The Territories that are now Durakia was sparsely populated until the formation of Durakia, with Dwarven settlements being few and far between. Theories have been made of a expansive Dwarven Civilization that used to inhabit Durakia and Irnac due to recent archaeological finds being publicly released which is suspected to be evidence of large Dwarven settlements across the island. The most likely theory is that there was a large Dwarven state, however its population decreased rapidly from some great tragedy. The islands were generally left alone by the empires of the world, with it not being seen as strategically valuable enough to set up a colony there, with only minor exploration of the area. Durakia Island was settled by the Asendavian Miner's and Labourers's Front during the Great War, after a retreat following the Battle of Tungrad. The AMLF founded the settlements of Wesnov and Arnstal, eventually declaring themselves as the Miner's Republic of Durakia.
History of Durakia
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 was held until the Wesnov Landings.
Precursor to the Wesov Landings (1913-1916)
The Great War had put a lot of strain on the Working Class Population of Asendavia. To fight for better working conditions and social reform, Arith Linsky formed the Asendavian Miner's and Labourers's Front. The AMF spread quickly with the unhappy working class, soon getting the attention of the nations fighting against Aswndavia.
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.
Martov Era (1917-1934)
By the end of the War, Sariv Martov had gained full power over the DRC, making himself a Dictator in everything but name.
