Ash Sea Islands
Ash Sea Islands
One of the original realms of Atamara, ASI has a long, rich history. Origninally a Republic, ASI now governs itself as a Monarchy. Recently, ASI bested Tara in a long War, which ended with the eventual acquistion of two of the Tarans Cities, one of which was their former Capital, Aja.
Loyalty, and honor are the most important things to our realm. We hear and respect everyones opinion. All troop leaders are treated as Nobles and we expect them to act as ones in return. The realm stresses obedience to orders which are rarely given.
This realm roleplays, and expects it.

The Story of ASI
ASI was founded back in the first days of Atamara. It was an Empire that controlled the regions from Riverholm to Barnlure. The first King was Silver Stone. Our lands were of high strategic importance and keeping them proved to be difficult.
The First Major War
At some point, for reasaons unknown, Abington attacked ASI and the downfall began. ASI was attacked from many other realms and was forced to surrender after loosing all of it's Islands. However we kept; Ser’quea, Mapo, Jauchu, Inxi, Lerss and Hegado. Silver Stone was forced to immigrate to the New World and the General, Talius Sargeras took over. Our realm stayed in peace for a long time after that and we were unable to reclaim the lands we had lost. During this time we were in between two great alliances. These were the:
North Alliance: Cagilan Empire - Carelia - Darka - Eston - Tara - Talerium
South Alliance: Abington - Callaway II - Lamar - Redspan
The NA and the SA were at war. Talius Sargeras chose to not get involved. We were strategically placed in between Tara and Abington and served as the only entrance between either of them. Both alliances wanted us to join their side but both also wanted to see us out of their way. We managed to survive by mostly trading and watching the huge battles on our realms borders.
ASI on the Offensive
After sometime Southasland attacked us and a long-lasting war started. No one gained anything in the beginning but we were both very passionate to win. At that point a new General arrived, Jorel of Kent, and our war started to go better. A new ally appeared, Norland, who brought many troops to our aid and assisted us in gaining new lands. Southasland hired Darka's services and suddenly looters appeared in our lands. After sometime the Barony of Makar came to loot Southasland and the war was balanced once again. Numerous battles took place, mostly for the control of Mapo. ASI was at a strategic disadvantage as it had no archers and couldn't build recruitment centers back then. Regardless no one could gain and edge and say that they would win the war. Falasan eventually came to help but it was hopeless. Both ASI and Southasland where fighting hard. Finally both sides agreed to sign a Peace treaty and there where talks for merging the realms together. After a period of peacetime we joined an Alliance that seemed to be the best for our realms.
ASI now had a new King, Lelnor, and we decided to attack Redspan in revenge since they had looted our lands during our great war with Abington. It turned out to be a disaster. ASI wasn't ready for a war and in the Battle of Ambermel we lost and our King died a Heroic death. It was a sad, sad day for our realm. Lelnor had been among us for years and was respected by most of the Noblility. In light of Lelnors death, ASI ended the war and had to reconsider all diplomatic relations. Venom now took the throne.
Later, Drago came to the throne of Abington and a new era begun for the relations between ASI and Abbington. A hard diplomacy started so that ASI could take their old capital (Ash'rily) back and some of the Islands in order to restore the meaning behind our name. A "war" started and we gratefully took Veshin, Yacon and Ash’rily.
After that ASI was capable to enter a war and defend its self. Tara was our target and Southasland was already hitting them in need of lands to feed their city. We went to help our ally and things where going very well until old Tuchanon II players took over Southasland and reformed the government into Tuchanon III with Tara’s support.
Our new ally and beloved friend was lost and a new tyrant took to the throne in Tucha. Many nobles from Southasland joined us seeking help to kill the rebels. The allies gathered quickly (Falasan, Minas Ithil, Norland and the Barony of Makar) and soon "Southasland" was destroyed with the majority of their lands going to Falasan. Venom stepped down, since he was no longer able to follow the facts flying around and Talius Sargeras came back to power.
ASI was already hurting Tara and successfully managed to keep Darka away while others in the alliance began their takeover of Tucha. It was an uneven war with Tara having a far greater income than what we could command, but the superiority of our army was proved time and time again throughout our war. Abbington came down from their lands to help against the Tarans but forces from the Cagilan Empire appeared with looting intentions. We lost a major battle in Inxi that put all members of the ASI Council, except the General, Sir Doc's Revenge, in Cagilan Jail cells. Elections took place a couple of days later and luckily, Nautilus had managed to escape jail in time to emerge blinking into victory. Thus a new council was formed, with Nautilus as the new king and Doc's Revenge retained his position as general due to his excellent work in the post.
Talks with Redspan began shortly after Nautilus got used to his new throne and while the war with Tara raged out an agreement for peace between ASI and Redspan was hammered out. Now Tara was falling fast. The Taran armies fled in fear as we marched across their lands. Rogeshore, Byblack, Jagla and Tichi all switched alleigances to us quickly. When we eventually began the takeover of Sullenport, one of Tara's prized Cities, the Duke Surrendered in a testament to the sheer hopelessness of the Taran war effort. In the end Tara was forced to accept peace or risk loosing the right to it's very existence. In order to give them Peace we asked for and received Aja, the former Taran Capital. The War was finally over, and ASI had Won!
Recent Events
In a gesture of friendship, ASI rebuilt the broken City of Sullenport and handed over soverignty to Redspan.
In celebration of the Peace in ASI and the successful War against Tara, we have now invited all the Nobles of Atamara to join us in a great tournament of Swordsmanship and Joust! We hope that it shall be the biggest tournament ever yet known on Atamara. The Grand Prize for both torunament events is a pot of 800 Gold! With outrageous prices like that, you can barely afford to miss such an extravagant social event!
213 Nobles from all realms joined the party.
Final in Swordfighting:
Night Elf -beats- Shaun
Final in Jousting:
Gregor-beats-Hakki
Congratulations to all that took part and to these four that got the prizes!
A new war of Honour and a Restoration of History
ASI has been provoked by Abington to a war for the rest of the Ash Sea Islands. Once an ally, now an enemy, that brings ASI to where it was 3 years ago. Abington and Tara have attacked simultaneously, but for different reasons. We come to fullfil the wishes of our history by claiming our Ancient Lands. Woright and Worav are what ASI wants. Weak neighbours that can be controlled is what Abington wants.
Who will win? Will history be repeated as a joke? Only time will tell...
