Northern Doctrine

The Reconstruction (Northern Ivili: Şungokāgo) was a period in Stonish History following the conclusion of the Stonish Wars of Unification. Starting during the reign of Stonish King Ejek Von Stone, it marks the beginning of the nations transition from an isolated, religiously-dominated archipelago to a Southern-Sunadic naval hegemon. Additionally, the Şungokāgo includes the colonization of the Şotīgābon and Mīdlosugā archipelagos, further reinforcing the nations plans for a position as a navally-dominant superpower in the region for the short period of time that it was capable of achieving it.

Construction of the Vedotī Imperial Palace (1236-1243)

Throughout the seven years that it took to construct the imperial palace, a variety of methods were used to compensate for the lack of sufficient human labour. The most notable of these methods was slavery, a practice that has been universally frowned upon within the nation of Flatstone since it's creation in the 1230's. However, this was an exception, as completing the construction of the palace was deemed urgent by Ejek Von Stone, the King of Flatstone at the time of the palace's construction, and at the time there was an abundance of Taverkny and Ou soldiers that had been captured by the Northern Ivili army during the reunification wars. Ejek Von Stone finalized the decision to use slave labour to speed up the process of construction, enlisting upwards of three-hundred prisoners of war to participate in the palace's construction in 1238, two years into the palace's construction. The sacrifice of these men is honored with a memorial that was placed outside of the entrance of the imperial palace for all to see.

Settlements in Şotīgābon (1270-1275)

The first recorded discovery of the Şotīgābon archipelago in Stonish history was in 1270, when Stonish merchants accidentally stumbled upon the island during a voyage to the Neil Canal. However, the first official settlement of the island wouldn't occur until 1273, when Ejek Von Stone funded an expedition to the island that he allowed one of his volunteering officers to supervise. Ejek himself would not arrive in Şotīgābon until 1275, when he would remain on the island for two months before returning to Vedotī. After this, Ejek Von Stone would have little to do with the development of the Stonish colony, as he was preoccupied with the economic recovery of the nation from it's two wars of reunification, as well as Ou settlement of the Mīdlosugā. The islands would be placed under the jurisdiction of Stonish admiral Gert Koch, an officer that had served during the second reunification war, who would remain as the governor until his death in 1291.
