	Long before the [[~~azuran~~]] faith spead or other great nations noticed an emerging nation there wes a people on another continent living simple lives in loose organization. At one time some of these people were forced to move off their homeland, causing a larger migration period, probably because of war. One larger group later founded [[Landaende]] while the second larger group of people found a giant statue on top of a dead volcano. The people believed this to be a divine sign and prayed to it. The goddess [[Azura]] appeared and the people called themselfes azurians from there on. It was then when the first azurian nation was found.

New page

The history of [[Azurien]] is closely linked to the history of the azurian people and involves two different states named Azurien, whereas the first one was destroyed.

==Rise of a People==
Long before the [[azuran]] faith spead or other great nations noticed an emerging nation there wes a people on another continent living simple lives in loose organization. At one time some of these people were forced to move off their homeland, causing a larger migration period, probably because of war. One larger group later founded [[Landaende]] while the second larger group of people found a giant statue on top of a dead volcano. The people believed this to be a divine sign and prayed to it. The goddess [[Azura]] appeared and the people called themselfes azurians from there on. It was then when the first azurian nation was found.

==First Nation of Azurien==
The newly found nation was mostly characterized by peace and prosperity. Azurians discovered their talent in mining valuable ressources and the volcanic land (some of them more or less active) was fertile. After founding a larger harbor and tradeships trade extended to more than just Landaende. In [[Hasperia]] Azurien was known as that distant nation trading exotic materials, mostly with [[Eisenfelde]], which had a ship in almost every harbor at that time.<br />
Azurien had no influence on the political events that were defining Hasperia at that time.

==Fire and Chains==
In 820 [[Timeline|AIC]] the volcano on which the statue of Azura stood and azurians build their capital erupted, probably causing other volcanos in that area to erupt whereby most of the land was covered in fire or ash making it uninhabitable. Only those lucky enough to live near the coastlines or were a sea at that time were able to flee the land.<br />
The fleet of refugees came to the westcoast of Hasperia. Unfortunately they came to the sphere of influence of [[Izalith of the Falmoreal Valley|Izalith]] and [[Whitegold]], which were slavers cities back then. Azurians were not able to make a stand at that point and found themselfes as slaves for the next decades.<br />
Izalith was very involved in trade with [[Vineta]], but tensions rose when Vineta was less and less competitive due to the cheap slave workers. When azurians (alongside with other slaves) rebelled against their slavemasters in 880 AIC they were supported by [[Lonien]]. The rebellion quickly spread across the land and also reached Whitegold.<br />
At the end azurians founded Azurien again, which technically is the second one, although azurians don't see it that way.

==The new Azurien==
Although most of the people still lived in Izalith and Whitegold, the new capital [[Tel Aldnium]] was founded and it began the construction of a new statue of Azura. The new state of Azurien focused on defense and trade at the time, rebuilding old fortresses at the mountain passes and starting new ones at the coastline. WIth their expertise in mining they quickly became an important trade partner for the surrounding nations. After establishing a stable society, Azurien focused more on naval power. Foreign policy was characterized by condemnent of any kind of suppression leading to a heavy involvment in the [[Silvetian Revolution]].

Today Azurien is the major power in the eastern sea with an influence that reaches from [[Greifenhausen]] to the [[Spice Islands]] and maintains diplomatic ties to many other nations.
