The '''Anternia Empire''' (Anternian:{{ASc|imprasa anteTni}} [ĩj̃ˈpɾaˈza:ãˈteˈɾˈni]) was one of the largest empires of Ancient East Alaxia, responsible for holding the Northern Coast with a large amount of stability in its vast systems of infrastructure and standardization in both culture and war. Its rise and endurance along the ancient years, showed Anternia as one of the greatest early nations of Alaxia, and due to this, the progenitors of it still live on to this day, in the form of [[Ahitereira]], [[Koresa]] and [[Empherias]].▼
▲Anternia was one of the largest empires of Ancient East Alaxia, responsible for holding the Northern Coast with a large amount of stability in its vast systems of infrastructure and standardization in both culture and war. Its rise and endurance along the ancient years, showed Anternia as one of the greatest early nations of Alaxia, and due to this, the progenitors of it still live on to this day, in the form of [[Ahitereira]], [[Koresa]] and [[Empherias]].
The Anternian Republic, the predecessor for the Anternian Empire, was vastly influential for the constitutionalist movements of East Alaxia, with the Anternian Code. Due to this the legacy of the Anternian empire was undeniable for the formation of Alaxia. Be it in the widely used Fazarian Alphabet, which had its origins in Anternia, or the Military Organization that was rivaled by no one in the region.

The origin of Anternia, is said to come from the great founder of the first Anternian city, Lucero, the legendary Lucas, descendant of the great goddess of Love, Sabrina. Lucas is said to have fleed from the heavens, away from the goddess Sabrina, as he was interested in the lives of the mortals, he then blessed the people with their godly looks and red-ish eyes, characteristic of the Anternian bloodlings. Lucas came and saw the sad state of the mortals, unorganized and poor. He declared as his mission to create a new City, that would feed the mortals and their kind, this city would be named Lucero, in honor of the founder who bringed prosperity to everyone.
Then tragedy struck the lands of Lucero, when his sister Madalena, came from the heavens, but not to aid her brother, but rather to fulfill the mission of the god of Death and Infidelity, Treste, to kill Lucas and to bring the mortals back to their lowly place. Lucas and his mortal allies fought a battle that ruined the great city of Lucero, and transformed it back into mere tribes in the middle of nowhere, causing ruin to everyone.

The region's residents were in a constant change, as the rivers that existed there had vast fertility. As the people's from the eastern lands (Modern Ahitereira) came west, Lucero and its surrounding cities were known for being occupied by a group of people by the name of Anter, known for their white skin in comparison with the natives.
Lucero grew from some pastoral settlements in the river of Madalena, being surrounded by other rivers that helped the navigation in the region. With this Lucero grew as the capital and center of a Anternic Republic. The Anter language was said to be derived from the southern empire of Durbinia as the most civilized nation at the time, but still had various differences such as the script and many of the

As the nation continued to grew, a Central Assembly was created and began to rule the various lands occupied by the Lucerans. With that, a code was created by the assembly and established the first foundations of the republic. The main institutions of the central assembly were the Arms Assembly, ruled by the military; the Plebian Assembly, ruled by the people; the Senate and the Great Assembly, ruled by various selected people, usually of noble descent.
This finally led to a sort of organization in the nation, and the clear establishment of the Republic.
With the consolidation also came various problems, as the

The Senate had ordered for the continuation of the various roads into their empires, this way facilitating the maintenance and development of the republic by providing efficient means for the overland movement of armies, produce, civilians and much more. Usually military stations would be also connected, facilitating transport of the troops in case of a extreme emergency. The roads were paved with stone and flanked with footpaths and conducted over rivers and ravines with bridges also being able to support themselves in marsh and swamp.
Line 45 ⟶ 65:
As soon as the war ended, the Central Assembly also began to take into account the possible attacks from the rival nation of Durbinia, which at the time had a larger and superior navy. Due to this, many policies were taken into account to make sure that Durbinia was kept in check, such as the renovation of the naval forces.

[[File:Anternia Pireta.png
Anternia was onto a stage of Naval force, and with the sudden increase in Pirate ships roaming and attacking our trade-lines, Anternia took action. Anternia took upon themselves the objective of protecting the sea's trade, and to make sure that our trading partners weren't affected. As such, the Great Pirate War had started, and many of the new naval forces began to burn and destroy the various pirate ships. In many cases the Anternian senate would even pay the pirates, through negotiation to make sure they wouldn't intervene in the trade of the region.
Line 55 ⟶ 75:
Durbinia, was not happy with this new province. As the once fully Durbinian peninsula now had the Anternians occupying a city. Which led to the continuous souring of their relations, and the Embargo of the region. With the embargo, the Viceroys decided to try and survive the situation. This meant they would invest their last resorts in the agriculture of Pireta, and try and survive out of agriculture alone. Much later the mainland senate got knowledge of the blockade, deciding to ignore it.

Line 63 ⟶ 83:
Anternia's arrogance had gotten the better of them, and now they suffered for it. The Republic had now faced failure in one of the most important campaigns in their history. The senate goes into chaos, and many factions begin appearing in the senate with the purpose of using their radical ideas to fix the nation and others simply playing for their own interests.
Despite this, in the middle of such chaos, a man appeared, Ruiu

== Rise of Ruiu César ==▼
The charismatic persona of Ruiu took the nation by storm, as he transformed the nation from a Republic into a Empire, but unlike many prophecised, the Speech of Regeneration wasn't the only thing that took Ruiu into the status of Emperor. In fact, Ruiu had a vast level of influence upon the institutions of the Republic, be it merchant guilds that he promised to appease, or the vast estate that he owned.
Line 75 ⟶ 96:
With this war, the relations with nearby powers was extremely negative, with this new envoys were ordered to be sent by Ruiu. This movement of envoys sent, was rather influential to the growth of Anternia as a nation, as it successfully managed to make nearby powers more wary of Durbinia as a power.
The negative relations had until now were simply a result of overconfidence by the senate, and Ruiu knew this perfectly well, resorting to not act confident but rather act like they're equal to every state, calling it a "necessary lie". Many of the members were disgusted at this, and saw it as "Cooperating with Barbarians". Ruiu in a way to consolidate power, also began to consolidate the Anter Pantheon, by assimilating other culture's gods under the same pantheon, claiming them as all being in the same divine

With the death of the Ruiu
▲With the death of the Ruiu César, the Senate goes into a bit of distress, has no succession was ever set-up, but a quick solution was achieved by a member of the Plebian Council, National elections by the Senate and its Constituents to vote on a new emperor.
The man chosen for this job was Fernando Maior, one who appealed against the ideas of "The War Basket", saying that we shouldn't put all our eggs into war, and rather invest in the other factors of our state, in this case, the merchants and trade. Fernando was seen as a more liberal governor unlike Ruiu, which was seen as a tyrant and an absolutist.
Despite all of the talks, Fernando didn't much for Anternia, but rather sat quietly and invested in various road projects, despite this, he's still seen as formidable with the
Stability doesn't last forever however. So when the eastern Azdernyians and western Devniks attacked, the problems began again, when Fernando couldn't prepare an actual army to fight them off, and the war was lost. Fernando instead of fixing the problems of the nation, acted greedily and conquered the northern nation, this caused a economic crisis in the nation, and

The emperor faction won the civil war, against the Senate Faction due to this the military factions and the Emperor had gained more power. Fernando decides that removing the senate would cause total disruption of the government and therefore, all he will do is create a new senate, but one that is more powerless and subservient to the emperor.
One year after the civil war, the Emperor Fernando dies, giving place to a new one, this time selected by not only the senate, but by the Senate, the Arms Assembly and the Plebian Council, making the power not focused on a single class of people when it comes to selecting a new emperor. The new emperor had the name of Pietrone Enax.
Line 107 ⟶ 126:
Despite that, Pietrone is still known for not doing much besides stabilizing the empire's structures. Merely maintaining the new Empire in constant unity and integration.

Pietrone, had quickly decided on his successor, the great Júlio, a young general which had fought in the war against the Azderyian raiders. Júlio begins studying the arts of rule with Pietrone in his last days, to successfully rule the Empire of Anternia. This was in contrast to the other emperors, who simply had the rank willed upon them.
Line 115 ⟶ 133:
Júlio, in the next election for emperor, wins. He becomes the new great emperor, and being the spiritual "Son" of Pietrone, he was seen highly by the people. Júlio was the youngest emperor to ever be elected. Even young Júlio was one of the most knowledgeable leaders, being taught by the Pietrone himself.
In a weird turn of events, Júlio begins his ventures into the desert, descibring it as "a majestic place of complete brightness, where the sun never stops shining". Júlio had a belief that the desert held various mystic secrets, and that it was Anternia's objective to uncover such.[[File:Caryatids replicas at the Erectheum (2).jpg|thumb|Temple of Piernalia|left]]
===Delvik War===
The Delvik Kingdoms and Durbinia, had formed a coalition against Anternia. The senator Martina, advised against such, and said that we should fight through, and declare war against them. Martina managed to unify the Plebian Council and with this declare war on the coalition.
The various military moves and strategic interventions of Júlio proved successful again and again, and with this managed to win the war, achieving peace with the Kingdom of Kelvik, and a treaty that would turn them to the Anternian side, successfully conquering the Kingdom of Mishalik and the Durbinian Ports in the North, banishing the Durbinian influence to the southern peninsula. The once enemies of Anternia, the Azderyians fought together with Júlio, and helped extremely in the effort of the Delvik War.
This was was the single most important event in the maintenance of Anternia as the power of the East Alaxian Sea, and showed their true military and strategic might, managing to overpower a coalition of the biggest nearby powers.
Júlio was seen as the greatest emperor since.[[File:Berlín Livia 03.JPG|thumb|274x274px|Statue of Martina|left]]
===Empress Martina===
The death of the Emperor Júlio had happened, elections by the Arms Assembly, the Senate and the Plebian Council took place, and with this selection of a new emperor. With various discussions, due to the lack of selection by Júlio, or anyone in power, this election was one of the most controversial, but finally the chosen new Emperor, was in fact, not an Emperor, but an Empress.
Martina, was her name, and known as the famous senator that defied the ideals of the Plebeian Council and converted them to one single cause, to declare war on the Delvik Coalition. She was a legendary figure among the Anternian people.
Martina being the first empress, would also be the last, because as soon as her death came the empire collapsed.[[File:Anternian Kingdoms.png|thumb|Anternian Empire Successors.]]
===End of the Anternian Empire===
From the north, a collapse had happened, something that seemed to not be important, but in fact changed Anternian History forever, from the north people came with their religion and their culture, and what seemed to be the impenetrable structure of Anternia, collapsed in a instant. With the various senators not being able to cooperate and new kingdoms to appear. With this many of the people from the other empires nearby had immigrated towards the collapsing empire with hopes of gaining their own land and power in it.
