Many clans with complex strings of alliances stuck in constant war. The High Priest calls all familial heads to the temple to compete in trial after vision from The Dragon saying that he has chosen one of them to rule. When one is chosen their allies rally behind them and conquer the clans that resisted. In following centuries the ruling family became more entrenched, eventually reaching their untouchable status in the modern day. Due to limited reach and view of the world their scientific understanding is patchy with religion filling in the gaps and largely being viewed as distinct from science. Since the industrial revolution some of the clans have started to move to a more secular view of the world with many other clans becoming more religious in response. They are in a heated rivalry that many fear could break into a civil war at any moment.

The Dragon was the first being, he flew for 7 eternities above the endless skies. After 7 eternities of flying the dragon grew weary of his endless journey. The Dragon rooted down and became a tree to rest his body and mind. After 12 Eternities of rest another being came into existence, the enemy. Upon encountering The Dragon, the enemy and the Dragon got into a fight. The battle was legendary with the many leafy limbs of the Dragon all wielding swords to fight off the enemy’s attacks. The results of this battle are unclear, but in the fighting the dragon’s wings began to beat so quickly that they brought about an unending storm. The storm caused some of the limbs of the tree to fall off becoming the 13 islands (6 great, 7 lesser). The Dragon wasn’t slain as evidenced by his twin eyes still watching over the world from above (sun and sun-like weather phenomena). The enemy is still thought to be out there which is why the dragon hasn’t stopped beating his wings. The ancient ancestors of the Siufotur settled on the greatest of the limbs and became The Dragon's chosen people. The temple to the dragon is in the capital city, the priesthood of the dragon is very secretive and highly respected. They only intervene in the affairs of laymen when they feel the events are “disrupting The Dragon’s focus.” They haven’t done so since the Emperor was chosen for them at the end of the Age of Conflict. After the calming of the seas the younger eye of the dragon broke and shattered into near uncountable pieces causing a split between the clans with some believing that the dragon defeated the enemy while the others felt the dragon was wounded in it's fight.

History

Pre-calming

Many of the human clans were stuck in constant state of war. During this time period monsters were a common sight across the land and death was considered a mercy by some. The various non-human groups were often caught between the monsters and the clan's wars and it is thought that many of them were wiped out. The period came to an end when the reclusive Dvergur sent out a small number of their elder mages to put an end to ceaseless wars of the clans. The subjugation was a bloody and brutal affair but eventually the might of the Dvergur's magic won out and they crowned one of their own as Emperor and founded Clan Kalifen, they have ruled the island unopposed up until shortly after the storm cleared.

Civil war

The many thousand years of peace under their rule came to an end when several of the clans rebelled believing that the Dvergur blood in the royal family was diluted enough that they had a chance at self rule. The war began on 14-3 1 PC when the Emperor Olaf Fredradaughter and their family were assassinated leaving the throne empty and with no clear line of succession. On 1-5 1 PC the Nation of Niueyjar cut all contact with the outside war. The civil war was a brutal affair that eventually came to an end when Vidar Astridson of Clan Erak was slain using missiles that the rebels had supplied with by the Eastern Bloc. Following his death the young Dvergur, named Heidr Gullveigdaughter, whom he had planned to place on the throne finished off the remaining rebels with a small faction of her people who had chosen to come with her to the surface. She was shortly after crowned Empress Heidr Gullveigdaughter of Clan Kalifen. Her reign was short lived however as seeing the precarious position her rule was in she reorganized the Nation of Niueyjar into the Confederated Nation of Niueyjar with the help of the non-humans on the island. She stepped down from her seat as empress and took up the mantle of Council Chairman as the Ruling Council's sole unelected member.

Post-civil war

On 15-8 6 PC the Nation of Niueyjar invited foreign companies into Niueyjar to help in the rebuilding process.

Establishment of the CNN

In 7 PC the Nation of Niueyjar began the process of integrating the various sentient species of their island into their government.

On 10-3 7 PC, the Nation of Niueyjar entered into talks with the Ninph tribes, with Heidr Gullveigdaughter meeting with the Council of the Ninph on 13-3.

On 19-8 7 PC, the Nation of Niueyjar began negotiations with the Krond to pay reparation for the thousands of years of attempted genocide in an attempt to normalize relations.

The proscess of integration ended on 8-11 7 PC with the establishment of the Confederated Nation of Niueyjar.

Niueyjar is a truly magical island, with witches, wizards, monsters of legend, and a wide array of unique intelligent peoples who inhabit the island and it's surrounding waters. The prevalence of magic has caused scientific understanding to lag behind in a variety of sectors leading to a strange mix of rational beliefs and those derived from the expansive folklore of the island.
