'''Native Period of Durakia (?-1916)'''
Little is known of the Dwarven settlements of Durakia, though archaeological finds date them to being at least 10,000 years ago. These settlements were mainly small villages built around fertile rivers which were isolated from each other by the time of expeditions in the 1600s. Theses settlements still remain or Irnac today,with many believing that the theorised Dwarf Nation in Durakia fled to Irnac. The Irnac Dwarves signed the Trwaty of Irnac with Asendavia and Norgsveldet in the e late 1500s, with a tribute being paid to not set up colonies in the islands. This treaty

'''Durakia and the Great War (1916-1917)'''
After the Wesnov Landings, the newly declared Durakia was forced into mainly focusinf on internal affairs. However, Durakan volunteer groups provided assistence in weapon manufracture and had breifly fought on all fromts until the end of the war. The most effective meqns of which Durakia helped was with AMLF agents working their way into convoys and redirecting the supplies to Durakia and its allies.
On the 10th July 1917, the Arnstal Agreement was signed between [[Asendavia]] and Durakia, which saw Durakia internationally recognised as an Independant state and saw Durakia exit [[The Great War]].
'''Martov Era (1917-1934)'''
By the end of [[The Great War]], Sariv Martov had gained full power over the Durakan Revolutionary Council, solidified by the Death of Linski in December 1918.He was voted in as the second Head of the Durakan Government, thoigh there is some evidence of electoral fraud, with Martov winning 90% of the vote. He then passed the Civil Defense Act in May 1919 after the murder of Hesse, which is commonly believed to have been orchastrated by Martov.This act allowed Martov to appoint Union Council members as he saw fit and ended elections in Durakia.
Martov's Dictatorship was Totalitarian in nature, and perscuted anyone who was deemed a traitor to Durakia. These included known followers of [[Asendavianism]] and other religions, those previoisly of upper class - regardless of political views - and anyone deemed to be showing Asendavian culture or anti-communist beliefs. Those who were caught doing this were put into forced Labour to construct cities like Urnst and Lynal. These acrions, while rapidly irbanising the nation, brought along Anti-Authoritarian Groups such as Sviete od Smer (''English: Liberty or Death'') and Republika Za De Mench. (''English: Republic for the People'') These groups gained a lot of popularty in the early 1930s after Conscription was introduced to fight the Durakan-Dwarven Wars.
The Durakan-Dwarvern Wars were fought from 1924-1933, where the Conscripted Durakan Army fought the Dwarvern Settlements for their lands. The First War (1924-1926) saw a resounding success for the Durakan Army, who usedmodern arms purchased from [[Great Morstaybishlia]] easily defeated the Dwarvern Settlements on Durakia and the Gateway Islands.This also saw heavy investment in the Hailyk Military Fortress, seeing the Hailyk University of Warfare producing some of the best Military Commanders in Novaris, such as Simo Haya, who was awarded the Defender of the Proletaroat Medal at only 23 for his skill in the Battle of Ostrom. The Second War (1928-1929) saw the capture of the Cernov Islands.The third Durakan-Dwarvern War (1931-1933) was not as successful as the first two, with the tired and demoralised Durakan Army failing to conquer Irnac Island, with the seizure of the Northwest Territories only being successful after the unlikely victory of the Battle of Ostrum.

The Third Durakian Dwarvern War hit the Durakan economy hard as well as bringing the previously sipenced population to start mass strikes, which were met by firing squads. These strikes made the failing economy to accelerate. Amgered by the government mistreatment, armed revolts began in Arnstal, Kultin, Marlo and Weltam, declaring themselves the Sveitefront (Liberty Front). Martov called the Army to intervene, but Haya, now head of the Army, defected to the SF. This saw a large portion of the Army defect, beginning the Civil War in earnest, between the
