Arnor

Arnor was a fallen Kingdom of Men in the northern regions of Middle Earth, corresponding to the Mannish kingdom of Gondor in the south. The residents and descendants of this kingdom became scattered and were known as the Dunédain of the North. However, the kingdom was reunited and the capital Annúminas rebuilt in Eriador, with the leader Ar-Aphanuzir crowning himself "Emperor". After Ar_Aphanuzir was banned, faction was disbanded and replaced with Dúnedain of the North.



History
Arnorian historians have been able to compile a collection of the events that took place in the current regions of the Arnor Empire since the ancient house of the Chieftain of the Northern Dunedain, Byron_31.

Ancient Reign
It all began when in the distant June of 2019 Byron_31 became Lord of the Dunedain of the North, in the service of the then King of the Dunedain, Nocturnal Dracula. Following unpleasant events, the king perished, and the throne remained vacant. During this period the Kingdom experienced deep crisis in all its provinces, except for Annùminas, which city expanded day by day thanks to the foresight of the Dunedain Lord, Byron_31. Finally, approximately in September 2019, Byron_31 managed, through the help of some Lords, to reunite the ancient lands of Arnor, reestablishing the ancient Kingdom of Arnor, proclaiming himself High-King of the Dunedain and starting the royal dynasty of the Ar, being crowned with the name of Ar Aphanùzir. The use of the Adûnaic language, a sign of the deep bond between Ar Aphanùzir and his Numenórean ancestors did not gather much consensus among the other races of Middle-earth, and led to resentment which then turned into hatred towards the newborn Kingdom of Arnor. Under the command of Ar Aphanùzir the kingdom prospered, the construction of infrastructure and fortresses aimed at protecting the Kingdom increased exponentially, and an intensive hunt for the orcs made the borders of the kingdom safe.

Meanwhile, relations with Gondor, with whom Arnor shares Numenorean blood, and Rohan, intensified until becoming an alliance. However, once the King of Rohan, Theodèn, abdicated, and his successor KDT gained power, relations with Arnor broke down. KDT, embarked on violent campaigns in the south, unleashing the anger of Umbar, who in response to these attacks attacked Rohan. Meanwhile in Arnor, a rebellion was underway, the Dunedain forces were engaged in strong clashes against the rebel forces, and although the loyalists to the King came out victorious, the Kingdom was unable to face further conflict. When the King of Rohan asked Arnor for help, the High King refused to send his children to die for a war desired by the forces of darkness, with the sole aim of weakening the kingdom of the northern Dunedain. Following this refusal, Rohan invaded Arnor, burning villages and sowing terror in the peaceful countryside of Eriador.

In response, the High-King proclaimed the motherland defense war, and after defeating the invaders, the Arnorian armies poured into the Kingdom of Rohan, massacring the population and all those who had stained themselves with the crime of treason and murder. The war continued for some time, until peace was finally reached, which saw the two kingdoms of men allied again, although there was still much resentment in the hearts of both sides. Following these events, a period of further peace followed in the North, Arnor's forces occupied new regions in Eriador, quickly making the Kingdom of Arnor the largest and most prosperous kingdom in Middle-earth. However this wealth and peace was not well appreciated by many, the envy of the dwarves led Erebor to declare war on Arnor, who betrayed by his allies, Gondor and Rohan found himself alone and in full famine (which killed all his Lords), at this point, Ar Aphanuzir there was nothing left but to abdicate and leave the vacant throne in December 2019.

New Reign
All manuscripts and short stories relating to the Inter-reign period relating to the kings King Gror / King Aryon I / King kmakicker, have been erased by Arnor's Secret Police. This period, marked by the background presence of Ar Aphanuzir, who maintained the exclusive control of the Province of Arthedain, was a period of great decline and poverty for the Kingdom, especially under the Reign of Kmacker, who, making agreements with the Dark Lord of Mordor, he deported many dunedain to the Black Lands in order to bribe them. However, after a long period of exile in the Arthedain, Ar Aphanùzir believed that it was time to save Arnor from this king, thanks to his faithful allies, the armies of Arnor made the False King escape to the Black Lands, and the old Dunedain King Ar Aphanuzir returned to Arnor's throne again. This period, which starts from the third Arnorian civil war (May 2019) until today (August 2019) has been the most prosperous period for Arnor, thanks to his faithful Lords, Glibby Lord of Rhudaur, Flarefalk Lord of Fornost and GZ_Celta Lord of Cardolan, and many other nobles. Ar Aphanuzir was able to acquire territories that start from the Blue Mountains to the Misty Mountains, from Lake Evendim to Tharbad. Following the political annextion of Bree and Shire, Ar Aphanuzir proclaimed an urgent session of the Arnorian Senate, made up of all citizens of Arnor, to discuss the possibility of the creation of the Arnorian Empire. Shortly thereafter, following a unanimous vote, Emperor Ar Aphanuzir proclaimed the birth of the Arnorian Empire, which will guarantee the security of Bree, the Shire, and all those peoples within its borders. With this act begins the Dunedain Imperialist Era. Strong with tens of thousands of men now, Arnor expands everywhere, founding commercial bases by its faithful allies, building magnificent fortresses and cities, starting the recolonization of the ancient region of the Eregion. Following an invasion of Angmar, the war between Arnor-Angmar begins, which once again sees Arnorian troops victorious, faced with a disorganized and weak enemy, wounded by internal strife between orcs and men. Arnor proposed to his great allies: Woodland Realm, Avari Elves, Bree, Shire, Lothlorien, Blue Montains to form a strong alliance, which binds its members by an strong bond, the CSA, the Confederate States of Arda.

In the summer of 2020 Arnor made rapid claims across Eriador. However, its longstanding claim on Eregion was subsequently nullified by Staff, because it had no other claims bordering it; the claim in Eregion was by itself. Arnor then claimed various provinces near Eregion to reclaim it, but it was met with much dismay as other players had wished to settle there.

Later Ar_Aphanuzir was banned and Arnor was turned into Dúnedain of the North with new leader KrismaS.
