International Relations - The Free Land of Bergi Republic

Oblitus Terras was founded on the idea that a nation lives on the idea that a nation exists because of the will of the people and their ability to structure society to function as a single , progressive entity. To attribute to these qualities, the leaders of the young country had to conform realistically to issues that exist at the time. There were always a threat of invasion by the barbaric Yololites that pillaged from the isles spanning an empire covering kingdoms of Lelarus, Fukraine, Horgia, Lazerbaijan, Kasastan, Chima, Nongolia and Southwest Korea. They established the empire of Yolanda with its capital Yololand which covered a significant portion of the land borders for most of modern day Oblitus Terras. The wild seas to the east proved no hope for the aspiring small community for they had no deep sea ships that could traverse it, they turned their attention to a small secluded valley of what would be modern day Læxia, there the expedition met with the trade village of Æva near the delta of the river Ævaln and with the native tribe of Æva.

The second expedition sought to contact these tribes people and to understand their culture, lead by the Wandering Scholars of Oblitus Prohibetur Scientiae, they brought the knowledge of through the Golden Fur Road and it's profitable potential back to home. This ushered in a valuable commodity for Oblitus Terras, as now it stands as a trade port between the maritime civilizations and the agrarian ones. This ushered in another golden age for the region of Oblitus, with the assimilation of both west and east culture allowed for knowledge of trade and seafaring to become widespread. Soon, it became a hub for cultural and political learning, gathering scholars from all parts of the world and investors sought opportunity and set up trading guilds near the country. Oblitus no longer feared the threat of invasion as their understanding of warfare grew , not with their experience with the Yololites but with the technology that came from these distant lands.

As Oblitus , modern day Oblitus Terras had properity that expanded unrivaled that of other nations, this did not sit to well with other kingdoms that grasped very little light of the trade. It was common that small city-states tend to be overlooked by the proto-capitalist economy of the Golden port of the South, they wanted gold mountains , not hills of silver and bronze. In secret, these small countries mustered a task force of espionage agents and formed a puppet village south of Æva, with the idea that they could mine the well of fortune themselves. There, they posed as merchants who sought interest in the trade and gathered intel regarding the people and seemingly blend in with the other traders.

However, since their own capabilities were limited due to the lack of understanding of their culture, they decided to rashly abduct three local children, historically identified to range from ages 12-13. Two girls and one boy were taken away from home and hopefully teach them their own language so they could act as translators in the future. As stated by a Bergian Historian; "One of the girls died on the journey home in a way so horrible that it is not to be mentioned. The boy was killed by one of the merchants two days after arriving in the south during a drunken rage. The second girl survived and quickly learned the tongue of the merchants." News regarding the incident angered The Kingdom of Oblitus as the village, now a growing city-state, contributed a large portion to its economy, they fiddled with the democracy of the states responsible. Slowly, they waited, taking every small detail of those who dare go against it, the Corvidae Family of the Oblitus Terrasian Aristocracy's best agents ticked their time bombs for the perfect opportunity to cripple the unsuspecting fools who are against the ambitions of the family.

With the help of the current Höjvnur of Æva , Aldia Primum of the River People of Ævaln , Terrasian spies unleashed their parasitic nature and decimated the enemies of the Aristoracy. The city-state of Yourway was razed for 14 days by an uncontrollable,black fire ignited by Aldia's incantations. The very beacon of Yourian worship, the Eternal Fire that was never put out for a thousand years engulfed them to this very day. The City of Hell's Gate, was the work of Terrasian Nightblades, agents of the dark arts, and their strong understanding of Aldia's Teachings of Scorching Arcanery. Another enemy of the state,Binland, known for its high skyline mountains near the frosbitten forest crumbled overnight by a terrible calamity hushed in the archives of Terrasian Libraries. The very slopes where their kingdom clinged on was bulged out with the fine frozen crystals that they were famed for. Like auroras of biblical judgment, they sprout out and overturned the city overnight leaving nothing but raw untamed crystals growing on the land of the once great state. The people themselves, horrifyingly disfigured with crystal-bone structures constantly growing within them and rooting them forever at their place. Those who can still walk, became as twisted as the trees of crystals themselves, wandering around aimlessly, hostile to those who don't share their pain. The NightBlades take pride in this, as it was thought to be the fallen Arcanist Trojan's Frozen Masterpiece, a city of endless winters, a testament to Terrasian knowledge of arcanery. Countries like Lestonia and Larvia were lucky, theirs was done with less intervention of things they did not understand. Diplomatic agents from Oblitus sought to befriend their enemies, slowly they fed the countries with lies and deceit. For years, the countries riddled with constant espionage missions against each other, fueled by suspicion thanks to the manipulation of Terrasian insurgency agents. Eventually, Lestonia eroded with a civil war caused by discriminative racial dispute against Larvian immigrants and local conservatives . Larvia saw opportunity in this, seeing their enemies weakened, they sent an invasion force that rivaled those of the civilizations of the West, with their cities and armies bred for war, they never took the time to prevent the backstabbing of their own royals within their walls. Terrasian agents tasked to assassinate the Royal family took to haste and left no survivors heir to the crown. With no one to take control, the nobles took their own claims and fought with what they had. Both empires crumbled outside the walls of each others' cities. The Forgotten Army of Larvia, now turned mercenaries, plague the land fighting wary travelers that dare ask what had happened to their homeland, for they themselves were merely specters of their pasts. Only the north remembers, The Historically Immortal Nation of Oblitus Terras.

Standing proud as ruthless victors, the nation claims a sizable portion of the Island of Atlas as a testament to its brutal past. The Free Land of Bergi Republic has since then been a strong ally of Oblitus Terras, being a vassal for the country. They mutually assure the independence of each other through economic dependency, diplomatic relations and a strong cultural bond that was established thousands of years ago.
