Short History of Menil Empire and their Five Patrons

Principality of Menil Year was one of the nations that was affected greatly by the great flooding. All records of its history were wiped out making the current leader of the nation in year 300 as the first ruler instead. The Principality of Menil was established around the year 165 together with its strong and aggressive neighbor, the Dukedom of Silkiana.

Menil was the largest Principality nation in Lireo Continent. Its land area is 143,000 km², a nation whose main source of income is farming and logging.

It transitioned to Kingdom of Menil in year 700 and participated in the 1st Continental War siding with East Geramana and West Geramana.

Its greatest achievements during this event were; Defeating their aggressive neighbor, the Dukedom of Silkiana was absorbed as a part of the Menil territory. Destroying the Dragon nation of Ignelia. Occupying the vampire nation of Vampiri.

With the first continental war ending, West and East Geramana united into the Great Geramana. The Southeria Republic was also established and became a well funded nation by both Geramana and Lyndonaksha(later on Lyndon) as it became the most invaded nation in Lireo. Its invaders are nations from the Laxima Continent.

In the year 1591, the crown princess of Menil Republic started the expansion of Menil aiming to transition it into an Empire.

This was a very tensional time for everyone as the South Empire is already hostile and completely broke the relationship it has towards Menil and Geramana.

Lovain Menil started the 2nd continental war. Lovain challenges every country who questions their actions. Lizardia, the nation that unified the previously 6 dragon nations declared war on the Menil Republic but suffered a devastating loss. Lizardia lost 2 Dragon Kings that succeeded the crown.

The South Empire was forced to sign a peace treaty. The North Empire banned all citizens coming from Menil.

Lyndon cut all trades with Menil.

Geramana condemned Menil and stopped its military alliance.

The 2nd continental war ended in 1604 with the Menil Republic becoming the Menil Empire.

Lovain Menil became the first ruler and queen of the Empire. She was also the only ruler to be a queen of the nation.
