History
The people and culture of Kalonia can trace its roots back to 4000 BCE, through the early Kalon civilizations. Civilization in the valley around there until the northern tribes, then called by the locals the Pagoni, invaded the lands at about 1500 BCE. Enslavement of the local human and nekki population was institutionalized. Control by the tribal-esque Pagoni shown through artwork at the time, distinct by halo-like shining on the heads of those considered pure, and spikes on the heads of those considered unclean.
In 613, according to tradition, Alessia, the first Empress was born in the Verzem province. Birth records have confirmed that a slave named Alessia was born in this exact area at this time. According to religious traditions, Alessia located a book while plowing the fields, took it to an ancient temple, and became one favored from the Gods, becoming a preacher. Historical accounts tell that Alessia lead a large slave rebellion, eventually overthrowing each Pagoni lord. In 636, the Holy Imperium streched a good deal on the continent, ending with the death of Alessia. Alessia's death signaled the end of the first golden age, and resulted to the shrinking of the state to pre-Dixie war boundaries.
The monarchs of the 700s until the 1400s were relatively well known and regarded as good monarchs. The State pushed for religious tolerance to all religions while maintaining the state church. In 1414, Emperor Justin II was deposed by an armed mob of nobility and Nekki citizenry, who enthroned Emperor Kyran I, the first Nekki Emperor. This dynasty was tied to the original Alessian line of monarchs, through Alessia's child Alyssa, the Princess Royal who did not take the throne. The Lovyar Dynasty survived until the death of Oriana in 1577. The lengthy regency of the Ministry survived until the royal appointee became Monarch, the descendant of Justin II. Alice I took the throne on December 5th, 1583.
The nation went through a religious revival in the period of 1617 until 1691, known as the Imperial Revival. Many of the powers delegated to the people vanished and were given back to the Monarch and the nobility. In 1706, the Monarchy was stronger then it was in the days of St. Alessia the Great. The Irovian Monarchs, not even descended from the first Monarch Alessia, were the monarchs leading after a nobility interest took control of the Monarchy. The 1700s are generally regarded as a bad time in the history of Kalonia. A bloodless coup brought the end of the nobility hold on the Monarchy, and power was returned to the people ever so slightly. Soon, the lower elected house had the same rights as the nobility. With the Industrial Revolution in full swing, the state founded several steel plants and other businesses to support its own costs. This would later lead to the domination of the state in the oil and steel businesses.
1893 saw land disputes with nations bordering it, including one port (pending).
