Holy Asgarnian Empire

Holy Asgarnian Empire(Holy Kingdom of Asgarnia) was a state that incorporated the cities of Rimmington, Taverley, Burthorpe, Port Sarim, Draynor, and its capital, Falador, into one unified state in a space that was slightly larger than the historic Kingdom of Asgarnia. The Empire was widely known for restoring a civilized and centralized form of government to Asgarnia, as well as maintaining a pro-unification stance towards all territories that are considered to be Asgarnian geographically.

Although the group now controls no land, there are still meetings between few to discuss Asgarnia, and how the members within the group can better the region.

Gaining Power
A coup was created in Asgarnia to force King Varis Grey out of power. The Kinshra Knights and his own servants were actively plotting against him. Through the madness, the Adalhard family found a weak point. With much planning, the Adalhards and Kinshra were going to strike and take Asgarnia by force, all by using Varis’ trust. Days before the rebellion was to start, though, Varis heard of what was to come and ceded all of his land to Kandarin. King Oliver Cleeves, a former Asgarnian Admiral, was given all Asgarnia lands. Many parts of Asgarniawere unsupportive of this action, but what could they do? Kandarin was a well structured region. Not to mention they sent an army as fast as possible to secure the new land. Luckily, they did not wish to keep Asgarnia. They held a vote between former ruler Joseph Adalhard and a local statesman. The choice seemed to be undecided until one afternoon. Kandarin guardsmen attempted to bribe the Adalhard into giving them his Saradomin Idol. He declined, and surely thought he was out of the race. They did say that they were a huge part of his point factor. However, days later the winner was announced. Joseph Adalhard would once again rule Asgarnia.

New Nation Created
Given Falador, Port Sarim and Rimmington, the lower areas of Asgarnia were united under one house, the Military was able to be restructured, along with many laws that outlined domestic rights and privileges. Ministries were created to handle the rising issues of the new government, including the Ministries of Domestic and Foreign affairs, the Ministry of Defence, and the Ministry of National Wealth. A small council was created to keep the power balanced. The council votes on important actions, from creating or breaking alliances to the positioning of the military. The region was now known as United Asgarnia!

Burthorpe
Burthorpe is the northern most town in Asgarnia. It is known for it's large standing castle located upon Castle Hill. The people in Burthorpe farm to make their living along with being the main arms supplying town in Asgarnia. Burthorpe has an ongoing war with the trolls located in the tunnels and caves to the north.



Rejoining the Empire
Burthorpe was given back to the Empire from King Brock Avery of Kandarin. Not much changed in Burthorpe besides the flags which flew above. Kandarin left Burthorpe in working shape, and most of the citizens which resided in the area rejoiced due to the fact they were back under Asgarnian rule. Although Kandarin never abused the people of Burthorpe, the people who lived in Burthorpe were Asgarnian and were pro-Asgarnian unification. There were no rebellions when Burthorpe rejoined Empire.

Draynor
Draynor is a recently rebuilt town, much bustle around as the people were well fed from food sent by individuals from Misthalin. The new leader, Count Logan Courval, works hard to improve the situation at Draynor as it is still recovering from the previous Dragonkin Worshipper raids. After a recent repair to the Draynor Manor, it now stands defiant against all who would oppose it and town together.



The Market Place
A hub for southern Misthalites and Asgarnian people to barter their goods. Items such as pigs, cows, chickens, wheat, and seeds can be found within the market. If you look hard enough, you can even find items which were lost in the years. Valuable books, gems and other treasures can be found within the Draynor market. It's the ideal place for patrons to unite.

Count L. Courval
Draynor needed a new Regent due to Count de Burgh  not doing an effective job. They allow Logan Courval to take the job, as he has lived in Draynor for the entirety of his life, he knows the people and the land. Hopefully Count Courval will be able to enhance the living conditions for the people in the small farming town. So far, all reports show that he is doing a fantastic job!

Exiting the Empire
On 27 Bennath, Year 1(April 14, 2013), Count Logan Courval requested to leave the Kingdom of Asgarnia so Draynor could enter Misthalin. King Richard Grosvenor met with Count Logan Courval and they agreed that Draynor should remain under Misthalin due to the fact it was part of that region.

Falador
Falador is the capital city, also the largest and oldest, of the Holy Asgarnian Empire. Formed after the unification of Asgarnia by King Raddallin, Falador is arguably the capital of the Saradominist religion, despite the state being secular. As it is at the intersection of the Misthalin-Kandarin and Falador-Sarim roads, Falador is a strategic trade city. With its strategicness comes great wealth, and trade is arguably responsible for the revenue from the local pub, The Rising Sun Inn, and the Casino, popularly known as The Party Room.

The Castle
The Castle in Falador, widely known as the White Knights’ Castle, is the seat of power in Asgarnia. Not only does it host a garrison of White Knights, but it also serves as the mansion from within King Joseph Adalhard rules. Overall, the castle has been destroyed twice, first by New Haven forces who gave up a long battle for control over the masses, and lastly by King Aztarwyn. Currently, it lies in a fair shape, having been renovated and refitted with new artillery and a dual-portcullis system.

Treasure Tower
The Treasure Tower, or Tower of Gold is the largest tower within the castle. The tower contains many riches of the Empire. It's the main treasury of the Empire. It holds various items from an Adalhard Blade to the Idol of Saradomin. To common folk, this is only known by rumor. And from the outside, it looks like a normal tower. But it's not.... The doors within the tower are all double-reinforced with steel, and the staircases can be removed with ease. Upon the great tower is a glass cap. As long as the Empire rules over Asgarnia, the flame which sits at the top of the tower will continue to burn.

Silver Iycene Great Sword
After many months of scholars reading up on an old Saradomin camp located in the desert, the Emperor and his men set out on a journey. Crossing through Misthalin, and then Al-Kharid, they made their way to the desert. With plenty of water, they rode camels to the main locations on the map they had drawn up. Finally, after many hours, they made their way to the old site. As they began to plunder it for artifacts, protectors of the loot sprang up! After fighting a demonic force who was laid to rest there many, many years ago, they were free to once again look around. They found many old weapons and tablets of writing. The most important object which was found would be an old Silver Iycene Sword. Now, the sword sits in the center of the Castle's Courtyard. Below it is a plaque of all the members who helped in getting the great object. Hail Saradomin.



Falador Salon
In the north-west corner of the Great White City lies the Falador Salon. The building is one of the largest within Falador making it easy to find. The owner, Sweeney Todd is the only one who works within the large building and surprisingly never makes a man, woman or child wait too long! If you're in need of a trim or a shave, be sure to stop in! Prices are non-negotiable but keep in mind, they're quite fair!

Fort Adalhard
Fort Adalhard is located to the north of Falador and due east of Burthorpe. It houses a large amount of troops whom are dedicated to protecting the north-western border. It is equipped with a large beacon system which can be seen by the city watch in Falador in minutes. In addition to being a central warning system, Fort Adalhard is also the main military technologies development site. (Fort Adalhard is the Goblin Village)



Fort Vallance
Fort Vallance is located north-east of Falador and west of Barbarian Village. It's the main outpost which looks over the roads from Misthalin to Asgarnia, in the north. It has many fixed cannons which focus on the road, from both ways. Due to its elevation, it can also oversee the roads from Falador to the Taverley wall. The men stationed at Fort Vallance are also in charge of the Wilderness - Asgarnia border. The men stationed here are some of the best in the armed forces. They deal with constant bandit attacks from the Wilderness and often have to hunt for their own food. Combined with some of the most intelligent officers around, a very formidable fighting force is created. Many of the best leaders and troops at the other forces were once stationed here for training.

Port Sarim
Formerly known as, “The Kinsport”, Port Sarim has been through many changes. Firstly, large granite walls surround the land area of Port Sarim. The docks have been refitted with wood that is significantly better seasoned than the predecessor, leaving it even stronger when storms come around. The clearance from the water surface to the sea bottom has been increased to allow larger vessels to pass through the inlet. The Rusty Anchor can no longer stay open throughout the late night and early morning. It’s now limited from twelve to twelve, to create a more family friendly atmosphere.

The Docks
The main income of the southern region of Asgarnia is through the docks of Port Sarim. Being recently renovated, the docks can now house more ships, extending the amount of goods which can be processed. Currently citizens of Asgarnia can board charter ships to take them to the various regions, such as:
 * Kharida
 * Kandarin
 * Karamja
 * Misthalin
 * Zealoplis

Fort Grosvenor
Fort Grosvenor is located to in the southern area of Port Sarim. It can only house a small amount of men, but is almost virtually impossible to capture. It sits above deep trenches with longbowmen on duty around the clock. Fort Grosvenor is the main southern stronghold within the Empire. (Fort Grosvenor is the Port Sarim Jail)

Galewood(Rimmington)
...To be implemented

Taverley
Taverley is known for the druids which reside in the town. It's known for peace and prosperity. The town sits next to White Wolf Mountain, which means it's a booming town for trade as all land merchants use the mountain to get between Asgarnia and Kandarin. The town provides one of the largest defenses for western Asgarnia: Meir's Wall. Meir's Wall spans from Burthorpe to Lake of the Empress' in Taverley.

Taverley was along with Burthorpe granted back to Asgarnia by King Brock Avery of Kandarin.

The Holy Asgarnian Empire Colony of Southern Karamja
On19 Rintra, 169, the Emperor and a few trusted White Knights made their way across the Southern Ocean to Musa Point. They landed just south of the current Concendo General store. They've come to create a colony to increase revenue for the Empire along with harvesting much resources.

Colony Development
The Empire claims some land on the western coast, of the southern island along with the entire northern shore of the southern island.
 * Construct an identical lighthouse to the one on Mudskipper Point. (Waiting on approval)
 * Create various fishing docks, along with shipping docks.
 * Create various fields for domestic crops.
 * Construct new mills to for lumber and ore.
 * Construct a canal within the current land bridge.

Immediate Updates: 

A checkpoint has been created for men traveling from the northern island, south. It is two bronze coins to pass through, and there is no charge to return back. The foundation for the Lighthouse Bree was laid.

Military
Within all major towns and cities under Empire rule are local militias. They’re the force which make up the Asgarnian Military when united. There are two divisions of forces within Asgarnia: the army and the navy.



Army
This group contains both men who use melee and ranged weapons. It is split into two groups, the infantry and the ranged.

Infantry
The Infantry are all equipped with the same items. They’re specialists with their arms, and trained for survival. Practicing daily, they are a superior force.

Rangers
The Rangers have two divisions, longbowmen and crossbowmen. Longbowmen are trained specifically for defending high elevated places, such as walls and hills. They’re taught to primarily shoot as far as they can, sacrificing precision. Crossbowmen, are trained in an opposite manner. Since the Crossbow can do all of the work, it’s up to the men to line up their shot.

Navy
The Asgarnian Navy, a small division of Asgarnia, but an important one. Led by Admiral Jackal, the Navy is quite expansive in ships. The seas around Asgarnia are known to be quite choppy, and only the most skilful sailors attempt to sail through it. Most of these sailors are the only ones brave enough to join the Navy. The men who are a part of the navy are also considered the most ruthless in the Empire. When they board enemy ships, they leave no survivors.

Allies and Trade
When the Empire was first established, trade was a major factor in bringing money into the region. It reached out to many areas, like Varrock, Al-Kharid, Lumbrdge and many more. Soon, Asgarnia was in the loop with other large nations in trade. They then had to secure their borders with their neighbors.

Varrock and Misthalin regions
Once the Empire was granted power by Kandarin, they quickly attempted to setup close arrangements with the also new monarch under Queen Katrina Lansing of Varrock. Ambassador Sir Jeremy Richmond and Lady Mary Strea created an agreement for both Misthalin and Asgarnia to prosper. It contained both a trade and military agreement.

Asgarnia-Misthalin Agreement
The Royal Contract of Emperor Joseph Adalhard of Asgarnia, and Queen Kantrina Lansing of Varrock.

Enclosed in this document is the agreement to work not only in trade, but in defense to ensure the prosperity of both Misthalin and Asgarnia. If either party does not agree on a point within the contract, they may cross it out, for further review by the other party, in hopes to satisfy the needs of all.

"Trade Agreement

- All forms of tariff, or tax upon either nations trade will be reduced, if not voided completely.

- Asgarnia will buy all imports of precious metals from only Misthalin, in exchange, Misthalin will do the same.

- Asgarnia will remove any tax of produce, and increase export of such products as wheat, potatoes, onions, and other crops of Asgarnia to Misthalin by double.

-Misthalin will remove any tax of any sort of metal-work, and increase exports of such products as Steel Swords, Iron Chest plates, Nails, raw bars of Bronze/Iron/Steel, and other metal goods of Misthalin to Asgarnia by double.

- In times of hardship, Asgarnian merchants are mandated to lower prices of essential goods; such as food, weapons, clothing to the Armies of Misthalin. Asgarnia is expected to do the same if such hardships full upon Misthalin.

- The trade route between Falador and Varrock is to be made safer by both parties, as most lies in the heart of Asgarnia, Misthalian soldiers are allowed across the borders to patrol as a joint force, to be further discussed and refined by both respected parties.

- Nobility of Asgarnia will have diplomatic immunity on Misthalian soil.

- Nobility of Misthalin will have diplomatic immunity on Asgarnian soil.

Militaristic Agreement

- If either country declares war upon another, or is attacked, the other is expected to send soldiers, if not a whole body of men. This agreement is voided if either party decides the others justification of acts of war are not sound.

- Each country will come to the aid of the other in times of hardship.

- The Wilderness border is to be staffed by both parties, and the series of beacons is to be maintained no longer by solely Misthalian men.

- Yearly, both generals must meet to reconfirm their agreement, and discuss any changes.

- Both Nations must maintain a standing army of at least ten thousand men.

- Neither nation may declare war, or acts of war, upon the other, or all clauses of the contract our voided, and any sort of alliance shall be broken.

- Neither nation may associate themselves with the open enemies of the other.

Those are the terms that are to be agreed on, if any clause is not met at anytime, depending on the decision of both parties, the clause may be voided, if not the entire agreement.

Asgarnia hopes for all the agreements to be held between both parties, but is willing to discuss any issues Misthalin may have with the contract, and write a new. If parts are not sound with the other party, Misthalin will not hold it against, nor will it change their opinion on maintaining a close friendship with Asgarnia.

-Signed at the bottom would be...-

X Emperor Joseph Adalhard

X Queen Katrina Lansing"

Al-Kharid
Soon after Sir Richmond and Lady Strea sealed the deal in Varrock, the moved south to the region of Kharidia. The soon began talks with the current Emir of the region, Kato Drakkar. The diplomats and the Emir both agreed that a trade agreement between both parties was beneficial.

Kinshra Involvement
Shortly after the coronation of King Joseph Adalhard, the Kinshra were called upon to return to within Asgarnia. Initially refusing, they were all but forced to cooperate under a new treaty with King Joseph and his Department of Domestics, headed by his cousin, Arthos Adalhard. After some early squabbling and infighting, the Kinshra settled into their new position. Some remained sour, but as a whole the Kinshra were largely contented. That isn't to say they were happy, but the Kinshra were satisfied with how things had shaped.

Lord Farady made a brief return in this time, taking the Kinshra's seat on the Asgarnian council. However, after a dispute with Lord Ryan Arkon, in which Farady accused him of treachery and treason, later found baseless in the Asgarnian Courts by the Red Justiciar and a panel of Jurors, he was branded a traitor to the Kinshra, and fled.

Kinshra Feud
While Princess Julia Adalhard was being escorted from Falador to Varrock the Kinshra ambused the escort and kidnapped the eldest Princess. Reinforcements rushed to the scene from Fort Vallance but the Princess was already gone, and most of the guardsmen who attempted to protect her were dead or were suffering from wounds. While the reinforcements searched the area, they found a guard who had been knocked unconscious. Once the man came to it, he revealed that it was men dressed as Kinshra who took Julia. Since the Kinshra and the Empire had a somewhat good relationship, it was odd that they would kidnap a member of the royal family. The Empire sent out men to speak with the Kinshra at their fortress on Ice Mountain, but it was abandon. The Kinshra could not be found, it was as if they disappeared underground. The Empire soon declared war on the chaos, dark-lord loving group known as the Kinshra and seized their empty fortress on Ice Mountain. An ex-Kinshra soon released word that they had a fortress under Taverley. The Empire soon launched a full attack on the underground tunnels along with Kandar support. Many men from both Asgarnia and Kandarin filled the tunnels and executed anyone who was in their way. After days of searching, they finally located the Kinshra base. Julia sadly wasn't found,but the Asgar-Kandar forces destroyed all Kinshra relics and burnt every dead corpse. The Kinshra then released a statement that Julia would not be given back unless the Emperor, Joseph Adalhard stepped down.

''This is also known as the Asgarnian Civil War of 169. Adalhard V. Kinshra''

Adalhard Deception
The Emperor knew that in order to get Julia back, he would have to step down. The Kinshra had numerous tunnels located throughout Asgarnia and it would be impossible to ever find her. He met with many people, listening to their ideas until he heard one which had great odds of being successful. A squire known as Felix had this idea to use a Cadava soaked dagger and stab him, making it appear as an assassination. The plot finally started to fall into action and Felix stabbed the Emperor in front of his court. Felix then teleported to the Kinshra base and told them of the news. Once it was confirmed, they released the princess back into the hands of the Adalhard's. While Asgarnia was leaderless, Hayley Spears was appointed Queen. The body of the dead Emperor was laid out in his bed, for the people to pay their respects. After a few hours the Emperor woke and Hayley Spears was brought out to the Salve to be executed. Hayley Spears and her Temple Knights denied to help the Empire, and side with the Kinshra. She was power-hungry in the eyes of the Emperor, and she must be killed. When she was brought to the Salve, she was saved by a random adventurer's, and then found her way to the Dragonkin Worshippers where she was locked up. With Julia back, and the Emperor still alive, the Kinshra were tricked and defeated. Felix was highly praised and even invited to join the Adalhard family. Soon Felix and Julia ran away together.

White Knight Involvement
The Albus Ordinis, also known as the White Knights of Asgarnia, have had a very limited involvement in the new Asgarnian government as of late. After the coup that ousted King Varis, Richard Grosvenor decided to pull the White Knights out and become a more sovereign order, rather than play politics with the intern Kandar governance. After the re-crowning of Joseph Adalhard, the White Knights were allowed residence in the castle once more, and furthermore were given rights to enforce the law in the city. Their task was escalated when they were made temporary bodyguards to the King. Despite limited involvement in the political zone, they eventually were granted the governance of Port Sarim.

Temple Knight HRT Involvement
The Temple Knight Hostage Rescue Team, also known as "The Unit" or "Hayley's Angry Fist", is Asgarnia's premeir Counter-Terrorism Paramilitary Tactical Team. The HRT is trained to rescue hostages, allies, and Asgarnian citizens whom are held by a hostile force, either terrorist or criminal. The Hostage Rescue Team was founded some time during the 5th age by Commander Hayley K. Spears and has since then completed it's final certification excersize. The HRT's purpose is to serve as a foreign as well as a domestic Counter-Terrorism unit, offering a tactical resolution option in hostage and high-risk law enforcement situations. The HRT commonly functions as a global SWAT Team, if you will. They are also known to recruit outside of the Temple Knights, as far as going to mercenaries or soldiers from other governments.

Two Chief roles of the HRT:


 * Hostage Rescue


 * Foreign & Domestic Counter-Terrorism

Secondary Roles:


 * Apprehending barricaded subjects


 * Rescue Missions


 * High-risk raids, searches, arrests, and warrants


 * Mobile Assault


 * Manhunt & Rual Operations


 * Force Protection of Asgarnian Goverment Personnel

Reign of the Undefeatable Richard Grosvenor
After the commotion with the Kinshra, Emperor Joseph Adalhard left office and let the Empire fall under Richard Grosvenor, a brave Saradomin man. Richard Grosvenor was an ex-White Knight Marshal and fought in various battles for the region of Asgarnia and Saradomin. Emperor Grosvenor led the Empire with an iron fist and allowed no nonsense within the boarders. He executed various Kinshra lords and led Asgarnia out of the turmoil which the Kinshra brought upon the region. He improved ties with Kandarin and got Burthorpe and Taverley granted back from King Brock Avery. The Empire saw peace and prosperity under Emperor Grosvenor. Richard Grosvenor left power when he married Lady Alissa and handed the thrown to the notorious Hayley Spears.

''During the ending of the Asgarnian Civil War of 169 Adalhard V. Kinshra, Kandarin and Asgarnia became closer friends. All hostility ceased when Richard Grosvenor met with Brock Avery and soon after Burthorpe and Taverley were granted back to Asgarnia.''

Currenct Projects
Currently no projects.

Completed Projects
Here lists the completed projects the Empire hasdone. Although some might have ended in complete success, or utter failure, they'll be listed!

Protect the Salve
Under Marshal Richard Grosvenor, Grand Master of the White Knights a few units have made their way to Paterdormus to protect the Salve against any evil which intends to cross. Currently, Paterdormus has already been taken by the evil beings. The Knights will attempt to reclaim Paterdormus, in order to protect our closest allies, Misthalin. Sadly, the Knights were out numbered and all but one were slain in battle. May they always be remembered. Hail Saradomin!

Millenia Towers
With Kandarin reigning east of White Wolf Mountain, the Empire had no natural dividers. Although there is a wall to separate Taverley from the rest of Asgarnia, the Kandarinians own it. The Empire has created three identical towers along the border with beacons in each. Longbowmen along with a few infantry men are located within each tower. The Towers are also used as border security to guarantee goods being imported and exported are not illegal.

Crush the Rebellion
Rebellion has come to Asgarnia! Rebels who declare their allegiance to, "The True Prince," have picked up weapons and attempted to squash the Empire, Kinshra and White Knights! Many battles will take place in order to stop the rebellion, but right now it's anyones game!

Peace with Kandarin
With the failed assassination attempt on Crown Prince Vectis Vekon of Kandarin the Empire and Kandarin are turned against each other. Someone in the crowd attempted to assassinate the prince while screaming "Hail Asgarnia." Naturally, the Kandar's blamed Asgarnia for the problem, thinking the Empire hired the man to try and kill the prince. Now, the Empire must prove they did /not/ try and kill the Prince.
