Nguyan History


An Aurora Nation.



INFIDELS!

If you are not privvy to our great history,
then you are an un-educated foreign dog!

We have no time to give history lessons to imbeciles
wanting to know of our illustrious past!

Perhaps you should visit our great nation if you dare,
and beg the common people to show you the light of how
those who are not animalistic pigs live everyday life
in Nguya!

But be warned if you are of the exploitive usurpers who
we exiled forcibly from our great homeland.
Bourgeois swine will not be tolerated!!
[Tech] And now, the real history.. During the early history of Aurora, Nguya, formerly known as Shangolia, was made up of exceptionally fierce and predatory clans, which made up a large feudal order. To the north, in the nation now known as Nile-Afran, early colonial empires were taking slaves. Not much was known about the south, as only a few expeditions ever returned, with tales of a ferocious enemy with a seemingly voracious appetite for bloodshed and hostility. As the slave trade began to pick up, more interest was taken in Nguya, as those wishing to capture more slaves wended their way south and into the realms of the feudal chieftains. This only proved disastrous to most with aims of subduing and enslaving these wild new inhabitants. It seemed very few slaves could actually be taken, as when more was learned of the indigenous culture and language, it was ascertained that capture in battle was judged a fate worse than death. Depending upon the effectiveness of combatants of the vanquished force (and the disposition of the triumphant warlord) most were given a choice. Returning home with honor, swearing fealty to a more powerful lord, or choosing a "respectable" way to meet death. Adding to these difficulties, the natives had begun to advance into the iron age, so although equipped with muskets, many colonials died facing the charge of Nguyans armed with swords, arrows, and other metal tipped weapons. Eventually, all attempts at establishing a foothold (for the purposes of slavery) were abandoned. However, a few tenacious slavers were able to befriend some of the chieftains in assisting them in their efforts to the north, enslaving the natives there. Not long after, the Nguyans had picked up the skill of making guns. Without warning, the Nguyan lords turned upon their "new" friends, wiping most of them out, except for a select few, who had actually converted to Nguyan customs. All along, the Nguyans had viewed the colonials with the utmost disrespect for being of low enough character to keep slaves, and for their "unclean" habits of refusing to bathe regularly, and covering their "stench" with perfume. This brought about a long history of isolation from the world, as the colonial nations sought out easier claims in the world.. Very few were ever able to gain entry into the "wilds" of what they named "Shangolia," as outsiders were viewed as "filth ridden barbarians." A long succession of feudal wars ensued, as the introduction of muskets and cannon upset the balance of power for a while. Ultimately, three families maneuvered their way into power over most of the regions. The Shao-Pe, the Quo-Shi, and the Ttang Shai.
These families split into three kingdoms for a while, but inexorably began warring upon each other. After many years of terrible slaughter, all three kingdoms stood upon the brink of once again dissolving into another period of feudal chaos. From this disorder, came Nuuyu Shao-Pe, aged leader of the Shao-Pe Kingdom. Nuuyu had lost all of his sons in battle, and was left with only a few scheming nephews to succeed him. His daughter Ishi, had run off to marry a prince in the Ttang-Shai family. This union had produced a grand-daughter, Iahia. Iahia was so beautiful and charming, that even the Ttang-Shai King had allowed her to move freely back and forth to visit her Grandfather in the Shao-Pe kingdom. She in turn fell for a captured Prince of the Quo-Shi family who had sworn fealty to the Shao-Pe's. The aged Nuuyu, not wanting to see his kingdom fall to the feudal lords set to vie for power with his corrupt nephews proposed a royal marriage. Prince Onnai Quo-Shi, of the Quo-Shi, now sworn to the Shao-Pe, would be joined with Princess Iahia Ttang-Shai. These two would be King and Queen of all lands in Nguya, for which he would abdicate his throne, to the good of all (and balance of power.) Since heirs of all kingdoms were involved, this was found the only acceptable alternative to a complete collapse of power. Thus the "Three Royal Lines" were established, ensuring that all would have part in the future of the ruling of Nguya. The "Royal Seat" was established in Shao-Pe, and became Shao City. From this point, the three kingdoms still had autonomy, but were subordinate to the decree of the Royal Family when a conflict of interest arose. All marriages were subject to approval or even arrangement from the Ruling Sovereigns to keep imbalances in check. This rule lasted until 70 years ago, when the Popular Shangolian Liberation Front (PSLF) began the revolt which eventually took power. Aided with the influence of foreign dictatorial powers, they rapidly gained control of the country. Bringing back the name of "Shangolia." While a rather cruel regime, many of the modernizations of Shangolia occured during this time. With the entrance of the nation into what is now known as the "Iron Triangle," things began to go badly for Shangolia during the war that ensued. As losses mounted, and hardships ensued, people began to lose faith in the governing body. As this began to reach a critical point, the military seized control of the bureaucracy and installed Itsuuyu Ttang-Shao, a popular general in the army, and direct descendant of the last King. Known as a battle-hardened megalomaniac, it is difficult to tell where this new page in history will take the country, which Itsuuyu Ttang-Shao has once again re-named from "Shangolia" to "Nguya." (In honor of his "Godly" connections to the last emperor of the Nguyan Royal Family.) Such is the history.. (For now.) [/Tech]
