Anvard: Difference between revisions

'''Anvard''', officially the '''Empire of Anvard''', iswas a country located in the southernmost region of the main continent of [[CivRealms 2.0]].

The origins of the settlers of Anvard began within the [[Varathia (CivRealms)|Varathian Empire]] before its decline. In mid-November of 2019, a group of Varathian settlers led by [[VolutionFs]] migrated into the seemingly empty jungles of Tenochtitlan to found the City of Anvard under the Varathian flag, but not too long after the settlers founded Anvard under the graces of the Varathian Emperor and the government, the city of [[Alexandria]] declared its independence from Varathia. On December 2nd of 2019, the settlers declared their independence from Varathia on the same day right after Alexandria declared its independence, forming the Kingdom of Anvard. Anvardians believed that the collapsing Varathian Empire was incapable of protecting the newly found colony and so Anvardians sought to rely upon themselves for protection.

The beginnings of the Anvardian economy was mostly agrarian, farming beetroot, wheat, and cocoa, Anvardians sold large quantities of crops to Civcorp[[CivCorp]] and to many individuals through private deals. The accidental discovery of an aqua nether upon the previously believed to be not so valuable island of Anvard accelerated industrial development. Although Anvardians were just a small group of newfriends wanting to carve out a peaceful place in the world for themselves they knew that industrial and economical advancement was required to survive against its neighbors in the southern hemisphere, within the first two months of Anvard's founding, Anvardians produced and exported boats, bastions, enchanted tools, prot IV mithril armour, and various other goods; being the first nation of the jungle to produce and export such industrial goods.

With the arrival of the [[Bobanga|Bobangan]] people approximately two weeks after the founding of Anvard, Tenochtitlan was dissolved and Bobanga became the new state that disputed Anvardian territory. About two weeks later, the First Scholar of Bobanga, [[DarkyDu]], constructed a fort within Anvardian claim with the intention of reclaiming Tenochtitlan's minor territorial losses. Anvard called upon its ally Alexandria for military aid but was shockingly denied help and Alexandrian leadership even went as far as to say that Anvard was just as much as an aggressor despite the very clear aggressions and intentions from Bobanga. Meanwhile many Alexandrian citizens were sympathetic towards their former Varathian brothers in Anvard and offered up themselves as volunteers, unbeknownst to their government, if Anvard was at risk of being conquered. The Anvardian King and his militia stood largely alone but with superior weaponry and armour, quickly responded to the threat to Anvard's sovereignty by besieging the fort and demanded that the government in Dar-al-Vexler recognizes Anvardian claim. Upon receiving a refusal to recognize Anvard, a short siege ensued, and the First Scholar DarkyDu was pearled and other Bobangans slain by the Anvardian King himself. DarkyDu was shortly released after Bobanga had recognized the Anvard's sovereignty.

After Bobanga was conquered by the Ez2Crew Empire, Anvardian sovereignty was once again threatened and rose to arms with the coalition that was rising around the world to beat back the Ez2Crew-Bobangan threat. After the Bobangans had been conquered, the Bobangans remained unhappy with losses to the Ez2Crew empire but had eventually began to consistently and willingly worked with Ez2Crew forces once the war began and didn't try to take the opportunity to achieve their own independence by working with coalition forces. Anvard saw this as an opportunity to be able to acquire some much needed farmland as the hills on the island of Anvard couldn't sustain agriculture and many Anvardians still held a deep grudge from the previous Bobangan invasion. Only the King of Anvard participated with the coalition, primarily serving as a assault tunnel digger, transporter of obsidian between attack bunkers and participated in breaking the spike of the Ez2Crew vault. As a result of the war, Anvard took the territory it had occupied and bastioned during the weeks long war. This war had also saw the expansion of territory into Bobangan territory from Alexandria, Cantina, and Miletos. Eslenti had also been founded as a result of the war.<br />
