== History ==
==== Archaic Arelat (February 2020) ====
Arelat was founded on the 9th of February of 2020, [https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/f1fsm9/announcing_arelat_land_of_lions/ announced] and intended to be a small, one man nation serving the purposes of it's leader /u/[[ScandinavianTaco]], an [[Alexandria|Alexandrian citizen]] who first lay claim and founded the kingdom, taking for himself the title of ''Dominus'' and declaring his primacy over the valley which would lend its name. He was joined almost immediately by /u/joshyutah, a like-minded and diligent individual who was quickly awarded the title ''Maior Palatii (''Master of the Palace) indicating his status as being equal in all but name, and the two soon turned the valley of Arelat into a profitable and cozy home, which each player domesticating the Western and Eastern sides of the river respectively.
==== Expansionist Age (February 2020-May 2020) ====
The initial claims of Arelat consisted of the main valley and the adjacent land immediately to East. The majority of the region was sparsely inhabited, and this set the foundation for further expansion in the months to follow. The second expansion was in the wake of the [[Ez2War]], in which Arelat provided material and modest manual support to [[The Coalition]]. Arelat expanded to claim territory contested directly to the north, which they liberated through the force of their arms.The third expansion came after prolonged negotiations between Arelat and [[Savaguard|Savaguard.]] Savaguard had just completed their controversial annexation of [[Unitas]], a state which had a sparse presence in the region. Arelat, who had been farming and developing the land in their absence, now found itself in a potentially compromised position. However, in exchange for an Arelat Mustang and recognition of Savaguard claims, the King of Savaguard ceded the valley to Arelat, and in doing so further legitimizing their own position.

==== The Dark Age (June 2020-) ====
For reasons beyond the scope of the game, activity in Arelat declined precipitously following May of 2020. The road up to the main castle was torn up and the entrances to the valley were closed. Since then, there has still been occasional activity by the small nation, but beyond repelling a few raids, the kingdom has largely become quiet and recalled itself from international affairs. There were no further expansions, and the nation was deliberately neutral in the [[Great War]]. However, the kingdom did retain some degree of activity, and still upheld its claims when challenged.<ref>
== International Relations ==
Internationally, Arelat has known relatively few international incidents, warring only once in the [[Treaty of Serenity|War Against Columbian Aggression]]. Notably, /u/ScandinavianTaco has settled a dispute over horses with a neighboring lord of [[Savaguard]] via personal combat in an arena in the capital of [[Wheatistan]], and /u/joshyutah has made numerous ambitious ventures in markets as far as [[Napistan]]. Arelat is known for it's sale [[Arelat Mustangs]], a choice breed of fast, typically black spotted horses which have been sold throughout the continent.
