4 island cities, geographically and politically gathered around the main island Pearl, and the Port city of Pearl/Портове місто Перлини/.
"Formed from many, now as one."/"Сформований з багатьох, тепер як один".
Legend "Katerna, Lanka, Ellaya and Marinna were 4 sisters that pushed the landmass from the ocean floor and gathered around the pearl".
General information
Government: Unity Gathering - ruling of heads of the 4 Houses and the Admiral. A monthly gathering in the House of Trades, located in the Port City of Pearl. Ruling houses try their best at making the best decisions for Unity. This nation knows that they prosper and flourish together.
Military: Unity Navy - military organization, led by the Admiral. Admiral also has a chair in the Unity Gathering to advise and voice issues of the nation.
Crime: Overall, Unity is a peaceful nation, Blue jackets - guards that are subordinated to Unity Navy, and ready to act quickly when needs be. Unity does not allow piracy to grow bold and strong. Sea elves, native to the Lanka are the original pirates of the Pearl. There are rumors that the only tavern of the 'Safe Harbor', "The Full Kegs", is run by a pirate organization, led by the water elf.
Grievances: House Lanka has issues between ruling families of water elves and tritons. Katerna sometimes thinks of themselves as a 'standalone nation' because of how far from the other islands, but they depend too much on other islands. Marinna can blame other islands for her overpopulation. Lanka has precious crafts to propose, but almost no means to have sufficient amounts of other general goods and food. Ellaya struggles with native yuan-ti tribes.
History
In the year 615 N.E., Black Sails pirates agreed with the Toran Kingdom to attack and raid the ships and lands of Lavina, Harwan, and Yandor, to weaken the regional trade and take most of the spoils for themselves. They started to focus on the trade routes of the counties and kingdoms on the Orgon continent and Koji Empire for a few years. In 618 they started to raid the shore cities of Lavina and Yandor.
In January 619 N.E., counties decided to stand together, joined by Nikos and far northern Koji Empire (who was glad to get rid of the oppressing piracy in the Ціановий океан // Cyan Ocean), against the Black Sails and arranged an attack to stop the raiding. Black Sails knew that the upcoming Midlands Counties armada was coming and asked the Королівство Торан // The Toran Kingdom for aid, but they didn't send any ships, refusing to admit the alliance.
While the armada of Midland Counties were fighting the main forces of the Black Sails, small group of Kojin ships were moving toward the inner side of Lanka. On their way they attacked Ellaya shores, destroyed villages and killed most of Ellaya's population, and almost destroyed Pearl and city of Marinna. After the devastating attack, pirates of the Pearl acknowledged their position and decided to unite the isles and nurture their own kingdom, forming Unity.
After the war, Koji Empire built an artificial lighthouse - "Taiyō no ie" ("House of the sun" - in koji language). To support the building a new Guild of Artificers of Unity was formed.
