The Third Empire of Averius, also known as Averius, is a region in Southwest Ardentia, located over the equator of Kalrania, is home to five political regions. It directly borders the countries of Eleutheria, Anheldac, and Arousonac, and shares the Magnumare sea with Cenagrad, Aquitinia, and Anheldac.
Etymology
Averius as a nation name comes from the name of the Emperor Felix Averius, the First Emperor. The Averius Dynasty's dominance of the Empire lead to the name of the dynasty becoming the name of the Empire.
Averius is a byproduct of its history and culture, having formed in the area of the Ardentian Empire which spanned the conntinent in ancient times.
History
For more detail, see Averius History.
Tribal Era (5000 - 1700 BIE)
Ardentian Era (1700 - 700 BIE)
For more detail, see Ardentian Empire.
Feudal Era (700 - 0 BIE)
When the Ardentian Empire fell, the kingdoms of Foxia, Wolvenia, Aquarius, and The Vale were formed. These kingdoms were split in accordance to the species that inhabit them.
The Great War
For more information, see Great War
The Great War occurred when the genocidal human nation attacked the Kingdoms of Foxia, Aquarius, and Wolfenia. During this war, non-humans were hunted down and killed by the humans of the human nation. This lead to the Great Compact, unifying all the non-human nations under a single banner.
The Great Compact had three primary terms. The first term created the position of 'Imperator' to command the joined militaries of the nations. The second term required the subjugation of the human nation. The third term required a future meeting after the war to discuss the future.
The war lasted for twenty-five years, about 8 million casualties occurred, with the human nation going from a population of 5 million humans to a mere 50,000.
Era of Peace (0 - 550 IE)
After the War, the Charter of the First Averius Empire was formed, with the three non-human kingdoms uniting under the new empire, as well as the devastated human nation that was downgraded to the status of a principality.
The former human nation, now called the Principality of the Vale, was left destitute and broken, with Londinium in ruins and barely any population to fix the Vale. Of post-war 50,000 population, only 10,000 lived in Londinium, while the rest lived in nomadic tribes.
The calendar was reset to Year 0 being the year that the war ended. It was not until about Year 500 of the Imperial Calendar that the Principality of the Vale was a sustainable feudal society again, as the nomadic tribes finally set up new feudal societies and fiefdoms. The lack of progress in the Vale did lead to most of the Vale being vastly behind the rest of the Empire in development.
Industrial Revolution (550 - 650 IE)
Averius began its industrial revolution in the Year 550 of the Imperial Calendar. It started with the introduction of industrial machinery in the textile industry. Around the same time, the industrial manufacturing of iron was introduced.
By the Year 600, the industrial use of steam power was common place. Industrial production of tools was also introduced. Industrial production of chemicals was also prevalent by the Year 600.
By the Year 625, industrial production of gas lighting, concrete, glass, and paper-making were wide-spread. Agriculture also became industrialized by this year.
By the Year 650, modes of public transportation became industrialized. Such transportation includes the widespread introduction of the steam engine locomotive and steam boats. The Imperial Railway was built to connect all of the non-human fiefdoms, as well as Londinium.
By the end of the Industrial Revolution, roadway construction and building construction was industrialized. The Imperial Roads were built connecting the empire together.
Civil War
For more information, see Civil War
In the Year 650 of the Imperial Calendar, the Empire fell into Civil War, as a powerful Guild system controlled the Empire's economy and industry, while the Nobility wanted to gain more power. The Civil War lasted until 660.
The Emperor was a relatively neutral party at the beginning of the war as Emperor Felix the fifth, neither wanted the nobles to gain power, nor the Guilds to assume full control. Both sides left the Emperor relatively alone during the start of the war, as both sides figured they could take out the Emperor and install a new one once the other faction is pacified. The Nobility knew the Emperor's military might would take too much of their sworn soldiers away from fighting the Guilds, while the Guilds knew that the Emperor still controlled the only mints and the largest bank in the Empire.
In the Year 655 of the Imperial Calendar, both sides of the civil war have seemingly lost too much money and manpower to continue the war. The Emperor then took his massive division of soldiers and took the strongholds of each faction on the same day. The next five years involved the implementation of trench warfare, slowing down the progress of the civil war immensely.
The Second Imperial Charter was signed on the Summer Solstice of the Year 660.
Second Empire Era (660 - 810 IE)
The Second Empire of Averius began in the Year 660 of the Imperial Calendar. This new version of the Empire placed much more power in the Emperor and the local people, while reducing the power of the nobility to that of Governors and legislatures. This time was mostly a time of peace.
Third Empire Era (810 - Present IE)
This new era of history began with the coronation of Alexander Averius as 41st Emperor of the Empire of Averius
Geography
The Empire's vast biozones compromise of the Highlands, Lowlands, and the Vale.
The Highlands in the north is a heavily forested high-altitude area of the Empire, with many lakes and valleys. The Lowlands is the area between the Highlands and the Vale, characterized by heavily forested flatlands at low altitudes. The Vale is the southern valley that starts as a plains area with fertile farmland and rises up into a tall mountain range. On the other side of that mountain range is a river that consists of most of the southern border of the nation.
The Empire's border with Eleutheria is an area of flat plains and fertile farmland between the southern river and the river that makes up the eastern border with that nation.
