his younger sisters didn’t have to go through all the work he had.

Philip and his sisters stayed with Patrolia Engserd and her daughter Maleyna. He spend more and more time with Maleyna, who helped him with his grief and offered her friendship. For many months they both became inseperatable and fell in love later on. Even though Elthon was a great island it was also quite chaotic. Many arguements between locals, crime rate and almost no one who took care of it. When he asked about leaders someone laughed him off.

As the problems became more and more, Philip decided that something needed to be done in order to help the island and its people. He helped wherever and whenever he could and in no time earned respect for his willpower and strength. The people decided to make him leader. On that very day, September 21st 1221, 19 year old Philip Oxodeur became the first ruler of the Oxodeur Dynasty. His reign was glorious, even if he didn’t live long. He married Maleyna and they had two children. Prince Imperial Hans-Philip, and Prince Hendrik Oxodeur. Unfortunately his son, future Emperor Hans-Philip wasn’t as good of a ruler than his father. He was known as „Hans-Philip the bloodthirsty“. With Philip’s grandson, Albertus the wise, the Oxodeur line was gone at least for a while.

## Trenelum

With David Trenelum, a young man who was not the child of Albertus' wife, the line of the Trenelum Dynasty started. In honor to his parents he insisted on their last name as his own.

David was a good Emperor who brought good times upon the kingdom. He won many wars, and during his reign, the criminal rate was low. He was a brave man. The Trenelum line ended with his granddaughter, Empress Anne I who did marry a blood related Oxodeur. It was revealed later on that Albertus did have a biological child with his wife, but was kidnapped and never found until the wedding of Anne to his descendant, Finnick. Finnick became Prince Consort and had a happy marriage with Anne until she met Stuart Philipps whom she started an afair with and got pregnant. She gave birth to a boy, Lorcan. Lorcan grew up to become a dictator and was the reason the Throne war of 1426 – 1430 started. He died at the hands of his brother, and Anne’s oldest child, Carl-Gustaf became Emperor.

With Theoden, who was described to a charming and handsome lad, and a good ruler, the Dynasty ended. But some stories say otherwise…

## Empress Anne I

#### Braxton

The people of Elthonia were furious about the many changes of their rulers and the conditions they were left in. It wasn’t any different for Andora Braxton, daughter of a smith and a maid to the Imperial Royal Family. While her mother liked her job, she wasn’t happy with the pay and the treatment by the Emperor’s younger brother Prince Alexander.

They knew a revolution would be coming  soon enough. During the plan making, Andora explored the Palace grounds to find out where the attacking would make sense. She met a young man looking down to her, while he sat on a tree and ate an apple. She was irritated by the man, who was flirting with her for a while. She saw him almost everyday sitting on that tree and eating an apple. One day, she decided to join him.

She thought he was annoying with his constant flirting and sarcasm, but got used to the more time passed. Little did anyone know they fell in love. It was going on for months, no, even 3 years before the revolution fully began. Andora was ready, and chosen by the people to take the Emperor out. Alexander fled into exile, but Theoden stayed.

They stormed into the castle, but the Emperor was nowhere to be found. Andora found him eventually in his bedroom, and when she looked at him, she was shocked. Theoden was the Emperor she had to kill. The man she learned to love was the enemy. He told her to do it, but she refused.

She lied to the other’s that he might have ran away and always visited him at night. Sne fell pregnant with his children, twins. During that time she married her friend, James Tarden so her pregnancy wouldn’t notice anything. In her sixth month pregnant, Theoden was caught and brought to Andora. She asked to speak to him alone, and she did. He asked her to kill him, which she refused crying. He comforted her and kissed her one last time, and Andora did it. She killed him.

One that day, 14th May, 1489 Andora Braxton became the first Queen of Elthonia, the first of the Braxton Dynasty. She gave birth to the twins, Crown Prince Henry and Princess Louise. With her husband, she had one daughter named Princess Anne. While the whole kingdom adored her, she was heartbroken, and wore black for 5 years. The Queen loved her husband, but was never over her first love. Most letters written to him were burned by Princess Anne to make sure the rumours of their love would be forgotten in history. But not all of her letters were kept in the Castle. Andora kept writing letters for him and even had several diaries. Her son Henry knew about his biological father and named a Duchy, Theoderan in honour to him. which is still a title used by the Royals. Currently there is no one to hold that title.

## King Henry I

Henry I was the first King of the Braxton Dynasty and the oldest child and only son of Queen Andora. When he was born, Prince James Tarden wasn't too happy about the fact that he did not look like him.

Henry was a lover of arts, and despite his love for it he never had the chance to finish his biggest painting, that he spend several years on. It is now supposedly hanging on a wall in his tomb. He gave his youngest granddaughter Princess Diane (later Empress Diane of Sierana) the title of Duchess of Trenelum when she was two years old, a title which is no longer in use, but can be if the monarch decides so.

Frederick was considered a great King and person, and was beloved by the whole kingdom. However, when he was young, his wife, Elenore, was treated horribly by the people and the press, as she was seen as "not good enough" and "not royal enough", as she was only a "Lady" and not the Princess he (According to Princess Beatrix of Bedurland, whose crush on him was widely known) deserved.
