## History

The Kingdom of Arvandor was founded over 500 years ago by a group of nomadic tribes who settled in the region after a long and difficult journey across the sea. They were drawn to the area's rich natural resources, including fertile farmland and abundant forests. Over time, the tribes came together to form a single kingdom, and they established a powerful monarchy that ruled over the land. Queen Partheina and King Kenrick were two of the most beloved rulers in the kingdom's history, known for their fair and just leadership.  Under their reign, the kingdom experienced a period of great prosperity and growth, with advancements in agriculture, trade, and the arts. In 1851, King Kenrick passed away , leaving Queen Partheina to rule alone. Despite the loss of her partner, Queen Partheina continued to lead with the same wisdom and compassion as before, earning her own place in the hearts of the people. Her legacy would be felt for generations to come, as the kingdom continued to thrive and flourish under her guidance until she passed away in 1859. After her passing, her firstborn child, Prince Sebastian I, took the throne and continued his parents' legacy of wise and compassionate leadership. He proved to be a worthy successor, beloved by the people just as her mother had been. In 1860, his uncle, Duke Ferdinand, attempted to overthrow him in a coup d'état, but the people rallied behind Sebastian, and the rebellion was quickly put down. He was told he had to marry in order to secure his place on the throne, and he chose Princess Rosalind of Braganza. Together, they ruled Arvandor with fairness and prosperity, earning the love and respect of their subjects. Their marriage was a happy one, and they had nine children together, with the oldest, Sebastian II, being groomed to succeed his father as king. Regardless of facing challenges and threats from all around the world, King Sebastian I and Queen Rosalind remained steadfast in their commitment to protect and serve their people. Their legacy lives on as one of the most beloved royal couples in Arvandor's history. In 1910, King Sebastian, Queen Rosalind, President Blackwood of Terranova  and others created an agreement  known as the Terravandor Treaty, which established a strong alliance between the two nations. This treaty paved the way for economic growth and cultural exchange, solidifying King Sebastian and Queen Rosalind's reputation as visionary leaders who prioritised diplomacy and cooperation. The kingdom grew and prospered,  becoming a beacon of peace and stability in the region. The Terravandor Treaty also served as a model for other nations to follow, inspiring similar alliances and partnerships throughout the continent. The Kingdom of Arvandor remained a proud and independent nation, and its people are fiercely loyal to their king and queen. Today, the Kingdom of Arvandor is a thriving nation with a strong economy and a rich cultural heritage. Its strategic location at the crossroads of trade routes has made it a hub for commerce and diplomacy, and its commitment to democracy and human rights has earned it respect and admiration from nations around the world.
