After the fall of Slavongrad, On June 1, IQ33, a disgraced member of Slavongrad, began indiscriminately attacking the citizens of Alathra, using dark magic to fly across the world in mere seconds, to instantly appear in unexpected locations, and to shapeshift into different forms in order to evade banishment by the astral beings which governed the realm. He murdered Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 four times in a row, stealing his armor and using it to assassinate other high-ranking citizens of Alathra. The situation proved to be so desperate, Emperor KnightOfNotch of Ashina, normally a reserved, reclusive ruler, came to spiceymonkey1349's aid, driving away IQ33.
KnightOfNotch's actions helped to alleviate tensions between the Ashina Empire and the FCA, who were wary of Ashina's global dominance. Indeed, after reading the history of the [[Ashina-Lothridge War]] and witnessing Ashina's defiance against
=== Ashina-Vatican War ===
On June 14, Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 and Sir austinzhu were part of the FCA force that attacked Vatican City along with Ashina and Fare-Sesso.

Because of this lack of distinguishing culture, its neighbor and trading partner HighTide managed to develop its own culture centered around the turtles found in the Seastone Isles. Although Uhovians do not typically share the same religious devotion towards turtles as natives of HighTide, they share a general appreciation for the reptiles, having their own native population that occasionally comes to shore to lay eggs.
=== Alchemy ===
Nonetheless, Uhovia's primary cultural claim is the pursuit of alchemy. In fact, its flag is designed after the four stages of the Magnum Opus: ''Nigredo'' (Blackening), ''Albedo'' (Whitening), ''Citrinas'' (Yellowing), and ''Rubedo'' (Reddening). Initially sought after as a moneymaking scheme, alchemy eventually became Uhovia's form of art, with the most talented minds creating masterpieces of tonics, tinctures, and elixirs. Today, alchemy is an art as well as an industry in Uhovia, earning it the respect of its neighbors in the FCA.
=== Architecture ===
From a bird's eye view, Uhovia's layout is highly organized, with streets and buildings placed in straight, geometric patterns. Some architectural landmarks include the Uhovia Lighthouse and the Portside Chessboard, a popular venue with players from all across Alathra.
=== Religion ===
While a significant number of Uhovians are atheistic, most share a rational belief in a "First Causer," a "Maximal Good", or a "Grand Designer." They welcome all other religions, interested in any practical insights that their teachings may hold.
