'''Staynes''' is a country within [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. It shares southern borders with [[Axdel]], [[Valeria]] and [[Durentria]], [[Caltharus]] to the east and [[Vothetria]] to the south-east. |

The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations. |

Arin couped the Krösnauen Empire and established matrilineal succession in 890. The claim to the throne was contested and the nation fell into civil war. With the Krösnauen Empire’s attention on its internal problems, parts of the outer territories were either annexed by the second Maltervenian Empire, annexed by other empires or seceded, forming their own kingdoms. The Maltervenian Empire saw rapid physical and economic expansionism across northern Aurora and established itself as the hub of a new trade route. These lands were a mixture of loosely controlled, economically dependent nations or satellite kingdoms. |

When the decline of the Krösnauen Empire began, Egbert declared himself king of Staynnica and amassed large armies from his influence as a nobleman and the new nation began rapid expansionism in the north-west. Staynnica became the largest kingdom to secede from the collapse of the Krösnauen Empire, though it inevitably became economically dependent on the trade and riches of the Maltervenian Empire. |

The first grandson of Egbert, King Ræulf, sailed to Aetern in 965 and met with the kings of the Kingdoms of Dovia, Laulia and Calthia. Unhappy with how they were treated under their economic dependency of Maltervenia, the four kings planned military strategies and came to an agreement. News caught wind in Maltervenia and Ræulf’s boat was sunk on its return voyage, though survivors managed to escape and return the plans and news of his death to his brother Rænnulf who was a revered military commander. Rænnulf became king, and declared war on Maltervenia. |
