Vacanan Empire

Vacana's Early State

After the First Ecothnic War, King Harald Hundra was the ruler of the kingdom of Vacana and began to develop a close relationship with The Dundell government, which had recently formed. Hundra was a keen supporter of the new government and one of the first kingdoms to put forward a representative. Hundra also brought about an age of reforms in Vacana, offering greater freedoms to the people. Vacana mainly operated off of trade of basic goods, mostly raw metals and sometimes fish, it was a mid sized kingdom which benefited heavily from the Dundell as it was easier to export goods via the great western trade route than ever before. People in Vacana were genrally supportive of the Dundell and King Hundra reinforced this by creating a good relationship with the new government. He was a popular monarch but unfortunately his son, Joedofe Hundra would betray him, and with the return of the Second Dynasty Vacana would quickly rise and fall as a strong power in Ecoth.

Upon the return of The Second Dynasty, Representative Joedofe Hundra would flee to Vacana to escape execution. This brought the Second Dynasty to Vacana, lead by Visko Malow. Joedofe warned Kind Harald Hundra that they would not be able to hold out against the Second Dynasty but Malow forced their hands by laying siege to Vacana City. The elite Vacanan Guard held off the Second Dynasty for several hours but were ultimatly outnumbered. Joedofe fled and King Harald Hudra was killed.

Joedofe Hundra returns

One year after fleeing into exile, Joedofe Hundra returned to Vacana City where he defeated Visko Malow and overthrew the Second Dynasty forces using Cytonknic created in secret. Joedofe's army had been turned entirely into Cytonknic alongside many of Vacana's citizens and Hundra used this to surprise the Dynasty but it would begin a horrific trnd within Joedofe's Vacana which would result in the kingdom being inhabited by no free residents besides Joedofe himself.

Upon kicking the Second Dynasty out of Vacana Joedofe declared himself Lord Joedofe Hundra of the independent Vacanan Empire and vowed to destroy the second Dynasty.

Expansion to neighboring kingdoms

Over the next two years, Hundra would expand his empire by various means. He would firstly ally with other independent kingdoms within the western peninsula such as Dharah. However there were some kingdoms which refused to join him such as Garlacose who wished to remain neuteral. By this point Joedofe Hundra had gone completly mad and he executed the Garlacocian King using The Claw of Darkness, encorparating Garlacose into his teritories.

Joedofe's plan was simple, he wanted to build a wall across the entire western peninsula which would be able to hold off the Second Dynasty. Hundra's wall spread fron Vacana to Phaloh and took two years to build, never being fully completed before the Second Dynasty invaded. It ran through three kingdoms and was the first of its kind, using the mountains in Garlacose as a natural wall. It was a good stratagy but it required Joedofe to be able to build it through the kingdom of Paloh which was ocupied by the Dynasty.

In the year 2, Joedofe invaded Phaloh with an army of Vacanan Guard and Gralacocian soldiers. The combined Paloh and Dynasty force hoped to force Hundra into siege then call for reinforcements but Joedofe used The Claw of Darkness to break down the walls, forcing Phaloh to surender and the Second Dynasty to retreat. Having captured Phaloh Hundra prepared for a Dynasty counter attack on Vacana, and that's exactly what came.
