====== Jhua'nen ====== ===[historical kingdom]=== \\ **Pronunciation**: (ju-ah'NEN)\\ **Continent**: [[Aimsir]]\\ **Present Day Nations**: [[Yuanen]], [[Reithe]], [[Fiadh]], [[Gael]], [[Aeye]], [[Koraha]]\\ **Timeline**: 30.4M BCE - 2M BCE\\ **Coordinates**: 15° N to 66° S, 123° W to 30° W\\ ~~TOC~~ ====History==== Jhua'nen began as an alliance between [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] and [[Kalmar]] shortly after the beginning of the Age of Honor. The assassination of the King of [[Kalmar]] began a trend of division between the great houses of eastern and western [[Aimsir]]. The alliance was seen as a conduit to amass enough military strength to shift the balance of power back towards larger empires, and a reformation of the ancient alliances of western [[Aimsir]] The two nations embarked on an age of conquest, beginning with the invasion of [[Khan'Laheeri]] in the Thousand Year War. [[Kalmar]] would also begin colonization of [[Gael]], where they would encounter and defeat [[Akkaus]] which was also colonizing the continent. Eventually however, the territory would eventually be lost when [[Kal'tael]] would secede from [[Kalmar]] and thus the alliance's collective territory. To the north, [[Sehti|Sehti'taal]] would eventually loose their territories in [[Craic]] when [[Nae'eri]] declared independence These breakaway kingdoms were possible because the alliance was at war with [[Reshk'tar]], and the list of their enemies grew from within as well as from without. Loss of territory in [[Kalmar]] would prompt the formal declaration of the Jhua'nen empire in a power move by [[Sehti|Sehti'taal]] which [[Kalmar]] was unable to thwart. The emperor focused her efforts to the south, breaking through the [[Hitan Bulwark]] and conquering [[hito|Hito'Maru]], a feat which had been deemed impossible. The riches of the Hito province enabled Jhua'nen to build a massive and well equipped army, whose existence only served to polarize the rest of the world against the empire In the end, all other nations were in alliance against Jhua'nen, and this proved enough to halt invasions into what seemed like every single kingdom and province on Terra. The tipping point was the entrance of the [[Baumeni]] into the fighting, an event so rare, it took Jhua'nen's generals completely by surprise After many more years of bitter fighting, the kingdoms of Terra were no closer to a close in the war and the fighting had decimated much of the planet's population. Eventually, an agreement would be made at the Council of Ceilidh, and new boundaries were drafted, and the hostilities ceased. Jhua'nen dropped their title and became [[Yuanen]], which persists to the current day ====Timeline==== * **30.4M BCE**: [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] and [[Kalmar]] form the Jhua'nen Alliance * **27.1M BCE**: [[Khan'Laheeri]] and [[Kalmar]] engage in the Thousand Year War * **24.4M BCE**: [[Kalmar]] founds colonies in present day [[Gael]]'s western coast * **23.3M BCE**: [[hito|Hito'Maru]] builds the [[Hitan Bulwark]] in the [[Faulan Pass]] * **22.6M BCE**: [[Kalmar]] conquests the entire continent of [[Gael]], destroying all [[akkaus|Akkau]] cities * **19.9M BCE**: Kingdom of [[Kal'tael]] secedes from [[Kalmar]] * **18.6M BCE**: [[hito|Hito'Maru]] completes construction of the [[Silken Path]] * **5.9M BCE**: [[hito|Hito'Maru]] colonizes present day [[Fjall]] * **8.8M BCE**: [[Nae'eri]] declares independence from the [[sehti|Sehti'taal empire]] * **7.8M BCE**: [[carragh#Lili Mute]] allies with [[Reshk'tar]] against the [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] * **7.3M BCE**: [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] absorbs [[Kalmar]]'s remaining territory and Jhua'nen is established * **6.9M BCE**: Jhua'nen conquers [[hito|Hito'Maru]] * **6.7M BCE**: [[Fjall]] declares independence from Jhua'nen * **5.9M BCE**: [[Nae'eri]] falls to Jhua'nen conquest * **5.1M BCE**: [[reshk'tar|Reishk'tar]] formally declares war on Jhua'nen * **4.65M BCE**: Jhua'nen conquers [[Akkaus]], scattering the Ulfar across the northern hemisphere * **3.2M BCE**: [[Saor]] removes Jhua'nen colonies and cities from [[Saoirse]] * **2.0M BCE**: Council of Ceilidh ushers in the Age of Balance, Jhua'nen becomes [[Yuanen]]
