Krohil

For the same nation during the period of the Kro'ev Exile, read The Kingdom of Kaga

Krohil, officially referred to as the Krohil Vromejoghu (Realm of Krohil) or the Empire of Krohil was a nation founded in late May 2020 by Khardbass. Initially part of Caesar's Legion, under the name of Ila'Korhil Aroyetre Krea'se Vromejoghu ( the Ever-Expanding State of the New Krohil ), also refered to as the State of Kro'meagh, it went on to become the brief hegemon of Nro'meagh after the Kro'ev War against hostile Jevoghnya. Soon after the war, the crimes committed in the name of the Kro'ev revival led to their exile, away from their ancestral lands, in what is dubbed the Long March. After first settling in Hvalsey, Vinland, they would go on to re-populate Kaga, near Adina. The nation of Kro'meagh is one of the most controversial chapters of Nro'meagh'ev history. Their methods, actions and behaviour has been seen as disruptive towards the community, including the obby-bombing of the town of Boria, which had close ties to Jevoghnya, along with their ultra-nationalistic and revisionist view against Jevoghnya led to wide-spread contempt against the rogue state.

It is important to note that there are two nations that have used the name of Krohil during their existence. The first one, referred on this page as the Old Krohil, was the common ancestor nation of the present-day Krohil and the city of Jevoghnya. The second one is the present-day Krohil, that for the sake of simplicity shall be referred to as such.

Background
The lands of the Kro'ev have never been united under a sole ruler. During ancestral times, the river was ruled by the Old Krohil. After its fall, their southern descendants took the name of Kro'ev. Their first recorded settlement, which stands to this day, is Kryushro, known then as Kro'ushro. Their Zhreg (Rulers) would found the towns of Kriavnya and Kroyhra ( known today as Flagstaff ). Their rule was weak and the peasants of Kro'ushro and Kroyhra rebelled, forming the Kro'ev Confederation. The merchant town of Kriavnya remains led by the descendants of the old Zhreg to this day. The Confederation would go on to become unstable as well, and decades prior to the rise of the IAKV, would welcome the town of Jevoghnya as their overlords. The lands of Kroyhra remained independent, leading to the rise of the movement known as Durajaregh or the Legion, led by the figure known as Caesar. Kro'ushro would become a shade of its former glory, only an agricultural outpost for their Jevokro'ev overlords. By the time the Legion conquest had begun, the town was a mere village surrounded by several farms, out-shined by the port of Kriavnya, which stood independent.

The Legion War
The Legion gained control of Kroyhra, re-named to Flagstaff to mark the dawn of their rule. Soon, Kro'ushro fell as well, while Kriavnya turned to them for protection, becoming part of them as well. While not a Kro'ev movement itself, it quickly became popular within them, especially after Caesar claimed successorship from the Old Krohil. Vujanya and Jevoghnya soon followed, and eventually the desert tribes to the West were subdued. Within the Legion's ranks, the one referred to as Kyarvas came to wage war against Threlkeld and Boria against the old fortress of the Kro'ev, Arrakeen, in the Sunset Desert. The dispute was settled with him receiving rule of Kyavul. Later, he would return to his lands and take hold of the old Kro'ev towns, basing from Flagstaff, which was expanded.

Rise and Fall
During its heyday, the IAKV would scout the +,+ for expansion, settling in Dith, Kaga and present-day Daedalus. Remains from those days include the reconstruced fort from Dithsmarschen, the rail from Terestai to Kaga, factories in towns like Dithsmarschen, Terestai and Kaga, and several buildings from Kaga. Native aggression would end the Dith colony, while Kaga would become the new Kro'ev home after the Exile, when a larger conspiracy aimed to lead to the secession of the IAKV from the Legion for Pacem protection was revealed. The affair would lead to an all-out attack on the Kro'ev state, that most of them chose to leave in the face of danger. The Exile would lead them across the Vinland Sea, to Hvalsey and then to Kaga.

The Exile
During this period, the IAKV formed the The Kingdom of Kaga. With the IAKV still at the lead, it refurbished the town, expanded its farms and planned a revamped rail station. Unrest grew as the IAKV led the Kro'ev into what proved to be their darkest age. A new communist movement came to existence, the People's Front of Krohil. It soon took over most of Krohil and eventually took power. Soon, they made peace with Nro'meagh and returned home.

A new Krohil
The new state was recalled into simply the Realm of Krohil, with the position of Zhreg being kept but under a reformed role as the new Workers' Party of Krohil came to power. The title went to Tukidoki, and he would lead Krohil into reunification with Jevoghnya, ending the divide since the days of Old Krohil. This was also possible due to the commonalities in their ideology. Eventually, Zhreg Tukidoki would step down and soon after CivClassics would come to an end.

IAKV
During the early days of the Legion, more and more Kro'ev would gather as they longed for a return of their glory days. Formed under Legion member Khardbass, the IAKV was following Kro'ev Revivalism, an ultranationalist, corporatist, revanchist movement that wanted a return of the old Krohil. It would succeed into its goals, but it would come under attack for its actions and a proposal for it to become a protectorate of Panem in exchange for separation from Nro'meagh. It would lead the Kro'ev Exile, settling in Kaga. There, it was overthrown after a while by the Exiles, who would reconcile with Nro'meagh and return home. Its legacy remains controversial, as its massive industrial programs and the restoration of Krohil are remembered by many.

Their ideology promoted an imperialist worldview, with their ambition being a colonial empire that would include former Vinland, all of Dithsmarschen, Kaga, Ossenkirch and extert influence over Ashelor and Adina. They funded large industrialization programs, such as the Kroyhra farms and roads and rails to connect the emerging empire. They accomplished a part of their goals, however. They established ties with the new nation of Krondonia, settle in Hvalsey, Dithsmarschen and Kaga. They would begin settling in Dithsmarschen, now called Didjyetre, planning farms and bunkers. A rail was built from Terestai to the city of Kaga, which was going to be the capital of the new empire. They would also expand towards the islands Vinland held in ancient Vitelia. However, Adina would receive it negatively, leading to a conflict that led to Kro'ev withdrawal from Didjyetre. The empire would be killed in its infancy as the Kro'ev Exile began, with Kaga remaining as the new capital of the Kro'ev, but not of an empire, but rather of a rump state.

The IAKV developed extensive plans of colonization. Krivanya was to become a massive industrial center and the new economical capital. Kryushro was to be rebuilt with massive walls surrounding it, where a government center would be built, along with commercial districts and a great rail station. The Tuva plains were to become XP farming fields, managed from Kroyhra. Vinland and Didjyetre were to become XP farming areas as well, while Kaga and the town of Didjyetre were to become new towns. Kaga was to be entrenched, host an XP exchange and a massive shop, akin to CivCorp. An extensive railway network was to connect all these. However, it is to be noted such plans were unfeasable due to the lack of Kro'ev manpower and the hostility of other nations towards such aggressive expansion.

CivMC
''In the last days of the First Age, as the world was tearing itself apart, the forgotten widsom of the Kro'ev was looked upon once again. Government teams brought to the Anti-Tower the dying mages from their huts high up in the hills next to Kryushro. Ancient spells were spoken after centuries, as the people of the Kro gathered as one, united in faith. At last, the portal emerged. A ray emerged from the Anti-Tower, up in the skies. As the fabric of the world was tearing itself apart, scouts were sent to report on the other side. A new world was there. Green pastures, clear skies, and no one to stand against them. And so forth they walked through the portal to the new world, marking the dawn of the Second Age and the end of the First.'' - The Chronicle of the First Age

As the Kro'ev settled into the new world of CivMC, they made peace with the other nations of Old Nro'meagh, forming the nation of Ila'Kyavul. The new nation is a highly autonomous nation, following the ideology of Kro'ev National Communism.
