Nouvelle-Nouvelle-Dorado

= The Kingdom of Dorado. = The Kingdom of Nouvelle-Nouvelle Dorado is located on the utmost Western part on the Continent of Raeren. They are known to be one of the major three native powers on the continent, and having an economy based on literal heaps of gold. Their native religion was Big Wheelism.

The Great Northern Migration.
Around -5000 to -4500, the Drassinids of Southern Raeren had started to centralize their rule and united as a people. Being the first of the Raeren people to have managed to do this, they eventually started conquering more and more land. The Olympians of Central Raeren however, did not fit the category to join the Drassinid Empire and were promptly being massacred. Seeing disaster from a mile away, the remaining Olympians left behind their homes, and fled northwards. Past the mountains, and into the West. For hundreds of years, the Olympians migrated more and more until they had eventually reached the lands that would nowadays be called Dorado, however, they had nowhere else to go, and as the Drassinids came closer, they were eventually incorporated into their empire.

The Rebellion.
Spanning from -800 to -700, the Olympians were subjected to the rule of the Drassinid Empire. For a hundred years, they were outcasts. In the lands of gold and luscious forests, the native peoples had been worked until exhaustion and most of the times even death. Around the year -700, the Olympians rose up in an organized fashion and started an open rebellion against the Empire, managing to secure the most Western part of what would now be called Dorado. The next hundred years would see their rebellion spread slowly across the peninsula.

The Volcanic Eruption.
During the year -600, the massive volcano on Raeren erupted. The massive outburst of smoke and ash severely crippled the Drassinids up in the north, which were already being pushed thing due to the open rebellion of the Olympians. The Ugraevians proclaimed independence and started a rebellion of their own, together with the dwarves of the mountains further down south. The entire northern half of Raeren was now fighting against the Empire. By the year of -400, the Drassinids held no more land up in the north, and fled back down to the south where they would eventually fracture.

Peace in our time.
By the year of -200, the nation of El Dorado would finally enjoy it's liberty and freedom. Headed by King (UNKNOWN) of House (UNKNOWN). The country would see it's economy slowly begin to rise, and the religion of Big Wheelism would see it's status as State Religion.

The Forgotten Times.
During the years of -100 to circa 45, the Kingdom would fail to keep documentation of it's history.

Rotten King Alexander.
The last pure-blooded king of Dorado, Alexander, had led the country into disarray. Failed diplomacy, joining a rotten war (See Uprising of the Dukes of Ugraevia) and not paying attention to the interests of state. The populace was furious, and in a moment of terror, deposed of the monarchy. In it's place would come the House of Xiao. A new king set upon the throne: Kunhang Xiao. Themselves being part Ushenese, they were seen as outsiders, but the populace elected them nontheless.

The Kingdom of Nouvelle-Nouvelle Dorado.
As the House of Xiao was now firmly cemented as true rulers of Dorado, King Kunhang made a major change to the country's system. It's native language would be changed to something akin to modern-day French. It's name chaged to Nouvelle-Nouvelle Dorado, as it would be a third inclination of the country. Cities to be renamed, and a parliament to be established.

This period in time would also see the interventionist attitude of the House of Xiao. They would maintain the balance on the continent by siding with the losing Ugraevia against the dukes, and push for peace talks. Not soon after, a succesful peace conference was held in Dublin, together with a representative of Wermania, signalling future co-operation to come.

The Creation of the Raeren Alliance.
One of the things that the young king Kunhang was adamant about in the peace talks, was that war should never arrive on the continent again. The Raeren people are to be brothers, united in an alliance or union, though with sovereignity to remain to the kings. A defensive pact was agreed upon, and diplomatic nature between the three kingdoms was never better. The idea of a centralized currency and bank was even in the talks, though never finalized due to the pact breaking some time after.

Annexation of Western-Ashem.
As reward for the peace talks and intervention, Dorado was given the western part of the Duchy of Ashem. This would create the basis of the idea of a United Kingdom of Dorado, yet not implemented. To give legitimacy to the Duchy, any heir or heiress apparent to the Throne of Dorado would be crowned Prince (or Princess) of Ashem. The second son of King Kunhang, Loadsamoney, would also be ruler of the duchy for the entirity of Western Ashem's existence as a semi-duchy.

The Vietolian Thorn.
The Firstborn son of King Kunhang, Prince d'Ashem Fluppe I, was not yet married although he was of a ripe age. A ceremony was held to seek available bachelorettes to marry, and Isabella of the House Vietolian was picked out. A marriage ceremony was promptly held in the capital city of Québec, and the two were wed. Only two representatives of foreign houses bestowed gifts upon the married couple, those being House Monkenarian and House Stormbeard.

Tragedy struck however, as the couple could not give birth to any male children. Help of a sorcerer was needed, and Isabella came with a potion to enhance male virility. After three daughters, a son was born: Andronicus (soon to be renamed Baudouin.) But at what cost?

The Death of Fluppe, and the Massacre of Wizards.
As Isabella became pregnant by Fluppe, carrying his male child, disaster struck. Fluppe was sick, and soon after died of a horrible disease. The Princess was also sick, but apparently not that badly. This has led many Anti-Wermanian politicians and populace to deem her to be the true culprit of the death (Historians note: This has also been helped due to Isabella marrying Khavad not a year after Fluppe's death. Dorado and Ugraevian diplomacy had been stooping low for a while.), though this has not been confirmed. King Kunhang, hearing the news of his favourite son having died, flew into grief, though not before ordering a nation wide pogrom against wizards.

The cities were filled with angry mobs. Wizards and so called potion brewers dragged across the streets. Shops lit ablaze, and bodies hung from trees. For two whole months, the nation was almost in an anarchistic state, though an unlikely ally came to calm things down. Prince Loadsamoney.

Illegal Oswean War.
As Khavad married Isabella, thoughts of a war against Oswea were being brought into talks. This idea had been talked about with Dorado as well, but never finalized nor accepted. Ugraevia declared an illegal war against the Christian island-nation, and broke the Raeren Alliance which Dorado had sponsored all those years before. The Mountain dwarves of Khugulihr declared war on the Ugraevians with support from Wermania, and Dorado soon joined in as a third party, alligned with Wermania. As King Kunhang rode off to war with his cavalry, the nation's politics and rule had been left to both Prince Loadsamoney and Prime Minister Joris Bohnson.
