Nilovia: Difference between revisions

'''The Serene Kingdom of Nilovia''', commonly known as [[Nilovia]], is a nation located on the southeastern coast of [[Aurora]]. It shares its only border with [[Tuvaltastan]], and lies north of [[Dragonia]], separated by water inf the form of the Altair Strait. The nation spans from the Lurji Gulf to the west, and the [[Sea of Tranquility]] to the east, with the Lovian Peninsula jutting southwards to the Altair Strait. The nation is geographically split by the Itsavs Mountains, with the mediterranean western coast and the eastern plains straddling the mountain range. Nilovia is surrounded entirely by both Tuvaltastan and Dragonia in terms of maritime access, and thus is strategically tied to both nations. Three islands are under Nilovian sovereignty, those being Dats’q’evlili Island located within Lake Nilovi, Gamagrek'undzuli located between the [[Azure Sea]] and the Lurji Gulf to the west, and the small Shek’rebili Isle, situated between the Twin Bays and the Sea of Tranquility. Its northern border is made up primarily of two rivers, the Uamravi River making up the majority of the western half save for the border established between the peak of the Itsavs Mountains and Lake Nilovi by the 1683 Treaty of Land Rights and Sovereignty, and the Changali River making up the eastern half.

 

 

The Lake Nilovi region has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with the first signs of sentient life existing as early as 30,000 BCE. The Fendelkh Fiefdom reigned over the Lake Nilovi area from 1783 BCE to around 1400 BCE, when it, along with a number of other civilizations would suddenly end, in an event known as the Great Vanishing. By the 8th Century, the Nelovic Kingdom would be formed by King Turini out of the various city-states around Lake Nilovi, until in 135 BCE, when the Nelovic Kingdom and the Lovian Empire would engage in the Nelo-Lovian War, resulting in the Lovian Empire taking over the region and expanding its territory to the Sea of Tranquility. In 135 AD, Lovian King Odelfv assassinated Suvolic King Rorik II, thus uniting the Suvolic Empire and the Lovian Empire into the Grand Monarchy of Salovia. Nilovia would remain part of Salovia until during the Salovian Interregnum, where from 1001 to 1036, the first Kingdom of Nilovia was formed. Spanning a similar territory to modern-day Nilovia, the kingdom experienced difficulties in establishing its legitimacy, and as the Salovian Monarchy began regaining sovereignty, the Wars of Reconquest began from 1030 to 1043, with the Salovian Reconquest of Nilovia taking place from 1033 to 1036.
