I'll add various things and ideas I have relating to mapping, history, nations, etc. every now and then when I feel like it. You could read it if you want.

Kingdom of Vanzoria (1238 - 1274 Y.O.)
In 1238 Y.O. (Year of Ondrantium), Duke Jlusius III of Vanzoria declared himself King. He started expanding his kingdom in 1242 by declaring war on the neighboring Duchy of Fulmidia. The war lasted longer than expected, letting the bloodshed continue until 1255, when Fulmidia finally surrendered to Vanzoria. Fulmidia became a vassal of Vanzoria by the name of the County of the Fulmids, which was annexed into Vanzoria in 1260. King Jlusius wanted to gain more land however, and sided with the Reformists in the 9 + 10 Years' War (a.k.a. the 21 Years' War) in 1263. The war went well until 1270, when the Orthodox Mervueists won the First Battle of Ethanberg in the Western territories of the Staltalic Empire (Orthodox Mervuist). The Reformists were pushed back steadily until 1274, when the capital of Vanzoria, Kwaldornia, was captured. King Jlusius was killed in the battle of Kwaldornia, and Vanzoria was turned into the Vanzorian Principality, a vassal of the Staltalic Empire. The war eventually turned to the Reformists favor in 1276, and they pushed into the Staltalic Empire once again in 1279. Ethanberg was captured by the Reformists in the Second Battle of Ethanberg in 1281, and the Staltalic Empire surrendered in 1284. The Kingdom of Vanzoria was not restored, however, as the Vanzorians formed a republic.
