Alksearia: Difference between revisions

The Kingdom was birthed after the union of the Grand Duchies of Eastern and Western Alksearia in 1840 after the conclusion of the two-year war known as the [[First Succession War]]. The union lead to King Eldras III to take over as the King. The first major expansion of the new borders saw Alksearia move further inland. The capital city was moved from Sera-Novia to Urgia-Nova in 1842 after King Eldras decided that 1) it was a more central location and 2) offered better space for the Tuvanian Manor. The Eldras Manor (previously known as the Tuvanian Castle) still stands today, and is a popular tourist location for people to see.

King Eldras IX of House Tuvania serves as the Imperial ruler and sole executor to the operations of Alksearia, while Archbishop Rhea III of House Eternatus serves as the head of the [[Church of Xaethos]] and serves as the highest religious authority in the Kingdom. However, the Church of Xaethos's doctrine is symbolically passed by the Monarchy after a review as dictated by the Church Act of 1902, after a separatist movement tried to force the Church to declare the Monarchy "treasonous and incompatible for Church governance."

The First Kingdom of Alksearia was founded by a group of nobles who came together in 1838. They wanted to increase the security of the nation and to put an end to the political instability that the nation was facing. There are no records, that are currently known, about the group of nobles who discussed and created the first law book and ruling documents of the newly established kingdom. The only problem the early kingdom faced was who was to be the King. Two noble families started to gather supporters behind them to claim the newly established throne: House Tuvania and House Delvarian. Neither house was willing to give in to the other, and it resulted in a 2-year war known colloquially as the [[First Succession War]]. There were only three battles that were fought in this brief war: The Battle of Novia Pass, the Battle of Alkia's Run, and the Battle of Delvarian's coast. In the end, after three crushing defeats, the Delvarian House surrendered and allowed for the head of the Tulvanian house to be the first monarch. On the morning of April 13th, 1840, Lord Eldras III was crowned King Eldras. Upon his ascent, since he already was the third of his name, King Eldras continued with keeping his suffix of Eldras III.
