History

Mitrona around 1522.

The Beginning of Mitrona

Coming to a brand new landscape, the Azari’cerr were gifted the entirety of Myln Arbor. Their Father, Kharash, who represents everything powerful. As Kharash gave this section to the ‘Cerr, came a deal. The wood elven race must always protect the Forest and the nation they build within it. And if this were to stay true, Kharash himself would keep supporting the Azari’cerr. This is why there are many twists and turns within the Arbor. Many mystical, and dangerous, creatures are exclusive to the land to protect the Azari’cerr and lend them wisdom. As their nature is to be vicious, it is a better idea to believe every outsider is dangerous than to accept all of them. Thereafter, the ‘Cerr began building upon the land they were given. They required no other help from their fellow Azari and used the resources from the Forest as Kharash intended. Soon after building what they believed to be homes, celebrations began. The Azari’cerr focused on their protection after all was settled and swore not to get involved with foreign affairs as that is where Kharash would not protect them.

The Rotting Plague

For a few hundred years, all was peaceful within Myln Arbor. The Azari’cerr found peace within this nestled part of Eden and it seemed as though the rest of Eseron understood to not bother them. At this point, the ‘Cerr have advanced since the beginning of their time, but not past their neighbors. As a regular warrior scout was conducted, in the distance was a strange sighting. On the edges to the East of the Forest, like a ring, were thickened and compacted spots of decay. It was a strange sight. But something the Azari’cerr didn’t give another thought to. Decay could be inevitable in the natural cycle of the Forest, and it was perhaps just another test by Kharash to test the ‘Cerr’s loyalty to the Arbor. So they stayed and chose to not worry about it. This was, until, two years later. Circa the years between 1506 through 1511, The Rotting Plague, as they deemed it, spread throughout the Forest. Starting from the east, they had deeply wondered where it had come from. Though the Azari’cerr had never truly found out why, scholars theorize it had been due to The Rat being out of turn, thus a voidal realm attack. As another expedition was sent out to find out the meaning of this plague that killed the wildlife and flora, they spotted something in the distance. Short, humanoid creatures with curled horns, axes, and swords. Fear had immediately sparked in the eyes of the Azari’cerr. To them, this is exactly what Kharash had been training them for. To serve and protect their Forest. Immediately, the warriors had lunged and attacked these attackers of the Forest.

The Fall of Nous

With a closer look, it was evident. These were no elves. It was something entirely new to the wood elves. Humanoids with horns and painted skin. It was a strange sight. Though, in near cold blood, they had slaughtered these threats. Fueled by the Azari’cerr wrath, gifted by Kharash himself, they set out to follow the footprints in the depths of the night. The benefits for the ‘Cerr proved more useful than the consequences. As these tieflings had seemingly brought forth a plague to their kind, it was only fair to them to take what they wanted. When the wood elves found their home in the crevice of Eden, it was clear to see how lively they lived while the Azari’cerr had suffered through this apparent plague. Throughout the night, they had pillaged their home. They stole livestock, and plants, and killed the tieflings they found. Blood seeped into the ravine the tieflings called home. The tents they had worked hard to put up and their colorful banners were all torn. Very few survived, and the ones that did immediately fled with nothing but the clothes on their back. The Azari’cerr went back home with just enough resources to keep them alive and waited for the plague to solve itself.

Mythanthar’s Reign

Years later, the dust had settled. And the Azari’cerr felt stronger than ever. Came forth in the year 1521 to 1526, Mythanthar Vidarr had begun his reign. A young, though strong, wood-elven man who worked hard to contribute to where Mitrona is as a nation today. Throughout his time came multiple trivial tasks and hardships, though with true Azari’cerr strength, he helped the subjects of Mitrona to endure anything. During the short five years, Vidarr had built Salus Limin, the countryside of the nation. He was the first to make the circus from two tiefling performers. The Khari’cerr had conquered The Dragon Isles, which is now Luminion’s, and The Kanok Branch, now known as Sunscape. He strengthened the bond between Luminon and Mitrona singlehandedly, making them a true force to never be messed with.

The young man, after making Mitrona successful, had felt as though he never got to enjoy his youth. This is when he took a break from Khari’cerr, stepping down. Then came Solana Faesatra and Hesperas Andut to take the position together. Though, unfortunately, they had not met up to the expectations. Luminion demanded that Mythanthar be back on the throne. This is where Vidarr had come back until the year 1534. And which he enacted a succession tournament. During this tournament, a ‘Cerr named Aedan Pineblossom, who was previously Tri’cilus, took the throne. Seeing the other choices, this was indeed the best option. Aedan did not reign for long, nor was it memorable for most. In the year 1540, Aedan Pineblossom stepped down. Then came possibly the most notable era of Mitrona by far.

The First, and Only, Tiefling Khari’cerr

Jolie Elaine Lovell is a name many have heard throughout the east of the spine. A wild, though ferocious, tiefling who wears a deep red paint. The Khari’cerr had grown up in a deeply secluded area in the depths of Anjyarr, then moved away at fifteen from her four siblings. In the year of 1536, she had stumbled upon Mitrona. And immediately, the small woman fell in love with it. The culture of the Azari’cerr was beautiful– from what she could see. And the first day she visited, she swore under the citizen oath. Elaine had immediately gone to work within the nation. From librarian, medic, tavern keep, and eventually the first Lla’viltir of Mitrona. She had held just about every job in the book– all within the same timeframe. As the nation had lost its popularity due to an absent Khari’cerr, she had worked relentlessly on the nation. Events were held every night by her and the culture of the Azari’cerr was told, encouraging Kharash’s chosen ones to dive deeper into their roots. Elaine’s main and only mission was restoring the broken nation to its previous greatness and nothing had stopped in her way.

Directly before Elaine had taken the throne, it had become evident to her how the entire nation had been in shambles since Mythanthar passed down his title. Elaine had to be good with words and deals as a young traveler. So, thereafter, when she saw this with her own eyes, she took this as a sign. Now was her time to shine more than ever. The young tiefling at the time knew she could not take the role with just her race, because so far a “tiefling Khari’cerr” had never been heard of. The woman managed to gain an audience with the Khari'cerr and they would meet behind closed doors. When those doors opened again, the Khari'cerr endorsed her ascension and named her his successor.

Aedan Pineblossom gave the throne to Jolie Elaine Lovell in 1540. For a moment, she did rule alone. But through the help of the High Council, it was then something to be proud of. In her current reign, Elaine has made the nation more than self-sufficient. She created more jobs, encouraged the ‘Cerr, and helped rebuild the main city of Mitrona. As they took back Sunscape, Elaine had then revived the dead branch. Despite her obvious success, it is still a deeply controversial topic of her being a tiefling leader. As she cannot speak to the spirits. All within an understanding lens, Elaine then wrote out to be the first and only tiefling Khari’cerr. As it would stand unfair to the Azari’cerr to not have someone truly represent them. Though her subjects are deemed to deeply respect and fear her, she knows it is not her rightful place.

Mitrona as of 1546.

Present Day

As of the year 1546, Jolie Elaine Lovell still takes the throne. Mitrona is a thriving nation with its self-sufficiency. They lean on no one other than themselves and trust none other than themselves. With all three of Mitrona’s properties rebuilt and loved dearly, the nation gets plenty of attention. Their Forest is mostly open to everyone with their risks in mind. Disrespectful outsiders are not tolerated. The ones who come in with an open mind and friendliness are met with skepticism, but the Azari’cerr can learn to be open with their song and dance.
