History
Pre-Southern Union
Lydoneia was originally an avoided area, as the wall of tundra surrounding the taiga was deemed impossible to cross. Eventually, at an unknown date, however, historical record shows that a group of people now called "Pre Lydoneians" eventually ventured in by sea from Lothridge. On this voyage, the Caelistis Isles where also discovered, however no one settled on any of the islands due to the extreme cold. A generation after this discovery, however, the Pre-Lydoneians became a completely seperate people from the Ashinians before them, and the area which is in the modern day ruins of Fort Roberts was forgotten. Some time later, a man by the name of Hat_Crab refounded Fort Roberts and built up the area as the new capital of his nation, The Southern Union.
Establishment of the Southern Union
The nation of Lydoneia was founded as the Southern Union by the before said Hat_Crab with the capital being Fort Roberts as a monarchal society with Hat Crab being the emperor of the country. The young nation faced it's first big obstacle when it found itself bordering Icesteel territory. Icesteel was not happy about the newer claims on the northern rivers, and with the integration of new towns such as Haven and Iskandar.
Growth
The nation, after the annexation of Hanau (modern day Havens Keep) and Haven saw the nations population explode from ~8 players to ~25 players. On top of that, the 2nd Icesteel Empire collapsed, fully legitimizing Lydoneia's claims on Iskandar and southern Icesteel. However, while all this was happening, Crab's capital of Fort Roberts didn't grow and instead became dwarfed by the towns of Haven and Hanau.
Coup
Although the capital of The Southern Union was Fort Roberts, it seemed as though the running of the nation was done from Hanau. Emperor Hat Crab also revoked voting rights in the national assembly from Kithe and Iskandar, leaving not only the people upset with Crab, but also the bureaucrats angry with him as well. Then, on July 18th, 2021, the leaders of Hanau (Aethelmod) and Haven (Aurelius of Haven) threw a coup to overthrow Emperor Crab. The coup was peaceful and successful and some new changes were made. 1. The Southern Union would become a Republic. 2. Emperor Crab would be able to still be a general, but step down as emperor. 3. The capital of the country was changed to Hanau. 4. The nations name would be changed to the Republic of Lydoneia. 5. All towns would get say in the national assembly, and 6. Aethelmod would become prime minister (Although this was more of a symbolic position)
Establishment of the Republic
After Aethelmod took charge of the country, he changed prime minister to make it a symbolic position like a figurehead, and handed all decisions over to the national assembly. The Caelistis Isles, a city formed by Rynnth joined the nation shortly after, quickly becoming a very wealthy trade city with tons of Gold and Iron. The brand new Republic also quickly began to establish good relations with Kogongu and theArcadian Altanate, eventually coming to an alliance. Finally a flag was also chosen for the new country, being a red backround with a trident colored in the national colors.

Regional Culture
Languages
- Lydoneian - The main language of the republic, it is derived from languages of the Northeast of Kogonon, arriving in the Southeast due to trade between the two regions. Lydoneian is spoken in the cities and is much easier to learn from an outsider due to it's simplicity. This version is also the official language of the ROL, being used in official documents like legal code and state records.
- Traditional Lydoneian - Spoken in rural areas mostly southeast and southwest, traditional Lydoneian is much more difficult to learn from outsiders and even to some Lydoneian speakers. Traditional Lydoneian is the closest thing to the original Lydoneian that originated from the Northeast of Kogonon.
- Naeturic - A holy language, spoken only in Haven's Keep by the Lydoneian Republican Guards, and the Naeturis Holy Order. It is said in the Naeturis Scriptures that Josia recieved the language scriptures from the trees, being handed to her on a platter sown of leaves from a thousand worlds, smelling of a sweet berry aroma, with the warmth and love of a million species.
