About Velbor:
𓊝 Velbor is home to over 2 million heritage sites, making it one of the most historically dense nations ever recorded.
𓊝 Nicknamed "The State of Time," Velbor's culture is deeply obsessed with nostalgia - this shows up in everything from architecture to food to daily life.
𓊝 Velbor is considered one of the earliest civilizations in Eldervale, with origins dating back an estimated 90,000 years.
𓊝 The nation safeguards ancient manuscripts, including records that are believed to be over 30,000 years old.
𓊝 The official language, Morabian, has remained almost unchanged for tens of thousands of years - only new words have been added over time.
𓊝 Some theories suggest Velbor may have once possessed the ability to travel through time, both to the past and the future.
𓊝 At the heart of the old capital, Plamenik, stands Aldrum Stoll, a colossal monument believed to date back to the dawn of civilization. Each level represents a different era - and its appearance changes depending on the era it reflects.
𓊝 There are still over 11,000 undiscovered excavation sites scattered across the nation.
𓊝 Beneath Velbor lies a massive buried city, showcasing familiar architecture - but built with techniques considered impossible for its estimated age of 8,000 years. Its origins remain a mystery.
Brief modern history:
I. THE VELMOR PADISKA AND THE FIRST ANCESTRAL REALM (937–938)
When modern Velbor truly began is disputed - 938 (revolutionary overthrow) or 997 (final institutional collapse). The public view favors 938. The Velmor Padiska saw the reformist Nowa Ludiska Jednota (NLJ) defeat the ruling Velboran Civic Union.
In November 936, the Civic Union enacted cultural policies reducing traditional Velborian customs - viewed as sacrilegious. The government intensified suppression. Open rebellion began on 15 March 937. Despite lasting less than two years, casualties were relatively low. The old regime collapsed by 938.
II. THE THIRD ALBERN–VELBOR WAR (948)
February 948: War with Albern, rooted in historical animosity. Albern's leader Talorgana ferch Drosten directly insulted Velborian culture. Velbor declared war on 20 February. Albern executed strategic withdrawal into dense forest, employing guerrilla tactics and trap networks. Velbor attempted bombing and scorched-earth tactics; humid environment and thick canopy limited effectiveness. After months of minimal gains, both sides signed white peace on 8 June. Relations remained deeply hostile.
III. THE AUTHORITARIAN TURN AND THE NEW JULY (960–978)
By 960, amid fears of instability, Velbor imposed a nationwide ban on all political ideologies. Curfews, prohibitions on public gatherings, surveillance, arbitrary social controls. Underground movements emerged via bribery. Stagnation followed.
976–978: Widespread protests erupted, driven by the Zwiazek Wolnych Obywateli (ZWO). On 7 July 978, the government arrested ZWO leadership. This backfired. After four days of fighting, ZWO-aligned forces seized the Wladarbor and deposed the old regime - the New July. The Second Ancestral Realm of Velbor was established.
IV. THE BORDER SECURITY WAR OF 990 (990–991)
Tensions reignited with Abern (border harassment, evacuations) and Keldar (incursions). Velbor declared war on both on 20 August 990. Within three weeks, Velbor restored control over lost territories.
Abern front: The Zaroles Poguba Plan - scorched-earth operation to destroy forest within 30 kilometers - achieved only thirty percent of objectives; incendiary agents failed in a humid environment. Velbor halted 15 kilometers inside Abernite territory.
Keldar front: Greater initial success. Operation Tichy Pad (8 December 990) - large-scale aerial bombardment - was exceptionally risky. Partial success; significant aircraft losses.
By late December, both fronts stalemated for three months. Logistical collapse forced general withdrawal. By February 991, stabilization occurred at immense cost. On 4 March, front commander Borivoj Radogostin was dismissed. His replacement, Dragomer Slavoslawic, caused confusion and collapse. Both fronts fell. Major cities - Radosgard, Borislav, Velimor - fell. Velbor accepted peace: substantial reparations and relinquishment of occupied territories.
V. THE KRAVAVANOCCRNY DZEN AND THE LJUDISKA RAZDORA CIVIL WAR (991–997)
Humiliation triggered civil unrest. The regime intensified repression - martial law, public executions. For approximately two months, mass repression and executions ("Kravavanoccrnydzen") occurred. Thousands executed or detained.
On 19 July 991, multiple parties united, calling for an uprising - the Ljudska Razdora. Stanomir Vysogor distributed the call. The uprising seized key locations. The government, internally divided, lost ground. On 5 January 992, the capital fell. Regime leader Bogumil Drevogost was captured; his fate remains unknown.
Phase Two – factional conflict: Four major factions emerged: the Front (North), the Dominion (Northwest), the Central (center), the League (East).
992: Battle of Solnikar (16 April) marked the formal beginning. Battle of Vodoprut Hills (June–20 November) – Dominion successfully defended. Battle of Zeravoplaz (July–5 August) – decisive League victory over Central.
993 (January–mid-March): New Year March – Front captured Lipino Sadje, Hlubinasteg (Dominion) and Medovar River region (Central). Severe losses left the Front unable to conduct further major offensives. On 24 February, League leadership passed to Radogost Mirčević, who adopted attritional warfare. Cornogo Vojevodë Campaign (June–December) – League assaulted four Dominion positions and two Central sectors. Dominion incurred substantial casualties.
994: Dominion experienced leadership vacuum. Battle of Bor Temny Forest (September) and Battle of Dolina Vranova Valley (October) – decisive defeats. Dominion surrendered by year's end. The Central State, positioned between two belligerents, faced persistent assaults. Battle of Selo Dubravka (15 March–30 July) – Central repelled initial League assault but emerged severely depleted. The renewed League offensive in October overran the position. Central collapsed in August.
Phase Three – Front vs. League (995–997): Battle of Lesoviku (May–20 August 995) – League advanced through previously impassable regions, then halted at Lukave Mountain Range. Battles of Velimira and Mokraviste (March and June 996) – Front victories. Duborad Operation (6 August – 9 September) – League advanced further.
Front counteroffensive (October) pushed League back 30 kilometers. Battle of Mirovedin (late October 996 – January 997) – second-largest engagement; decisive League victory. Operation Zarobor (April – four months) – final campaign. Front's capital captured. Remaining Front forces surrendered on 30 October 997.
The war concluded with League victory and establishment of the Third Ancestral Realm of Velbor. The state was devastated.
VI. THE WIELKI PODZIAŁ DOBROT (WPD) AND STABILIZATION (997 onward)
The Wielki Podział Dobrot (WPD) – radical economic program dismantling the former hierarchical order, introducing a new stable currency. Over the following decade, Velbor gradually recovered while revitalizing cultural traditions. Central authority grew increasingly strong and uncompromising.
VII. TEMPORAL RESEARCH AND THE 1048 INCIDENT (1022–1048)
On 5 July 1022, the government reactivated classified temporal research - aiming to revert objects to prior physical states. Progress repeatedly delayed.
March 1048: The 1048 Incident - misinformation regarding a joint Abern-Keldar assault. Armed forces mobilized for two weeks before intelligence confirmed erroneous. Velbor was prepared for war but reluctant.
VIII. THE OGNOWA DOBALOBA ROZDELBA (ODR) POLICY (1060)
January 1060: The Ognowa Dobaloba Rozdelba (ODR) mandated distribution of flammable liquids to households - practical domestic use, civilian self-defense, and military evaluation.
IX. THE RETURNER'S WAR (1105–1106)
Tensions escalated over territories lost a century earlier. Velbor declared war on Abern and Keldar (15 August 1105). After decades of preparation, Velbor recaptured most territories within two months, then proposed conditional peace. Opposing states accepted after six months. Velbor restored territorial integrity.
X. TEMPORAL BREAKTHROUGHS AND THE 1149 CONFRONTATION (1130–1149)
From 1130 onward: partial success in reversing physical state of inanimate objects. Human-subject experimentation began in 1160 - most participants prisoners; numerous unrecorded fatalities. Cryogenic containment project launched 1167.
On 7 August 1146, Velbor proposed a peace agreement to Abern - failed. On 10 February 1149, a collision (accidental or intentional) occurred between an Abern vessel and a Velbor patrol ship near Modra Voda Beach. Three-week confrontation followed; Abern withdrew.
XI. THE VELIMIR ČARNOBOR SCANDAL AND THE JAROBOR LUTOMILOVIĆ PURGE (1187)
On 22 April 1187, allegations emerged that head of state Velimir Čarnobor (in power since 1161) had accepted bribes, engaged in inappropriate relationships, and lost treasury funds through gambling. Two days later, he was discovered deceased in his office - circumstances unknown.
Svetobor Radevic was appointed. Public distrust remained severe. On 4 May, the Kniežedvor was set on fire by rioters - approximately thirty fatalities. On 10 April, Svetobor was assassinated by Jarobor Lutomilović, who declared himself head of state. Jarobor initiated a sweeping purge - nearly half of administrative leadership was removed. A new regime was established. Stability gradually returned.
XII. THE WSEBORADNA PROMENA SPOLNA (WPS) (1212)
Jarobor introduced the Wseboradna Promena Spolna (WPS) - comprehensive socio-political program. Key component: local community circles for collective decision-making. Jarobor passed away on 1 November 1236 after prolonged illness. Dobromira Radovića appointed successor.
XIII. OGNIVNA ZIVYCA AND THE FIRST GREAT WAR (1252–1271)
1252: Velbor developed Ognivna Zivyca - a resin-like, highly durable incendiary compound.
First Great War of Eldervale (7 July 1271): Keldar declared war on Velbor despite Velbor's neutrality. Velbor adopted a defensive posture. Leveraging incendiary weaponry and experimental time-freeze devices, Velbor forced Keldar back. Battle of Stenarset (19–30 August 1271) - near-total destruction. Keldar proposed peace; a treaty signed requiring reparations, no territorial changes.
XIV. THE SECOND GREAT WAR OF ELDERVALE - VELBOR THEATRE (1292–1294)
8 November 1292: Keldar declared war again. One month later, Abern entered - the Second Border Security War of 1292. Velbor launched Lesna Straza (Abern) and Recna Gvezda (Keldar).
Abern front: Battle of Brithan Fortress (8–25 January 1293) - Velborian victory via large-scale incendiary deployment. Control allowed it to advance deeper into southern Abern. Abernite attrition warfare (tunnel networks, mobile engagements) eroded Velbor's strength.
Keldar front: Keldar divided forces due to conflict with Ventrois. Velbor advanced rapidly. In May 1293, Keldar withdrew from the war.
Operation Nočna Luča (April 1293) - aerial incendiary campaign. As Velbor advanced north, humid marshland reduced effectiveness. Caltrenn (Abernite capital) changed hands dozens of times. By late October, Velbor adopted a defensive stance using time-freeze technologies.
Pax of Seraphic (5 July 1294): Velbor neither gained nor ceded territory. Many officials criticized the conflict as costly and inconclusive.
XV. POST-WAR STABILITY AND THE MYSTERY VESSEL (1294–1332)
Decades following the war: resumed stable development, renewed emphasis on cultural traditions and scientific advancement. 1310s–1320s: experimental research into life-extension and limited biological rejuvenation.
27 March 1332: An unidentified vessel drifted ashore at Breg Beach - centuries old, abandoned, faded Senas Tuath insignia. Senas Tuath reported no historical records of such a vessel.
XVI. THE ADMINISTRATION OF NEHTANIA VERC DRES AND THE PRELUDE TO THE THIRD GREAT WAR (1356 onward)
On 5 October 1356, Nehtania verc Dres was elected head of state. Under her leadership, Velbor continued social, cultural, and technological development until the onset of the Third Great War.
Ideology: Chronoservatism
Chronoservatism stated Time is not a resource to be spent or a river to be ridden - it is a cathedral to be maintained. The past is not dead; it is a living accumulation of wisdom, identity, and stability. The duty of the present is to preserve, honor, and remain in faithful service to the accumulated layers of time that have produced society. Older institutions, traditions, and knowledge carry greater authority than newer ones. Change is permitted only after proving it does less harm than preserving the existing way. Society changes like a coral reef - slowly, organically, and only by adding new layers atop well-tested foundations. Nostalgia is not sentimental escapism but a legitimate epistemic tool. Collective memory (folk songs, architecture, rituals, dialects) contains problem-solving wisdom that rational models overlook. To feel nostalgia is to sense a loss of functional harmony. Economic and cultural policy prioritizes maintenance, restoration, and continuity over innovation and growth. The living do not own society - they borrow it from the dead and owe it to the unborn. Here are 2–3 additional tenets to deepen Chronoservatism, keeping its focus on time, preservation, and nostalgic wisdom. Every present action must "resonate" harmoniously with past peaks of human flourishing. A policy is judged not only by its material outcome but by its aesthetic and emotional echo of proven eras. Disruptive innovations are permitted only if they can be framed as revivals of older, abandoned virtues. Not everything old is sacred. Chronoservatism distinguishes ancestral wisdom from ancestral baggage using a formal temporal review council. Taught as negative example for a generation, and only then archived. This prevents nostalgia from becoming paralysis, while still honoring the past's weight. No generation may undo the work of previous generations alone. Major changes require stacked consent.The dead have no vote, but their accumulated judgments act as a veto until proven urgently wrong.
