the regency of magara
the second largest area of the verianberg empire magara has in the past been a hot bead for Opposition towards the empire.
Structure
the Emperor of verianberg is the head of the state asking as king of magara but he elects or chooses a regent to rule the land for him. most of the time this is a relative of the imperial family. the post also isn't inherited but is given and the emperor can get ride of a regent he doesn't like. however the admistrative division is broken down similar to that od the rest of the empire. with a marshal of magara. a warden of the impieral taxes, and a master of laws.
unlike most of the other parts of the empire however factional division cuts threw magara. these two factions are widly know as the old and young magarans. the young magarans are those lords often with small holding, traditional. many of them where magarans who had swore featlty to stephan the uniter early on becoming some of his first magaran knights. the old magaran however come from (for the most part allegences can change) the old magnate families of urshia (some of these families will even use rall and ria informally) while there tends to be no strick boarders and the crown holding extensive lands in magara, broadly speaking the old and young magarans have there centers of power. the young magarans particlary in the north east around the easter plans, with several of the smaller counites and barones being very close not just in boarders but in blood. the old magarans center of power is around the center of magara with the center being made up of the duchy of kardvaros. factional allegences often change however the core of the factions stay the same. even in the 100ybcw the dukes of kardvaros where having dissagrements with the young magarans families who had bought up essates in there region. armed thugs and hired mercires fought one another in the streets of nertza as a result.

as they worship the old faith/the elven religion they gain the strength of the army of faith this in tern gives the nation 2 armies. the army of faith doesn't leave the nation and so acts a s home defence. due to the old faith there are great fortress cathedrals.
History
the barony of ushia- as the magaras went further north than the recaniks they found the flat and fertile land named by the elves as ushia. there leaders asked the elves for help and the elven lords accepted only if they set aside there own faith and adopted there own. this the magarans accepted but many didn't like it and many uprising took place but were all put down and the unfaithful burned. over time the greatest among the magarans was given a crown by his elven overlord and was crowned on the river then know as the river of dragons but the magarans would call the dranavan. the barony of ushia was under the control of the northern elven kingdoms and rallied to there banner in time of war. magaran soldiers got rid of there short swords for the single edged blades of the elves.
invasion and destruction-when the war between old races and men began the baron declared his loyalty to the elven kings. he marched his army of 6000 west to face the verianberg armys. first at shazna and then at keltona the elves were defeated and pushed deep into there heart land. the baron order his forces to attack the northern invading forces and pushed them against the coast to allow the main body of the elven army to head east to safety.
at the battle of chenizia the barons army of 6000 faced a force of 10000. his opponent was sir gergor von chatz an experienced solider. the battle started in the early hours of the morning and for a while it seemed that the baron was going to win but when night fell a new army emerged on the horizon to help von chatz. as he knew that his army was going to be destroyed if he continued to fighting the baron and his army surrendered.
part of the verianberg empire-when the war ended for the barony was renamed to the regency of magara after the main tribe which settled the area and the verainberg emperor was made the first king of magara and he elected a minor memeber of the house of von anerian to become the first regent of magara.
under the von anerians- under the the house of von anerian many magaran lords were happy. they saw food and trade flow freely. however this changed when the magaran lords rose up in open rebellion after the recaniks sacked seven of there towns. there leader who named himself baron Andrew raskoia 1st took an army and began burning all of the recanik settlements in there way.
the black anarchy- a few years into the garonit civil war franz karl of house varadyi rose up declaring himself king of magara. he killed most of the remaining loyalist driving them into lands held by garon the younger. franz karl was able to rule with relative peace as both garons where fighting one another rather that the insurrectionist movements. hoover when garon the younger finally defeated his brother and his brothers successors he moved into magara where at pannonia franz karl and his kingdom was killed and magara was taken back into the fold.
the end of the von anerians- for the next 4 centuries at least ten magaran rebellions were put down but with the last von anerian emperor ill and dying unable to make an heir many magarans plotted to rise again. the rebellion began a week before the ill emperor died. the magaran nobles linched the regent and killed loyalists. then they marched on there mortal enemy the recaniks. the hallsbergs who were effectually in control did nothing to begin with as they two didnt like the recaniks calling there nothing but rats and pests but when Charles became emperor and crushed the prince of walchendorf he marched his battle hardened army east to deal with the rebellion and put an end to the magaran rebels killing all of the men involved and put there heads on spikes but the appointed there suns as knights and lords. he needed loyalist in magara and allowed then to start an unofficial war with the recanik's.
a nation divided- when the hallsbergs came to power many magarans liked them. many lords benefited from there rule. however others saw then as another royals family who ruled over them from a far off seat. this divided that nobles with the highest and most powerful on the side of the hallsbserg and the smallest opposing them. during the rule of Stephan the mighty he had created an army of black knights from magarans and they went to war against the recanik's and many magaran liked him including the smaller lords. when the empire divided many lords were happy with effectually a nation of there own with there own monarch in the from of Stephan youngest son Charles as emperor of the empire on the dranvan . when the war of the three empires began magara became a war zone with the battle of kingsbane field being fought there. as the empire of the great lake fell into anarchy Charles and his mainly magaran army marched through it and captured Alexandra hallsberg 1st. many of the magaran lords said it would be best to kill her. but Charles would wed her to his son. after the war of the three empires ended Charles entered the imperial capital with his victorious magaran nobles and soldiers. during the reign of his son Issac hallsberg 1st the regency saw a special place in the empire and it was the emperor main power base. however Rasmus hallsberg 1st saw the regency as getting to powerful and clipped its wings by placing heavy tariffs and taxes on trade going out of the regency via the dranavan. he also made his decadent brother Sigmund as regent.
support for the invaders- the 18 years war saw magara lose thousands of its men and yet again become a war zone. the then regent Stephan Hallsberg(person:bef7dd02-7cf5-4d9d-8bfe-3798947b6366) died as the cites garrison lay down there arms. in tetla they declared [the duel monarchy of the isle and verainberg with tetla as the house of olinberg power base. many however including the priest of the old faith/the elven religion supported the hallsbergs and the regent @[Duke Michael Rastov and formed resistance. many of the smaller lords banned together and swore loyalty to the olinbergs. many magaran didn't know what to do. thousands were fighting for the emperor and many more had died. peter rakozi was named leader of the magaran army in the war and lead several units to vicotry. however he was killed shortly before the graveyard of kings and after that battle magaran resistance faltered themselvesexecutednobility
since there integration into the empire magara has prospered. the river running through its capital has done wondered for the local economy. however there has always been a strong scene of nationalism, personal identity and a want for Independence which came to a head during The war of the long winter where the magarans joined on the side of vlad. however they were soundly defeated by the united tsardoms. after the war they were stripped of most of there army and autonomy and were occupied for 50 years.
in the great crisis there troops saw some of the most bloody defeats and it was there troops who faced the famous Ion pasha.
after the may day coup magara was placed under the control of Micheal kaff. there forces have been on his side of the the kaff hallberg war
ethic cleansing of Recaniks
since they joined the empire the magarans had to share a state with a large recanik population in the south. for many years there have been bad blood between the two people groups. the wondering recanik people refuse to pay tax to the lords who's land they travel on and the recaniks want the magaran to leave them alone. this then started an intense racial hatred toward recanik. in 200YBCW the 14th magaran lancers was formed and there goals as well as being a regular army unit there job was to help get ride of the recanik problem. so four 200 year hundreds of thoasands of recaniks have been killed in ethic cleansing. however these haven't went without resistance armed rebellions in the recanik areas of magara but they are bloodily put down.
