=== Unification ===
In 400 A.D. Aikthudr'zhur was finally united by the House of Ny'thudr'zhan beneath the Gloaming Throne. The House was formally enshrined in the Akuan tradition and is supported by three powerful Shatlo elven families who symbolically surrendered their blades to the Ny'thudr'zhan and were in turn granted governance over their respective regions of the new Kingdom. This created a division between supporters of the new monarchy and Akuan Traditionalists, the latter of which cited Akuan religious positions on non-hierarchical governance in opposition to calls for centralization in the face of foreign influences.
The monarchists found an important political ally in local Ny'Sænuri clans within the kingdom, who supported the enshrinement and became the enforcement arm of the monarchy. Despite this the political divides lead to a period known as the Troubles. Though no violent uprising occurred, the Kingdom suffered from general discontent and passive opposition throughout its lands. support of other groups.

▲The end of the Great War sees the fulfillment of Katharine’s bargain with Aikthudr'zhur. However, the escalating Cryrian Anarchy offers the Kingdom a chance to fully eject foreign influence once and for all. In 1923, Cryrian military outposts in Aikthudr'zhur were closed, and the Kingdom reclaimed the coastal concessions as well as full control of its own affairs.
In 1960, under King Håkan and a new parliament, renewed interest in protecting the interior of the country’s natural resources led to a new constitutional amendment to keep at least 65% of the forest in the country intact. The push led to a trend of eco-friendly and environmentalism in both culture and government. The Kingdom sees a widespread push towards renewable energy, with its geography considered to be particularly suitable for hydroelectricity. The trend of green energy and environmentalism is still strong and on-going, with a ban on all non-electric personal cars enacted in 2011, and public transit switched over to renewable power sources in 2021, which was met with success. By 2022, virtually all cars, trains and cities are completely powered by renewable energies.
