Syvanirastir (Nation)

Syvanirastir, officially the Ebon Sovereignty of Syvanirastir or simply the Ebon Sovereignty was a nation-state that existed briefly from 1007 to 1029 and controlled the entirety of Syvanirastir as well as some overseas territories, largely concentrated in Damalias. It was a personal union of a number of nations under the rule of the Ebon Sovereign, Arkius I Doomer, whom received this title at the young age of 13. When he died at the age of 35, the Ebon Sovereignty collapsed as none of his children was recognized as a valid heir by all of the union's member nations. This also brought an end to the millennia-old First High Kingdom of Arkasia, which had endured such crises of succession previously but, due to the collapse of many surrounding governments, was unable to handle the strain of another.

The Ebon Sovereignty, while brief in it's existence, was prosperous and effective in it's goals. The crowns of the member nations were all given to Arkius I because, according to the common Syvan mythos, he was the prophesied ruler to unite the various Syvan peoples under one banner. Throughout his reign, this seemed to be true, as he was just as effective as many other monarchs of the time when he began his rule at age 13 and he was among the best monarchs in the world when he died at the age of 35.

Calls have been made for the reestablishment of the Ebon Sovereignty since it's collapse, however these calls have been largely left unanswered until recent years, in which Arkius II Doomer, hereditary heir to the throne of Arkasia after his father Draconius II Doomer's death, began showing signs of the same great abilities as his namesake of the prior millennia. As of yet, no serious public moves or reactions to this have been made by the various modern Syvan governments, however some among them would seem to favor such a reunification, if perhaps only on the scale of an entity similar to the rather than a union of nations.
