Asendavian Military

The Asendavian Military, currently headed by Ivan Harstad, has been the military of Asendavia throughout its whole history. While it may have not seen as many foreign battles and wars, they have seen many internal ones. The most recent use of the Asendavian Military was in the war between the SEPC and the Fire Pact, although only the Air Force and the Navy truly had any action in it. The Military is centered in Fort Tungrad, which is to the north of Stromharad and south Of Khiyev. It is also the largest fort in Asendavia. The Military has three main branches:

• The Royal Asendavian Army
• The Royal Asendavian Navy
• The Royal Asendavian Air Fleet

Government

The government is headed by the Kaiser. There is also a group known as the Jade Synod, which advises the Kaiser. While lords may make whatever laws, taxes, and the such that they want, the Kaiser may force them to change it. The laws and taxes that the Kaiser makes are to be followed throughout the Empire.

The Jade Synod

The Jade Synod, as mentioned earlier, is a group which advises the Kaiser. The Jade Synod is made up of 10 members and the Kaiser. The position is hereditary and only the original 11 dynasties may hold a position on it. The Jade Synod can only advise however, they can't make laws.

The Jade Nudo

The Jade Nudo is the currency of Asendavia. The Jade Nudo originally dates back to Gliat Shea. Before Asendavia was formed, it was just called the Nudo. However, it became the Jade Nudo when jade was added to the coins in small amounts. Jade was later removed from the coins in an effort to save the jade for better purposes such as trade. The name still stuck however.

There are 11 values that are still used as opposed to the original 13.

History

Old Asendavia

Not much is known about the area of Asendavia before the Asendavians came to it. Some primitive tools and structures have been found east of the Ademarite range, confirming that natives inhabited the area. However, these structures and artifacts are few and far between, suggesting that the area was sparsely populated. West of the Ademarite range, primitive structures and artifacts are more prevalent. What is known about the natives however, is that they lived in agrarian communities and herded animals. However, the people east of the Ademarite Range died out around 60 years before the first City-States were established by nobles exiled from Gliat Shea.

The Asendavian City-States

According to personal accounts, the first settlers in Asendavia came from Gliat Shea. These first settlers began to trickle into what is now Asendavia in the year 736 AA. Shortly after however, settlers began to flood out of Gliat Shea to begin the long journey towards Asendavia after hearing of the wealth to be had in the east. By the year 780 AA, these communities had become full fledged city-states, dotting the Asendavian east coast and country side. In 864 AA, the ruling monarch of Stromharad, Adelar Harstad, claimed dominion over the city-states around Stromharad, claiming to be descended from Ademar. By the time of his death in 908 AA at the age of 68, he had conquered most of southern Asendavia. His son, Hjalmar Harstad, completed the conquest of southern Asendavia by 923 AA. Now styling himself as King of Stromharad, Hjalmar turned his eyes to the north. Hjalmar's first conquest outside of southern Asendavia was the island of Yoria in the year 927 AA. Hjalmar Harstad died four years at the age of 49, shortly after instituting a reform of the army. By this time, the remaining city-states had been conquered by the three kingdoms.

Medieval Asendavia

Beginning in 931 AA and ending in 1479 AA, Asendavia's medieval period covered the three kingdoms and the rise of the Kingdom of Asendavia. In 931 AA, the newly-crowned King of Stromharad, Ademar Harstad, declared war against the weaker Kingdom of Tungrad, seeing an opportunity to benefit from their decline. Threatened by this, and wanting the Kingdom of Tungrad for himself, the king of Zhelelovka declared war against the Kingdom of Stromharad and the Kingdom of Tungrad. This would be the start of the war now known as the War of the Kingdoms, which would last for almost all of the Asendavian medieval period. However, it was more of a series of wars than one single war. Notable battles of the war include the Battle of Fagergrund, which was fought in the town of the same between all three kingdoms and is known as the most deadly battle in medieval Asendavia, the Battle of Brekstrand, where the Kingdom of Zhelelovka attempted to invade Yoria and failed, and the Battle of Skoggrund, where the king of Stromharad at the time slew the king of Tungrad and his heir.
The turning point of the war was the Battle of Skoggrund in 1381 AA, which resulted in the destruction of the ruling dynasty of Tungrad. After the battle ended, a peace was signed between the two remaining kingdoms which resulted in the Kingdom of Tungrad being split between Stromharad and Zhelelovka. The peace lasted for 50 years, before the Kingdom of Zhelelovka invaded and the war started up again. However, the Kingdom of Zhelelovka had severely underestimated the Kingdom of Stromharad. During the peace, wary of Zhelelovka, the Kingdom of Stromharad spent it's time expanding the army. The war went quickly, with the army of Stromharad crushing the army of Zhelelovka in the Battle of Helsingsund. With the Kingdom of Stromharad's army quickly approaching, the King of Zhelelovka realized he couldn't win the war and he bent the knee to the King of Stromharad at the time, Jon Harstad II, in 1432 AA. With all three kingdoms united, King Jon Harstad II proclaimed himself the King of Asendavia on May 6th, 1432. His coronation as King of Asendavia was held two days later on May 8th. During the last 47 years of the medieval Asendavian period, the Kingdom of Asendavia expanded northeast to the island of Khiyev, east to the Halmkil island chain, and northwest to the Finlanda archipelago.
