Ethalria was one of Aurora's three colonial powers alongside [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[Grand Republic of Salovia|Salovia]], exerting influence and possessions in [[Arcturia]] and [[Gondwana]], but over time it held less and less influence on the world stage. |
Ethalria was one of Aurora's three colonial powers alongside [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[Grand Republic of Salovia|Salovia]], exerting influence and possessions in [[Arcturia]] and [[Gondwana]], but over time it held less and less influence on the world stage. The Second Posolic War led to a complete loss of the lands of Marislia and influence in the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]]. Ethalria signed all of its Arcturian possessions and territories to other Auroran powers to end the war. |

Ethalria was the largest empire to span [[Aurora]], with territory nearly uninterrupted in modern day [[Great Morstaybishlia]], parts of [[Grand Monarchy of Salovia|Salovia]] and other empires of the Auroran continent, its economic prowess outmatched the Kormistazic, Caltharus and Salovian Empires combined. Known as ''Ethalried'' in the first millennium, Ethalria was ruled under male-preference primogeniture until 1152 CE when Arin Visteue, later Queen Arin III led a coup d'etat against King Haligar V. From thereon a matrilineal primogeniture was established and because of the initial imbalance of power allowed other empires to take over vast swathes of land. Ethalria was officially a Queendom from the Arin Coup D'etat until 1826 where it became a Matriarchy. |
