Savrilia

edit

Savrilia is a concept that can trace its roots to the early 5th century B.C. and the Germanic peoples of the region of Germany in Central Europe. The concept itself dictates an Independent Homeland for the Savrilian People, a subgroup of Germans previously distinct to the territories of East Germany, Western Poland, and for a period of time before 462 A.D., Pre-Slavic Bohemia.

Origin

edit

The origins of Savrilia are not well-documented. However, it is believed to stem from an oral tradition surrounding a figure known as Savrilius. According to the legend, Savrilius was a heroic leader who safeguarded the Savrilian tribes during their migration to the mouth of the Oder River. The legend narrates that Savrilius defeated an army of 30,000 Slavic warriors, which allegedly led to the temporary exile of Slavic peoples from Europe until the 1st century AD.

Early History (220 B.C. - 176 B.C.)

edit

Little information about the early history of Savrilia exists, aside from the brief rule of King Lim Buraak, after whom the capital city, Limbrück, was named. Beginning in 220 BC, Savrilia evolved into a city-state centered around Limbrück. Between 215 BC and 176 BC, Savrilia consolidated its presence around this burgeoning city. This period saw an increase in ambitions among its rulers and citizens, leading to a series of conflicts to expand Savrilia's influence and authority. These wars played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of Savrilia and altering the region's geopolitical landscape.

During this tumultuous period, Savrilia embarked on a campaign of conquest to expand its dominion over neighboring territories. The Savrilian armies extended their reach from the plains of Pomerania to Brandenburg, Lubusz, and Saxony. Through a combination of military strength and strategic diplomacy, Savrilia incorporated these lands, either through direct invasion or by forming alliances with local rulers. This unification brought together diverse cultures and traditions under the banner of Limbrück, forming a cohesive Savrilian identity.

These wars also brought Savrilia into conflict with the nascent nation-states inhabiting the land of modern Poland, although the outcome is disputed.

Despite the challenges and bloodshed, the wars marked a period of significant growth and prosperity for Savrilia. The nation emerged as a formidable power on the continent, with influence extending beyond its immediate borders. As the conflicts ended, Savrilia faced the ongoing challenge of maintaining its resilience and navigating the changing tides of history with determination.

Roman Influence (3 B.C.)

edit

Amid the tumultuous Roman-Germanic wars that affected neighboring regions, Savrilia emerged in historical records due to its encounters with the Roman Empire. In 3 BC, Savrilia and Rome crossed paths, leading to significant cultural exchanges that shaped Savrilia's future.

The initial contact between Savrilia and Rome was marked by confusion and conflict amid the chaos of war. However, this period also saw an exchange of knowledge and customs between the two civilizations. Savrilians were captivated by the grandeur and sophistication of Roman culture, influencing their art, architecture, and governance.

In return, Savrilia shared its rich traditions and customs with Rome, highlighting the similarities between the two cultures. In that period, Savrilia was refered to as the "Second Rome."

Under the reign of Urebus, the last ruler of the Heimar Dynasty, this cultural interchange peaked. The Savrilian court integrated Roman and indigenous customs, showcasing the enduring bonds forged during this period.

Despite the Roman influence, Savrilia maintained its unique identity, drawing strength from its history and the legacy of its legendary founder, Savrilius. As Rome's influence persisted, Savrilia exemplified cultural exchange and adaptation, remaining a beacon of civilization in a changing world.

Succession Crisis and the Doeren-Seta Dynasty

edit

During the 1st Century, Savrilia was faced with a Succession Crisis after the passing of Urebus of the Heimar Dynasty.

There remains no information about the Savrilian Succession Crisis.

In the midst of the national emergency, the two Savrilian noble houses of the Doeren and Seta households emerged as the dominant faction of the ensuing political struggle, beating out the remaining Nobility and securing the Savrilian Throne.

Savrilian-Polish war and the Savrilian Genocide

edit

The decline and eventual collapse of Savrilia were marked by a series of internal and external challenges. The once-stable nation faced increasing instability from the distant provinces to the capital.

Internal discord began in the western provinces, where grievances led to frequent revolts against the central government. This internal strife was compounded by external threats, as hostile forces targeted Savrilia’s borders. Foreign interlopers attacked and pillaged outlying settlements, exploiting the nation's weakened state.

During the rule of Sirius Seta, efforts were made to preserve the nation's integrity. However, despite these efforts, Savrilia continued to face chaos and decline. Over the centuries, the nation’s control over its territories weakened, leading to the gradual collapse of its cities and infrastructure.

In the 10th century, Savrilia became embroiled in a prolonged conflict with Poland, known as the Savrilian-Polish War. The origins of the war stemmed from territorial disputes and long-standing rivalries. In the 960s, Mieszko I of Poland initiated a genocidal campaign against Savrilia, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.

Despite their efforts, Savrilian forces under King Tiberius Seta were outmatched by the Polish army. The conflict resulted in significant casualties, the destruction of villages, and the loss of vast territories to Polish control. The war continued until 987 AD, when the capital city of Limbrück fell to Polish forces and was subsequently razed, marking the end of Savrilia as an independent nation.

The fall of Limbrück symbolized the collapse of Savrilia's civilization. However, the legacy of Savrilia endured through its people, who continued to preserve their cultural identity despite the nation's fall.

Great War, the Death of Friederich Karl, and the August 8th Plot

edit

In the midst of the Great War, ethnically Savrilian volunteers under the multi-national Savrilian Pioneer Corps would participate in several small battles of the Serbian Campaign, and the African Campaign.

After the armistice came into effect, the Pioneer Corps was disbanded completely, and the remaining members returned to their home nations. On June 2nd, 1932, the last king of Savrilia, Friederich Hermann Karl, reformed the loyalist members of the Pioneers into a small resistance cell with the assistance of Giovanni Abbadelli.

In march of 1938, King Friederich Karl would pass away from an undetected brain tumor, leaving the Savrilian resistance leaderless.

The Savrilian resistance would operate in secret until August of 1942, when a planned uprising against Hitler's Regime would take place. Unfortunately, on the eve of August 8th, the resistance would be extinguished by the Gestapo, with the survivors being sent to camps, from which they would not return.

Credibility

edit

As little information exists on Savrilia due to the information purges following both the fall of Savrilia and the death of Friederich Karl, it is impossible to fully confirm the existence or factuality of events regarding the history and fate of the Savrilian Nation.
