Arya, The Hero King takes control of Vialdara, and renames the country as Fonzia. Ryuushin's ruined castle becomes the groundwork for the city of Fonal, the capital of Fonzia.
All events involving the nation of Fonzia.
Arya, The Hero King takes control of Vialdara, and renames the country as Fonzia. Ryuushin's ruined castle becomes the groundwork for the city of Fonal, the capital of Fonzia.
In face of massive support for Arya and Fonzia, and distaste for the ruling administration of Dulobun, the civil authorities of Dulobun cede their power to the Hero King. The Dulobun territory becomes officially part of Fonzia. Faheem remains independent, but has a good trade relationship with Fonzia and even sends gifts to the Hero King on occasion.
Arya, The Hero King takes Idora as his wife. She becomes Queen of Fonzia.
Arya, The Hero King delegates power in Fonzia to several of his allies in hopes of better running his massive kingdom. After much deliberation, Kraem heads west. Grast heads east to the former Dulobun city of Ogre Run. Paris Heads southwest to Norferry, a major agricultural center.
Idora gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They are named Jugder and Viara.
After battling with an outbreak of Father’s Lament, Jugder Arya succumbs to the disease in the early spring. Viara falls sick as well, but recovers.
Arya comes to the conclusion that the cause of Jugder Arya's death could be attributed to the difficulty in travel for merchants carrying medicines and traders. He institutes a heavy, sweeping tax across his domain to fund a complete overhaul of infrastructure.
Heavy taxation makes the task of Arya's administrators difficult, and causes public resentment that rises with each passing month, particularly in far flung regions of Fonzia.
Unwilling to continue supplying Arya with the taxes of his territory, Kraem sends a messenger to the capital in Stillwater to falsely claim that anticipated payments were intercepted by bandits. Over the summer and into the fall, Kraem forms his discontented populace into an army and slows outgoing trade. All the while, he sends messengers, explaining delays in payment and ignoring exhortations to send the required tax. In Allsgather, he sends a final messenger, armed with a crushing declaration, The Traitor's Scroll. He names the territory Kiulmaa, in honor of a legendary fisherman.
Incensed by The Traitor's Scroll, Arya marshalles his forces and declares war against the rebel forces in the west of Lerulious. Thus begins the Kraemian War of Secession.
As the Kraemian War of Secession begins to drag on, Jarneff Faheem calls for his merchants to reduce foreign trade to Fonzia, as the success of their war becomes ever more unclear.
Capitalizing on the fatigue felt by Fonzia, Grast withdraws his troops from their rearguard position and declares the territory he manages to be Dubria, the sovereign Kingdom, in his message to Arya, The Letter of Secession. This move shocks Arya, The Hero King and his subordinates. As the year is late, Arya does not immediately open hostilities with Grast's territory and soldiers, but begins planning for it all the same.
Jarneff Faheem orders a complete halt to all trade to the western countries of Dubria, Fonzia, and Kiulmaa, citing a desire for political neutrality as the Kraemian War of Secession grows in scope and length. There is relatively little pushback from Dubria, and none from Kiulmaa, but Fonzia sends a messenger to ask that trade be reopened immediately. The request is denied.
Cheri gives birth to Mordecai Braig. Braig is unable to be present for the birth due to his place on the frontlines of the Kraemian War of Secession.
Forced to end campaign season by the winter weather again, Arya, The Hero King dispatches messengers to Dubria and Kiulmaa to declare his recognition of their sovereignty and to request peace. The messages are answered before the year is out and marks an end to the Kraemian War of Secession.
Paris asks Arya, The Hero King to wed him to Schone, a Commander serving under him. He agrees, and the two share a brief ceremony.
Negotiations between Arya, The Hero King and Moralus (acting as an intermediary for Kraem), and Dubria Grast (representing Grast), finally reach the beginnings of trade agreements between Fonzia and the two newly formed nations.
With a significant amount of territory lost following the Kraemian War of Secession, and the Fonzian military worse for the wear, Arya, The Hero King sets about a number of reforms, including changes to his taxation structure and focusing strongly on fortifying his new borders and establishing new roadways between the most important cities, connecting them to smaller villages wherever he is able. Overall, the efforts were broadly met with resignation, and the improvements that came about as a result were generally considered to be worth the investment.
Jarneff Faheem declares war on Dubria in response to their eastern expansion into territory that Faheem claims. Almost immediately, Fonzia withdraws all trade with Dubria. After a year of skirmishes, Grast moves to the front to challenge Jarneff on the field, and gravely wounds him. Faheem eventually delivers a letter of truce to Grast, ceding the disputed lands in exchange for peace. Following the return to peace, trade between Dubria and Fonzia resumes.
Jung Arya, as the crown prince of Fonzia, was expected to take a wife. As his father, Arya, was growing older, Jung was matched with the daughter of one of his father's allies, Maria Braig, and they had a wedding in the early spring.
Argust Arya is born to Maria Braig. He is a strong and healthy child.
Maria Braig gives birth to a second child, this time a girl, Mirth Arya.
Arya, The Hero King steps down as ruler of Fonzia, having made significant and public preparations for this day due to his advanced age and failing health. Jung Arya succeeds him, and accepts his coronation the same day.
Arya passes on following a long struggle with an ailment of the heart. The world mourns his loss, even in Kiulmaa and Dubria.
Following the death of the Hero King, several minor houses begin acting in barely veiled defiance of the crown, and Jung Arya has his authority openly questioned in court.
