Maxan Archipelago

The Maxan Isles (in gold)

## Geography

The Maxan archipelago is located northeast of the Ga Xalian peninsula, especially close to the area near Xon, which is why the first colonizers came from the peninsula.

## Etymology

The name came from the Xalnish language: mo Xon wich means "new Xon". The union between the natives and the Shirian conquerors created the Maxan language and culture.

### Pre-Moxon Decline

The islands were first discovered by the legendary Shirian coloniser Agixadar. A major city, Agixiana, is named after him.

After the union of cultures the locals started to claim their independence creating the nation of Moxon. The Maxan people tried to rebel twice: the First Maxan Rebellion failed, but with the second one a year later, Moxon found their independence when allying with Moria. The Maxan state slowly became a powerful nation, a great liberal trade power (allied with Jasua and the Jasuan Trade Union).

After the fall of the Jasuan Empire, Moxon slowly started to reorganize: the new main allies were Pextum and Mea Glazia (later Pextoglazia). In the Great Gomic War they actually managed to defeat the Oppians; after the war Moxon became one of the major powers.

Moxon then later went on to become insane and was invaded and divided in 212.

### Union of Xolnomarka

After 212, Moxon was split up into many states some of which with holdings in the Archipelago. some prominent states during this time were Xofka, Agixiana, and Vensa Lo until in 265 when Moshiria united them into the Union of Xolnomarka. The Union flourished until in 310 when it was invaded by both Nafa and the Fashran Tonxara.

### Nafan Age

The Isles were controlled by both Nafa and the Tonxara until Fashros' division in 322, and split in 324, giving the Nafans an edge over them. After conquering the whole of the Archipelago in 360 after the Jafxoi Tonxara surrendered, Nafa went on to be one of the largest empires ever seen until its invasion in the years 435-442. Amaxras was then put in charge of the Isles.

### Post-Nafan Age

Amaxras survived on the Isles until in 504 when the Hoxoi Coast invaded them. Then, in 520, not long after, the isles were taken back by Emastaly and Rumay, splitting the isles between the two. It was this was until in 585 when Rumay gave up their Maxan possessions and gave them to Emastaly. Emastaly would go on to become an obvious Gomic power, and in 680 they formed the NCH, or Northern-Coast Helvania.

### Age of Feudalism

The NCH would keep the Archipelago in its control until in 738 when Deshmi Redyna invaded NCH territory in the Ga Xalian Peninsula and the Maxan Archipelago splitting it between them and Lerush. Lerush was then recolonized by Emastalia in 847.

### Modern-Day

Emastalian-colonized Lerush (now called Moxonia) expanded throughout the isles in 895 during Deshmi Redyna's collapse. They then gain independence in 915 only to be conquered by Pyarxinisa in 1117. It stays this way until in 1156 when the Famanan Central Council is established, then controlling the land until their eventual collapse during the Famanan Sunset in the year 1245. No more countries on the Maxan Archipelago were then established before the Amanatanian escape to earth in 1252.
