History

pre history and post modern age

Early Daunlaund began with the original cheiftons that settled in and around the Lihonè River. The first city of Daunlaund and its modern capital Ronicon was founded at this time by the great king Ulípolí The Wise who is still a symbol of the city to this day. A decade later the cheifton of Daun and its main settlement thr city of Daun was founded. The cheifton of Daun quickly grew and conquered mosf of modern day west Daunlaund where as thd ceheifton of Ronicon absorbed the cheifton of Heliris.

The largest conflict in this period was the Great Southern War. This was around 72 AD and by this time minor cheiftons such as Ralta had fallen by this time and the main three that remained were Ereckia, Daun and Ronicon. The Great Southern War lasted for two years and was fought between Ronicon and the ither two cheiftons who formed an allegiance agsinst it. At this time the Ereckians began to use soldiers called Louskretta which have become the infamous warriors and symbols of Ereckia. Daun and Ereckia defeated Ronicon. Daunlaund was united for thd first time under the crown of Herra and King Uílssa I.

The Drechè Empire

In the year 76 AD The King of newly unified Daunlaund and The King of Havadar singned a treaty at the border town of Drechè, this treaty unified the two crowns. For the next three hundred years the empire which has come to be known as The Drechè Empire due to where it was signed was extremely advanced for its time in the fact that thd Daunlaundic and Havadarian kingdoms operated as two seperate countries within the empire. The military might of The Empure saw Daunlaundic territory expand rapidly into what are now the provinces of Vask, Ventroven and Èsztlùew. There was an eventual schism between the crowns of Daunlaund snd Havadar in 1000 which would lead to the empire's collapse a decade later. Daunlaund and its army fought hard to keep and ebentually secure its territory that it had gained during the Drèche Empire.

Early Imperial Age

Daunlaund started to build its influence in the region. This really came to ahead with Petrov I who pumped an incredible amount of money into the town of Ferúston and its port in the year 1490, along with this new port came a huge royal grant to build a large fleet. Wood was taken primarily from the Vask province and with this new navy Daunlaund began to spread its influence setting up ports all over North and South Utopia. There were significant conflicts in places such as Berantoba as the Daunlaundic Empire took a foothold in the far north.

There too was conflict with West Ankara over the Southern ports which today make up The Republic of Southern Merchants, Ankara was not impressed by Daunlaund's interference in the Ankaran Sea. In the new city of Doraví (The modern capital of the RSM) Ankaran ships landed at ghe port and proceeded to burn the city's buildings killing thirty people. Petrov was so angered by this that he had a fleet of reinforcement to secure the sea around Doraví. The following battles would go on for months as the Daunlaundic state sunk trememdous amounts of money into it's navy to help fight the Ankarans. Despite this Daunlaund was loosing men and ships rapidly. In an effort not to loose its grip in the Ankaran Sea completely Petrov orginised a meeting between himself and The Ankaran head of state. They agreed to share the ports as long as the Daunlaundic navy sailed no closer to Ankara.
