Vosk-Moreva

The Vosk-Moreva Federation, often called the VMF, is a prominent human nation within West-Ciradon, bordering Midboria and the former nation of Voskgardia. It is a stalwart nation of industry, having been a primary refuge for the Voskgardian people and their ideas after the War of the Dawn. As such, it holds a strong grudge against the Elderkin, especially those of the Tassendrel Empire, and has been shoring up its borders against invasion in recent years.

## History

### Early History

For centuries, the Vosk Basin was divided into numerous vassal states of the neighboring Elderkin empires; the Tassendrel and Elruth Empires, the Tree Dynasties, the Union of Great Holds and Midboria. Treated as game pieces to be strategically maneuvered at best, and as playthings to be used and discarded at worst, the region had been marked by numerous proxy wars and internecine conflicts throughout its history.

### Formation of Moreva

Eventually, the human nation of Moreva was able to carve a small slice of the land for themselves and gained a small amount of independence. These ideas spread throughout the neighbouring vassals, creating an interconnected network of backdoor alliances between the smaller countries. However, any time these nations gathered en masse to fight back against their Elderkin rulers, they were beaten down with ruthless abandon.

### The War of the Dawn

This attitude changed at the onset of the war of the dawn. The vassal republic of Voskgardia, now the largest human nation of the Basin, was attacked in earnest by the Elves of Tassendrel. However, for the first time, the Elderkin armies were repelled, faced with new inventions like the MG-12 Machine gun.

After this. the nations of the Basin made a secret pact in order to keep Voskgardia alive. They agreed to spread the message of victory and several of the new Vosk innovations to other countries, and helped resupply the fighting nation as Tassendrel and it's allies grew closer.

### Defensive Pact

Eventually, Voskgardia fell, most of the refugees fleeing into the human lands to the west. Fearing that the Elves might continue west seeking to sweeten their humiliatingly close victory, diplomats from the various nations of the Vosk Basin came together in Tavohr, the capital of Moreva, and agreed to a mutual defensive pact.

When no attack came from the battered Elderkin, they human nations seized the opportunity and threw off their shackles together, declaring themselves to the world as the United Federation of Moreva and the Nations of the Vosk. The Vosk-Moreva Federation, as it would come to be known, was a fledgling nation with many hurdles to overcome, not the least of which was the influx of refugees from Voskgardia itself.
