Map of Itorunt
We are in a federation with Ibladesh and Yssaria and allied with the Old Rancagua, Sirion, Fontan alliance. We have declared no war on anyone, yet Ubent wanted to wage war on us and has declared so. We are currently fighting our Perdan and Ubent in the south. However, we remain at either nuetral or peace with even those whom we fight with.
History
Itorunt is an ancient realm with a rich history. Unfortunately, we only have relatively recent history. The accounts of our ancient history has been lost to time.
Gopherman's History of Itorunt
This is Itorunt, land of the brave, an ancient realm on the southern sea in the East Island.
Itorunt's history dates back far back to the makings of the first island. While much of its history is lost, there are still those in Itorunt who have survived the worst, the thick and the thin, and if they want, they can tell history of before what I know. My first history of Itorunt was when they were allies with Ibladesh. The realm of Isadril and Ubent were involved (there is better history on the old wiki, and not on this page, but I hope to get it soon). Anyways, this was after Ubent had defeated Perden, and the Ubent empire streched all the way down to Xavax.
However, the realm of Fallangard was created, and a war between Itorunt, and Fallangard was started. TK Jones, questionably the most influential TL in Itorunt's history, made an agreement when he was king that Itorunt would fight a war with Fallangard one on one, with no outside intervetion. Now it was during this long war that I entered the realm (and the game). After months of fighting, a situation developed (and once again, details are not to be found here, but are to be found elsewhere) whereby Ubent attacked Ibladesh for fear of Ibladesh, Itorunt's long time ally, joining in with Itorunt against Fallangard. I think this was because TK had gotten Fallangard to join Itorunt, instead of fight them, but that may have happened after the Ubent attack.
I still remember, the food code was new, and I was a trader, Ibladesh was starving, and due to the primitive food code Ubent won the battle in a matter of days. I could simply not get enough food to Ibladesh in time, and they city's stats dropped like a rock, and Ibladesh was quickly fourced into surrender, and Ubent continued their longstanding tradition of setting up "sister" realms, much like Perden, and Fallangard, where they changed the allances to their side, but left the realm to govern themselves. While this ensures that Ubent will never be destroyed, as their sister realm's actions will never fall on Ubent, the sister realms will eventually come around, as you shall see.
Anyways, Ibladesh turned on Itorunt, and under Ubent's control, attacked. Fallangard joined Itorunt, but Perden and Caligus quickly came to Ubent's aid. With the combined largest fource ever seen on the island, destroyed Fallangard, and striking Isadril, crushed the large fource defending the city.
Fallangard's regons were quickly taken by Ubent, all the way down to Xavax, and Ibladesh picked up Itor Boss and Aeng in the aftermath. TK Jones was seriously wounded, as he led a last frantic charge to Isadril to get to the city before the seige, but was cought one turn too late, and the large army crushed him.
The rulership was up for grabs, and it could have gone to 15 different people, thats how many great TL's that could rule there are, Jabeer, the Nyles, Esprite, Ryandal, Tommy, just to name a few. However the public choice was me, the writer, Gopherman. I remember the day, I was gone for the day, and hadn't logged in for 2 turns, so I log in, and I was shocked!
Anyways, I then started the long uphill battle to save Itorunt from certon destruction. The closest allied realm was Fontan, or Coimbra, it was Itorunt against Caligus, Perden, Ibladesh, and Ubent. They should have finished us off quickly, and next, we never would have lasted, but they didn't. Perden left to go aid Oligarch once again, you can talk to Doc about that one, and Caligus and Ubent were left to retake what was slimmly remaining of Fallangard. However, godly intervention came. A new hero from the west arrived in Isadril, and using the power of the people created a new realm, the realm of Yssaria in the ashes of Isadril. And so began my story of peace, and saving the two realms.
I knew instantly that there was a link between Yssaria and Itorunt, and I vowed to do whatever I could to save the realm from the evil Bethe, tyrrant of Ubent. And I gave a passionate speach, probably (at least I think so) the most important speach in the history of the island, from Itorunt's and mine, point of view. I got Yamajima, the ruler of Perden to vow to protect Yssaria, and not to destroy it, like Bethe and Ubent wanted. Ubent showed who was really incharge, by simply ignoring Perden's wishes. Yamajima relized that there was nothing left for him to do, his council all had family members in Ubent (another think Doc can rant at better then I can), and he simply had no authority. He then resigned from the game, ending that chapter in Perden's involvement with the south.
This then began a near year long battle against Ibladesh. All this time, I spent time trying to convince numerous Ubent, and Ibladesh rulers to sign a peace with Itorunt, through Minerva, Mistress A. (sorry I destroyed that name...), now Mistress A was a great ruler, though she wasn't perminate. She did understand, and started me off on the long road. As for Ubent, just when I convinsed Bethe to swich, he vanished, never to be heard from again. I then worked on Quill? Was it Quill, I cannot remember the order, but eventually it moved to Ioshus. And finally, one of the greatest rulers, just wonderfull, was Sorcha. Understanding, charasmatic, and devoted to our cause, I spent months trying to open her eyes to the truth, Itorunt was not the villan, it was Ubent, who attacked Ibladesh, Itorunt's long time friend. The truth came out, through countless eye witnesses, even through God Thooommaas himself. Anyways, I finally convinced her to work to bring our realms closer, and through the help of Yssaria, who had grown, we joined together, in the Southern Allance, and finally attacked the dictator Ioshus (who OOC is great guy). Ubent quickly fell, and the begged Perden for help, Perden obliged, but not entirely willangly. A new ruler came to Ubent, and he brought sweeping change, and now we fight together against Perden, and Yssaria against Caligus.
We shall be victorious, we have the strength in numbers, and the strength in our hearts. Eleran, I love ya man! Lol, you too Sorcha.
I would also like to remind everyone that Itorunt is the ONLY realm on the ENTIRE East Island that is not offically at war with anyone. We have OK relations with every realm, and we are the most peacefull realm on the island, I like to promote peace, even with our enemies.
Thanks, Gopherman--King of Itorunt
Post-Gopherman History
Itorunt has changed some since Gopherman was wounded and I Emanuel was elected King. In an effort to show Perdan and Ibladesh that Itorunt is serious about or obligations to our ally Ibladesh we have now declared a state of war with Perdan. Ibladesh has consistantly lost battles against our common enemy Perdan. Hopefully things will change for the better or Ibladesh could easily be destroyed or be forced to once again betray us if Sorcha is deposed. We remain strong allies with Yssaria. Itorunt no longer desires to remain peacefull with its enemies and will persecute them with all of its might.
Emanuel--King of Itorunt
This has yet again changed. We remain peaceful. There was a psuedo-rebellion and Emanuel stepped down. TK Jones was re-elected and we were restoring peaceful relations until Ubent declared war on us.
