History

Map of Utlia

Tribal Era

Before the unification and subsequent kingdoms Utlia was shared by scattered groups of semi-nomadic tribes. The largest of these tribes were the Utans, a group who had settled in the northwestern grasslands. The inner mountain range was the most densely packed with tribal groups on the island. The southern tip of Utlia held very few groups, however these groups became some of the most important as much of Utlian culture comes from this region.

Unification

After settling into regions of Utlia, many of the tribes began to amalgamate into larger groups. In the north the Utans merged with smaller neighbors to the east and controlled the island north of where the Balmor river flows, this group became the Eutan Kingdom. It is unknown when the southern tribes began to merge, according to Tinlea-Ut historian Tmyl Srain, the southern groups may have began the merging process before their northern peers however this claim is heavily disputed within the Utlian Historical Society. The southern groups did merge at some point into the Frishens.

The Frishens and the Eutans were by far the most prosperous of the proto-kingdoms in Utlia, with many of the smaller groups falling apart. The two groups were very aware of the other one and had a friendly professional relationship. On 4-7 1102 Wynlid Liamia and Shaen eien, the kings of the Eutan Kingdom and the Frishen Kingdom respectively, met at a site near the Balmor river and signed a declaration of unification, merging the two into one kingdom, known as Utlia. This moment has long been mainly attributed to Wynlid but in recent years, modern Utlian historians have began to recognize the importance of the Frishens in the agreement.

Modern Era and Post Calming

The last heir of Utlia was King Ywylin, who was overthrown by the RGOU, a revolutionary group led by Yyme Braia and Votan. This is considered the start of the modern era by historians and the Utlian government. The RGOU became the Utlian National Defense Force and Yyme became the first Utlian president, with Votan as Lieutenant President. The Yyme upper cabinet at time time was largely composed of former RGOU members and soldiers the president trusted.

On 7-12-16 PC Yyme Braia fell ill and died to Common Mor-Virus. After a lengthy deliberation by the Utlian Nomination Committee, Hia El was chosen as his replacement.

Culture

Utlian culture is heavily based off food, more specifically crustaceans like crab or lobster. In Utlia, many holidays base around feasting and gift giving to family and friends. Fishing and Ranching have been important parts of both economy and recreation in Utlian history.

Religion

Utlian religion is based around the god known as Azzta, who takes the form of a massive Snow Crab. Azzta birthed Utlia as his holy land, where his people would prosper. the religion gained popularity when the first prophet found Azztas Crater, a hole caused by Azztas protection of Utlia from a meteor. in the hole the prophet found a mass of smoking dead crabs. The man then went to his home and preached the word of this miracle

Balmore is the oldest province in Utlia and features the north edge of the Mount Utlia range. Western Balmore is also where Balmor-Ut, a historic city stands. Southwest of Balmore is The capital region, the youngest and smallest province in Utlia. The capital region is mainly the urban area around Tinlea-Ut. East is Mountange with the largest city in Utlia, Orena-Ut. West of Mountange is Direnomut, the least populated province with no major city.
