| Ardian Empire; Establishing Common History | ||||

So, arriving in TIO I had the idea that my nation would consist of people fleeing from an oppressive Ardian civilization across the sea to settle elsewhere. At first I had invented a name for this civilization, but I found that the Ardian Empire - which was described to as an analogue for the Roman Empire - already existed. Considering many of us use the Ardian Empire in our history (I know that Tytor and Rokkenjima do off the top my head, as did Elpidia), I would like to write a history of the Ardian Empire to establish some sort of common background. I do not, however, want to step on any other nation's history or make it inconsistent with an already existent history. Therefore, I would like some help. There's already information in the TIO Timeline I can use, but if any of you have aspects of the Ardian Empire that you imagined then please share that here. This could be anything, like where its geographic boundaries are, what its motives were, what its culture was, or to what extend it spread across Mundus. The only things necessary for my nation's history are that they (1) at one point were a slaving nation, (2) they were polytheistic (or at least pagan in some way), as they oppressed monotheists, and (3) that their language was simply called Ardian, but is comparable to Latin. It could be referred to as Ardian Latin. So, your help is appreciated greatly. I plan on putting this in the History section of the Avakael Library. |

Well, I came up with a few possible maps (which I've attached) for it, though I'm obviously not an expert on it. Anyway, Hypothetical Genius with his Feudal Wars RP is planned to set at least a bit of history, and I've taken the liberty of utilizing it as one of the "Central Powers" in WWI, analogous to the Austro-Hungarian Empire as far as what happened to it afterward is concerned.

Alright, excellent. I think I like you first map the best, though the second would work great as well. | |||

Each one is (supposedly) from a different point in history. The first one is 1301, the second one 1600, and the third 1914, at the beginning of the First World War. If you need me to, I could easily create another one for the year you'd prefer.

Oooooh, I see. Sorry I didn't understand that. The only thing about the second one then is that it slightly conflicts with my nation's history, as it was never a part of the Ardian Empire and one region of it is on the map. I don't want to step on your toes because these are all wonderful, but it if the 1600 could be edited slightly to make it not have that one territory then I would be entirely comfortable using it as the maps for the Ardian Empire. |

I have an idea. So you know how in GJ history there was another empire on the other hemisphere that stretched into GJ? Maybe we can have them have a war as an RP in the other world. |

Woah. I like it.Well, all I really did was borrow a piece of a map Achkaerin had done back in the "Rebuilding the Map" topic, doing a bit of recoloring. It took me literally two seconds to change it. |

The history has been updated above to include Dartfordia in the history, as well as explaining the feudal society to an extent. Tytor, what exactly were you thinking with WWI and the end of the Ardian Empire? For example, who were they fighting, why were they fighting, and what happened after they lost? |

World War I has never been truly defined, even in my own mind. However, I've got a bit of an outline of possibilities:
Seriously, this is just a possibility, something I've made up completely. I suspect we'll need some sort of WWI RP to establish this piece of history. Edited by Tytor, 23rd August 2014 - 12:19 AM.

Could there be mentions of the Noria Empire as well? Originally in Caelidian history the Caelidian people revolted led by the Queen thought of as a demi-god, Noria. The revolution happened around 1750-ish and the empire hardly expanded beyong Caelidia's modern borders. The revolution would leed to a chain of wars with Ardia, resulting in Noria coming out dominant and earning full recognition of it's independence. | |||

Sure, however for world war one I'll extend the life of the Noria Empire to the very end of the war as revolution would pull Noria out of the war a bit early. |

Can you add that the province of Jehudia was conquered by the Ardians in 6 AD, it's people were exiled after a rebellion in 70 AD, and they lost control of the province in the seventh century? | |||
