Following the Lord of [[Archive:Peachfield|Peachfield]]’s downfall, the lords of the neighboring town of [[Briscoe Ranch (then RAM RANCH) prepared to meet the same fate. After a year of struggle, the men of Peachfield managed to assist the peasants of Briscoe in their own revolt, freeing the town and creating strong ties between the now free settlements.

Six years had passed since the Peachfield Revolution had occurred within the castle’s walls. With the Ashina Fare-Sesso war raging on, [[Archive:Cody29797|Chancellor Cody]] of the [[Archive:F.C.A.|F.C.A.]] (Now [[Archive:Federation of Arith|Federation of Arith]]) pleaded with the now free town’s council to take up arms in the ongoing conflict in order to prevent [[Archive:Ashina (Nation)|Ashina]] from conquering the realm. Alas, the council decided to decline the Chancellor’s request, as a result of the past crimes of the FCA against Peachfield and its inhabitants.

Nevertheless, the war was beneficial to no-one. Joining together with longtime allies at Briscoe Ranch to form a diplomatic union, now called Elyria, they pledged to offer their support to the then-Ashinan town of Lothridge if they were to declare independence from the overbearing nation. [[Archive:Lothridge|Lothridge]] accepted this offer, declaring independence and joining with [[Archive:Fare-Sesso|Fare-Sesso]] in the nation of [[Archive:Acquendavia|Acquendavia]]. Ashina refused to fight their own people, ending the war with an alliance forming between Elyria and Aquendavia.

For many years following the revolution, the Knights of [[Archive:Nevermore Brigade|Nevermore]] refused to recognize the newly freed town’s inhabitants as the New Lords of the land. Once loyal to the Old Lords of Peachfield, the Nevermore Brigade swore fealty to the new nation of Elyria and the Farmers’ Council of Peachfield following the new nation's creation. Following the March on Lyon the Nevermore Brigade peacefully broke away form Elyria, moving south and joining the nation of Southada.

Following the [[Archive:Pultria Crisis|Pultria Crisis]] the island of [[Archive:Petroselenium|Petroselenium]] fell under the control of The Horizon League. The growing nation of Elyria soon entered negotiations with Devox_Runeheart of The Horizon League for the purchase of Petroselenium island. The brutality of the war brought to the island’s shores forced the Petroselenium monks to flee the once sacred land in search of a new home. One such monk by the name of [[Archive:Yoosanghoon|Yusan]] refused to leave. He welcomed Elyrian rule, believing it would bring peace and order to the abandoned island. The Elyrians recognized Yusan as the governor of the new settlement, and with their help he began constructing a great fortress to serve as the first line of defense for his homeland. Abandoning the island’s holy and pacifistic roots, Yusan and the reformed town of [[Archive:Kaer Nevura|Kaer Nevura]] swore allegiance to Elyria, joining the budding nation in its expansion away from its capital. Yusan was granted councilship and quickly rose through the ranks of the Elyrian court to become Grand Maester of Elyria.

Following the declaration of war on New Reno by Acquendavia, an imperialist superpower located on the western continent, the nation of Ashina provided New Reno with significant resources and military forces. Though many councilmen argued against involvement in this conflict, upon learning of the involvement of the Hermit [[Archive:Hargreevs|Hargreevs]] and the nation of Ashina, Councilmen Eiric and Chickenprism joined the war effort, fighting on the front lines at New Reno. Though the initial effort was met with strong resistance and the Acquendavian forces were pushed back to Lothridge, there they were joined by reinforcements consisting of the Elyrians Ralf and Sherman as well as co-king of Acquendavia Ripesack, breathing new life into the weakened soldiers. Eventually, after the defeat of Shalom and Immanotscope at the hands of Sherman and Ralf, along with the felling of Pandamaster by Eiric and the illustrious King grandpa_boob of Acquendavia as well as the retreat of the Hermit, Lothridge was successfully defended by the Acquendavian war effort. Following this victory, the Acquendavian-Elyrian combined forces fought on, pushing the enemies back to New Reno and eventually winning the day in the name of Acquendavia, further deepening the strong alliance between the two nations. Chickenprism notably secured a seat on the council as the Lord Commander of the nation's army after fighting valiantly in the war.
